for the payment of this fine.
Another string of Resolutions, of a similar nature, hat of
greater length than the former, were afterwaids read.
A Mr. llcaley moved, that thin meeting be only a prelimi-
Katy step to a more nomermis and public assembly in Palace.

Wale way. This gentleman also took occasion, in very for-
a* language, to abase these " abominable prints" The Times,

grated chamber. In the evening be expressed his surprise
that be was thus kept a elope prisoner, and was answered, that

bat it.seeeas did not succeed, but was 110001 after laftwened,
that the Marshal had made up Isis mind, and that at eleven

Defendant are not the pi eduction of his Lordship, only so far
as they may contain plagiarisms. An a?plication for an BP

nour was of opinion, as the Noble Plaintiff was not in the'

fentlant, to give him an opportunity of proving the assertions
of his advertisement. He would not take up the further thee
of the Court, but wait to hear what would he advanced by his
Learned Friends on the other side. •
Mr. Shadwell followed ou the same side, and said, it was
not the wish of his Noble Client that the Defendant should be
restrained from publishing his rhymes ; all he wished was,
that he should be prohibited from selling theta as his, the
. Plaintiff's poetry, for it was neither grammar nor poetry that
he was vending. lie would read a passage, which he sup-
