LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 4.

Henry Heatraff, convicted at the last Winchester Assizes, of aiding
and assisting three French prisoners of war to escape, was sentenced to
be imprisoned in Winchester Jail for three years, and pay a fine of
WA. to the King.
Lord ELLEN/Noonan observed, the Court did not forget that the de-
fendant had already been in conqnement eight months; but the priso-
ner was x sort of wholesale dealer, as appeared from the evidence
tAen at the trial, and it was an offence falling little short of High
Treason.

TRIDAY, NIAT S.
SIR F. BURDEI"I. BARI'. V. EARL. MOIR A.'
The Attorney-Genera', on the part of the defendant, applied to the
Court to appoint a day in the next ensuing term, for the, Trial at liar, of
this cause.
Lord ELLENsoaouciu observed, that as the next was an issu..ble
Term, it might he attended with ;mile inconvenience in obstructing the
buiines4 of the Court, and as it was a question not requiring any irr.-
mediate decision, it could not be very it.convenient to the parties or the
Public to allow it to stand over. However, whatever the arrangement
aright be made, the Court left it to the option of the Attorney-General.
The Attorney-General, in reply, stated the nature of the action, which
was brought by Sir Francis Burdett, against the-Noble Earl, for receiving
his body under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Commons.
In the two cues which had b en already tried, between the Hon. Baro-
net and the Speaker,. and also between the Hon. Baronet and Coleman,
the Serjeant, the Court had decided in both cases that the Spt
warrant was a legal process, and therefore there was very littleto try
In the present.case. However, with the rrmission of the Court, he
would shape his 'motion in another way, and move for a Rule calling on
the plaintiff to show cause, üby this case should not be set down for
trial the nest tSMI.—Rule Nisi granted.

victed of a libel, in republishing the Third Part of Paine s Age O. Reason,

111 r. J,.istice Gan's, in pronouncing tte judgment of the Court, ani—
rnadverted with great severity on the enormity of his :,ffence, conclud-
lag by observing, that in passing this sentence the Court enter:sin:fa
little hope that it would have .ny effect upon his mind, but for tbuitake
of example they were induced to visit his offence with more than ordi-
nary severity. He then sentenced him to he imprisoned in his Nl4jesty's
Jail of Newgate, for the space of 18 cale;idar months, aid to stand in
the pillory for the space of one hour, in the front of Newg.ite, wit:iin
