attacked by one of the yeomanry cavalry. He was re-
maining in the house. He was so wounded and incapa-
citated, that he had since been unable to provide for ism
family. He Lusted the house would institute inquiries,
and adopt measures such as would prevent the repetition
of such outrages. The hon. baronet availed himself of
this opportunity to do justice to Mr. Pearson, against the
statement of the Solicitor General, regarding persons
turned out of the Infirmary, Maneuester; he learned from
good within ity that the Solicitor General bad beets wholly

Mr. DENMAN deemed it dne to Mr. Pearson, who,

arid not Mr. Pearson's. As to the met thug, be had never

'the next item was for a maw of 56,0001. for garrison
stores, and blankets.
Mr. HUME contended, that this sum was exeeseive,
and clever could he expended.
Mr. GIPPS proposed to reduce the sum to 33,0001.
Psi r. It. WARD opposed the reduction. The expencee
of this department were very considerable, as would ap-
peal trom the 1110104 of expenditure, which lie was ready
in lay before the house. if reqttited. If the proposed
anteudinent erre now adopted, the demand on the moor°.

W A Itl] said, if the committee was desirous of it,
the vote might he postponed till the accounts were Were

Mr. HUME thonelet the account should be laid before
the house. He coutended the estimates ought to be given

The amendment was ultimately negatived.
The next stun moved was 817,4.'41. lOd. for balance of

Mr. HUME said that 4,t 61. of this seem were for emi-

831. 18a. was allowed for a master gunner, and there was
no gum all elms haring bete removed to garrisons since
Lord Siihnouth's famous letter.
Mr. WARD said he had no uhjection to make the sum
mentioned a vote by itself ; but really he sal a no reasons°
pause au this amnion. The master gunner was generally
al old veteran.
Mr. HUME said that sub-lieutenants often got those
places, as in the instance of Carlisle.
Mr. RENNET r said Mau specific stuns ought to be
always voted for specific services.
Mr. WARD withdrew the motion, and moved 4,36111.

Mr. HUME Loped this would be changed next year,

Mr. HUME wished to know where the staff anus corps
was provided fur : 131 of these officers were staff °dicers,
and had pet-gaieties. This wee a most extraordinary pt..
portion. He thought the staff might be so reduced as to
save 30,0001. to the public. He understood the present
item was for the regular pay, and therefore he should not
oppose it.
Mr. WARD said a few words In defence of the staff,
after which the resohitiod was agreed to.

CAPT. PARRY'S WORK.
•—•••-•
An account of the late voyage to the Arctic Regions
has just been published by Capt. Parry. Among the
numerous interesting facts contained in it, the following,
on the singular effects experienced from the intense
cold, are not the least curious:—
" The effect of the intense cold was such on the 2gth
October, when the mercury in the barometer stood at
32.71) inches, that it bscame rather a painful experiment
to touch any metallic substance in the open air with the
naked hand ; the feeling produced by it exactly reseim
blunt; that occasioned by the opposite extreme of intense
heat, and taking off the skin tram the part, effected.—
'file eye pieces of the telescope, if suffered to touch the
face, occasioned a severe burning pain.
Wilint the thermoineter stood at 2611 degrees, the
smoke of the fires in the vessels, as it escaped front the
funnels, scarcely rose at all above the hawsings of the
ships.
" O.t Christmas-day, the officers of the Heels had a
piece of roast beef for dinner, which had been on board
since the preceding May, and was preserved without
salt. merely by the antiseptic properties of a cold atmos-
phere. The distance at which sounds were heard in the
open air, during the continuance of intense cold, was a
matter of great surprise. People were often heard dis-
tinctly Immersing, in a common tone of voice, at the
distance of a mile.
" Au artilleryman, named John Smith, running into
she air without his gloves, had his fingers in half an hour
so benumbed, and aii i iii taunt so completely suspended,
that oh haring his hands plunged into a basin of cold
water, the airfare of the water, was nn oediately frozen
by the cold thus suddenly communicated to it. His fin-
gers were obliged to be amputated.
" The following anecdote illustrates the dry humour
of the sailor, and his indiffertnce to hardships of the
severest kind :—A party belonging to the Griper being
petit to quitri,e souse relit deer, unfortunately lost them-
saves for several days, and were obliged to live upon raw
grouse, which they shut. One of them, nattifd Peter
Fisher, heing asked on his fiist arrival on board, what
they hail lived upon—" Lived upon," said Fisher, dryly,
" tote Duke of Wellington never lived so well. We had
grouse lor breakfast, grouse for dinner, anti grouse tor
supper, to be sure."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OP LING'S REN4H.
MONDAY, MAY 14.
Mr. Denman moved for a new trial in the case of the
defendant, the editor of the E samimer , who was bound
guilty upon an information filed by the Attorney Gene-
ral of a libel on the purity of the House of Commons.—
The trial took place before a special jury. Ten special
jurors were in attendance, and two were talesmen.—
rhe learned counsel said the objection on which he
applied fur a new trial was something similar to that in
the case of the King v. Cartwright, Irons Warwick. He
had affiluvits of two of the 24 special jurors struck for
the trial of the defendant. 11(4%1111C that they were not
summoned by the Sheriff or his officer to sit on the jury.
He had also the affidavit of Mr. Hunt, who knew no-
thing of the transaction until After the trial. Under
those circumstances he had to submit to the court, that
there was not a competent jury to try the defendant, who
was consequently entitled to a new trial. Mr. De an
cited the provisions of the special jury act, 3d of George
l. as well as several decided cases, contending upon the
whole, that the omission on the part of the Sheriff was
injurious to the defendant, who had 1)Cell deprived of
his special jurymen, and forced to take talcsmen. He
also argued at sonic length upon the mischievous con-
sequences which might arise from the sheriff having the
power to omit summoning soy jurors he might please to
except. It might so happen that lie only summoned
two of the special jurors, leaving the ten others to be
chosen as talesmen, and those ten might be the defen-
dant's enessiics.

Mr. Ju►tice Bayley obserted, that any Sheriff acting
partially would he liable to punishment, and the defetid-
aut, it injured, would he allowed a new trial.
Toe court, taking ions consideration all the matter
urged by Mr. Denman, were of opitt:on that he had
made out no ground for a new trial. It was not sug-
gested that there had been any collusion on the part of
the sheriff, and the court was not itound to impute a
crime where there was no proof. Independent inf that
consideration a compliance with the motion inialit en-
tirely cnange the verdicts in civil and cri• I cases.—
if the 01114111011 to summon one or two jurors out of the
Y 4 was to be the ground of a new trial. it would take
away the principle in ctiminal jurisprudence su fat our.
ahle to the defendant, namely, ►hat the defendant once
acquitted could not be tried again. If, alter acquittal,
at shook' uppear that tate of the jurors had out been
bill 111111 l tied, the crown would have the 14111 C right to ask
a new trial. The motion was refused. . .

Mr. Gurney then said, if it would suit the conveni-
ence of Inc court, judgment would be shoved against the
dvcrlitlaill all Thursdiy se itnight.
'hie Cilia Justice said, the court did not object to
that day. lie aim tnitlrtatrd that Mr. Denman WJS at

THI ICING V. JOHN THELWALL.
The defendant in tnis case has been indicted for a
libel at the instance of a Society calling itself the Con-
stitutional Society.
Mr. Blackburn now moved for a rule to shew cause
why the names of tile prosecutors should not be furnished
to the defendant. He moved this on an affidavit which
stated, that on the back of the indictment the names of
Horatio Horton and J. Stonens were indorsed, and
the defendant's attending to put in bail, Mr Alacrity, the
secretary of the Constitutional Society, was -present as
solicitor fur the prosecution, hut would give no informa-
tion as to the parties' names who instituted the proceed-
ings. "1 he names indorsed on the indictment were wit-
nesses to prove the purchaseol tile libel and proprietorship
of the defendant. lie nuw contended the defendant was
entitled to know the names of the prosecutors, as some
of them might otherwise be iiiipaimelled on a special
jury to try the cause, and also that it might prove a ma-
licious peosec , or the deiendant might have to claim
costs. in which case his ig ))))) duce of the prosecutors
would deprive him of his remedy.
The Court refused the rule on account of the novelty
of the application, and the inconveniences to which it
might lead, if complied with. But the court directed,
that. if a special jury should be struck, the defendant
should be furnished with the names of such members of
the Constitutional Society as were elniible to be in tne

each juryman. as he came to be sworn, if he was a mem-
ber of Gist society, and that they coistidered would give
the defendant all which the jusace of the case required.
Rule refused.

FRIDAY, MAY 18.
TIIRRY V. MORNBY.

This was an actioiitWreCovWeliveii weeks lodging, at
sia slullings per week, whiten the de.eutlatit's wile had in
the house of the plaintiff.
The case was one of interest to the public, as it invol-
ved the question of a husband's
The tiefendsnes wife was much addicted to liquor,
so much so, that site idedged the wearing apparel oh her
husband and children to priocure strong untik. It was
clear that the defendant treated her kindly, and would
have been glad to keep her in his house; she, however,
wishe.l to separate irons him,and he at last consented to
a separation. There was an agreement drawn up between
them, which was not carried iiimericci. She was to have
twenty shillings per week, ;Or herself and a Child, until
she signed a deed of separat.on, and tinily after she did
sign it. She went to live fist with her mother, where
the defendant sent her clothes and necessaries. She
then went to live in the house of the plaintiff, and the
defendant sent notice in wilting that he would not be
answerable for tier lodging. lie paid his wife we twenty
shillings for a time, and finally the arrears, which made
the allowance thirty shillings from toe she left her
house.
%lr. Scarlett contended, upon the above facts, that the
plaintiff could not recover. There were but two cases,
he said, in which a tradesman could recover fur lodging
afforded a wile. One where the husband authorises his
wife to receive credit ; and, secondly, where catchy
has compelled a wife to leave tier husband. Thiis was
not a case which came within that class., and the plain-
. tiff, who went on trusting after due notice, must be
non d.
Mr. Nlarryait contended, in support of the action, that
it was a the case of a woman separating with the consent
of her husband, who was hound to pay fur her main-
tellallCe.
The learned Judge put the case to the Jury upon the
facts, and without hesitation they returned a verdict for
the defendant.
