lkiondr.l a meeting of the special Committee took
place, when Sir T. Turton was called to the chair, and
read the report of the Committee of Proprietors, of the
Bth of June, which was as follows

" Having attentively investigated the matters referred to
them, they have great regret in observing. that the state-
ment of accounts presented to the last General As-embly,
however different in its result from the expectations which
the Proprietors had previously been encouraged by the Ge-
neral Committee to form, appears correct, so far as the same
are therein detailed, but other claims, no* included therein,
have beets made uu the company, which are now the subject
of litigation.
" The accounts appear to have been kept with exemplary
regularity and precision ; and the true state of the compa-
ny's affairs limit at all times have been known, or might have
been easily ascertained by the Tru►tees and Sub Committee
of management.

" NAIRD, Chairman."
A long conversation ►hen ensued, in which Messrs.
Palmer, Welsh, Robins, tl.o Chairman, Lord Kinnaird,
Messrs. Cocker, I•allowlield, Richard, Quin, and Lord
Yarmouth bore a part ; when
I►lr. Warren moved, that the Report and Resolutions
of the Committee should be adopted.
The Hon. Mr. Lamb seconded this proposition, and
declared his perfect accordance both with the Report
and the Resolutions. lie long thought the affairs of
the theatre ought to be overhauled, and laid before the
Proprietors; and was glad this had ut length been dune,
as he was sure the result would be beneficial to all par.
ties. It was utterly impossible, in his opinion, that a
theatre could be governed by a Committee ; there must
be one despotic Manager, or nothing advantageous could
be elketed. Who this person was to be, would ofeourse
be the subject of future considcratian. lie wus sorry
to remark that impatience among the creditors had
been manifested, nut by the poor tradesmen, but by
those who had reaped the greatest advantages from the
Establishment.

The chairman then said a few words in justification
of the Sub-Committee, and concluded by putting it to
the senbe of the Meeting, that the Report and the Re-
solutions should he adopted, and carried into executioa.
They were put ant'. carried.

The names of several gentlemen were added to the
C'numittee ; and thanks having been unanimously voted
to Lord Kinnaird, and the rest a the Members of the
Committee, and also to the chairman of the day. the
meeting broke up.
There have not been I:my performances since Tues-
day night, and it is intended to be opened only during
the benefit nights for the remainder of the season.

TUC ZING. ON THE PROSEEtrrior4 OF 'nig MARQUIS 01

UXETCH,N. URAKARIII.

„.,Gurney ilia, that be was instructed to show cause
ataiast a risk for a criminal iefortnation against the pro.
prietnr of ” The Stamford News," fur a supposed libel upon
the Marquis of Exeter.
Lord Etlenborough asked, if Mr. Gurney were provided
with any affidavits in whit h it was sworn that the imputations
eantained in the alleged libel were true.
Mr. Gurney answered, that he was : several persons, whose
natacs it was not necessary to state, deposed to the irregular
and indecorous conduct of the Marquis of Easter, who, in
company with a Capt.SPercy, had frequently (seven Iny'ances
bonnie particularised) ridden through flu town of Stamford,•
nodding, eke. to females whom he saw : on one occasion lie
stopped before a window where some most respectable la.
dies were sitting, and who in consequence were obliged to
•eetire. At another time his Lordship had been seen smiling.
and nodding at Mary !Selland, a milliner and dress maker in
use tows, and peeping into the shop where she was at work.
".I.lse Noble Marquis had carried these improprieties •to such
s length, that his conduct had becomeihe subject of general
eouversation and complaint. He had also several continua-
ory affidavits on behalf of the defendant, the proprietor of
d: "Stamford News."
Mr. Clarke, on the other side, interrnpted Mr. Gurney,
end observed, that it acs unnecessary to enter further into
the facts stated in the affidavits, if the Court thought that a
repetition of the assertions in t'.e libel on affidavit afforded a
stsfficient answer to the applicatioseforiterimitiallitfurmation.
be Martinis of Exeter had not had an opportunity, mid pro-
bably could not contradict what was worn, that lie bad ridden
through the streets of the town, of which he was almost the
tole proprietor, and he might have looked into a milliner's
shop.; bnt the Learned Counsel submitted that this could not
evarraat the gross attack made upon him by the defendant is
the newspaper of sshich he was the proprietor. The Mar-
quis of Exeter was a very young Nobleman,asid might, per-
haps, have been guilty of souse of those indiscretions from
which his rank did not exempt hint; but it was not fit ,tor
the sake of public decency, that they should thus be made
the mitsjeet of public discussion. •
Lord Ellenborough.—" It should seem that ties staring in
at the windows and these noddings have been many times re-
peated, and they lead to the conclusion that there ie-soine-'
thing improper its the cunduct attic Marquis of Eseier,•which
has been made matter of animadversion said complaint. 1
apprehend, according to the rule the Court has laid down
for itself, it will ;sot interpose by criminal information, if the
facts are confirmed wen affidavits ; bait it leaves •ffie.party
to his remedy before a4.trand jury"
Mr. Clarke repeated, that the .Marqnis of Exeter was a
very young Nobleman, only about 18 years of age.
Lord Ellennorotigh.--“ We do not say whether the pith-.
lication is a libel or not ; only that the Court, under thsteir-
enmstances, will not take notice of it."
Mr. Clarke submitted, that the affidavits did not suffici-
ently answer the complaint. The Marquis of Exeter had a
right to ride tin ough his own borough, and if he saw friends
at a window, there could lee no great harm in nodding to
them.
Lord Ellenborottglt again said, that as affidavit!: were pro-
duced to show that what was advanced in the letter pub-
Eshed in the " Stamford News" was true, the Court would
nut interpose.
Mr. Clarke complained that the attaelehad been repeated ;
and that to prevent the further outrage of his Lordship's
t had become necessary to take some step or other.
Mr. Janice Bayley observed, that if the Noble Marquis
thought it, prudent, he could bring his case before a Grand
Jury, and that-very shortly, as the assizes were eu near.
Mr. Gurneyairaiedvimt particular pains had been taken to
distribute the letter iu question, as Was Mated in the affida-
vits ou the other side; only two copies hail been -Rivet+ ay,i
besides the ordinary circulation of the newspaper.
Mr. Justice Bayley said, that the regular purchasers of the
newspaper might be very numerous.
Mr. Gurney contended that the defendant h..d not repeated
his libel; he Lad only ma:ntained the fact lie had mice as.
zerted, anal which he was ready to rove.
Mr. Clarke referred to the indecent observations made by •
the Editor of the " Stamford Nests" upon the motion liar a
iiiiitial iuformation ; as to the part of them that related to
b !nisch*, and supposed mis.stateenent, he had made, be was
pe fleetly. indifferent. —Rule discharged.
CRIMINAL INFORMITION.

Mr. soarlett adeeressed their Lordship, and requested
t:iit they would permit him to make a motion, which, unless
made tmelay. a young Nobleman would still continue subject
to those persecutions which he had suffered for some time
past. His application was for a criminal information against
public print, and lie made it on the part of Lott; Cherie:se
Spencer Churchill, whose character heel been attacked in the
grutsest ;Hammer, and who had been tormented !milt with pni'.
I;: and private libels for sonic time past. His pi esent appli.
ration was founded on affidavits verifyitc,.; es cry word which
he should suite to their Lordships. It appeared that on tin
10th of last mouth Lord Charles Spencer Churchill %WU till

ported to contain 4 correct account of the accident which
had happene.l in the Kings-road, and it imputed she occasion
of the catastrophe entirely to the tiirious driving of tvi. Lord-
ship, and ►o his improper impatience in aateinteting to piss
the carriage. The letter went on to state that the witnesses es.
amined brfOlr the Coroner were anailimous in imputing the
accident to the negligence of Lord Charles, and ,ft contained
a comment upon his Lord•ttip's conduct, ;hewed in the
stronost language. Since that time, a second letter had
appeared in the same paper, sited T. Tooke. expressing in.
dignation 41 the manner iu winch his Lordship had treated
the matter. Lord Charles having gone to a ball at Almaek's
on the sante night oil which the accident happened, and never
having once sent to inqnire after the family. The Learned
Counsel said, that the assertion contained in both these letters
were false and calumnious, and observed, that Lord Charles
had also received certain anonymous communications, in
which lie bad been charged with the murder of the young
lady.
Lord Ellenborough.—" One does not tknow but that he
may have been negligent in driving, but that was not a
ground for a charge of murder. It was certainly unfeeling
in him not to have called npou the family after the accident."
Mr. Scarlett.—" lie did call, my Lord. This is a misre-
presentation."
Lord Ellenhorongh.—" Yoti are not now moving for a cri-
minal information against Mr. Tooke, but against a news-
paper. If you can bring the anonymons lettrrs home to Mr.
Tooke, it is well. You may then move :or a criminal infor-
mation against him."
Mr. Scarlett.—" Three witnesses were examined before
the inquest, Mr. Tooke, Mar) Smith, and 11 ',Main Junes.
The jury were unanimous in their opinion, that there was no
improper driving on the part of his Lordship. It was oiey
Mr. Tooke who swore that there was any negligence."
Lord F.llenborongh. —" There was different evidence be.
fore the Coroner then, if Mr. Tooke swore that there was
improper driving."
Mr. Searlett.—" Yes, my Lord.: but the newspaper had
no right to state that the witnesses were unanimous on the
subject. On the ccitrary, all but Mr. Tooke swore that
there was no negligenne on the part of his Lordship."
Lord Ellenborough.—" This is certainly a misrepresenta-
tion, and upon that account I think you are entitled to your
rule to show cause."—ltade granted.

TRL ZING •. STANAEY, ESQ. AND 31010 AW.

This day the sittings for Ntiddresex commenced before Lord Ellen •
borough. This was an indictm eat against the two defendants, the
enethe son of Mrs. Stanley, widow of elate Master in Chancery, and
the other her coachman. for an assault upon Samuel Darby, a
livery stablokeeper.
Mr. Gurney went shortly over idle facts out of which the prose-
cution arose, stating thattheinjory the party had received to be of a
very serious nature. He then called the following witnesses :
Samuel Darby deposed, that he was a livery stable keeper at North
Portland sinews : the defendant Morgan was coachman to Mrs.
Stanley.; the other defendant was her son. Mrs. Stanley jobbed
horses sith the witness, and en the Lich of December last Morgan
brought the horses home from the country, having used them very
ill ; he came at four in the afternoon, :_usrl did not attend to the
horses until at 11 at night ; they were then harnessed, and wit-
ness remonstrated, and said that he should not use them o again ;
but Morgan said he was independent of the witness, and knocked
him down. He then went away, but returned with young Stanley ;
the witness insisted that the defendant should drive the horses no
more; defendant said he would. and .track the witness on the
breast, and broke one of his ribs ; at the same time young Stanley
struck the witness on the mouth, and cot his lip ; they then both fell
upon him and beat him very much. Young Canley then took him
round the body, and said, " Out with him.- d—n him we'll have
him out, if we murder him." Tire witness. ;hen cried murder. A
person named Bunke!l then came to his assistance, and the two de-
tkndants went away with the carriage and horses. 'file witness kept
his bed for a week, and was attended fur a fortnight by a metlival
man.

-----
Crosseismined.—The wit Lia was quite sober, and was not abu-
sive, though haaligh: speak rather sharply to the coachman. The
witcnarefused to let his rses go out at 11 o'clock at night. They
had been starved in the country, and he had said that the same
coachman should never drive them again, but that some other man
might.
Lord Ellenborough, in this stage of the cause, put it to Mr. Rea-
der, for the defendant, .whether he could thoputc she fact of the
assault.

Mr. Reader answered, tint 'theidefendant had taken care to put
Mr. Stanley on the record, so as to prevent him front giving evidence,
but he should be able to contradict the witness upon collateral mat-
ters. Mr. Stanley was a young man of most peaceable demeanour,
and son of the late Master in Chancery.
Mr. W. Bunkell had been called to the spot by the cry of murder.
Morgan was then gone, but young Stanley held the prosecutor by
force round the waste, but did Dot strike him. Morgan had got the
horses out.

Mr. Baylis, an apothecary, had attended Darby, who had consi-
detalk fever and a cough ; a rib was fractured on the right side ; be
was also much bruised, and his head contused. The witisess had
visited him more than a month.

Mr. Header addressed the Jury for the defendants. Young Stan-
ley was only between t 8 and 19 years of me. but not atoll of a dispo-
sition to commitran outrage of this nature, The horses were jobbed by
the year. the coachman was: bis mother's, and for the time the horses
were her's, and she had aright to have them out at any time of the
night, being amwerablstor misuse. The tact was, that IJarby was
quite drunk at the time.of the amid t, and young Stanley might
legally exercise so much force upon the rrosecutor as was necessary
to give him the use of his soother's horses to carryiiim to his too-
theels the night being: very svet. It was very likely that a struggle
took place, but it was entirely owing to Darby's refusing to unto;
Mrs. Stanley's coachman to ....Chi: out her horses. The leaened coun-
sel contended, that if lie was whit. toeontradict the prosea:tor upon in-
ciderual particulars, they would btheve him as to the main fact
of the .aysault, _ .

John Ca4diCot, sergeant, or cnnstablo of the night, at Mary le•
bone, swore that lie had seen th..: prosscutor extremely intoxicated on
the Right in question ; he wati ivaning on the pole.of a carriage, as if
he could not support himself without it.. The witness had never heard
a man use more zross and abusive language. This was soon after
the.assault, and N.g,rgan was present as well as young Stanley, whom
the witness did not know. The witness was not aware that Darby
had been assaulted, and limn.' co complaint.
Matthew NVeklon, a u atehman, saw I hirby very drunk endeavour-
ing to unbuckle toe 'wises from the role, violently abusing the coaeh-
man, and saying that young Stanley was no gentleman, but some
scamp of the can'.
Thomas 011 y saw I kcity after rhis assault very drunk. aid very
..ahmive to tile defendant M9r:,,,aa after he returned with his horses to
the stables. _

. epirstion from the Ilene!, Mr. 'Leader admitted that he did
not dispute that there had been a conflict, but he contended that there
was not suthrient evidence to show that young Stanley was guilty.
Mr. Gura9, i.i ready. insisted that the appearance of imoxicatien
oecasioned by the cruel heating the prosecutor lst. rceeivai bum
the ten eefendiuits.

o'clock on Saturday night, with a sack, containing what he
suspected to be stolen property, and took hint to the watt+.

only four small loaves; but as he could lint give a satisfactory
account of their possession, the Constable sent hint to the

the master of the house was from home. lie was then direst

rope fastened to each arm, was tied to two watchmen, and
thus taken to the Contort...where he remained until Monday
