CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Mr. Rim/taps moved fora rule to show cause why a cri-
minal information should not be filed against the Rev.
Thomas Dean, a clergyman of Hereford, for libeling Messrs.
Joseph Higgins and John Jones, Commissioners of Assessed
Taxes for that county. The libel was contained in a letter
written by the Rev. Mr. Dean in the name of Mr. Har-
ford, the solicitor of Assesed Taxes, residing at Ledbury,
and addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In
this letter Messrs. Higgins and Jones were charged with
violating the provisions of the Act of Parliament in granting
game certificates to improper persons, and their instant
dismissal recommended. The letter was written on the
15th May last, and much time was lost in endeavouring to
ascertain who the author was, but it had been at length
traced to the Rev. Mr. Dean, and, indeed, it was not denied
Si that gentleman that tine 'eater -had taen written by him.
The Learned Counsel observed that he had several affida-
vits in proof of Mr. Dean's handwriting, and one from Mr.
Harford, denying in the strongest terms that he had ever
authorized or empowered Mr. Dean or any other person
to write such a letter in his name.—Rule granted.
