COURT OF KINC's*BENCIf, Fta. 3.

TIIE KING V. GOI.DBURN, ESA,.

THE Defendant was brought into Court to. re-
ceive judgment for a Libel-, in ,a satirical Poem call-
ed ." The 13lueviad," in which the Officers of-the
'Regiment of Blues (in which the Defendant was a
Cornet) were severely ridiculed,,and fur which he
was convitled upon three indpments.
Affidavits were read in the Defendant's behalf,—
.
his own among them stated a variety of eireum-,
stances ' the leading ones, were, that at the age of
16 he had a Curnetcy purchased for him, and he
joined this Regiment ; that while he was at Can-
terbury he improvidently contra&ed debts with his
ISrOther Officers, and also several Tradesmen, which
he was unable to pay ; that his.elder brother, a man
offortune,.ioined him in becoming responsible for
theSe debts, the Defendant himself having his affiiirs
iu Chancery, and the accumulation of his fortune
during his minority not being yet relieved ; that in
this situation he had some reason to apprehend that
someOf the Officers of theßeginaerit„and particularly
the Colonel, had given him some cause for complaint,
taking notice of the levity of. his youth, and saying
he would come to .the gallows, which was language
he did not think becoming for. a Gentleman to use,
nog fit for him to endure, having the honour to be,
as lie was, allied to noble families ; that under these
impressions. he composed, when under the age of
17, some of these. Poems, -and read . theta •at the
mess, where they were approved of, and the ap-,.
plause which they met flattered him too much ;
and that, together with the irritation into which his ,
temper was ihroWn, were the principal causes of ,
his having published these Poems in a book., after
he had quitted the Regiment, which he did,in con- •
sequence of these differences. Flsc was sensible of
the impropriety of the publication, And was' ex-
tremelysorry for it.
Soliaitor had offered to make an apology to
the Prosecutors.
./
Serjeant BEST - addressed the Court for the
Defendant; and Mr'. ERs for tl4Prosecetion.
Ths Defendant was committed to the Prison of, the
Court, and to'be brought up 'for judgment on Mon- •
day nest.

THE KING V. FLINT.

This was an application on behalf of Co].. Thorn'
ton, for leave to file a criminal information agnink
Mr. Flint, for challenging .him to. fight a dtiel,, and
whipping- him, on the race-ground atrYork, 'last
summer,. &c.

The quarrel arose out of a bet of 1006;gnine.,:,
which Mr.. Flint claims . to have won -of COlonol
Thornton by, the race he rode against
-Mrs.
Thort-i-
-ton, whose. bets: her husband. adoPtel 'Whereas
Colonel Thornton maintains, that the bet of 1000
guineas was a mcqe nominal thing to attra& (oM-
pal:ly to the rate; and that nothing of this sort was
seriously intended by. the:parties. •
After a fllll.hmring of the whole, case, the- Cot
was clearly of opinion, that the inteichano of inci-
vilifies between these parties, and their condUCtido
wards each, other, were Such as to forfeit the daub of
either :to this extraordinary interposition of -the

Cotirt ; they were therefore left to their remedy by
indidment.--Rule discharged. •
