OLD BAILEY, JUNE 4.

Zthnuad,birkeit and Robert Brady were indicted
for forging an indorsement on a bank post bill,
with intent to defraud Grant and Co. bankers, at
Plymouth..
This case Was one which was brought, to light
by the confession of Richardson and ,CoOlc, who,
us in the civic of Kennet at the last Sessions, Were
admitted evidence.

It Vras proved by the testimony of ,an accom-
plice, Richardson, that shortly after the robbery
of the mail, Brady told him he bud some of the
notes stolen from it, and gave him the biti in
question for 50/. which the witness took to I3ir-
kett at Chelsea, who forged an indorspnent
thereon : it was afterwards given to one Staunton,
who used it wieb some other money in the pur,
chase or foreign gold. These facts were confirm-
ed by other witnesses,-and the Jury, after retiring
for a few minutes, brought in a verdict of guilty
again,t both.
Richardson was the principal ‘vitness on this oc-
casion. lie stated himself to have been in con-
cert with the three prisoners in forging cheques
on the above Banking-house, and in one instance
they divided 3200/. among it them, hill, who
Wits a publican, gave cash for some cheques to
hay salesmen, and they were taken to Cook, who
imitated them. Brady and Badeoek went toge-
ther, and employed a porter to deliver the cheque
tit the Banking-houie, when the former attended
there to get change of country notes, and see the
monies paid.
The evidence of Richardson not being suffi-
ciently corroborated as to Hill, he was acquitted.
Brady vas again put to the bar, together with
Win. Budcock, for forging, canting to he forged,
and uttering a cheque for 500/. with intent to de-
fraud Robarts and Co. The same witness, Richard-
son, detailed the circumstances ; tad the Jury
brought in their Verdietof Guilty.
Mary Roberts Charles Games, Wm. Thompson,
Charles James Cooper`, Thomas Long, 11 illiam Slar.
ley, , Thoiiias Jones, James Kean, and Richard
Walker were convicted of. felony, for having in

COURT OF KING's I3ENCU, MAY 29.

KING V.FITiPATRICK.

On Friday la-A, the 2Sth, Mr. Fitzpatrick was
brought into the King's Bench to receiit the sen-
tence of the Court, when a very affecting affidavit
of his was read in mitigation of punishmerit.—The
Attorne.y-General answered, and in strong terms
animadverted upon the malignity, falsehood, and
traitorous tendency of the Libel ; declared, if the
author were given up, he would abandon all pro-
ceedings against the Printer, and that in that case,
it was not as for a Libel be would prosecute, but
probably for an offence of a deeper quality, be-
cause under some circumstances, seribere est agere.
—After some deliberation among the Judges, Mr.
Justice Day pronounced the judgment of the
Cowt as follows 4
Mr. fludit FITZPATRICK !—Yoq have been
found guilty upon an information exhibited against
you by the Attorney-General, of publishing, in a
pamphlet, intitled, " A Statement of the Penal
Laws which aggrieve the Catholics of Ireland," a
false, wicked, and seditions Libel, of and con-
cerning the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and his
Majesty's Ministers in Ireland, acting under his
Grace's authority. The Libel was read yester-
day from the Bench, with a strength. and lustre
of observation, which makes it altogether unne-
cessary, and indeed places it far beyond my ability
to add to its impression. lam persaaded that
every man of an unclonded and dispassionate
mind wi!l agree, that in -so narrow • a compass,
scarcely could a greater number of.pernicions and •
virulent ingredients have been mixed up and com-
pressed together—a 'composition, in which it is-
hard to say whether the malignity of the. writer,
the sweeping and , comprehensive mischief which
the writing tended to produce, or the odious or
„disgusting falsehood of the matter, predominate-.
The professed object of this Work (certainly a
most meritorious object) is, by a temperate state-
ment to enlighten the public mind. But will no-
thing less than general inflammation, nothing less
than the flames of civil commotion, enlighten the
public mind for this Libeller ? Is it by scattering
firebrands through Ireland---is it only be the con-
flagratitm of his country, that he hopes to light
us on our way to a discOvery of the wrongs and
sufferings of our Catholic fellow subjects ? For,
if the libel were as true as it is false, the ener-
getic language of the Attorney-General 'would
scarcely be extreme—" that insurrection would
be a sacred ditty, and rebellion imperative."—
What opinion must our uninformed fellow-sub-
jects of Great Britain.entcrtain of . the merits of
a cause, which seeks to advance itself by such a
glaring tissue of the greatest and most malignant
misrepresentation—a tissue of perverted truths,
of magnified and inflated trifles, and of notorious
and deliberate falsehoods ! And what • must be
thought of the advocate of this cause, so blinded
by the gloomy bigotry of his own mind, ,as to
.fancy, that it could be for his purpose to-insult
the public affection and gratitude by such clUmsy
and malevolent tabrications I—To tell the Irish
public that the Duke of Richmond (of whom, as
of a departed Viceroy, it may now be, said without
tear of imputation, that the ingenious and frank
-benignity of his nature had conciliated all sects
and conditions in the country): had become' so
sanguinary a monster, had so out-Heroded
so out-Neroed Nero, as to permit a man to be
hanged, whose -innocence had been previously
established, to his perfect knowledge—a'oi this
forsooth, because he was at Catholic Such is the
poisoned chalice which this libeller has presented
to our lips—such the nauseous draft, but. for-
tunately too nauseous even for vulgar credulity
to swallow.

With " The Statement," or Work at large, the
Court has nothing. to do, further than as the con-
text is necessary for illustration of this libellous
mite. But I would beg to ask,- whether the can-
'clour,•liherality, and truth of the whole Pamphlet
is to be judged of from this`precions specimen
If so, how eminently calculated is this Work to
advance its professed purpose ; 'how notably cal-
culated to heal division, conciliate party, and en-
lighten the public mind.

affidavit recalls the recollection of the
Court to your Trial; on which occasion your de-
fence, however ably conducted, in no .degree recom-
mended your case. 1-Upon your trial it appeared
that your " respectable Catholic Farmer in good
circumstances," Barry, had been convicted at•
Cloutnell of a Clcrgyable felOny before Baron
George, who transmitted him to Kilkenny, whirr
he. was trietfand found guilty of a highway rob-
bery committed in the • noon-day ; that it 'Will
proved by your own witness, Mr. Campbell; hat
Barry's religioo was not' known even to his QWII
conlidential CoUncil or Attorney, and was never
made by any one a subject of
.inquiry ; and Mr.
Campbell swore in. express terms that nothing
was ever imputed QC imputable tt), the Lord Lieu-
tenant or the • Attorney General throughout the
whide ,case-,--thus establishing, of your own.
spewing, that the writer Made' that, flagitious
charge with actual and full knowtedge of its tit-
ter falsehood. Now, Sir, though the truth of a
libel be no defence in a criminal proeeeding, its
falsehood constitutes a great aggravation of its cri.;
minality and guilt ; and thiS consideration neces,
sarily has (hie influence upon the minds of the
Court in apportioning your punishment. It was
in vain that your Counsel struggled to transfer the
application of the,: Libel; from the Duke'of Rich-
mond to the Noble and Learned Lord who tried
Barry, and who. stands too deeply intrenchecl in
general estimation to be affected by such an att-
daciOus ttspersion thus admitting the criminality
of the libel, and den. ing only the truth of its ap-
plication upon the Record. But the Jory: whose
province it was to decide that and every other
matter put in issue upon the information, had no
hesitation to apply the libel has indeed every man
in the world would) to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland.

•Thns, Sir, 'yon stand convicted of publishing
libel of the blackest complexion ; conveying an
atrocious insult upon the Representatives of the
King and the Head of the Executive Authority
in Ireland; .a libel holding, up our Viceroy to
