7%c " Coarfitati.mot" dfsweiati,.LOn Saturday last,
a smartly di essed youth applied to the magistrates, at this
office, on behalf of Mr. Sharpe, the seLretary, and the
active members of the Society called the " Constitutional
Associatiou," for a warrant, or some such instilment, to
issue against Mr. Phipps, the editor and proprietor of
" The Neted," Similay Newspaper, in order that the :aid
Air. Phipps might appear forthwith before their w::uslu s,
and give bail for his appearaliee to answer a charge which
it was intended to prefer against him at the ensuing ses•
sions.

It will be recollected that at the last sessions two bilk
of indiciii ent la ere preferred helm e the Middlesex Gonna
Jury by Ilr. Sharpe against the editor of The News, for a
tivoiu his diameter, which bilk were iumorei.
the following Sunday, namely, October .48, The Meat"( con-
tained >o
tie bitter comments upon the conduct of Mr.
Sharpe and his employers, which they as well as others
still more leariled (as will be s..en in the sequel), deemed
a foul libel. As a preliminai y step the article was sub-
mitted to the perusal of Mr. Ajolpli us, who without hesi-
tating gave a wriiteil opinion that it was '4 a libel," and
recommending, 44 under existing cirentustancos,," that a
ctimival information should lie moved for in the Court of
King's Bench, in preference to proceeding by Indictment.
Mr. Gurney was nest consulted, nod the King's Counsel
proliounceil the article to be a gross libel, but he thought
the best mode proceediog would be by indictment. It
was therefore determined to proceed by indictment, and
the object of the present application was to induce the
magistrates to tall Mr. Philip, oelnre them, and hold him
to bail for his appearance at the scabious, ill order that
upon the return of the recogniza nets, the chairman might
be aware of the intention to tin ler such a iii +, and that lie
might. it lie thought fit, call the ettentiun of the Grand
Jury to the subject.
Tile applicair having made the abovestalement in support
of lee application, produced the News of the 28th ult hill), and
alm the written °minim of Mr. Adolphus, w Melt were laid
before the M Igist rates.
There were id the time four Magistrates on the
'poorly, Sir Richard lipnrie, Mr. 11liushull, nod Mr. !ills, of
this office, and %Ir. Roger. of the public lattice, in Hatton-
earden, nod upon hearing the upplurati 11l , they individually
and collectively pi oliounced it to be the must biogolar they
had ever heard M.

Sir R. Bien addressing the applicant said—" When
we have brought the Editor before us, suppose he should
refuse to give Isai', what n °old you have us do with him ?

The ant said it was not fir hits to suggest m hat
coor•e they would ft I it their duty to pursue in suen Ia case.
Sir K. Minsituil said, it was pretty evident that this ap-
plication was made by way of calif:Humid ; but the appli-
cant might be assured that the Magistrates nould not lend
themselves tit the views sillier of Mr. Sharpe or his employ -
ers, by cuutittnintat ins 'inch an irregular proceeding.
In these sentiments the rest of theNlagistratesdeelartd their
