'COURT Or KING's BENCS.; hiAsy 23.

• - THE ACING THE MAYOR OF PORT&MO*TH:
Mr: GARROW requested the- indulgence of, the
Court to permit bin) to stare some circumstances
which he was aware he could not regularly now in.
troduce to the notice of the Court, but trtiiied he:
should be excused, as his object was. to relieve ,the
anxiety. of a:very respedable and` valuable man.
:The person of whom he spoke. was thelev. Mr.
Bingham,
,at, whose instance Mr. GA at R w had'
e rly in the Term, made an aPpileation ter leave
to file an information against the Mayor of Ports.
,mouth. This Rule had since been discharged : of
tins, neither .tae nor his Client made any Complaint
upon the case laid before the Court, that proceeding.
was of course ; but he was extremely anxious that.
Mr. Bingham should stand acquitted of any inten.'
tiOn to impose apoo tht•Court, or of wilfully con.
cealing any part of the transaction. The truth was,.
that it had been considered as a matter of importance'
it) ascertain, by the highest authority, whether a
Magistrate
ading for one distrid , was justified in
'refusing to give effigy
.to the warrant of a Magis.
..fiate of another eljstri6l. In order to have this
.Anestion decided, Mr. Biogharn had stated all the
tsCts which) had occurrekwith the most scrupulous
-Minutenessi to a Professional Gentleman of repura.
,titre, who had advised, that as the ()hied of Mr.
Bingham was merely to procure a decision upon the
question,: as he had no wish to punish the Gentle.
man against whom the application was made, that
it would be sufficient to state the
,eircuoistanee of
the demand to indorse the warrantond the refusal
to do so, without introducing any other
,citcum.
-stances.. That the proceedings had been eandua,d
tinder this advice. Mr. Qatsow assured the
Court that his,sepresentation of the case did notde.
pend alone upon the assurance of his. Client, upon
:which, however, he could have.most implicitly re.
lied; as he was a man of honour and veracity ; 'but
.he held.in his. hand the
,affidavit of the Prolessi6nal
,Gru-stleman. to whom he had alluded, who had very
candidly stated the :hatter as he 'had. now. repre. ;
sented_it, and laniented that his erroneous advice
should have spgasioned auyUneasinessto his Client.
;Mr. GA/U[OW added, that Mr. Bingham was most
-respedably conneded ; that he was nearly allied to
4urue :persons who .ranked high in His Majesty's
Naval Service, and was one of the last mess Witt)
..would do any thing to impede it: that he bad no
manner of erimiiy. against Mr., Gaselee, and had
not :acted from any personal consideration,. but
lnerely with a view to ascertain the limits of the
•discret ion of the Magistrate upon an important point
of jurisdidion.

THE RING.rO. ?HIT...7PS AND ANOTHER.
Tutu was a Prosecution, the detail of which we
~must defer. It was. for a Conspiracy to. charge
Captain 1103wOrib, o the-. ship Adriana,
a;;Trader'from Li'veiliOol to, Demerara, in 'the ycar
/80/, with the murder of William Darlington, an
Apprt:ntiee.boy On board, fir which Mr. Bosworth
;took his. Trid at an'Adioiralty S6Sion, at the Old i
Bailey, and on which he was acquitted, after the
evtd oce of the first Witneis had been gone through,
he having by hisjwin evidence proved the:case la
be an iniamous'Cobspiracy, hatched by himself and
other Defendants against Captain Bosworth, by
way of revenge for :his having imprisoised them for .
their mutiny and other misdeeds...
This Prosecution was against those • wicked per,
sons for that conspiracy; the proofwhich wat'most
'clea'rly made our, so much so that Mr. EaskritE,
whom the Court had as'signed to them as Connsci,
could not gay any thing in their favour ; upon whiCh .
they were pronounced Guilty. One Of themwas
tried upon another indiament,. for perjury upon the
trial, for the avowed purpose of having him trans.
ToFted ; the other was not examined as a Witness.
Defendant-was found guilty of perjury, also.
Thia is. one of the most profligate cases that ever
came before a Court of Justiee far it api)eared that
the Captain, was, so 1;4, &of-ivbaiting murdered the
boy,- that he "had treated him as, if he had been his
own child. •

OLD BAILEY".

r4cprro DAY--:-TtliißsDAy, MAY z 6.

'rjohv Grant was charged with a capital offence,
,in wilfully wind maliciously shooting at George
Spencer Townshend, Esq. twp pistols loaded with
powder-rand 11,411, aiainst the Statute,
• The particulars of this case, are already in'some
degree before our readqs, which renderi a circum-
stantial detail unneeessaris; The prosecutor lived
in Cleveland Court. On the evening of the
%ph of April, about four 'o'clock, as Mr.
Townshend was near his door, he 'heard a noise.
,behind him ; turning .round he saw the Prisoner
approaching him with a pistol in each hand---He
cried '' Here, Here !" The butt end of bite of the
pistols was presented t( wards him, and the muzzle
of the Other. The Prosecutor '_on perceiving his
danger, endeavoured, by striking him with, a stick
near the wrist, -to oblige the Prisoner tá let-that pis.
.tot fall which was -presented to him, bur Without
effea. TUrning round to call for some siistance, he
felt something strike upon his back, and he imagined
liiMself wounded : he then ran off towards St.
James's-street, but unfortunately fell as he was turn.
ins the cornerthe Prisoner followed, and while he
was down, discharged the other pistol at him ; the
contents passed near his knee, and slightly grazed
him in two or three parts of the thigh. A' crowd
Instantly collefted,,and the Prisoner was secured and
conveyed to Bow-street.
The Prosecutor further stated, that he had
known the Prisoner about four years, that in the
course of that, time he had threatened to shoot
him at least twenty timep. Mr. Townshend was
Agent for. -a young Lady, Miss Ward, on 'whose
account [the Prisoner, it apkeared, was very much
in love with her] he was exceedingly troublesome to
him. Nothing Ntispired• from the cross-examina.,
Lion of the Prosecutor,' to 'invalidate the above very •
genhal account of his evidence.
The above account ,ofaltetsgranvetion was eorro.
berated
_by several 'Witnesses, one of whom oh.
Served the Prisoner- lying in. wait. near Mr. Town.
sliend's house,. for some time preceding the event,
.and the BowstreerOfficer who had him in custody
the night before his commitment, stated there was
Pot the least appearance of insanity about the Pri.
soner either in word or deed.

The Prisoner, in his defence, said, that "his was
not a moral case, it was a case of the heart, and the
decision of the Jury could not possibly be half so ago-
nising to his feelingtas the refusai or the coolness of
that 'younglady towards him I he here wept bitterly,
and seemed so. overpowered by the agitation of his
mind as scarc4y to have power .to spe-ak. After a
short pause he requested ,the Court to take parti-
cular notice that there was no material injury done
by either pistol ; that he_ had presented the butt to-
wards T.. and cleclaredin a.solemn manner that
it was'. not his intention,to take any advantage Of.
:.that gentleman, or any `other person.
Several Witnesses: -deposed to various parts, of
the, Prispner's conduet, as strongly savouring of
insanity, especially since his attachment to the
Lady above inentinned, and more so since the evcnt
of his Bankruptcy.--Vari,ous.instanees were stated
of the efretts of his :passion, and his charaifter Was
by many spoken of as. generally good,
Mr. Baron Git,5:144.41 delivered a most excellent
,charge to the Jury, in which he explained the law
passed in the 29th year of his present Maj:'ity,,: by
stitich shooting with intent to, kill, is, punistable
the ',dm, as murder, and described. the4ifferent de- ;
grec:i,,of tuldness which affeCi the human under- I

the .prisoner's case.
