COURT OF KING'S BENCH., JAN. 23.

This was the first day of Hilary Term. Mr. Justice
BAYLEY sat in the Bail Court till half-past one; and it was
nearly two before the Judges took their seats in the usual place.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE did not appear, but is expected
to-morrow (this day.)

THE XING V. M'QUEEX.
Mr. CAMPBELL moved for a rule, calling on Mr. M'Queen,
an attorney of the Court, practising in the county of Derby,
to show cause why a criminal information shonld not be exhi-
bited against him for a libel on the jurymen. who tried a
cause in which he was attorney for, the plaintiff. The case
involved a question of right between two mining com-
panies in Derbyshire, and was twice tried, and on both
occasions a verdict was returned for the defendant. Subse-
quently to the second trial, an article had appeared in two
newspapers circulated within the county of Derby, which there
was reason to impute to the defendant, containing a highly
coloured statement of the evidence, and reflecting on the Jury.
The Learned Counsel read part of the article to which he re-
ferred, in which surprise was expressed that, as all the evi-
dence was .given for the plaintiff, the' Jury..shou,ld take four
hours to deliberate; the evidence was set forth ; and then a
statement made that the defendant.; called no witnesses in reply,
but relied on an address and " an independent Jury.?'
Mr. Justice .BAYLEY asked if the affidavits alleged that the
evidence was misstated. -
Mr. CAMPBELL replied that the affidavits scarcely went
that length; but the Jury positively denied the imputations
cast on them. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to read
further; but
Mr. Justice BAYLEY said enough had been stated to induce
the Court to grant a rule to show cause.---Itule Nisi granted.
The rest of the day was occupied by motions and cases in
the peremptory paper, entirely destitute of general interest.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS; JAN. 23.
(Silanga in Banco.)
This being the first day of Hilary Tern); the Judges ditl
not come down till past one o'clock. They were occupied for
some time in justifying bail, and disposing of motions of course.
L !DEL.-1,11.18.4.11.1U V. CLEMENT.
This was an action for libel against the proprietor of. the
Morning Chronicle, tried in Guildhall in the sittings after
last term, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff, damages
4001. The plaintiff was the Minister Plenipotentiary and En-
voy Extraordinary from the republic of Chile to the states of
Europe, and particularly to this country, and had been au-
thorised to negeciate a loan for the service of the republic. lie
negociated a loan for one million sterling, through the agency
of Messrs. ullett, Brothers with them
and was brinuendo
charged with having colluded with them to cheat John Bull
of 200,0001., with which he proceeded to Paris, where he
lived in a style of, grandeur out-topping the magnificence of
Princes, &c.
Mr. Serjeant TADAY now moved for a rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be set asideYand a nonsuit entered,
or why a new trial should not be granted, on the several grounds
that the evidence did not support the verdict, that the bonds
on which the loan was effected were notVmped, and thauhere was no evidence of the existence of the Klipublic of Chile • in
which case the plaintiff had no official character, and had there-
fore acted illegally, for it was plain that the amount.of dumaips
depended on the situation and character of the plaintiff.
ilia first objection was, that there was no evidence of rthe
existence of Chile as an independent state, for it had trot
been recognized by this country by treaty or otherwise.,
The King of England, as the executive of this country, had
treated the King of Spain as the legitimate Governor of
Peru for centuries, and none of the Courts of Justice ad-
ministering the municipal law of this country cOuld admit' or

authority.. There was every valuable work at present in course
of publication, which was very favourable to his (the LeArned
Sergeant's) view of the Case.
Mr. Justice PARE said that Dr. Haggard had published a
very valuable work on the subject of international law.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said that he had taken the dirk,
tinction between acknowledged states and those not acknow-
ledged ; and many of them, if tried upon that
principle, would
be degraded from their rank. The empire of Japan was not
acknowledged, but was not to be degraded on that account. If
states were acknowledged by this country, the proof might be
shown. If they were not acknowledged, the proof of their being
able to support troops to defend themselves, their making laws
which were administered by courts:of justice, and obeyed by
the people, would be considered sufficient to place them on a
footing with acknOwledged states, 'because they possessed all
the attributes of independence.
Mr. Sergeant 'farms, then submitted, that as the loan bond.
had not been stamped, it was illegal. The bonds hod been'
.executed in France, and issued in tilts country.
The Lon n CHIEF JUSTICE, suspected that the bonds were
issued iri France for the purpose of defrauding the revenue.
-Mr. Sergeant 'PADDY said, they had been issued here, and
the question was, whether if did not come within the stamp-
duty. Three instalments had been paid.
The Loan CHIEF JusTicE said, that if the plaintiff had
obtained money or arms without the permission of the Govern-
ment of this country, he acted illegally, and could not main.
tain an action if his conduct were libelled, because the circum-
stance might involve this country in war but he could recover
damages so far as his character was Slandered, though he could
not in an illegal act.
Mr. Sergeant TADDy had been of opinion that the lending
Artmoney to the Creeks was wholly illegal. The plaintiff's
mission to this country was for an illegal, purpOse, and his ex-
ercise of it was therefore illegal.
The LORn.enlaY JusTrot said, that the points now urged
were not mentioned at the time, but the Court would grant the
rule on the first point, the nonsuit, and on the third point, the
new trial: on the second, the illegality of the bonds not being
stamped, the Learned Sergeant took nothing.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY said, he also moved for an arrest of
judgment for a deficiency in some of the counts in the decla-
ration.
The Loup cntEr jusTrcE said, that his brother Vaughan's policy was generally right, by not taking the verdict on the first
count only.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY said, he could only get it on the first
count.
Mr. Sergeant Vatic:max.—lf he gives Me the verdict on the
first count, I don't ask tor it on the others.—Rule granted,

On Saturday evening John
.Vann, one of the
Bow-street patrol, met a man in the City-road,
aarrying a small trunk, which he shrewdly
suspected had been stolen from some stage
coach, and he requested an explanation on the sub-
ject. The other refused to give any explanation,
and the officer attempted to take him in custody.
The stranger immediately produced a bludgeon
from under hits coat, and before the officer could
take out his staff, struck him repeatedly with
tin thick end of, his stick, and inflicted several
severe cuts on his head. Vann at lei►gth secured
him, and lodged him in the watch-house.—
The trunk was afterwards opened, and found
to contain a bilk gown, some straw plat, some
home-made bread, and a letter, without any
superscription. The prisoner, a decent-looking
young man, on being taken before a Alagistrate,
gave his name and residence George Kelly, Fe.
shioq•street, Spitaltieds. He did not choos7. to
account for his possession of the property, 'and
was reminded until some further light can be
thrown on the affair.
