TWELFTH OF being'the anniver-
.sary of the battle of Aughrim, the morning was
ushered in by a merry peal from the joy bells, which continued at intervals throughout the day.
—The guns were fired, and the Royal standard
hoisted upon Bedford Tower, according to an,
chart Custont. College-green is quiet ; scarcely
a gazer on the statue. It was stated in our
paper of Friday, that the Orangemen of Armagh
had determined on parading as usual on the 12th
(this day.) We have since been informed by a
gentleman well informed upon the subject, that
the reverse is the fast.--(Dublin Journal.)
FATAL COIIIIIA.T.—On Thursday evening, at
SP veil o'clock, the InqUeitou the body of Thomas
Smith, the Kentish.town stage-coachman, who
was killed in a pitched battle with Henry Bostic,
was resumed at the Half-moon tavern, Lower-
street, Islington. After hearing the evidence,
the Jury retired at about ten o'clock to consult
as to their verdict, and ats near one o'clock
,yes-
terday morning, they, after a very minute deli-
beration, (during which period they_had the CP"
rover to consult upon legtrl points), returned a
verdict of" Manslaughter against lienry 13931iC,
,Jamea; Donovan, ItiCha rd F ord,
and another person unknown." T•he Coroner
issued Itis warrants for the apprehension of the
pitities. We ire informed that Bostic is at pre-
sertilli the hospital In a very dreadful condition,
in consequence of the severe beating he received
from the deceased.

COURT OF. CHANCERY, JULY 16.
IN THE MATTER OF sin GREGORY' PAGE TURNER.
Mr. PitiLLlalOttE applied for an early day to be'appointed
to have it discussed, whether the traverse in this case should
really go, and that without further delay, or whether the order
giving identity to traverse should be discharged altogether.
His bgatnlitt.—Dr. Sutherland has delivered to me his
judgment in writing, anti stated, that from observations made
by him on different lays, when he has been with Sir Gregory
Page Turner, he is confident that Sir Gregory is decidedly of
an unsound mind ; and he delivered that paper to me by ex-
pressing that he had nelfer known a person more fit to be the
subject of a commission bf lunacy.
Ir. PrtiLLIHORE—Then, my Lord, the simple application
I make is, that your Lordship's order may be drawn up or
discharged altogether.
Mr. Suonerr—l should like my clients to have notice of
such an application.
His LonDsim—Then let your clients, Mr. Phillimare,
give notice to the other aide, that you will make the application
on Monday morning. I should likewise mention just now, that
I receive from day to day appliemio,ns from different persons
*4 are snpplying Sir Gregory and. his Alen& with consider-
able sums for living, with a view to knOW' they are to be'
re-paid. Now,. I think I had better state, by way of prevent.
ing any such future applications, that those who give them or-
ders to make such supplies, must int), them.
Mr. Pin lAA MORE—Then do I understand your Lordship
that you will hear this in your Lordship's private room on
Monday morning ?
his Leaven ir —I will hear it any where—l don't care
where.

Mr. SuallEx—Vrhy should it be heard in the
.private room?
There is no secret about it ; all the world knows it.
Mr. Pit; t.L.I3IOItE—T wily wished to know how it was to be.
His LolunnirP—l shall leave that to the parties themselves
t 6 decide.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 16.
JOHN lIULI. NEWSPAPER.
AIACAUT. IY v. SIiACKELL.
Mr. PARK, before the Jury Wl3 sworn in the cause which
stood for trial, made an application in this cause to put off the
trial until the proceedings in the Court of Chancery should be
carried to a termination. The defendants had pleaded a justi-
fication, and applied to the Court of Chancery for a Commis.
sion to examine witnesses abroad. The application was'rcfus-
ed, because the Lord Chancellor thought that two bills were-
necessary for two Commissions, in the widely distant places
where the examinations were to take place. Ills motion now
was, therefore, to put off the trial till this Commission should.
be granted and carried into effect: • •
Mr. SCARLETT said he certainly meant to oppose the mo-
tion totis viribus, as Unprecedented, unjustifiable, and danger-
ous. He knew well that the defendants never meant to come
to trial. It was the first time he ever heard of an -application
to a Court of Law to lend itself to the defendants in a Court of
Equity.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE wished thc application to be made
to the. Lord Chief Justice. . •
It was found that the Lord Chief Justice would not take it
out of this Court ; that the cause, it' not postponed, would come
on . to-morrow ; and that Mr. Al ttorneyAleneral and Mr.
Brougham, who yt:re engaged in it, were to be engaged soon
after ten, before the Privy Council.
After some observations on both sides, it was agreed to men-
tion the subject at the end of the first cause.

MENDICI'IIY SOCIETY.
BODKIN v. CARDEX AND OTittiti.
Mr. TYNDALL opened the declaration in this case. It was
an action. boat& by the plaintiff to recover compensation in
damages for:e•fellie and Malicioui libel, published in The
Times newspapers.. affecting his character. The defendants
pleaded the general- issue:
The ATTOItSKY-GENtitAL stated the cue to the Jury.
This was an action brought Lty a most respectable Gentleman,
Mr. Bodkin, who had filled the office, first, of Honorary Secre-
tary, and subsequently, of Assistant Manager, to a most
laudable and useful Charitable Institution, called the :Ilea-
sticky Society. • Mr. Bodkin now appeared beforee Jury of his
country ro seek reparation for the injury which his character
had sustained, anti which be had hitherto «ought in vain. The
vast circulation of that paper rendered an aspersion on a inan's
character, contained in its columns, peculiarly injurious: It
was read in every corner of the world in which the English
language was understood. The present libel arose out of the
connection which' the plaintiff had with the Mendicity So-
ciety. The fret office which he had held was that of Honorary
Secretary, and he was afterwards appointed Assistant Manager
for his services, in which situation the Society thought him
amply entitled' to the salary of 3001. a year. In that capacity
.he had acted for a year and eight months, in reward of which
'he received the sum of 5001.,, and lie was subsequently suc-
ceeded in his office by a Gentleman of the name of IValker.
-The libel for-which the plaintiffnow sought to reilresi consisted
of observations made Upon. the plaintiff for having received the
salary which the society had, voted him, and which theythought
him quite entitled to receive ; and yet for accepting this sum a
letterliad been published in The Times, accusing him of being.
a• mercenary in disguise, whilst he professedao act upon inde-
pendentfeelings. Some of the most distinguished individuals
in the country.compoied thiS SoCiety : his R. the Duke 'of,
York was the President, Lord Suffield was the founder, and• Mr.
Bodkin hail filled thesituation of Secretary; for the mode in which
he had discheirgedthe ditties ofwinelt Office ho had uniformly re-
ceived the thanks of the Society'; ' and, in fact; they considered
the annual sum they had voted of 300/4 a year as a very moderate
compensation for hi, service! : these servicee were of a. nature
Ifreatly to raise the Character of thelnstitution, and to diminish
its expences. Mr., Bodkin, finding this libel appearing Ilya
paper of such • extensive circulation, applied for in, explamt-'
then ; but none Whatever was given, and another article ap-
peared. The other' libel consisted of an imputation on the part
of the plaintiff, thit he had intended to transfer to Red Lion-
square the funds of a Society for the relief of the etllouseless
Poor," of which he had been a member, under the impression
that he was to receive a high salary. In all these atatements.
there was not one word of truth, and fiir the injury which the
Plaintiff' had sustained he now. appeared before the Jury to seek
reparation,'' *lle was the last man to complain of the liberty of
the press ; en the contrary, he Considered it as the security fbr
all our liberties. The Zimer was Peculiarly to be dreaded for
its' circulation. It was unquestionably conducted with great
talent, and from that had derived a most extensive circulation.
The object of tho plaintiff Was net money; 'his motive in origi-
nating the proceeding was to vindicate his cheracter, Which had'
been most foully and unjustly assailed ~and he was sure the,
Jury would give such damages as would manifest die sense
they entertained of the injury he had suftinial.
The Hon. Charles Shore was then called; and examined dsv
Mr. 0151tritY : He said he had been a member of the " Men-
dicity Society" for three years. Mr. Bodkin had been hono-
rary secretary and assistant manager. An annual account had
been published:, by the Society.--:-The • Report was then 14iit in,
in evidence.--. Cross-examined by Mr. ScAULN.rx : I was not
an original member I know•Verylittlenf Mr. Bodkin; I have
been told that he acts in a variety of employments: My Men

tlemen, who were to devote their services gratuitously mu great

leading article ecitinded on the letter' recommending the letter
to the attention of the Publid.. -.The paper Containing the libels •
bore the date January .17, 1824, • . • '
An objeCtion was then taken by Mr. ScanLET a., that, there
hod been nOpriiof of any 'vote of 5061. having hien voted.
The argument on this.,point occupied some time; but the.
Learned Jodge was of opinion that there was sufficient evi-
dence to go to the Jury; union which
Mr. Statittrri. rose to address the Jury on behalf of the 4e-
fettiants. Ile said it became his duty make such observe-
tions on the evidence, as suggested thernselveti on the evideage:
which his Learned Ftiend;the Attorney-General, and his coad-

jutors had laid before fliers, 5: ileti on that eeldenee which
his Learned Friend has stated he 'Should addu?c, bait which he
had omitted ; and he should be - with the latter in the first
instance. Hie lieu/led Friend h :Said that Mr. Bodkin, find-
ing it im topossible obtain red - .or contradiction, had found
rtr
it necessary to carte into Courcetnd chitilehp inquiry. He
"delis?" his friend some PartlatkOterruption at the time, and
call upon him either to retraeftahat he bad said, for that he
defied him to- prove his assert*. His Learned Friend had
used some very vehement and effective declamation on the sub-
ject of Mr. Betikin having applied for a contradiction of the
statement., but no such face heed been proved, and therefore
he had a right to call on The duref to believe that the whole
was a fiction. ' No application- of The
first- intimation the „ defendants tv,'..th4.lt.nirlidorw:
proceed was an inquiry as to 4,ewere their solicitors; He
had been now a long time aectiii4etel to Courts of Justice,
and perhaps he felt as little tertWatstrient its any man as to
any intention to
the selection of topics to atitlreerne a Jury, but he confosed
freely he did feel some difficulty Ns to the part of the question
to which he should first address himself, so many and so
pressing were. the considerations which presented themselves
to his mind. Many of the assertiens of his Learned friend,
the Attorney-Oeneral, were mere truttiame of a-eliarectee which
no man could venture to cent-agate sick," rev instettce, ILI
this—chat when a -man is attraiel in hie character and
prospects by the public press, it becomes a duty which he
owes to the public to challenge nn investigation. Why, who
could doubt this proposition in the abstract ?• but like most
other genteel propositions, it must be received with certain
qualifications. But here they found In the very same paper
which contained the alleged libel, a foil and clear authority
to the plaintiff to give any contradiction to the statements
which was in his power. He had an opportunity of an appeal
to the pnblic through the same widely circulated channel
which Co9yeyed the accusation, and just as generally and as
extensively could his vindication have been distributed. Was
this then an action of which it could be said that the only ob-
ject of the plaintiff was to clear his reputation ? His Learned
Friend (the Attorney.oleneral) would have been more correct,
had he said that the object and the motive which hall originat-
ed the prosecution was to put money 14 the plaintiff's pocket,
instead of which he has set him forth as a public man, whose
character has been grievously injured; he did not care whether
lie recovered sixpence by the • action—his sole object was to
meet the charges; and challenge inquiry. ' But what says the
first respectable witness, Mr. Shore?: He stated that no im-
putation rested on the character of Mr. Bodkin, and that what-
ever delusion might have previously existed was promptly and
completely removed by the public meeting which had been
held—a meeting at Which Mr. Bodkin had attended, in which
a tiCfenee bad' been' made for bin, which was published
throughout the world. Was his Learned Friend then right
in saying that the citly object of the present action was to set
the plaintiff's character right with the world ? Why the very
evidence which had been called, contradicted the statement of
his own Counsel. Ile would be very far indeed from wishing
to cast censure upon the noble and respectable persons, who
were the promoters and supporters of the eilendicity Societee—
II e was himself a distant and humble follower in their footsteps,
and therefore, if he accused, he would (to use a vulgar Minnie)
be " bdoullinghls.own nest." But when he stated this, ho
wits very fat indeed front thinking that this Soeiety could ade-
quately discharge Us. duties to the public, unless it was vigi.
'Andy watched by the public press. Those Institutions, which
come to us in the garb of charity, which invite our best affec-
tions; Arid awake our most generous feelings; were, of all
others, the most likely to degenerate into the corrupt object of
serving private purposes, and pmtuoting private advantages,
the consequence of which must be, that what !tad been drawn
from our generosity for the service of the poor, was devot.
sal ,to private gains and filthy emolument. Do not let It
be supposed for A moment that he meant to level any
insinuation of this kind at Mr Benin, farther than to
state, that this action appeared to him the most litigious and
unreasonable he had ever heard of. Farther than this he did
not mean to apply any obeetvatiens which might, chance to.
'fill from him. In the lueubrations of those who directed their

the very tendency of all such Societiesi unless very narrowly
and 7vigilantly watched by the public press. It was for the
',want of this superintendence that the Philanthropic Society
had fallen to the ground, and the sentiments contained in the
alledged libel were such, as that no Editor of a public jouteee
-who wished' to discharge his duty to the public could h }mid-
'
ave tated to promulgate. It was true that Mr. Bodkin had hail the
merit of being mainly instrumental in founding this Societi;
and in reward for his services, his name had been widely cir-
culated in newspapers, speeches, pamphlets, and various other.
ways; he had obtained greet tune; and the only effect 'of
this publication was, that he lied been bespattered with praise,
of which he was sure he would be the last man to complain;
for, from all he could learn, no man was more anxious than
Air. Bodkin that MA name.should appear, ifs tbe.Newipapers;'
anti if lie was cumin!;, to the Bar, as had been said, notoriety
Would be the very thing for him ;he therefore had-no reason
to complain, for no name had appeared more frequently in
