KING'S BENCH.-( FHB DAY.)

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. FOLLETT moved to file a criminal infortnation
against a gentleman named Parry, a barrister-at law, for
writing letters to Sir Richard Juddrill, Bart., tending to
provoke a breach of the peace. The names of the parties
were already known to their Lordships, and the circum-
stances which gave rise to the present application, had
reference to some cases which were tried in this,
Court, in consequence of the publication of various libellous
placards and letters in Oxfordshire, at the period when a
gentleman, named Fine, became a candidate to represent
hat county. Mr. Parry married a daughter of Mr.
Fine's, and some of the letters had reference to that
lady, which would certainly be some extenuation for a
part of Mr. Parry's conduct. Two years ago crimi-
nal information had been obtained by Mr. pane
against a Mr. Ailey, and Mr. Slaney, a solicitor, for
publishing those libels. Those defendants had since been
tried, and in the course of last term Air. Slaney
was brought up for judgment. Ile, it appeared, way
the solicitor of Sir Richard Joddrill, between whose
family and Mr. Facie's there was a relationship.
Since the conviction of Mr. Slaney, Mr. Parry had
repeatedly written to Sir Richard Joddrill to cease em-
ploying Mr. Slaney, or having any further intercourse
with him, and on Sir Richard's refusing, on the
ground that he did not believe Mr. Slaney to be so far
implicated as had been asserted, Mr. Parry broadly insi-
nuated that Sir Richard and his lady were at least
privy to the publication of the libels. That charge was
denied by Sir Richard in a letter to Mr. Parry, and sr-
lemnly sworn to be untrue both by himself and his lady.
Mr. Parry, however, repeated his importunities in no
very measured terms, that the connexion between Sir R.
Joddrill and Mr. Slaney should cease, or in the event of
its rill continuing, he, Air. Parry, would consider the
,onnexion a personal insult to himself, and that Sir 11 -
bard must be prepared to meet the consequences. The
last letter written by Mr. Parry formed the chief ground
of the present application. In that letter he stated that
no man would shield art anonymous libeller, excepting
there was such a consideration for services which coo'd
not properly be disclosed, and adding that one could hardly
imagine such compound infamy. Sir Richard had sworn
that he believed Mr. Parry's object to be to provoke him
to fight a duel.
Their Lordships granted a rule to show cause.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

Y.IAHONICV V. FRASI.
This was an action of trespass tried before Mr. limn
BOLLAND in Trinity Term. The question to be tried
was whether a commission of bankruptcy taken out
against a person named Sowercrop was valid or not.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1,0001.
In Michaelmas Term Mr. Hill applied for and ob-
tained a Rule to show cause why that verdict should not
he set aside, and a new trial had on the grounds of ex.
evasive damages, and being against evidence.
This morning the Learned Judge read over his notes of
the trial, by which it appeared, that Sowercrop had been
in the employment of the Portable Bath Company, where
be made some steam-engines ; that when he left that, he
went to the house No. 5, University-street, which he
fitted up to carry on the business of an engineer ; that
he there made four engines, two of which were sent to
a commission agent for sale, &c. The plaintiff was a
builder, and bad levied an execution on the premises for
1,9071., but was turned out of possession by the defendant.
who was an assignee under the commission.
Mr. HUTCHINSON appeared in support of the verdict.
He denied that there had been any act of trading, but
that Sowercop merely made the engines for the Bath Coln.
pany. As to the amount of damages, he hid no objec-
tion that they should be referred to a Gentleman of the Bar.
Mr. HILL would not agree to that, and
The COURT made the rule for a new trial absolute on
payment of costs.
