CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER
Daniel Fitzgerald, who pleaded Guilty to the offence
of returning from transportation, and against whom
since his return several charges of theft had been pre-
ferred at the police-offices, was sentenced to be tran-
sported for life, and to be previously imprisoned in
Newtate for one calendar month.
Thomas Peak pleaded Guilty to a charge of forging
orders for the delivery of goods, with intent to defraud
one Thomas Broad, and was sentenced to imprisonment
for three calendar months.
John MacLaughlan, a respectably-dressed man, about
35 years of age, was indicted for u misdemeanour, under
the 6 and 7 Vic., c. 96, commonly called Lord Campbell's
Act, in baring, as was alleged, threatened to write and
publish a libel on the Hudson's Bay Company, with the
intent to extort money.
The defendant, who was permitted to stand on the
floor of the court instead of the dock, pleaded Not
guilty.
The counsel for the prosecution were Messrs. Clark-
son and Ballantine; and the defendant was represented
by Mr. Parry.
Mr. CLARKSON had begun to open the case for the
prosecution, and was about to read a letter written by
the defendant, which formed the subject-matter of the
alleged libel, when he was interrupted by
The RECORDER asking him if the defendant was
charged with threatening to libel any particular individual
or individuals, or only the Hudson's Bay Company, as
a body corporate?
Mr. CLARKSON said the indictment charged the de-
fendant with threatening to libel the Hudson's Bay
Company.
The RECORDER said, that being so, he was of
opinion the charge could not be sustained under the
indictment. He apprehened that the section of the
Act of Parliament, under which the indictment was
framed, applied to the case of individuals alone whose
fears might be worked upon by the threat of publishing
that which would give them pain or do them an injury,
and it was not in its terms in point of law legally appli-
cable to the case of a corporation, principally because it
had not used apt words to express a corporation. He,
therefore, thought the counsel for the prosecution had
not brought themselves within the precise language of
the Act of Parliament. The Act in question clearly
contemplated the case of individuals only ; but this was
the case of a great public body amenable to public opi-
nion, and it could well disregard the threat of a man
who said ho would turn patriot and submit certain state-
ments concerning them to the public.
Mr. CLAnitsox said, under those circumstances he
would not further press the case, and intimated that pro-
bably the prosecution on consultation might think it ad-
visable to put the defendant on his trial for an offence at
common law.

Mr. PARRY, for the defendant, said he wished it to
go forth to the public that he should have been fully
able to resist the charge of attempting to extort money
under any reasonable construction of the law.
The defendant was then liberated.
