HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY.

THE ELIZA ANY.

IMPORTANT COMM ERCI A L DECISION. - This

day Lord STOWELL prefaced his judgment in this
case by lamenting the obscurity that existed ix
the Statutes on which this question rested, and
which obscurity was not only the cause of dith-
celty to this Court, but also to merchants, who
were in consequence frequently at a loss to know
when they were offending against them. Tim
circumstances of the present case ‘vere,—that
cargo of meal had been conveyed front America
by a vessel belonging to that country to St. Jago,
in Cuba, and thence chipped on board a British
vessel, and conveyed to Jamaica; where it was,
together with the Tessel, seized, on an alleged
violation of the 2.Bth of Geo. 111., according to
which it was contended that the importation
ought to have taken place the entire distance in
a British vessel, and that the meal ought to have
been the property of a British subject. The
question then would be, was this an importation
from America or from Cuba ? Many circum-
stances led to the conclusion that a fraudulent

intention in this case pervaded the whole trans-
action, and the Court therefore confirmed the
judgment of the Admiralty Court of Jamaica,
but, under the circumstances of the cases should
not allow costs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(TRis DAY.)

citimiNAL INFORMATION.
Tilt AIN& V. CARLTON AND OTIIERg

Mr. SCARLETT moved to chew cause Why---aWie obtained
for a criminal information against the proprietor and publisher
of The British Press newspaper, for a libel on George Chetwynd,
Esq., a Magistrate, and Member of Parliament for Stafford,
should not be set aside. The alleged charge of libel wan
stated to be inserted in comments in that Paper on the
conduct of Mr. Chetwynd, who was Chairman at the Lei..
cester Sessions, and the proceedings arose at the trial of
two persons named Flint, who were convicted and sen-
tenced to a term of imprisonment. He maintained that if such
comments in question were subject matters for criminal pro-
secution, he did not consider that Mr. Chetwynd was en-
titled to have the rule so obtained. The Learned Coun-
sel then read several affidavits, and one from Charles Flint,
which related to the treatment he received while in confine-
ment, by being stripped of his clothes, placed with prisonevs
who bad committed various offences, and kept upon the gall
allowance.

Mr. SCARLZTT was proceeding, when
The LORD CIVET JusTicE said, it would be more conve-
nient to hear the case further to-morrow, as he was called to
another place.
