Mr. 'Mummy called the- case << Ashford o.
Thornton,•, upon which. Mr. GURNEY rose.
Mr. GURNEY.—Your Lordships having on
Thursday delivered it as your opinion that this is
a cast in-which, under the law as it now stands,
the defendant is entitled to his plea of Wager of
Battle, it now becomes my duty on the part of
the appellant to state, that having duly considered.
that judgMent, he has no- further- prayer,to make.
Mr.,READER.III that case, I. apprehend that
the appellant ought to be called upon either to ac-
cept Ole Wager of Battle, or consent that the de-
fendant be permitted to go free, without day.
Mr. GURNCY.—The Appellent- is in Court, my
Lords. 1 have already stated that he has no fur-
ther prayer to make, and 1' may add, that lie has
no objection to offer against the Defendant being
discharged and: allowed to go tree William, day.,

Mr. iticnaaosont.—The Court indulged us to
this-day to consider whether we submitted to the
judgment given on Thursday,, or h Id any further
prayer to make. We have considered We judg-
ment given, and; without saying we give up the
appeal, we have only to state that we have no
further prayerto make.
Mr. Justice BAILLIE.I rather think, Mr.
Richardson, you did not distinctly hear what fell
from Mr. Gurney. I understood Mr. Gurney to
say, that he consented to the defendant being dis-
charged and allowed to go free without day.
Mr. READER.—MF. Gurney, .do you consent,
on the part of the appellant, that the defendant
be discharged, and allowed to go free without
day? • •

Mr. GURNEY.---1 do, on the part of the appel-
lant, give such consent.

Mr. READER.—Then I have only to pray the
Court that he be so discharged.
Mr. Justice RAlLLlE.—According to the ordi,
nary practice, he ought first to be arraigned on
the Writ of Appeal at the snit of the Clown, and
be can then plead his former trial and acquittal in
-liar thereof and. be discharged.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—That is the proper
oesur3c, ale Attorney-General can be sent for-
-and will consent that the defendant be now sp
arraigned, he may be immediately discharged.
Here Mr. GURNEY offered to call theATTOR-
NEV-GRNERAL, who was in the adjoining coffee-
house, and event out for that purpose.
Lord ELLENBORoUGH.-,-MT. Reader,, have yon
the former verdict of acquittal in Court ?
Mr. READER (after some inquiry.)—No, my
L-ird, we have not ; but it shall be immediately
sent for.

The ATTORNRY-GENERAL then entered •the
Court.

_ •
Lord ELLeNBOBOUGH.-Mr. Attorney-General,
do you -consent that the defendant be now ar-
raigned•on this Appeal at the,suit orthe Crown ?

Mr. ATToRNEV-GENRRAL-.-1 do, my Lord.
The defendant- was then arraigned accordingly
by Mr. BARLOW readin!, the' indictment, at the
conclusion-Of Which, Air. READER, on the part Of
the defendant, pleaded the former- trial and ac.
qnittal.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—UnIess the Attorney!
General is pleased to admit that such trial and Plc!
rprittal did take place, it .becomes necessary that.
we award a certiorari to the Sheriff of Warwick-
shire, to have that verdict returned, into Court.

Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL. -1 do admit the
verdict. •

Loft ELLENBOAOUGH.—The judgment of the
Court then is, that the defendant be dis Charged
from this Appeal, and do go free thereof without
(lay.

The defendant then bowed and retired from the
Court. An immense concourse of spectators had
assembled in the,Hall to see him make his exit;
but he contrived to elude them and retire by one
of the private doors of,the Court.

The Tottenham convict ship, which sailed- on
Friday nst ning for her distant destination, put-into
Plymouth, not for the purpose of having a new
rudder, as erroneously stated in some papers, but
new pintles or spills, placed on'her rudder. It may
be'considered fortunate for the ship that the pilules
were discovered to •be broken before she finally
quitted' the English shore. The-ship being built in
l udia, the rudder is made of very heavy wood called
teak, a quantity of which has been taken away from
herbs Plymouth-yard, and lighter wodd substit used.
The Captain of the Tottenham, whilst lying in
Batnpool, was very anxious to get further from
Lind, under an apprehension • that the convicts
might effect their escape with more ease than in a
less favourable situation. Upwards of thirty at-,
tempted to get off theirirons last week,-when one
convict swam from Barn-pool to Mount Edg7
-cionbe, Waving -previously extricated himself from
all his irons, excepting the tingle attached to his
legs.GeOrge Weightman, one of the Derby rioters,
is on, board ; lie is a very fine young man, but ap.
pears very much depressed in spirits.. He declares
that lie had no intention to subvert the Constitu-
tion of this country ; ,thinks his punishment se-
vere ; and grieves -more apparently.at his lot. in
being separated from. his wife and
.children, than.
for any consciousness of bad designs.
