means by which that might be done, in order that the I
public might obtain redress. It appeared from the affida-
vits that Mr. William Brougham, a Master in Chancery,
and brother to the Lord High Chancellor of England, be-
fore an assembly whose passions were inflamed, and
whose minds were excited, had uttered similar ex-
pressions ; those expressions were published in the news-
papers, and no prosecution was instituted. It also
appeared that Lord Milton (how Earl Fitzwilliam), a no-
bleman of the most amiable character, had stated in the
House of Commons that he would refuse to pay the
assessed taxes ; that was published in all the newspapers,
and yet they escaped the notice of the Attorney-General,
although the conduct of that nobleman was eulogised as of
that of a patriot. Their lordships had therefore to say
what degree of moral guilt could be attributed to the de-
fendants after such great examples were before them, and
no notice had been taken of the expressions to which he
had alluded.
Mr. Justice PATTESON here said he had got his notes of
the trial, the publication was merely proved, and the arti-
cle read, and that was allthe evidence. •
Mr. KELLY said he appeared for one of the defendants,
Mr. Bell.
Mr. Justice PATTESON said the learned counsel appeared
on the trial for Mr. Ager.
Mr. KELLY said he now appeared•for Mr. tell, and his
learned friend Mr. Wakefield appeared for Mr. Ager. He
said he hoped to be able to vindicate completely the con-
duct of his client. It was no longer his duty to say that
the defendants were not guilty of a breach of the letter of
the law ; indeed no one could doubt that it was a breach of
the law ; but the question was, whether this prosecution was
called for by any motive of justice, and also whether it
would not be the duty of the prosecutor to ask
merely for a nominal punishment. He would repeat,
that there could be no doubt entertained but that
the defendants were guilty of a violation of the
strict letter of the law, and the gentleman for whom he
appeared through him expressed his contrition to his
country, through that Court, for the error that he had
been led to commit ; but to the Government who prose- 1,
cuted, and to the Attorney-General who acted for that
Government, he felt nothing but scorn, contempt, and
defiance. He would then call the attention of the Court to
the circumstances under which these libels appeared. The
first one, so strongly insisted upon at the trial, appeared
at a time when no paper or party paused at giving expres-
sion to their feelings, however strong—at a time when
every paper teemed with language which as much offended
the law as that for which the defendants were then on the
floor of the Court. The libelwas charged in the indictment
as exciting to sedition. He said most fearlessly that such
was not the intention of the party for whom he appeared.
That libel, though it referred altogether to the House of
Commons, was not charged as a libel upon it, and he could
easily perceive the reason why that was most carefully
avoided. His client belonged to that class of politicians
called ultra-radical, who thought of the present House of
I Commons much in the same way as the middle party, to
whom the Attorney-General belonged, did of the former
one ; the only difference was that they did not speak of it in
such gross terms of abuse. Had the libel been so charged,
the government, the parties now prosecuting, might have
had some of their own grossly scurrilous and vituperative
language thrown in their teeth. After reading and com-
menting on the libel, the learned gentleman said the par-
ties then before the court were to be punished for doing
that which Lord Milton had done in a more violent manner
before. Surely, if he could prove to the court that the
very same crime as that now charged was permitted to pass
without censure by the very same government as now pro-
secuted, and that, too, when particularly brought under
their notice while their then law-officers were present, it
would not be too much to expect that they would makethat
court an instrument for punishing those parties merely
because they were weak. He contended, that every per-
son in the realm had the same right to try and procure
the repeal of the assessed taxes, as had Lord Milton or
Mr. Wm. Brougham to force the passing of their favourite
measure the reform bill. Besides, the crime in the present
instance was venial in comparison to theirs, because they com-
mitted it at a time when there was very great excitement, and
of course, much more danger than at the comparatively calm
time when the letter in question appeared. The Attorney-
General at the trial had said, with great dignity, that if he
had heard and could prove that Lord Milton made use of
the words imputed to him, he would be unworthy of the
situation he had the honour to fill. Let him call to his notice
that i n the Times of the 24th May there appeared a paragraph
stating these words, and calling upon others to follow such
a noble and patriotic example. Why was not that
punished ? Because it answered the purpose of the day,
and kept the Whigs in power. Another reason might be
found in the power of the Times, but the moment the
True Sun but faintly echoes such advice, then comes the
heavy hand of the government, and crushes them to the
earth. He wished to whisper to the Attorney-General that
there was yet no statute of limitations for misdemeanors,
and he called upon him to dare to bring up the proprietors
of the Times for that which no man who read but must at
once see was a much graver offence. ' The paragraph was
read and commented upon in the House of Commons, and
the conduct of Lord Milton censured in the presence of
the whole of the cabinet who belonged to it, and also in
presence of the then law officers of the crown. The At-
tory-General said on the trial that the noble lord's conduct
had been censured by a minister, but he would ask
in what terms that censure was conveyed ? Why, the noble
Chancellor of the Exchequer said that many imprudent
incidents had taken place, but they were quite natural in
times of such great excitement. That was published to
the whole kingdom as all that the Cabinet thought of such
conduct ; then who could be surprised at people being led
to believe that there was no illegality in the matter?
Such being the case, others, and more guilty, though more
powerful parties, having been allowed to escape, and the
parties then before the court having.been led into the error
by their very prosecutors, he did not see how, in justice,
any thing but a nominal sentence could be passed upon the
defendants. With these observations, and with again, in
the name of his client, expressing contrition for the
offence, but also again hurling his defiance, scorn, and ut-
most contempt on the government, he would leave the
case in the hands of the court.
Mr. D. WAKEFIELD said he appeared as counsel for the
defendant Ager, and he was glad that his duty was so
light, for he was convinced that his learned friend
the Attorney-General would, after the expressions
of contrition made by his client in his affidavit,
and also from the fact of his being now no longer connect-
ed in any way with the paper in question, be con-
tented with seeing the defendant on the floor of the house,
and not call him up for judgment. He did expect that
the more readily, as lately at the Old Bailey the counsel
for the prosecution of Mr. Savory declined to address the
jury, because a bill was then before Parliament allowing it
also to prisoners to make their defence by counsel, so
he trusted that, as there was now a bill for alter-
ing the law of libel, in which it was proposed to insert
a clause prohibiting any proceedings from being had against
the mere printer of a libel, the Attorney-General would
take the same view of the case, and let his client, who was
morally entirely innocent, escape.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose to address the
Court in aggravation of punishment. It was impossible to
accede to the proposition of Mr. Wakefield, that in all
cases the printer ought to be exempt, but without acced-
ing to that doctrine, he would at once state that it was not
his intention, considering the circumstances Ager had been
placed in, to press against him for more than nominal
punishment. He had sworn that he was entirely ig-
norant of the publication before it was issued to the
public, that he had ceased to have any connection with
the newspaper, and had expressed an unqualified regret
that he had been the instrument of issuing the publication.
He (the Attorney-General) would have felt most peculiar
pleasure if a similar tone had been adopted by the other
defendants, and that with regard to them in the discharge
of his duty, he could have made a similar concession ; but
they had treated the Government with scorn and defiance,
and Mr. Kelly, who was counsel for Mr. Ager at the trial,
and who laboured with the greatest vigour to show
that the publication was lawful, and that no offence
had been committed, being counsel for Mr. Bell, had
taken upon himself to treat the Government with the same
scorn and defiance, and had stated that they had been
guilty of injustice. He (the Attorney-General. therefore,
instead of being the accuser, was in the situation of
the accused, and now stood upon his trial.
i He might
have said, had he been so disposed, that he did not insti-
tute the present prosecution, that it had been instituted by
his predecessor ; but he scorned such subterfuge, and took
upon himself the full responsibility of the prosecution,
thinking he should be guilty of a gross dereliction of duty
if he did not commend and support it. He was charged
wish injustice and oppression, and was threatened with the
opinion of the present age and posterity. To such a
charge he pleaded not guilty, and was willing to throw
himself for his defence upon his God and his country.
What was the nature of the present publication, and what
were the grounds on which the present prosecution was
brought forward? The prosecution had not been in-
stituted for any matter of opinion, for any discussion
or vituperation, or for any intention to vilify the
House of Commons ; it was not for any expression
of opinions as to party, but because it openly ex-
horted the people to disobey the law, and called on the
King's subjects, not only to pay no .taxes, but to supersede
the government that hail been established. The publica-
tion called upon the people to recall from the House of
Commons the trust they had reposed in them, and to take
the government in their own hands. This was directly
leading to seduction and rebellion ; and if such doe-
trines were allowed to be promulgated, and the
law openly set at defiance, nothing but disturb-
ance, riot, confusion, and anarchy, would follow.
Mr. Bell, one of the defendants, had, upon the trial, stated
that the situation of the country was at the present time
as bad as it could be under anarchy, and therefore the just
interpretation of the publication in question was a-recom-
mendation to the people of as dangerous a nature as he
had stated. Such doctrines would lead to the extinction
of liberty, and render the common law a dead letter,
unless it was put in force. He need not remind the
Court to what a state Ireland had been brought by the
promulgation of similar doctrines, and of the course that
had been pursued by Government to restrain its effects.
The Coercion Bill passed, which was the only measure

that could ensure liberty and the preservation of property
in Ireland. But they were told that this was mere passive
resistance, If it was, nothing was more cowardly ; but it
went much further ; it was a direct excitement to open
rebellion. The circumstances under which the pub-
lication was put forth, were circumstances -which
called loudly for the present prosecution, and deter-
, mined his Majesty's law-officers to adopt it. At the time
Ithe present information was filed there were associations
formed—there was resistance to the payment of taxes, and
great danger of bloodshed—the payment of taxes was not
only passively, but most actively resisted. Serious riots and
disturbances took place—large bodies of the police were em-
ployed, and had the military been called out bloodshed might
have ensued. All this was to be ascribed to these publications.
It became necessary, therefore, to vindicate the law, and
to call before the court those who had advised the forma-
tion of those associations. Now the court had been told

that Mr:William Brougham, in addressing his constituents
in Southwark, had used expressions of which the law officers

of the crown ought to have taken notice
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—It does not appear that
Mr. Brougham was a candidate at the time. I believe he
was a member addressing his constituents.
The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said that he believed that
was the case ; but supposing him to be a candidate, he
(the Attorney-General) should always be inclined, and so
would every thinking man, to lank upon expressions
made use of at such a period, with great forbearance.
Was it true that Mr. Wm. Brougham desired to super-
sede the government? Did he desire the people to take
the sovereignty into their own hands ? No such thing.
He (the Attorney-General) could find no precedent in the
history of this country, where any government prosecu-
tion had taken place for what had been said by a repre-
sentative, in giving an account of his conduct to his
constituents. Next, with respect to Lord Milton, a
nobleman who had endeared himself to every class of
the community, ht (the Attorney-General) should like
to know what the nature of the information filed
against him should be. That noble lord was sup-
posed, when the tax-gatherer called upon him, to have
declined paying the taxes, and upon being called upon in
the House of Commons, he made that statement for which
it was said he ought to have been prosecuted. Now, with
respect to what was stated in the House of Commons,
every body must know that it was no subject for a cri-
minal prosecution. At the time that statement was
made, Lord Althorp stated his disapproval of it,
and it would have been a waste of time for any other
member of the government to have made any further
statement upon the subject. But then they were told that
expressions had been used by Mr. Hume and Mr. Gillon
and they had been taken no notice of. With respect to
them he had only to say what he had observed relative to
the statements of Lord Milton. But then the great
gravamen against the government was that they did
not prosecute the newspapers which were the first to pub-
lish those statements. He hoped that the time would
never arrive when prosecutions should take place for the
publication of reports of what bona fide took place in the
House of Commons. That, indeed, would be an attack
upon the liberty of the press. He trusted that, in such in-
stances, the strict rule of the law of libel would never be
applied ; and he hoped that several anomalies in that law
would be altered for the benefit of the public, and that the
shade which it at present cast over the statutes of this
country would be taken away. The arguments that he
had stated, however, did not apply to publications
put forth avowedly for the purpose of disturbing the
peace of the country, and exciting the people to
open acts of rebellion. In his opinion, the law officers of
the Crown would have betrayed their trust, and have
acted in the most cowardly manner, had they not instituted
the present prosecution, which had been brought forward
at a time when the publication in question had excited the
minds of the lower orders of the country. It was neces-
sary that the law should be put in force, and for that pur-
pose his Majesty's government had placed the de-
fendants before a jury of their country. No complaint
whatever was made of the conduct of the jury on
that occasion, or of the summing up of the learned
judge, and under such circumstances it was,
the defendants having been found guilty, that they were
brought up for the judgment of the Court. lie(the At-
torney-General), so far from speaking in aggravation of
punishment, would implore their lordships to pro-
nounce the mildest sentence the Court, in their
judgment, consistent with the public safety, could.
The duty he had to discharge was a painful one ;
but he never would shrink from the performance of it.
With respect to what had been stated that he had said
with reference to Lord Milton he would again repeat :
If Lord Milton, or any peer of the realm, should
issue into the world such a publication as that for
which the defendants had been convicted, he should con-
sider that he would be disgracing himself and the station
which he held, if he did not bring them before a jury of
their country. His duty, under such circumstances,
he pledged himself to perform. For himself (as At-
torney-General) he should consider it a great felicity
and of
if he was never called upon to exercise the power which
belonged to his office, and he should rejoice greatly if at
country from
to the latest ages,hargthe time of giving up that office to his successor he could
say that not a single ex-officio information had been placed
on the files of the Court by him. He never would, how-
ever,
ry the as
he had
institutions said before,
o f
t h e shrink
fm the dise
his duty, in performing which his only object was to pre-
serve
render the laws respected and obeyed by all 1 c asses of
the community.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE (after the Judges had con-
sulted together) delivered the judgment of the Court.
The defendants, he said, had been found guilty of publish-
ing in the True Sun newspaper of the Ist of May, a libel
which was calculated to stir up and excite discontent and
sedition amongst his Majesty's subjects, by resisting the
execution of the law, and resisting the levying
of. taxes which had been fixed by law. They were
also charged in another count with inserting two other
paragraphs on the 2d of May, of a similar dangerous ten-
dency. It appeared on the trial, that Patrick Grant
and John Bell were the proprietors of the True Sun,
and that John Ager was the printer only. On the
present occasion none of them complained of the
verdict, or of the direction of the learned Judge
who presided at the trial, and the Court had no doubt
but that verdict was correct, and also that the pub-
lications in question had a most dangerous and mis-
chievous tendency; but the defendants said, that under
the peculiar circumstances they ought not to suffer a
severe punishment, because the conduct of others was
as bad, or nearly so, as their own, and that no
prosecution had been instituted by the Government
against those persons for the expressions which they had
used, nor against the editors of the newspapers in which
the expressions were published. The individuals alluded
to in the affidavits as having used those expressions, were
Lord Milton, Mr. Wm. Brougham, Mr. Wood, and Mr.
Gillon. Now, as to what those persons might have said in
Parliament, the Government could not institute a prose-
cution against them ; and as to what Mr. Brougham said
at a meeting of his constituents, although no prosecu-
tion had been commenced against him, yet it was
alleged that prosecutions could have been brought
against the newspapers, and that therefore the Go-
vernment had put the defendants in a situation
in which they thought they were justified in publishing
what they did. The defendants in their affidavits said
they were not the authors of the libel, and that at the time
of publishing it they had a right to do so, alleging as a
reason that certain expressions had been used by Lord
Fitzwilliam, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Wood, and Mr. Gillon,
respecting whom there had been no prosecution, either
against the speakers or against the newspapers. As to the
discretion exercised by the Government, this Court could
not inquire into it, and had nothing whatever to do with
it. The defendants were brought before the Court, and
admitted having committed a breach of the law. How-
ever, under all the circumstances, although persons should
not be permitted with impunity
to put forth such libels,
the Court were not disposed to deal with any severity to-
wards the defendants, particularly as this was the first time
for a considerable period that such a case had come before
them. The sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that
the defendants Patrick Grant and John Bell be committed
to the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea of this
Court for three months, to be computed from the expira-
tion of their present imprisonment. They had been com-
mitted for a former offence on the 30th January for six
months, and that term would expire on the 30th July.
With regard to the defendant Ager, it appeared by his
affidavit that he had no opportunity in his capacity of
printer of preventing the publication, and as the Attor-
ney-General did not press the case against him, the
sentence of the Court was, that he pay a fine to the King
of 205., and be imprisoned until it be paid.
The defendants Grant and Bell were then removed in
custody, and the defendant Ager paid his fine and left the
Court.

A GENERAL STRIKE.-The washerwomen
have not escaped the system of striking. On Tues-
day last not less than seventy of this useful class of
females struck at Kensington for higher wages. It
appears that 2s . 6d. per diem, and two half pints of
beer, have been the regular scale of wages, but a
revolt was agreed upon, and the price to be demanded
fixed at 3s. per diem, and the usual beer allowance.
After a considerable time had been occupied in par-
leying, as to terms, the washerwomen gained their
point, and after taking copious libations of gin, re-
turned the following day to their tubs as usual. A
good deal of interest was occasioned in Kensington
by this singular occurrence.—Morning Advertiser.
