We have just seen a specimen of the litho-
graphic art, showing in what way, and with what extreme
facility it may be applied to almost every branch of en-
graving. The specimen is ingenious and creditable to the
abilities of its artist.

For some days past there has been consider.
able discussion respecting the price at which beer should
he sold, with reference to the sum intended to he charged
per barrel by the brewers in pursuance of their circular.
Several Licensed Victuallers have notified that they will
sell their porter, some at a fair remunerating price, and
others lower, so as not to leave any profit to the retaliation.
When there is so great a diversity of opinion among the
trede, it would be desirable that the Licensed Victuallers
should hare a public meeting and agree on the price that
really should be charged for the article, allowing themselves
,a fair profit on the good and wholesome beer which they

OLD BAILEY.-(TIIIS DAY.)
CAPTAIN 1-IEI.BIIA MN CASE.

This being the day appointed for Dialling the Corn.
mission to try Captain lielsbam, who is charged with the wilful
murder of Lieutenant Crowther in a duel in France, the Com t
was opened at half-pas. nine o'clock.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Justice Bayley, Mr. Justice Mean-
quet, and the Recorder took their scant. On the bench were
also the Lord Mayor, Aldermen Sir James Sh vw, Sir Peter
Laurie, Farebrother, Winchester, Copeland, and Atkins. The
witnesses for the prosecution had previously assembled in a
room that was prepared for them.
The Commission having been read, the names of the gentle.
Men summoned on the Gram! Jury acre called over. One gen.
tleman named Simpson, claimed an exemption.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY—On what grounds, Sir Y Simpson—l be.
Icing to the Honourable Artillery Company, and our charter ex..
empty all members of that corps from serving on Juries, and
from the liability to fill certain offices.
Mr. Justice HAVEUV—slave you the charter in Court, Sir ?
Mr. Simpson—No, I have not, my Lord ; but the terms of it
are well 'known, and have been acted upon.*
Mr. Justice liavtxv—Untess the charter is produced the
Court can take no legal notice of it.
Mr. Simpson—lt is enrolled in the Court of Chancery.
Mr. Justice Ilavi.ur —That does not signify. The charter
must be produced, or the Court cannot act upon it.
The Commission having been read by the Clerk of the Ar.
raiens' and the necessary number of gentlemen sworn on the
Grand Jury,
Mr. Justice BATLEY addressed them to the following eftbet :
.1 Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, you are assembled here to-day
by virtue of a Commission issued by his Majesty, under a late
Act of Parliament, not for the trial of any crime committed in
this country, but for one alleged to have been committed in
France. You are averiffiled, not at the ordinary time of hold.
ing the Sessions, but in consequence of is Commission under the
Great Seal. An Act was passed In the ninth year of his late Ma.
jesty's reign, which enacted that, 'f any of his Majesty's subjects
should be charged, in England, with the murder or manslaughter
of a fellow-subject abroad, that it should be lawffil, although the
murder or manslaughter was committed In a throgn country, to
try the individual so charged in England. The bill which will
now be brought before you is one for you to Inquire and deter-
mine whether the °Ohne° charged amounts to one of murder or
manslaughter .against the person named in the indictment. Your
first inquiry will be whether or not the parties are subjects of this
realm, as no others but his Majesty's subjects can be atlicted by
the ct of Parliament to which 1 have alluded. It clothes them
(VI may use such an expression) with particular security, al..
though out of the limits of the country. It will be necessary to
have the evidence of some one who knew the deceased, that ho
had, at some time or other, domiciled in this country ; and if
you are satisfied on its points, your next inquiry will be to satiny
your minds whether the offence is one of murder or man.-
slaughter. Upon referring to the depositions, there can be no
doubt a duel has been fought, and therefore, in point of law, If
parties deliberately meet, armed with deadly weapons, calculated
to put the lifh of each other In jeopardy(forlie man bas a right
to take away the Mb of another or his own), and if death is the
result of such meeting. there can be no doubt that the otßnee isa
one of murder; and if you are not satisfied such was the ewe in
the present instance, it will be your bounden duty' to find a true
bill. If parties suddenly quarrel, and ensue are At hand, if there
is no premeditation in the persons seeking for an Instrument.
then, in such a case, the law makes an allowance for the infir
mities of bunion nature, and, irdenth ensues, the oftbnce is only
B
one of manslaughter. But If parties quarrel, and they atter.
wards premeditately, and alter time for reflection, meet anal on
each others life in danger, then it is clearly murder. It will !waist)
necessary in this cake to prove that the deceased's mono Is pro.
perly set forth in the indictment ; but on this %with, perhaps,
there will be little dltHculty, as some of the relations, no doubt,
saw the body atter death. Yotr‘ought also to be atisfied that
the deceased fell by the hands of the person accused, or some
one aiding or abetting; for this Commission does not online
itself to the principals, but extends also to the seeonds, And
have no doubt that if the case is one of murder, every person
that was present is equally guilty, and a bill might to be re.
turned against them. file swan& on both sides, and all others;
are in law equally guilty of murder, lion they met there for the
purpose of furthering the common design or putting the life of
some one in danger. It will be right for you to put the wit.
maws on their guard, for,aa I have already stated, every person
present was liable to the charge, and therefore they arts not own-
pellable to give evidence that may criminate themselves. On
the trial berate a common Jury it is the dusty of a Judge to give
such a caution, and I think it will be well for you to observ:),
the same course. They are at liberty to state all, but they can—
not be compelled. lam not aware that It Is necessary t'ur
make any further observations; if in the discharge of your duty
ou tied any difficulty, the Court will be happy to give you any
•
information.
The Grand Jury then retired, after an absence of some time
they returned into Court, when the Foreman said that it was
their opinion that a great inconsistency presentoxl itself on the
face of the indictment. It charged the murder to have been
committed at Boulogne, in the kingdom of France To wit,
ha the parish of St. Marysle.Bow, Bread-street Ward, in the city
of London, in the county of Middlesex." It therefore appeared
to them that the ()Once was charged to have been committed
in two places, and under such tarcumstanuea could not HMI a
true bill.
Mr.' Justice Baiter said, the objections of the Jury wore •
merely to the technicalities of legal proocaxibes, with which
they had nothing to do. They had no relation to the subject
matter under inquiry.
A Juror—Hut, my Lord, as merchants of the city of London,
and not knioving any thing of the technicalities of the late, bit
acting on Vie principles of plain common sense, how can we re.'
concise such an absurdity—such an inconsistency V
Mr. Justice Raney—You may strike out the objectionable
words if you think proper.

The Jury atter some. A-nther observations again withdrew.
The Jury again returned into Court at a quarter past One
o'clock.

Air. Justice Rams' saki that he had been consulting with Ms
Learned Brothers, and they were of opinion with hint that It was
necessary to insert a count In the indictment, setting forth that
the deceased was a British subject.
A Juror—We are quite satisfied on that point, my Lord.
Mr. Justice ilaytxv—So you may be, Gentlemen ; but before
you make your presentment, It will be necessary to have the in.
dictment amended. it is required by the Act of Parliament to
set With that the deceased was a British subject,
The indictment was amended, and the Foreman of the Jury
then said—" We find a true bill against Captain ilelsliam for
the wilful murder of Lieut. Crowther."

Captain Ilelsham was then pliu;lat the Bar, and the Indict+
meta read over—he pleaded Not Guilty.
The Cutcat indbrined the prisoner that his tri►l would he
proceeded with at ten o'clock to.morrow morning.
Mr. Y►ut.r.reA was Colima! kir the prosectillo , and Mr. AtAte
and Mr. Donau for the defence.
