TIIE QUEEN V. POLIILL, H.P. AND ANOTHER.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL prayed the judgment of the Court upon
the defendants in this case. It appeared that in consequence of some"
proceedings adopted by a Sub-Committee of the proprietors of Drury-
lane Theatre, of which Captain Polhill was the lessee, the de-
fendant sent his friend, Captain Onslow, of the Fusileer Guards, to de'
mand an apology, or the usual satisfaction, for the uncotirteous treat._
ment lie had received. A rule for a criminal information was obtained,
and subsequently made absolute, the defendant having suffered judgmenC
to go by default.
A great number of affidavits in aggravation and mitigation having
been put in and read by the officer of the Court,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then addressed the Court on behalf
of the
prosecution, and observed that the present appeared to him to be a Yell, serious case. There were no circumstances of aggravation connects
with the conduct of Captain Onslow, but he regretted that he bad net
given his friend Captain Polhill better advice, than to convey a circular
challenge to four different gentlemen. There were, however, no cf,',
curastances of mitigation in the conduct of the defendant, CaPta
Polhill. He was the lessee of the theatre, and became

which the defendsn'
solicitor requested, was refused by the Committee, and Captain
Polhill
conceiving that to be a personal insult, sent a letter to each of the

After proceedings had been taken, an apology was sent privately by th
defendant to each of the prosecutors.
Sir W. FOLLETT, for the defendant, observed that apology had been
acknowledged by Captain Polhill.
Lord DEIVMAN thought the Court must look upon that apology a'
public act of the defendant.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said all the prosecutors required was t° be
protected from similar attacks.
Lord DENAIAN said it was always understood, in any arrangenent
come to at the suggestion of the Court, that a repetition of such conduct
was not to be permitted.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf of the prosecutors, exPre"ea
himself satisfied, and thus the matter terminated.
