LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Sittings in Banco—Before Lord Chief Justice Campbell,
Justices, Coleridge, Wightman, and Crampton.)

THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF J. P. COLLIER, V.

JOHN R. SMITH-CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Sir F. Thesiger applied for a rule calling on the de-
fendant, a publisher of Soho-square, to show cause why
a criminal information should not be filed against him
for libel. It appeared that the plaintiff bad the second
folio edition of Shakspere, containing marginal notes in
manuscript, which-appeared to be contemporaneous with
the volume, and these notes he had published in a new
edition of Shakspere. He had also published in the
10th volume of " Notes and Queries" that he had
formed his original notes of lectures and the prospectus
by Coleridge on Shakspeare and Milton, of the date of
1812. The defendant had published a pamphlet oon-
taining strong attacks on the authenticity of the notes
and the lectures. The title-page of the pamphlet was as
follows :—" Literary cooking, with reference to matter
attributed to Coleridge and Shakspere, a letter ad-
dressed to the Athenceunt' with a postscript containing
remarks upon the refusal of that journal to print it.
Sincerum est nisi vas---&c. A hint from Horace
on cooking." The letter in question was signed " A
Detective."
Lord Campbell, after remarking on the high literary
reputation and character of Mr. Collier, said no doubt
his character was valuable to him and should be pro-
tected. He had known that gentleman for some time
and could bear testimony to the great benefit that gen-
tleman had been to literature. He never entertained a
suspicion of his conduct. Although possibly the pamph-
let in question went rather beyond the due bounds of
criticism, yet he did not consider it sufficient on which
the Court could grant tile application.
Rule refused.

AN END TO BEuGING.

(A HINT TO SIR R. W. CARDEN.)

Thera would very soon be an end to begging if the
following penalties were strictly carried out :
For the First Offence. A Fine of Five Shillings.
For the Second. A Fine of Five Pounds.
For the Third. Three Months' Imprisonment.
The above punishments we would have fall, not on the
beggar, but on the man who relieves the beggar ; for in-
asmuch as he encourages begging, he is in truth the real
beggar, and he should be punished accordingly. Two or
three fines of Five Pounds, or one powerful infliction of
Three Months' Imprisonment on any Old Lady in
Fashionable Life convicted of relieving a mendicant, and
our word and circulation for it, there would soon be an
End to Begging !—Punch.
