PEA I NA.

Your country Is already freed from tyrants. From the
centre of New Grenada to Matnrin and the months of the
Oroonoko, the republican arms have glorioudy. triumphed
over the Spaniares. The armies of Bribes and Morillo, late
so numerous and so Ireastio.g, have Leen stretched on those
melds we have col:serrated to liberty. The cities of Gala-
bozo and San Fernand.) have entered nosier the protection of
the republic; and the remnant of Morillo's forces, beaten on
the 12th and kith inst. fly to take refuge w.thin the walls of
Puerto Cavell(); but in vain ; thenee we will east them into
the sea.—An army of freemen, brave and conquering, is iree•
sistilvie. Victory is before you, and Venezuela will shurtly
see her cruel oppressors either surrender or perish.
INHABITA ATS 011116 PLkltiS!—You are invincible ; your
horses, your lances, and your deserts al themselves wonlil free
you from tyranny. You shall be independent, in spite of
the empire of Spain.
The government of the repnblic secures to yon vonr rights,
properties amid lives. Flock to the banners of Venezuela,
late your insulted, but naw youir victorious, country. The
• campaign being ended by the taking of the capital. you will
again enter on the enjoyment of repose, industry, and also
possess the felicity of being free and honourable men. Of
these benefits your tyrants sought to deprive yon. Bless,
therefore, that Providence which has procured for yon a go-
vernment the most conformable to the happiness of the human
rare. (Signed) BOLIVAR.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Mommv. JUNE 2s.
IMPORTANT DECISIf!N...*NROORS v. wANWICK

Mr. SCAI lett stated, that din was all ae tion of vonidderabl e
importance to the pubic at large. The plaintiff was a re_
speciable pawnbroker, residitig ill admen, and he now
suuelit to tecover a l'ollirrtintlit.:l ill t141)141..5, for an illegal,
untie:nded and nialieaues prosecution, sellide been lusts.
toed against by the defendant, and ia ennseptence of
which, he had Leon tairrisoned on aeliarge of felony, amoined
feleits, fair 11 hours. The dyke:dant easa dl able to pay da-
mages, for he was backed by the Dire( 10111 sair the. B.lllk of
England. The present war an action which would decide
great and important point el law. He had a great respect
for maa.y of the Bank Merton in idually. Collectively,
they wire a great anti most re:sliceable trading company—
but they were only a trading company, and he knew of no
right they had to take the law into their own hands, and to
decide for themselves; any more titer. the West India Dock,
or any other trading company had. Their wealth was err.
tainly 'peat, and it as as &Mel, great wealth gave great power ;
but he had still to learn, tlat :heir wealth, Ite it ever so great,
world se: them above the law. The facts of the ease wen:
as Idioms ;—The plaintiff land, in the course of his trade, re-
ceived a one pound note front a loosen named Gorbold,
whose address, No. 4, Tavistock-street, was put on the note
at the time it was taken. The plaintiff afterwards paid the
note to a person named mil; by Lull it was paid to others,
and ultimately it was tendered at the- Bank, when it %vies
stopt as a forged one. On the 23411 of Det•ember, lei la, the
defendant who is a Batik Inspector. applied to the plaintiff,
and slated, that the iliac was a forged cue, giving it to Mr.
Brooks, who. on examining it, immediately knew it to be' the
same se hich he had paid to Mr. Bell, and told the defen-
dant Fr ; saying lie would go and give Mr. Bull another for
it. The plaintiff and defendant am ordinglv went together to
Mr. Bali, mad plaintiff ;saki a lemma in lieu of the forged
tine. They then returned to Oda tifi's house. when the de-.
feinlant demanded the note. The plaintiff, however, refused
to give it tip. He stated who he took it from, bid said he
would keep it and try to recover his money bark ; and thot
the uote snould, in the mesa time, be forthcoming whenever
cadet" for, it a prosecutieni should be hisiiinted. This did
not sat is y the dafeetiatit, who told Mr.Brool e. utile she gave
up the mite, a process would issue against tint; and on his
still refusing to give it up, the defendant applied to dlr.
Baker, a magistrate at Hatton Widen, and upon his deposi-
titre the plaintiff was slime need berme Mr. Baker, to answer
for a felony. He (31r. Scarlett) supposed the th•fentlant
founded his proceeding on the Act of the 4th of the Kiug,
which providzd, that any person having a forged note in has
possession, knowing it to be so, and not being 'able satisfac-
torily to iteeutnit ter the manner in which it bad come into his
possession, should be geety of felcuy and liable to be tram,-
ported for la rare. When the munitions from the magistrate
was delivered, Mr. Bruoks attended immediately, and the
defendant then pretence' his charge ag ailist him, of having,
knowingly and willingly, and wi:lttiut stillicteot excuse, in tti s
psssession, a forged note, and upon this charge the pfaintiB
was committed to the New Pd son as a felon. He vas after-
wards brought sap for a secto.d examinatiou, uiteu Mr. West•
wood attended as solicitor to the Bank ; and the plaintiff %as
then told, that if he• would glee up the note he would be b.
betatelk The pleintiff stili iefused to give if tip. but at
length he. cumpeoluised the matter, and deposited the- forged
note (as it was milted; in the hands of the Magistrate, and
from-that day to this, he understood, it remained its the hands
of the Magistrate, sealed tip, no etre having been taken upon
it i nor had the plaintiff received any motile 'nation los the
injury he had rustained in being imprisoned and dragged
through the streets as a feton. To obtain compensation for
that injury, alai to clear his owu •character, the plaintiff'
brought the present action.

Loid Ellenborough observed, that on ,tio opening of the
Learned Counsel, it appeared both part'ts hat: been wrong.
Neither party could have a property to the toned note. it
was a imisance, and only avail.,ble to r minote the ends of
justice. When tendered the Bank had a right to lay bands
on it, and detain it ; hot they lia4 HU right to impri.in the
plaimitimuler this Act, for a felony, since he accuitisp 4 for
the iv-Jte being in his peseession most -atisfaYority. The de.
tai JJ tig the note by the Bank in the first instance might
have been justifinble ; the subsequent proceedings mere an
excess.

Mr. Searlett said, it wits fur the malicious imprisonment
the plaintiff sought redress.

Lord Ellenhorongio observed, the eondnet of the Bank, on
all oecit ions, was such 13 to prove there was no malice. Hi.
Lordship stiggested to the other bide the propriety of sutler_
log a verdict for such damages at would carry costs.
Mr. Scai lett said, 1114 client was catty se accede to this.
He only wisacil to justify himself-in the ryes of the public.
Mr. Tv ping, for the defendant, was sorry be etsuld not
adopt his Lordship's suggestion; Lot the facts of the case
would prove materially different flout what had bt en stated.

JAI Eilenborongli evosadered a further disl*l/104011

cious. He should ce,tuiuty, npoof these facts, dii eel the July
that the defendant nos not Jottitied.

Mr. Scarictt Ilicti called !Im witursys.

J. Bennett, shopinan to the plaintiff, proved Warwick
coming to Us, shop un the 28th of December, Ibltt. lie
brought all. note to his baud, and destrtd to know who they
had it of ; it was mat kcd 6. forged" on tho face. Wit-
Hess read the moor and adbess of the person from whom
the note W4S taken to Warwick. Mr. Brooks was called out
of the parlour, and, on the lade being ,hewn to biw, he said
he 'mid it to Mrs. Bull, and would go and pay him fur it. He
and Warwick stem to Mr. Bull's and returned widt Warwick,
who desired to have the note back. Brooks refusrdl to gist
up the note, saying, he wished tu ',nth:ovum to ti ace it bark
to the person from whom he took it ; and that it should be
fortheonno4' when called fur. Warwick said, a process
would be tamed agaiust him, if he did not return it. Mr.
Brooks still refused, sod Warwick went away. Foy, the
utheer, came tither that evening ur next day, and delivered
Mr. Brooks a sammo!:s.

Ciuss est% sssss led—'lhe note was stamped with She word

Warwick desire Mr. Drunks to go with him to Garbold, in

note. U•truick said, it the Hole was retnrned. ho would

Mr. Topping— You see, my Lord, they have cliargrd
with having imprisoned Mr. Brooks nialicion.dy, false y, and
without probable cause.
Lord Ellenhorough—And they have proved their case steo
by step. I wished to say as little- as possible Cu tl.is
ou had better adopt my preposition.
The defendant still detliued accediug to the IttgiOblion of
h is Lordship.
Mr. Baker, the Committing Magistrate,. priced the mi.
mitment on the gist of December ; and Li the warrant of
coinmitineut he was ordered to be brought tip again or. the
Ist of January. He was then re-examined, and it was agreed
that he bitUltiti deposit the note *ids the witness, and that the
Bind, would not proceed to prosecute. Witness recollected
Brooks saying he would not part with the forged note; Le
would keep it, to compare of notes with it. and thus din.
cover forged notes from good. Vi ittiess said ;f be wished to
try the question with the Hawk, be would commit him for fie.,
minutes. aail he might then be admitted to bail. Witness
if alter this notice he detained the nett., lie would, in his•
opinion, have posayssion of it without lawful excuse.
Lind Elleithorough—'That deri*iii was wrong. The ba •
in;; unlawfully in possession must relate to having pos.,ession
in the first instance, soil net to any subsequent possession.--
He had given value for it, and that was a juitiliable excuse.
Besides, the note was marked " forged," and could do 1.3
tot then harm.

Mr. Gurney-01s, my Lord, instances have been known in.
which this musk has been obliterated, and a re-utterirg had
been male.

Lord Ellenhoroucli observed, this did not alter the cam--
The cutest seemed to be, whether the pet-socal liberty of at
subject ho itivAded, or the law of ihe Batik Clet shouit4
be Arch' uti to be- wrong,

Mr. Topping addrcased the Jury on the part of the 4es
fendant, and contended that the plaintiff was not justified in
detaining the note front the defendant. If this were to be
allowed, it would go very far to prevent the discovery of the
original fain ice tor of the nutea nine times out ef ts ts. He ;Iva
contended, that here was no malice whatever against the
plaintiff; on the coati ary, it be would have consented to have
lint in bail, lie svould not have been emimaiitted at all. Ties.
Bank had only acted as they evil:thieved they were justified
by taw in acting; and even if Um Jury should, ander Is:a
Lordship's direction, consider they were rot strictly within
the protection of the law, and that a verdict should be taken
for the plaintiff, he submitted, that *try small damages would
two compensation fur an evil he had brought on himself.
Lord Ellenhotaugh au d tip.; and in doing so, said, the
lain!.ff had given ad the info; tnati ssss mjhis power respecting
this 1101 e ; and there was not a shadow of ground to say,
he came within the clause which ensile it felony to have a
(urged note in hie posr.essiun, nut being able aittistietucay to
account fur the same. The plaintiff had token the time In
the course of his trade; he iritorined the defendant of w Yeas
