the same letters, the French Ambassador-at Vienna

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KlNG's BENCH, MAY It.

TN E KING V. lIAYLMN..
TILE Defend-am having sent a Challenge to Mr.
Hunter, of the Navy Office, a criminal infortnAtion

was filed against Nu), and he all Owed judgment to go
by default. He was brought up_to receive the judo-
merit of the Court. The Defendant was by profession

a Navy- Agent ; and having made a very improper
use (lithe books in. the Navy Office, M. Hunter, in
the discharge of
.his public duty, complained to his
superiors that the Defendant had been guilty of a
breach of his duty.. In. consequence, of that cont•
plaint, the Defendant was debarred, for ever,- from
coming:into the Navy pffice. It was in ,conse-
quence of this, that he, wrote some letters to Mr.
Hunter,- which amounted to.w.challenge, and were
made the foundatidn of thiS Prosecution. A number
of AffiJavirs were made on his part; and in his own
Affidavit he' made several charges against the Prose.
tutor; that this Prosecution did not originate from
any desire to vindicate the Public Peace and Security
of the Country, but arose -from malice conceived
against' him, this Defendant, because. he had made
some Complaints of Mr. Hunter to: his superiors.
MrEksicirrE and Mr. ,GARRquii-Counsel for the

Prosecuti", presied very hard 09 the Court the ab-
solu e necessity of giving Mr. Hunter an opportunity
ot answering the Deeendant's Affidavit, which was,
us to these charges, absolutely false ; and if this was
not answered, it would be worse than the original
coinplaint, sand no man in future would be found
bold enough to put the criminal law in force.
It was observed by the Court, that -their rule
was, that each of the parties should have a set of
Affidavits, which might be read to the Court ; and
if, after_ hearing them all read, the Court was not
in possession of a sufficient number of faas to en.
able them to pronounce a proper judgment, they
might order more Affidavits to be made.. But
that did not seem to be at all necessary on the
pregent • occasion.. If Mr. Hunter, in this case,
thought himself:aggrieved by any statements that
-.the Defendant had made, and it was extremely na.
tural, When false and calumnious charges were made
upon, a man's charader, to wish to iePel them,,
it sps competent to Mr. Hunter to lay these Affi-,
davits before the Board of Admiralty, and if they
were false to have the Defendant punished. He
might he indicted for perjury. Multiplying Affi-
day .vas attended with very great inconvenience,
a6d !he Rules of the Court must be observed. The
Court having t_leciated it to he contrary to their rule
to r rink the Froiecutor to answer the Defendant's.
Mr. Easx-trru and Mr. GAtotow. were heard on

the pait of the Crown, and gr..MAItEIY.A.T in rniti_
gation crf punishment after -which Lord-ELLEN.
BOROUGH ordered Mr. •Haydon to be remanded,
and brought up again on Saturday the 2tst instant.
