the'perifra of the appt;lfant, .81101 Seeing that be
weak Of body, as it is evident, and by no means
capable o 1 combating 'in battle *lilt the appellee,
they will, perhaps, .nut perthit the iisite to t)e put
upon persinutl,COotest.
Mt. ittitice_BAtLEY.-Ilave you any anthority,
M. Clarke, to support that proposition.?
Mr. CLiaktl."--My Lord, I have no express
itn-
thiirity adduce beyond example, and the nit
rat suggestions which occur to the minds of -every
person on a',view Of the 'case.
Mr. I E A are it —My fiords, I apprehend !he only
course of proceeding which my Learned Friend
can take ill tins case is to put in a coonter-plea,
ttnl not to occupy the nine of the Court by argu-
thews upon the rolicy or impolicy of suffering
battle to he waged. All his observations on this
subject answer no good end,. but Inuit lead
we, in the course of reply, into matter from which
I would rather be exchs,d.

Lord ELLENT3OEOUGIC—Mr. Clatte., do you
wish to put in a counter•plea )
, Mr. CLARKE —Yes, my Lord ; and I hunibly
move, on the part of the appellant, that I may
have time to plead.

Lord ELLeN'Boaouotr.—ln a matter so anti-
(lowed, and in a proceeding so obsolete, it is, per-
haps, due to justice that this application should
be acceded'to perhaps it will meet with no re-
sistance on ;he part of the Appellee.
ItEA.DEß.—Certainly not my Lord ; the
I-coda:it is himself under considerahle.obligations
for the indulgence granted to hint ; and it tvould
he eXtrytnely migracions in hint to make any ob-
jection to that coutse which the Court may think
fit to approve.
Lord ELLENBoR out tr.—What time, Mr. Clarke,
will it he con‘euient for you to put io your coun-
ter-plea,

CLAGKE.—On Thnrsday, my Lord,
I shall be prepared, if that will ince( the conve-
nience of the Court.

Lord ELLEts:DottotiGll.--.l3e:hAps Friday or Sa-
Ord,iy Would better suit the time of the Court.

Mr. CLARKE —I shall be ready ‘vheuever your
Lord:lips shall appoint.
Lord ELLF,NBoRoUGH—Let it be Saturday then.

Mr. REAnen—My Lords, with your Lordships'
indulgence 1 will offer one word, which 1 do
without meaning to give the slightest offence !o
any body. I need not comment on the awful
situation in which the defendant is placed, both
with regard to your Lor.fships and to the public.
My Learned Friend (Mr. Reynolds) and myself,
in the performance of the anxious duty which has
devolved upon us, have thought it right to advise
the defendant to p►►t in the plea ►vhich I►as been
recorded, and we have no difficulty in declaring
that we have done so in consequence of the extra 7
ordinary and unprecedented prejudice which has
been disseminated against him throughout •the
country. •

Mr. OURNEY now requested a copy of the
de-
fendant's plea, which was handed to him by Mr.
Reader.
'Lord ELLENBDIViUGH—T.Ct us -understand this
clearly, Mr. Clan ke. Do you pray this delay for
tite put pose of counter-pleading, or merely as tor
time generalLy ?
Mr. CLAI:my.--,For the purpose of counter-
pleading, my Lord.
Lortl 142,LLE":110RoUGH—Let the prisoner be now
reurnultA, and let •hint be again brought up, on
Saturi:ay next, when 1 rxtrct the appellant will
be ready with his counter-plea.'
The prisoner was then conducted out of Court
in the same form in which he had entered. He
was again the object 'Of intense curiosity, and
could, with difficulty be conveyed to the carriage in
which he was taken back to the Marshalsea. The
crowd noon afterwards dispersed.
it-is understood, that the only plea which Mr.
CLABRE can put in on the part of the Appellant is,
that he-is incompettirt, front his youth and want
of bodily strength, fairly to meet the App, llee ill
battle. Upon this plea an at gnment will be
founded as to the power of the Court to waive the
right of battle, and direct a new tri4l.by Jury.
Upon the existence of this right, according to the
ancient and unrepealed laws of England there is
great doubt, and ultimately the intei est of the
proceeding is still kept alive, and the result is
anxiously looked for.
