COURT OF tOfslG'il
1111 c. EltsKttst Moved for a writ of HabeaS Cot.
pts to be direaed to the Captain of His Majesty's
slip Li Pique, cortinianding him- to bring up the
body of John Goodney, w o had been impressed
mom on board an Atnerican ship, called the Three
Ssters. This Motion was grounded on an affidaVii,
sating that this per Son, besides being an apprentice,
vas a native of America, and a subjeft ofthb 'United
Sates. Rule granted:

THE KING osAILEt.
This was a rule calling on Mr., ,ley, an
Apothecary at Windsor, to shew cause why a cri.
ninal information should not be filed against hiM,
br having, as it was alledged, sent to Dr: Mingay,
Physician of that place, a challenge to fight a
Mr. Mogi tits said, he abandoned this rule.
Mr. GARROW said, that as his Learned Friend,
Mr. Eastiwe, abandoned his rule, it must be dis.
charged ' • but the Court would, perhaps, allow him
to say a few words on behalf of Mr; O'Riley, who
lad been calumniated on this occasion. He was a
toting man of reputation in Windsor, and he wished
:o stand well in the o.pioton of his acquaintance.
This was an application made on. behalf of Dr.
Mingay, a physician in Windsor, who had stated
that he had prescribed for a Patient, that the pre.
scription was to have been made up by Mr.
O'Riley, and that he altered it, on which the
DJelor remonstrated, and Mr. O'Riley sent him a
challenge. To this the answer was, not only on
the oath of Mr. O'Riley himself, but also of several
other persons, all stating, not only that Mr.
O'Riley did not make use of this brutal violence
towards Dr. Mingay, nor did he alter his prescrip-
tion, but that the violence came from the Maar to
him; that the Doftor bad .drawn out a pistol, and
said he would shoat Mr. O'Riley like a mad dog,
pursued him to his house, and challenged hint to
fight ; in a word, Mr. GARROW said, the whole
of the statement of the Dui.tor was a misteprentation
of the case.
Mr. ERSK r r r. said, that the affidavit produced
to Mr. GARROW contraditted that on which this,
rule was obtained.
Lord ELLRNBOROUGH said, it was needless Jor

the Court to hear any more upon this subjel. The
rule was abandoned, and therefore must he dis.
charged with costs. Rule ttischatged with costs.

Francis Hastings .and. John .Fortesene Morgan,
Lieutenants of His Majesty's ship L'Aigle, were
brought -up 'by Habeas Corpus, from the gaol of.
Dorset,- where they stood charged on the Coroner's
Inquisition with the murder of Alexander An-
drews, at a village called Easton, at Portland,
while on the Impress Service : they came up for the
purpose of being bailed. '
it appeared by the aftilavits, AS we stated on a
former' occasion, that the Captain came on shore
for the purpose of impressing ; that he went to the
Mayor of Weymouth, and had the impress warrant
back'd by him ; that he told the people, who col-
loted at the village, the business he came upon,
and said he 'wanted none but sailors. That they
resisted him in the execution of his duty in the
King's Service ; . that the assault was committed by
the mob ; that the pistol, which the Captain held in
hisleit hand, went off by accident, and the contents
todged in the ground, and that the Captain was
wounded in the scuffle, which afterwards became
general, and in which some persons lost their lives,
and many of the Crew were wounded, Sze.
The depositions taken before the Coroner were
brought up, but the Court could not regularly hear
them read, because they were not stated to have
been taken on oath. _ _ .

Mr. Eitsictsre said, they had, on the part of the
Defendants, whole volumes of affidavits ; hut it was
unnecessary to take up the time of the. Court in
hearing-them read, because the subjea had been
fully and ably stated by ,his Learned. Friend Mt,
JARVIS, when. he moved for the rule. It would
not be just towards the individuals now before the
Court, • nor perhaps very sate for the Public, to
consider the point now. before their Lordships, as
a • doubtful question. ,Ile should think that the
Grand Jury of Dorset, when they came to he as-
siSted, as most assuredly they would be assisted, by
a charge which would be delivered to them by the
Learned Judge who would go upnn the Circuit,
Winild find it quite impossible. to find the bill for
murder against these Gentlemen, so that they Would,
only be arraigned on the Coroner's Inquisition. It •
would be strange indeed, Gentlemen sent upon
so very unpleasant and perilous a service, for the
purpose of manning our fleet at o moment of timer.
gency, were to be found guilty of murder, when
they stied in their own defence against a violent
and outrageous mob. They must be allowed to be
on a service, which was unquestionably legal, for
it was not now a question, when.Nat4lofileerS had
the authority of the Lords of the Admiralty to irri-
press Seamen into His Majesty's Service, they were,
acing legally by impressing that it was not 110,W•
to be questioned, after so many. recognitions of the
praflice by Aels of Parliament. TheseGentlernen
Were engaged in What the State considered as o legal
service, and ,what necessity .would justify. Flow
the case would stand, if some persons of the mob
were charged with this crime, and were brought up
to be bailed, would be quite another question, be.,
‘cause they were riding in direet disobedience to the
law, •in resisting persons' in this very perilatis, but
necessary service. It 'would be dangerous to throw.
out any doubt that it was matter of -discretion in
the Court, to admit these Gentlemen to bail in this
case.

There was no opposition. The to` took te-
cognizances of, the two Defendants, themselves in
4001. and four sureties of tool. each, to take their
trials at the Assize for the County of Dorset. They
were then discharged. .
