MARLBOROUGII-STREET—Casz or Lizur.-Cor.ozna.
Auctina the course of the morning, a clerk to Mr. Sere!,
the Solicitor, who appeared to defend Lieut.-Col. Arehdall, when
charged with an assault upon Frederick Withers, his servant,
came to the office and presented to Sir George Farrant a letter,
enclosing an order which had been issued by Lord Chief Justice
Abbott, by which it appeared that his Lordship had consented to
Lieut.-Colonel Archdall being discharged, upon entering into his
own recognizancee of 500/. for his appearance in the Court of
King's Bench, to answer the charge, and into which Court it
appears the matter has been removed by a writ of certiorari.
The Clerk required his Lordship's order to be immediately com-
plied with ; that the defendant should be brought up, and upon
his entering into the recognizance of 5001. that he should be
discharged.
Sir G. FAB-RANT, however, was not the Magistrate who for-
merly heard the case, or by whom the defendant was committed,
and therefore declined acceding to the request of Mr. Sarel's
clerk, but desired he would attend in the evening, and then Lieut.
Col. Archdall should be brought to the office from prison.
In the evening, when Mr. Conant had , taken his seat on the
Bench, Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, handed him the order of
the Chief Justice, and remarked that his Lordship had ordered
him to be discharged, upon entering into his own recognizance
of 5001. . . .

Mr. COVANT expressed his surprise at the circumstance, and
asked, if any professional gentleman was in attendance for the pro-
secution?
Mr. Fitzpatrick replied, that Mr. Harmer lied appeared on the
part of the prosecution ; but he was not now in attentistice. He
had, however, received notice that application would be made that
evening for the defendant's discharge.
The prisoner was placed at the bar. He appeared much thin-
ner than when he underwent his fo.•mer examination, and an-
swered the questions put to him in a sharp and short manner.
The Order of the Lord Chief Justice was then read. It was to
the following effect :
" The King on the prosecution of Frederick Withers v. Richard
Archdall.—l do order that the defendant, Richard Arebdall, do
enter into his own recognizance of 5001. before any one of his Ma-
jesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Middlesex, for his
appearance in his Majesty's Court of King's Bench, at Westmin-
ster, on the first day of Michaelmas Term, to answer to an indict-
ment against him for certain assaults and misdemeanours, accord-
ing to the cause of the said Court, and so from day to day,
and not depart the Court without leave ; he, the said Richard
Archdall, he discharged 'out of the custody of the Keeper of Tot
bill-fields Prison, as to his commitment herein. Dated this 27th
Septembeb 1826..
(Signed) " C. ABBOTT."
Mr. CONANT said to the prisoner, you are to enter into your
own recognizance of 5001. for your appearanee in the Court of
King's Bench.—Are you prepared so to do ?—Areltdall—Yes.

Lieut.-Colonel Arebsirtlimas then, bound ►n the retiognizanee of
bho/. and left the office.
Mr. CoriaNT remarked, that it was vary singular no one bad
attended from Mr. Harmer's office.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said, that in the course of the morning Mr.
Chitty was in the office attending upon other business, and he
said he was present when the application WAS made to the Chief
Justice.
Mr. CONANT said then, he was satisfied, hut he was fear

Nome deception had been practised to procure the defendant's

liberation.
Not the afighteat alteration has taken place in the prianners
appearance from his confinement. This person was, in the year
1809, a Major, and subsequently the Lieutenant-Colonel com-
manding the 40th regiment of foot : but while so in command
wee removed from the service for having a soldier of the regiment
severely Hogged without going through the ceremony of a court-
martial. tie next purchased a Cornetry, and afterwards a Lieu-
tenancy, in the llth Light Dragoons, from which he 'exchanged
to the half-pay of the 17th Foot, where he is now placed.
MARYLEBONE, —Richard John Burge, a stone-carver,
