MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

PRINCE PAUL ESTERHAZY.

Yesterday Mr. BOLLARD appeared on behalf of the King in
the case of 'Prince Paul- Esterhazy, Ambassador Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary from the Court of Vienna, against
VITE MARIE DE BETTERA, praying the Court to detain the
prisoner in custody until the ensuing Sessions. The Learned
Counsel said he held in his hand four affidavits ; the first was
that of Sir Richard .Birnie (made on the Bench), stating that
on the 12th ult. Mrs. Percy, the wife of Mr. Humphrey Percy,
of Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, appeared before him at
Bow-street, and swore an affidavit.
Mrs. Perey'S affidavit stated that a few days ago she heard
Mons. Vite Marie de Betters, who lodged in her house, coin...
plained much of the ill-treatment he had received from his
Excellency the Prince Paul Esterhazy, in not paying him - his
just demands, and that if he were not settled with, he would ,
take his pistols, and first blow out the Prince's brains, and
afterwards destroy himself. These threats the trisoner ex.
pressed in such passionate language, and with many oaths,
-that the deponent verily believed the Prince Esterhazy a life to
be in danger from him.
The third affidavit was that of Mr. Wright, a medical. Gen.
tleman, made yesterday, stating the indisposition of 'Mrs.
Percy, and from her being now in the last stage of pregnancy,
it would endanger her life to come into Court to give evidence
against the prisoner.
The 'last affidavit read by the Learned Counsel was that of
Prince Paul Esterhazy, which, in substance, stated, that from
the violent manner of the prisoner, his, constantly annoying
him, and from the statement of Mrs. Percy, he verily believed
his life to be in danger.
Mr. Anox.eitts asked the date of the Prince's affidavit?
Mr. BOEtARD answered, the 7th of March last.
Yes, said Mr. ADOLPHUS, and upon that affidavit my client
was taken into custody, and bound over to keep the peace to-
wards the Prince, himself in 400/., and two sureties in 20h1.
each; and although 'the' Prince received no annoyance from
M. De Betters from that time, my Learned Friend conies for.
ward and modestly claims the detention of this gentleman for
upwards of two months. As to the affidavit of Mrs. Percy, it
appeared to amount to nothing, for how could she under-
stand the blustering of his client in German. The. affidavit of
Mr. Wright, the surgeon, was worse than nothin . In the
whole course of his practice he never read or hen of such a
request being put forward upon such. affidavits. T e Learned
i
Gentlemanln strong language asked why the Prince Esterhazy
had allowed a whole Term to expire without applying to the
Court of King's Bench ? Surely Mrs. Percy was not, so ill but
she might during the last Term have gone to the Court above,
and made the necessary affidavit. But that would not answer
the purpose intended by the prosecutor of his client.
, Mr. ISOLLAND was about to account for articles of the peace
not being exhibited against Monsieur de Bettera, but he was
intertupted by--
Mr: ADOLPHUS, who requested the production of the com-
mitment.

The CHAIRMAN. (Mr. 'Bevil') said that from the whole of
the case, as stated by Mr. Boltand, no satisfactory answer was
given to the prisoner's Counsel for articles of the peace not
having been exhibited during last Term; and certainly upon
the affidavits exhibited, the Bench would not be borne out in
detaining the prisoner in jail till the next Session.
Mr. laor.t.mrii did not require that Monsieur de Bettera
should remain inprison for two months, but that he should give
new, Securities Upon his commitment of the 20th May.
Mr. ADOLPHUS took a general view of the whole case,
arguing from. the Latta and Constitution of England, that
nothing shell of oppression Somewhere could have kept the
prisoner in gaol from the 20th May until the present time, when
he had clearly sheWn that on the 7th March he entered into
sureties towards the Prince Esterhazy, and that not even the,
shadow of proof was offered of committing in any *ay a breach
of his recognizances. The prisOner was committed till the'.
'Sessions. Here he now was ready to take his trial : why did
not his• firosecutor conic forward like a brave Man and pro**
cute ? Did Prince Estethaiy suppose that England was filled
with Bastiles, as other countries which might be mentioned/
He would tell that Prince, that he nor alr the Princes upon
earth—no; not our Lord the King, could keep his client any
longer immured in a prison. The Learned Gentleman eon-
• chided by requesting the immediate dischafge of M. de Betters.
Mr..lllaule, of the Treasury, who sat on the Bench, inquired
the practice in such cases ?--lie was answered, that it depended
on the Bench whether he would be discharged now or at the end
of the Sessions.
The CHAIAMAN said he would, as a matter of course, be
disckarged at the conclusion of thp Sessions.
Mr. A DOLPIIV s remarked, that if his client had been a corn!•
mon individual, he would have been forthwith discharged.
The prisoner was then removed from the Court in the custodr
of the tornkeyS.
