NIID.DLESEX SESSIONS—(TIs DAY.'

.)

PROSECUTIONS OF THE PRESS.
H. Hetherington appealed against two convictions obtained
against him at Bow-street, for publishing Newspapers without
:laving them stamped.
Mr. ALLEY appeared in support of the convictions, and
ddressed a very few words to the Court. The first ease gone
into was that for publishing a Paper called the Republicap, which
ippeared once a week; having proved by a witness that the
defendant sold him the work in question, the learned gentleman
thought it unnecessary to trouble the Court further at the pre.
sent stage of the proceedings.
Mr. ARNOLD in a long address contended that the Paper
in question did not properly. come under the denomination of a
periodical, as it was not ptib!khiid oh any set day, but appeared
on a difibrent day each week.
I he defendant then addressed the Court, character:sir-1r tke
prosecutions against him as an attempt to fetter the Press of the
country under a most odious and oppressive Act of Parliament.
—He also contended that in a common sense view of the case
no man could say that the Republican was a periodical, and
stated it to be his firm determination to continue its publication
at all hazards.
The Court confirmed the conviction of the Court below.
The next case brought forward by Mr. ALLEY was a comic.
ten against the same defendant for publishing another Paper,
called " A l'enny Paper for the Peopl, by the Guardian of the
Poor."

This also was proved to have been published and sold at his shop.
The Court in this case also confirmed the conviction.
