CROWN SIDE.

Several prisoners were tried, but none of their
cascl possessed any general interest.
Mr. Hunt, Mr. ilirmer, and Mr. Pearson,
were very active during the day preparing their
bills, and keepine; their witnesses in readiness.—
Moorhonse, Knight, and Johnson. were also
bustling in their way. Sir Charles Wolseley oc-
casionally sat obscurely in Co art, or stood unno-
ticed in the passages to the Grand Jure-room.—
The Baronet is most unimpoitant in his personal
appearance, and his physiognomy indicates an in-'
tellect by no means unsuitably' lodged. .
A bill has been prefetred against Rirhard. Owen
for perjury. About 5 o'clock Lord Stanley brought
in a considerable number of bills. The clerk read
them in their order, and upon reading, '" Tun,
bill against Richard Moorhouse for peijuty,"
Mr. Pearson, who watched with the eagerness of
a hawk, ioterrupted--" Nay, not so." The
Clerk corrected the teading7--" against Richard
Owen for perjilly." When the trial, which was
then ptoceed;it WAS finished,
Mr. Pot.Loca. applied to his Lordship for a
warrant to apprehend R,cliord Owen, against
whom the Grand July found a true bill for

Mr. Baron WOOD immediately granted the
warrant.
The -Grand Jury had two bills before them for
cutting and maiminz, when the Court rose,

wi;11 such lines as " Hunt for eve' !" " Hunt
and Liberty !" " What have you to lay to his
charge?" but his person and his movements ex-
cite little attention, now that he is become fami-
liar to the view.
