Before Mr. Justice Fox, and the Honourable Baron

M'CLELLA ND.

JOHN POLLOCK, El Q. TREVOR CORRY, ESQ. AND
• . OTHERS,.?. DENNIS CAVIFIRLD, ESQ. '

This was a '.cause ofa very novel and interesting
nature ; novel on account of an action for-defama-
tion and contempt of the Magistracy being tried
before a Criminal Court ; and interesting, as involv-
ing a question materially. atfe&iiig the liberty of the
subjed ;. namely, can, a man be twice punished for
one and the same offence ?

The indiatnent consisted of six counts, in sub-
stance, stating, that at a General Quarter Sessions;
held in the -town of Newry, the said Defendant
did, with a loud 'voice; and riotous demeanour,
utter certain defamatory words, respeeting Trevor
Corry, Esq. then sitting on the Bench, and , in the
discharge of his duty as a Magistrate, to the evi-
dent breach of his Majesty's. peace, and contempt
of the authority of the Bench ; and for which con-
dud, John Pollock, Esq. and the rest of the Bench,
did commit this Defendant to the Dock, for the
space of four hours:, - This indi&ment was brought
on- the grounds that 'the punishment was not suf-
ficient.. The Milan was tried- at the last Assizes in
Downpatrick, before , the Han. Baron' SMITH, who
dedined deciding it; but referred the parties to the.
Court „of King's Bench. The Hon.- and Learned
Judge, who presided on Friday, also recommended
the same measures. He first heard the pleadings
in point of law -(on which cases were cited that
happened in the reign of Charles I.).
After a hearing of upwards of four hours, the
Judge aver-ruled the demurrers pleaded for by the
Plaintiffs ; a most respeetable Jury -was impannelled
for a trial of, the faCts, and a variety of evidence
adduced on bbth sides; after a Most patient inves-
tigation, about one o'clock in the morning, the
Jury retired, and in about • half an hour
.returned
a verdict of Acquittal on all the counts of the
diament. . -

l'he Jury bronght in their +►•erdiii Gd.
being the exact half of the amount sought.
