THE KING V. WILLIAM JAMESON.

The Deti ndanf. in this case was brought Up for
judgment; being Convieled of publishing a libel on
Mr.•Yarbotough,:ot Heslington, near the City of.
York ;- thpartictilars vve,..re*inentionedin our l'aper
"Of Monday last. •,*
Mr. JusticE Gaost, in pronothicing thesentence
of the Court, observed upon* the charge which the,
Defendant had-made a.,!-,.ainst.the.Prosecutor, That.
he meant to take away his life, or doihim some bo-
dily harm." This the*Learned Judge considered as
a most Mischievous aef,..likely to be amende.d„witli
the niogi'dangeMs consequences; it was, in truth,
imputing to the : Prosecutor, the' black malice of
an assassin.' Wicked- as this attempt had been,
he confesged it as false,, and yet.'caused it to
he published, in Order to make the world believe it
was true.. He not Only published it in The York
Herald, butalso in hand-bills. There were two ag-
gravations of offence in this case. first, the pro-
fession' of the DefiNidant ; and ne*t,„ the malice be
so long brooded against, the Prosecutor. He must,
or at least ought to haVe known, that if the charges
he made against
.Prosecutor-were true, it was
an indictable offence, and in that way- only he
ought to have satisfied his revenge. The other
aggravation was plainly to be colieeted• from the
athdavits. In- the inonzii of September, the De-
fendant had told a Gent,leFian, that he would plague
'Mr. Ya..-borough, until he obliged him to leave
-the town; undid; OCtober he told another person,
that he :Would' purchase a Whip,. with a wire thong,
on purpose to fiOg the -Prosecutor. It would- have
been well for him it he- had reeolleC• ed,. that those
*Who invent torture frequently' become the victims
of their own invention. In mitigation, it was said,
that' these libels'. were the. effett ,of• momentary.
irritation; but the Learned Judge asked, how
could that irritation .be created by facts. and cir-
cumstances 'which he knew -to- be false But he
• had chosen to do that which' neighbours- on good
terms • would disdain to think or. The Court,
therefore, in order to give him an-opportunity of
relieding upon Ihe impropriety of his condriCt, and
to proteCt the • Proseeutor from further insult, or-
dered and adjudged, that he should pay a fine I 001,
that he should be Comiiiitted to the custody of the.
Marshal of the; Marshalsea for three calender
months, afid, at OA expiration of-that period, find
• security for,his gOod behaviour, himself. in 5001.
and, two sureties; in i oul. each, and be further
imprisoned until, spch tine be paid, and such security
entered into.

As Drury-lane Theatre has had such a lamentable

the . Manuscript. Play': left- by Mr. Tom, though

Farce of The Review. The Widow Cheerlu was
performed by Mrs. JOHNSTON, formerly of Covent-
Garden Theatre. In the latter piece Miss BENSON,
daughter of the late Mr. BeN;;orr, of Drury-lane.,
Theatre, made her first appearance, and was very
well receiked.- The Comic Hero of the Edinburgh
Theatre is DWYER. The a&ing management is ea,-

.of the proprietors, and-
a
great favourite with the public.
Three foxes., have been talcen in the neighbour-

last, in his cow-house, ,-a fox entered, driving a hen
before her ; and just as Rep:ord. was about to de4,

struggle, took her alive. And on the Monday.
night following two other foxes followed some
geese into a barn at Sciprigg, when, by some means, •
the door had closed, and entrapped the . plunderers,
who were next morning secured, and are now in the
custody of Mr. Rumney, who intends to turn than
off before the hounds on Iroadfield, in the course of
a-few days.

ry-boat at Boston Granary, near. Alemouth, in which
there were three men and a boy, nine years old,

strong, the boat swamped, and two .of the ,passen-

musket in the other, and was carried down the
river with the .boat for a considerable distance, when

was carried down the stream until he came to the
Gut; when he was driven upon the South shore by'a
