MONDAY, JULY 9

The "Constitutional Association" has been
brought forward in two (Efferent shapes—first by
Mr. llobhouse, on presenting a petition from Mr.
Benbow, and secondly by Mr. S. Whitbread, on a
motion for an address to his Majesty, praying him
to direct the Aitorncy-General to enter a nou pro-
sera in each instance of indictment preferred by the
gang. The infamy of their proceedings continues
to develope itself every day, and we are convinced
that every honest man who is one step shove an
idiot, will instantly insist upon the erasure of his
name from a list of subscribers to an Association,
the theory of which might have induced him to be-
long to it, but of whose practice too much cannot be
said in reprobation. The Let we believe to be, that
a man equally bankrupt in purse and character con-
spired with an equal in infamy to found the Society,
and by specious representations seduced many really
honest men to become members—for having become
the dopes of design they may be pitied—by with-
drawing their names, instantly they may avoid the
eternal obloquy that must otherwise attach to them.
—We rarely praise the Members of Government fur
the strongest possible reason, that they rarely merit
it, but we must not withhold our high approbation
of the .condoet of the Attorney-Generul, who de-
e:tired he would inquire into these cases, and where
hardship appeared he would direct a dischlrge, on
buil being given for their appearance only.
The following (Geo. 111. 60. cap 6, sec. 16.) is
the clause upon which bail fur good beltuvi ur has
been demand..d

Humour., scs!itiotio, or malicious libel, shall he brought for

QUEEN ELIZABETII.—On the 13th of January,
1559, Queen Elizabeth was crowned with the most
brilliant potup by Oglithorpc, Bishop of Carlisle,
After the ceremony of coronation site gave liberty
to all prisoners without distinction. At the moment
several persons just liberated came to return thanks
to the Queen, when Sir F. Bacon approached her
Majesty, and said, " your Majesty is pleased to ex-
tend your royal mercy to some and not to others."—
The Queen answered, she had given orders to re-
lease all prisoners without except' " There are
still, however, (said Sir F. Bacon) four prisoners
who have been closely confined from the beginn:ng of
Mary's reign to this day."—" Who are they ?"
replied Elizabeth : give me their names, and they
shall be set at liberty." " Madame, added Bacon,
" The first is Matthew, the second Mark, the third
Luke, and the f turth John, and your people im-
patiently expect yaur Majesty will give them free-
dom." The Queen smiling, said, " I will micas*
them, with the blessing of' God, and I hope to con-
verse with them, and receive instructions from their
own mouths wiih regard to all I ought to do in
their favour." The coronation has anciently be-•
longed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, it being.'
formerly resolved, that when swver the Court was
the King and Queen were, the domestic parishioners
of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It also belonged•
to him in l'ormer times to take to himself' the offer—
ings made at the hdy altar by the King and Queen.:
Time Court of Assize of Paris finished on Monday
the trial respecting the sinking of a vessel called La
Louise. The two officers, Jugghe and Leterrier,
and the seaman, Yvelin, were acquitted. The
Sieurs Hamlin and Dicudonne have been condemn-
ed, fin• a simple fraud, cacti to live years imprison-
ment, a fine of 500 francs, five years interdiction
from civil rights, to restore to the prosecutors the
amount oC the premiums on their insurance, stipu-
lated in the policy ; reserving, besides, to time pro-
secutors all rights to actions for the recovery of the
surplus of these claims. _ _

At a certain time the King waved his band, when

coronets on their heads. The person outside at the

when instantly the bells of the diGrent chorines
tang a peal, and a royal salute was tired by the Park
and Tower guns. Salvos of ordnance also, on the
forthcoming Coronation, will be fired at Woolwich,
and telegraphic despatches will communiCate with

WILDNEIIDAY. JULY 4.
NOMINATION OW SPECIAL JURORS.
THE KING P. DOLBY.

Mr. Scarhit applied to rite court in this case for a role
to spew cause why the nomination of forty-eight special
_limns (or tile trial of this itodichnent should no; be set
~,:de, and why the Sheriff should aot return all the pro-
(Tel:tugs 1u making the same nomination into court.—
Tne learned counsel moved this upon an affidavit of
facts, and the presumption that persons were nominated
who could nut sit ion the said jury. He applied on
beholfof the Sheriff; and his object was to get the
ornion of the court on the validity of the proceeding.—
motion was founded on the 3 I of Geo. 11. cap. 26,
which provides, for the purpose of prevetitiog abuses in
summoning juries, that no person shall he returned by
tile Sheriff or SUMIIIOIIIII64-Onicer to wise as poor, who
has previously served within the space of one year in the
comity of Middlesex, four years in Yorkshire, and two
years to other counties. rile Sheriff returning such
person is liable to 3 pcna'ty of SI. The 4il of Gm 11.
cap. 7, on which Mr. Scarlett chitfly relied, also pro-
vi.!es that no person shall be returned to serve as juror
on any issue who has been returned within the space of
tst 0 terms preceding. The Sheriff was prohibited from
retorning any person to serve as juryman who had Leen
returned within the two preceding terms in Middlesex ;
and if he could spew the court that any of the jury
nominated bad been returned comrary to the spirit of
the above acts of paliament, the whole nonmiation
wonl,: be void.

Justice Hayley.—One of the acts provides that
Ilse Sherd shall not ri.turn more 'kin' 48, nor less
than f:7, and dues not that relate to jurors in the com-
mon pout I ?
111 r. Scarlett admitted that some doubt was entertained
whether the provisions of the act applied to special juries.
He had consulted the master of the crown office, and
that officer did not consider the objection applicable to
special juries, he therefore only asked for a rule to shew
cause.

Mr. Justice Baylcy.-11 the acts applied to special
juries, one of the consequences would hc, that in York-
shire you would not have the same man on two juries in
less than four years; but how soon would you exhaust
the juries in London.

ether there any provision which says the
S:ierilf shall distinguish in the list of freeliolden, those
who have served within the last two ytars.
?dr. Scarlett read the acts, but found nothing to con-
vince the court that the nomination made in this case
w• s contrary to law, and consequently they refused the
rule, and Mr. Scarlett took nothing by his motion.
The court proceeded during nearly the whole of the
t!ay with new trials, none of which afforded any parti-
cular interest.

THHKIDAT. JOLT b.
THS DUCHIII OF CUMISSRLAND.

Mr. Scarlett said, he had to make an application to
the court of rather an extraordinary son. It proceeded
front a lady of high rank, who claimed to be the legiti-
mate daughter of the late Duke of Cumberland, the
brother of Ins late Majesty George 111. The application
he should make was, that the lady Olivia Wilmot Scares,
claiming to be Duchess of Cumberland. may be dis-
charged irom special bail, and exoneration be returned
ou bail bond. The lady was entitled to privilege as a
member of the Royal Family, which especially prutecied
her against arrest in civil causes.

Mr. Justice Bayley then abiied if the person was in
custody.
Mr. Scarlett said she was not, bail having been
presided.
:11r. Justice Bayley said, a person could not be dis-
charged on a claim of privil‘ge, unless the party Came
before hail was ;Writ CLCII ; amid Mr. Scarlett in this in.
stance was too late.

The application was refused. The court heard argil-
nunts lot new trials.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,
THURSDAY, Jutir 5.

JONES •ND BROTHICir V. ALLEN.

This Was an action for brcacit of contract.

Sergeant 'Faddy stated the case. Ile said the plain.
Olt were extensive provision merchants; the defendant
%els a cheesenionger, and had purchased from the plain-
iitis a considetable quantity of bacon, hat ins; first in-
spected the quality ; but, after he had the contract II
days in his laassession, he thought proper to return it,
and to refuse taking the bacon lie had Furchased; and
to recover its amount the present action was brought.—
A clerk of the plrintitis !brined that he attended Olt the
btli of March with the defendant's son, to take the
average weight of tine het:oil—that ihe rst lot of 200
les was averaged without any Iti jeCllOll ; but as soon
as they commenced averaging the second lot, the defeat-
drtit's son said it was tainted, and refused to proceed.—
'flit value of the bacon was linnet' to be 24041.95.;
n is .11.0 proved that it still lay at the wharf.
Sagertat Vaughan st.aed the defence, and contended
that the contract was nut binding. inasmuch as it it hail
