portunity ; sad he trusted that the House would consent to gn
into a committee on that question. As to the " just" reduction
or the debt, which was required by the petition, lie knew no-
th'usg about a " just" reduction of the debt. The debts had
been contracted by legal Houses of l'arliament, and the country
were bound to sustain them.

Lord LONDONDERRY said lie had not beard the petitiou
read, but lie did nut rise to oppose the petition. Its particular
clause be only rose to reprobate; its prayer was not a ground
fur objection to the petition. He wished it to re•ain un the
records of Parliament, to warn other counties against the dis-
grace which Kent had fixed on itself. The debt was as just,
and they were as bound to support it, as they were to sustain
the noble property and title of the Duke of Bedford.—(Year,
hear.)—Aa to the necessity" which the noble Lord seemed
to hint at, let him lie cautious how lie advocated the doctrine of
necessity ; that same necessity might be applied to the posses-
sions of the noble Duke. (Hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL said lie contemplated no necessity as
warranting a reduction, except the absolute want of means to
to coutinue to pay the iaterest. Ile, however, had not been
aware that the noble lord was such a critic in words (A laugh.)
That any persons should be brought to sanction such a clause,
he mainly attributed to the measures of the noble lord. (Hear.)
Mr. CALCRAFT strongly condemned the odious clause in
the petition. The hon. members should have resisted it; they
should have explained it to the meeting ; and they should have
warned the county of the disgrace that threatened them. Had
they done this, lie thought it would have been successful.
Mr. J. SMITH also condemned the petition. He was glad
that the necessity hail been explained; a. explained, there
could he no objection to it.
Mr. lIROUGHAAI said, very unnecessary blame bad been
cast oil the whig leaders. The county meeting had been con-
demned ; the ministers might well be alarmed at county meet-
jags ; fur if Kent could not be trusted, he knew not what county
in England could he suffered to meet. As to the noble persons
who had attended the meeting, he bad their words for stating
that they did vote against the odious clause. It was, notwith-
stainling adopted by a vast majority. Ile also understood,
from those who were present, that such was the opinion of the
meeting in favour of the obnoxious clause, that all resistance
was vain. That was their distinct impression. The meetiug,
ton, was not confined to one party, or one class of persons a
amongst them indeed were many of the honourable baronet's
friends. The clause was adopted by accident; it was resisted
as far as it cold he ; but it did not diminish the general
weight of the petition. The noble marquis might discounte-
nance eounty ineetina,ra ; but he trusted that they would go on,
and would duly and forcibly represent their grievances. As
to the redtictiou of the debt, notli'ng would warrant it, except
that necessity where all consent was out of the question.
Mr. Caleraß and Sir E. Knatchbull explained.
Lord LONDONDERRY, in explanation, appealed to the
!loose whether lie had ever said any thing condemnatory of
county meetings—(hear);—indeed that was unnecessary, be-
cause he thought there was not likely to be any county meetings
that would so far disgrace themselves. The clause was odious
end dishonest.

Mr. BROUGHAM, in explanation, said the proposition was
not more disgraceful than the measures of the noble lord and
his friends, who had for years deprecated the currency. It wss
not more dishonest.—(Hear, bear !)
Lord CLIFDEN expressed his regret that he was present at
the Kent county meeting, and that the leaders of the meeting
should bane had so little spirit as to admit the adoption of such
clause. Mr. Cohbett came forward at the close of the meeting.
when there generally was much confusion ; and how he got
surh possession of the meeting was to him unaccounted le.
Sir F. BURDETT vindicated the petitioners. They had no
right to be branded as robbers, and 114 proposing what was
unjust. What they proposed, many good and able men ad
nutted to be correct--admitted that those who lied undertaken
to pay :20s. in the pound, were not to he called to pay 30e.—
That was a fair subject for discussion ; and if the secretary of
state for the home department were so fond of "plain-dealing,.
as he called Mr. Cobbetes proposition, lie was likely to hear
wire of it. The truth was, the country would not be the dupes
of tbelgentlemen opposi►e; they were not to be deluded by
mock plans of sham retrenclimeut.—(llear, Lear.)
Petition ordered to be printed.
The order of the day for the second reading of the Alien
Bill was rend.

Sir I. MACINTOSH strongly opposed the bill. It gave an
irresponsible power ; it was most unjust and impolitic. It was
not only felt in this country—it operated in other countries.—
He moved that—instead of " now," the bill should ba read
this day sic. mouths."
Mr. PLUNKETT defended the bill, which he contended
was necessary on political grounds, and did not deserve the
character which had been given to it. The sealing of fo-
reigners out of the country was one of the ancient prerogatives
of the crown, and one which the country approved, as it was
only opposed by a few in that llouse. He denied that the
powers given by this art had been abused by ministers. If any
ruse of that description had occurred, the country would have
rang with it from one end to the other. Ile believed the intro-
duction of this and the other measures of 1793, bad been the
preservation of the country ; and bad it not been fur those
measures, lie verily believed that there would not now base
existed the power of debating this or any other question.
Mr. Iliime proposed to adjourn the debate.
The House divided.—For adjourning Ili, against it 169,
Majority ISO.
The House again divided.—For the second reading 108—
Against it 71—Majority for the hill 31.

of the circle, under the great dome, was a temporary pulpit
around which were pews and fornis fur the ancommodation of
the company, and were tilled with rank, beauty, and fashion.—
About twelve o'clock his Royal Highness the Iluke of Glou-
cester, President of the Institution, arrived in his carriage, at-
tended by Colonel Higgins. The Royal President was met at
the great western entrance by Messrs. Greenaway and Stable,
the Treasurers, and the gentlemen of the Committee, who
conducted his RoJal Highness to bin great chair, appropriated
for him on the right of the pulpit. 1 1111 l lectiately after the per-
formances commenced with the 100th psalm, which was sung
►y the children, assisted by the gentlemen of the choir, amt

were chaunted by the children, and a Grand Chorus, by Han-
del, was sung by the Choir, joined by the chitilren. The pc--
furtuances concluded with the Hallelujah chorus.
From the judicious arrangements that were made for ventila-
tion, only four of the children were overpowered with the heat
the whole day. The patrons and supporters of the Institution
repaired to the Old London Tavern to dinner. His Ro) al
Highness the Duke of Gloucester in the Chair, supported oil

THE KIND V. JACKSON, SEN. AND JACKSON, JUN.
This was an indictment against the defendants, tither
and son, charging them with conspiracy to sue out a com-
mission of bankruptcy. The case has already beeu before
the public.
Jackson, the younger, for a sum of money, was admit-
ted as a partner in the business of Mr. Fox,• surgeon, &c.
hi liishopsgaie-street. Some time after, whilst he was a
debtor to Mr. Fox, the father made him a bankrupt, and
this pioseceitiou commenced on the ground that the de-
fendants fabricated debts alleged to be 'hue from the
father to the son, for the purpose of supporting the com-
mission. The Jery, on the trial, found the defendants
Last Term, the Solicitor General moved for a new trial,
chiefly on the ground that a material document had been
found since the conviction, which would alter the blush of
the case. This was no other than a receipt for expences
the father had been at in binding his son by indenture,
which, Milk money advanced to 1 to carry on business,
and ,1001. fur which lie had his sou's bond, suede out the
ainount of the petitioning debt.
Elie Cunt t grained a rule to chew cause, and this day it
was opposed hs Mr. Seas lett, who contended, that the
production of the doc 1111 l ent alluded to by his learned friend
would not have altered the verdict, as the Jury would not
have given credit for snore than the 4001. proved by time
sou's bond.

The Lord Chief Justice considered this a case which
ought to he submitted to the Jury in every point of view,
and the Cuurt, under all the circumstances, ordered the
rule to be made absolute for a new trial.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12.

LETS U. REV. C. \TIMONE, D.O. AND - ROLITEN, MM.
This was an action of trespass brought against the de-
fendants, who ale magistrates of the county of Nottingham,
for false imprisonment of the plaintiff. It appeared in
evidence, on the trial before Mr. Justice Park, at the last
simmer assizes, that the plaintiff was, on the 12th of Sep-
lumber, ItrtO, committed to the county gaol on the war-
rant of Dr. Wvide for further examination, and was
detained till the lith, in the Idol's' yard, when lie under-
went another examination, at the keeper's house. Ott the
2 ith he was sent, by order of Dr. Wylde, to the House of
Col rection ; and afterwards Mr. Moisten came to speak
with him on the subject of the charge, at his own desire.
Application was made by his attorney to see him ; but Dr.
ylde refused to grant it, saying, `• We will not suffer
any to see him till he is fully committed for trial." His
daughter also applied to Dr. Wylde, in Mr. Rolsten's
presence, fur liberty to see him, and for permission that
his attorney might attend him; but the answer given was,
that his dearest friend should not see him until he was
fully committed, and then all attornies and counsel might
come at their pleasure; that they knew lie had not dune
it of his own head, and they would soon have those who
set him on. A Habeas Corpus was granted by Mr. J tts•
tics Bayley, the commitment being bad, with some ex-
pression of a hope that the magistrate would admit him to
bail in the country, and save him further expellee; but
on hearing it, Dr. Wylele said he would never bail him
till he was compelled so to do. Ultimately lie was brought
to London, after lying in prison three months, and dis-
charged by Mr. Justice Bayley on giving four sureties in
2501. each. At the following assizes, a bill was found
against him, but no prosecutor appeared, and he was ac
quitted. On this evidence Mr. Justice Park said there
was nothing to go to the Jury against Mr. Moisten; and
as he thought the Jury st rind that there was a joint
trespass or none, lie nonsuited the plaintiff. In a former
teem, Mr. Common Sergeant obtained a rule to skew cause
why this nonsuit should not be set aside, and a new trial
granted.
Mr. Clarke now showed cause against the rule, contend-
ing that there was no evidence whatever to affect Mr.
Moisten, and that it would be extremely unjust to force
him to a second trial.

The Common Sergeant, in snpport of the rule, urged
that there was evidence of concert which ought to be sub-
mitted to the consideration of the Jury. Mr. Rolstea
concurred in the refusal to admit the prisonet's friends,
and was apparently acting throughout with Dr. wylde,
a. they were arm in arm when the daughter met them.
Although Mr. Rolsten did not join in the original commit-
ment, or iu the change of custody, yet if he concurred in
the continuance Of the impriso iiiii ent, lie was liable, fur
every days detention, with a fresh trespass. This ap-
peat IA to be an attempt, by duress, to obtain some com-
munication front the party accused, which wits most
COIF rary to the spirit or the British law.
The Lord Chief Justice, after conferring with the other
Judges, said, that the Court who were anxious only to do
justice to all patties, thought the plaintiff ought to have
the opportunity of sub ' g his cape to a Jury against
Dr. 11 'y but that it would be improper to put Mr.
Itulsten to the expeace of a defence. Against him there
was no evidence, because a refusal to give an order for
the admission of a visite, to a prison could never be the
ground of a trespass. They would, therefore, set the nun-
suit aside, if the counsel for the plaintiff would consent
to enter a nulle prosevii as to Mr. Mitten, and they would
give him time to reflect, and to confer with his client on
the proposal.

TUESDAY, JUNE 11.
THE KING v. PALMER AND PARE.
The defendants, Henry Palmer and Thomas J. Palk,
appealed on. the floor to receive sentence, having been
convicted at the last Surrey assizes °fa conspiracy to in-
duce Sir Thomas Chanipneys Hart. to accept bills of
exchange to the amount of and to give a war rant
of attorney. in one instance a bill of 5001. was obtained
for a canteen, described to be of great value, and otigi-
:tally part of the plate equipage of Prince Beauliartiois.—
Other bills to the amount of 1,504. for claret and sherry
write, a horse, gold snuff-box, 6,:c. The *hole transaction,
on the part of the defendants, was a cheat and fraud upon
the pro,ecutor.
Mr. Watford prayed the judgment of the Court.
Judge Best read the nun's of the trial, from which it
app, ared that Sir Thos. CJtampneys being in the King's
/tench in want of money, Palmer brought I' he canteen
as Ike property of Park, which was stated to have been
bought at the Custoni-house for 4801., and could riot be
made in England for 500 guineas. Sir Tiros. Cliamptieys
gave a bill for 5001. which went into the bands of Park to
pay for the eastern. He also gave a warrant of attorney.
Tile rani was then hawked about by Palmer, for the
purpose of raising Looney. Sir Cliainpurys, L'utvevor,

THE NATIONAL REGISTER

received no more than 1001. The next transaction was
the acceptance of bills to the amount of 1,5001. for which
he was to have fifty dozen of claret, a large trustily of
sherry, and two bills of exchange. Sir T. Champneys wee
also to have a horse worth 100 guineas, and a gold snuff-
box worth 150 guineas, which were offered as an induce- I
meat to accept the bills. The Jury found the defendants
guilty.
The defendant Park put in a long affidavit, stating that
the canteen was worth 500 guineas. Ile gave it to Palmer
to sell, and it passed to Sir T. Champueys, who raised
1001. upon it. The deponent wished to get it back, but
he had never been able to obtain it, so that he was the
loser, having never made use of the bills.
Several respectable persons gave Park the character of
an honest man.
Henry Palmer stated in his affidavit, that Sir Thomas
Champneys made the bills payable by persons who- had
given him no authority fur that purpose. He advanced
him 100 guineas, which had never been restored. He
had only received 201. to pay for the stamp, which he
found for the bills of exchange. After the bills were not
paid, lie requested to have the property restored, offering
to give back the bills. The property never was restored.
Sir T. Champneys had sustained no loss or inconvenience.
He had given nothing but bills, and had received 100 gni•
neas. The deponent described himself to be t 5 years of
age, and formerly employed in the transport service.
Other affidavits were read, which gave Palmer a good
character.
Mr. Gurney, as counsel for Park, addressed the Court
in mitigation, and made severe observations uu the con-
duct of the prosecutor, Sir 'l'. Champneys.
Mr. Comp) followed on the same side.
Mr. Watford, in aggravation, defended the character of
Sir T. Champneys, and deprecated the attempt made by
the defendants, whom be termed sharpeis, to injure that
gentleman's character.
Mr. Adolphus also complained that the character of Sir
r T. Champneys had been unjustly aspersed.
Mr. Justice Bayley, in passing judgment, considered
I Sir 'l'. Champueys a weak man, who had been duped by
the defendants. The latter, he said, had returned all the
bills, and the warrant of attorney, so that Sir 'l'. Champ-
i Heys was not liable. That circumstance induced the
Court not to inflict the fine. The sentence of the Court
was, that the detendants be imprisoned in the House of
Correction, Coldbatti-fields, four calendar months.
LOltD SONDES O. IFLLTCHER„

The Solicitor General moved to set aside the damages
assessed by the Jury in this case, on the ground that the
verdict fur 10.0tiol. was more than the circumstances
could warrant.—lt was an action on a bond, in which the
defendant had covenanted, to give up possession of an
advowson, of which the noble plaintiff was lay proprietor.
1 lie breach was, that the defendant had refused to quit
the living, being desirous of doing the duty.
The Solicitor General proved on the trial, that the life
interest of Mr. Fletchir was worth no more than 7,0001.,
and he contended, on this occasion, that the Jury were nut
justified in giving more than that mom.
The Court were of opinion that the verdict ought not to
be disturbed, observing, that the rev. defendant might re-
lea e himself by giving up the living.

TIIURNI)A If, JUNE 13.
THE SING V. A MAGIbTHATI OF NOTTINGIIA3f.

Mr. Sergeant Vaughan moved. fur a rule to show canoe
why a criminal information should not issue against a ma-
gistrate of the comity of Nottingham. lie did this on
affidavits, which set forth that the magistrate had taken
upon himself to convict an individual, under 1 Geo. IV.
for inflicting summary punishment for malicious mischief,
whose offence consisted in removing a batik which ob-
structed a way previously dedicated to the public. The
learned Sergeant argued that the circumstances loader
which this was done sufficiently proved that the magis-
trate had been actuated by corrupt motives.
The Court were of opinion, that no sufficient ground
was laid to warrant them in calling on the magistrate to
answer the charge. In order to induce them to put any
genUeman in the commission of the peace to the anxiety
and expellee of showing cause against a rule of this kind,
a prima facie case of corruption must appear on the afßda.
vas of the prosecutor. But here it was perfectly Cll.
with those affidavits, that a great deal of evidence
Oil the usher aide might have been before the magistrate,
and on which he might have acted. At the same time. by
refusing this application, they did not prejudice the party
who considered himself aggrieved, in the pursuit of any
of his ordinary remedies.

MR. CHARLES MURRAY, HOW. SEC. TO THE "CONSTI-

1 IITION•L ASSOCIATION."
The Solicitor General showed cause against the rule
obtained last term by Mr. Botch, calling on Mr. Murray
to show why lie should not render an account of monie.•,
and pay over a balance to John de Wolfe and William► de
Wolfe. or to the original owners of the vessel called the
A regt rosoia.
Mr. Justice Bayley here suggested that justice would be
best dune to both parties by a reference.
The Lord ChiefJcistice enforced the recommendation

of a reference as the best course, whether the present rule
could or could not be snpported.
The rule and all mattes@ in difference were then referred
to Mr. Alderson, with power to enter into the whole me-
rits, whether lie should think the rule sustainable or not,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
ssuNILLY, JUNE 10.
NIGHTINGALR O. HIRST.
Mr. Sergeant Pell applied for a rule to thew cause why
the defendant should hot pay the plaintiff's Costs In this
case, under the statute 43d Geo, 111. It appeared from
affidavits produced by the learned Set grata, that the de-
fendant had been arrested for a satin of VOL, that the
plaintiff had only recovered S.A., and that NOl,, had for.
nterly been paid on account. In the plaintitra demand
a bill of exchange for 1001. had been included, and the
defendant .toted it as his belief that tkc plaintiff was not
possessed of this bill until after the action was commenced.
The Court vented the rule.
WEhiNESDAY, JUNE

CLANK O. BROOKS.
The plaintiff, a licensed vitualler, brought his action
against the defendant, to recovt r t ii. and a fraction,
which the defendant had received fur hint, and bad re-
fused to pay over.
The defendant is one of those persons who, not being
attorneys, are allowed by the least respectable of those
who are admitted to practice in their names, and the chief
out of the tletuautt, tuntottutiug to UI. Lie., was
