BAPTISTE METARA!
In answer to this Mr. Stevens wrote a letter to the
Count, in which the following passage appeared:—
" 23, Bolton-street, April 30, 1850.
" Now, Sir, having obtained permission from r;
, of Connaught-square, to mention his name,
have to inform you, in reply to the question (whie4

~,
you have an undoubted right to a,k), that he wasA
informant relative to the report of your having II:(113tt
horEe shipped. He has desired me to refer you to bon'
To that letter the Count rejoined as follows: 1.
" 13, Cumberland-street, IraY
" Sir,—You say that the author of the infamous false-
hood you have circulated is a Mr. of No. :
Connaught-square. I have called there, in comps's*? Kitha
my friend, Captain Ross, of the 42d Highlanders,
find that the house is uninhabited, and that Do 1%
can be seen; but I am told there was a Pe,ris°
of this name, who some time since absconded to the Val'
tinent, leaving his debts unpaid.
" If this be your friend, and informant of snob lit
mous falsehood, both he and you are deserving of tan
greatest contempt. You must not suppose that you ,
be entitled to claim the privileges of a gentleman, ut.
that I should condescend to notice any more of your °
fensive letters.—Your obedient servant,

Sir F. Thesiger ~al
continued to say the 'whole or t"

Lord CAMPBELL said there could be no doubt that the
papers which Sir F. Thesiger had read contained 1131/(' the
abundantly libellous to' justify the interference of t
Court in the first instance.
Sir F. THESIGER said nothing could be more iniuri°;3:
to a foreign Count in this country than to say that
had assumed a title which he did not possess.
Lord CAMPBELL said that was not more libelinl
than to say he had been horsewhipped.—(l42lllll in
The question was whether Mr. Stevens was just.„- jai
writing the libels, and whether the Court ought
terfere. ••
Sir F. THESIGER said the Count was pot:the tr

The Learned RECORDER proceeded to dellv''

charge. He said the calendar presented no circllo3 : nor
of novelty requiring the observation of the C"lltrt.,,
did the charges themselves involve any diffico7o4
point of law. The calendar contained the names (3,4ber
prisoners, exhibiting under one denomination or iscffre-
-119 cases of larceny, with or without the severs, 4'50-
vatioes which attached to that offence; 12 cases Of
glary, 5 cases of uttering counterfeit coin, 5 icetrtere,olf.,
embezzlement, 1 case of sending a threatening
case of stealing a letter from the Post-office, 10 c.,s„seper
receiving stolen goods, 1 case of robbery from 1"0"Qed
son, and 1 case of assault with intent to rob. Tb„,c Ss-tir
of 160, out of the 184 of the offenders whose nal-400''„
peered in the calendar, seemed to have been the 11:03ot
ful acquisition of property. The cases of violence %verge
a serious though limited character. There was c with
of rape, several charges of cutting Bad woundil3gef
intent to do ROME, grievous bodily harm, a chergtd- her
unhappy woman attempting to drown lerself 111' ease
child while in a state of partial intoxication, e°1:1..„.0 of

the jury that none of the cases would afford thellejeel
muck trouble; that was, a very short inquirY.,-,,aire",
would serve to convince them that the charges ,1:"000P
