LIBEL.

Tilt HINL; r. R. H. avenast.
Mr. Serjeatit Rest moved the jtolginciet at the Court on the
delsia.kint, for a libel printed and poblished by hint at Chrlinstitrtl,
in 18):!. during the continuative of an cluetion of a represesitative
torlitc comity Ist Essex, oo )lontag Burgoyne, Eq. one of the
candidates. The lihei co, planted of was contained in rote of those
eiliisious of spil it kyleich find vela at the pinta of the pi ndiog elec-
tions, awl are ;:eitei.elly desionlioatt d Election Squibs, and was en-
tolcd, " A P....0i1y issi the Beggar's Petition." It commenced ,
With the Ithisot isti! hoe,
.4 Pit v corrnws of a fallen man ;"Ir
and contittioal to ettatge, Mr. Bingos., e with having been guilty of
a Law': !mewl, of duty in his character of Colonel of a yeomanry
corps, siecriiog :din of heft Mg plundered the mcii under his cum-
ulated, anti FaCrificeil I;is puac duty as an Officer to the forwarding
pia privite intere.t. One yes- eof the libcl was as follows :
" 1 tosio4at my horses at the cheapest rate,
But charged lise puhtie to the fo:1 ainamit ;
An 1 e'cn the 'owl those horses should l• tve ate
I kept, and toned it to my own account."
The above is a fair specimen of the parody, and was the libel •
ut.
The libel haying been read, and the aflitlavit of the defendant,
ackitowlialgtal the publication, mot stated that it had been
britaght to him late at night uti the second day of the election, and
set isp by him in haste, without his hating at all considered the
mature of it, or the consequences which might re-ult from its pobli-
cation. Sestet al publications much more gross had bon put instil
by Mr. ilorgovuelfr party, setlecting on his opponent. and about
tap of these were also printed off distributril, when the int-
priut Was destoy cc!, and no more were printed. 'Vile deliaillant
denied having any know ledlte of the author, though lie confessed
to know %vim
.the persOsi %vas %Al() handed the manuscript over to
; but he eoldil taut, consistent with hollow-, give up the nane
of that iientoo—soch a conduct lie considered would have retsilered
him infamous in society. lic had never received any promise of
intleumitv from any one, or ally peettniary aid, though fie had
Already teen put to to.penees by this prosectltion. The affi-
davit concluded by exprcs.ong the defendant's regret for what be
had done, and sitbMit ting himself to the mei cy of the comic An
allidavit to eltarsseter, si!40;e11 by several respectable person., was
1,,u put in, and Mr. Nolan, Ntr. Allo!plins, and Illr. Gurney, ad-
alret sed the cultist on the part of the defitolant.
Mr. Seijeant lit.st said, Mr. Burgoyne fell no animosity whatT.ver
towards the delentiaat ; ott the contrary, he was instiucled to ae-
kttowledge the exeellt tire ut the detesolaor• ocneral eouthiet ; but
Mr. Burgoyne load been tot eel to eente forward on thix occasion to
defend the public. Crain the i IYeets Of 59(11 Wills as that cow.
plained of. Repeated applications had been made to Mr. Krlliani
to give tip the name of the poison from whom he received the
libel in question ; he, t 00.% ever, lod always ielosed to comply with
that iegitest. if he wtodd note do it, hi. Olt. Seijeaut Best)
would undertake nut to press the court against him. If he refused 1
to do so, and still persisted in ibt•sChog tS a etield between
the offender and .public justice, he must take the cotsseitatee. it
was necessary, however, that the author of this anti similar solidi--
cations shon.ld l.e talsght, that they were not with isiounity to
slander said malign inch who mutt torward on these public ()yea
aions, and then endeavour to protr;l thi.lllSeitieS tinder the plea of
anch publications being 1.1 ci n .`"quids.
Mr. Justice Le Blanc then proceeded to pronounce the judg-
ment of the court; which w.ss, that the defend:tut sboild :w
im-
prisoned two mouths in Chelnistord Gaol, and then be dischargtd.
