Sir It.; \VILSON stoned tort!) antitist plause.—
History, he was satisfied, could not exhibit a more illostriOus
example of patriotic virtue than the Electors of Southwark
had displayed during the last two days. Unaided by any of
the usual means that were employed to conciliate the favour,
' and to secure the snffrages or the Electors, he had, through
the spirit and patriotism of the ioliabitaots of Southwark,
been enabled to triumph ever power and influence almost un-
exampled Such- had been the opinioa --of that power and iir-
tiuenee, that when he consulted a friend of his, who knew
the-Electers well (elluding, it was supposed, to Mr. Tierney),
respecting his intention of canvassing the Borough, his
friend had replied, " Tinu might as well attempt to sit
upon the Throne of Englalid, as the influence of the Govern-
- meta, the Bank, and the India Company, would throw au
irresistible weight into the scale of the Brewer." His friend,
however, it. would appear, did not know •sufficiontly the
Electors of Southwark, tend would be most happy to find that
he had been mistaken. No man would, io tact, he happier to
see him seated in their chair of independence along with• Mr.
Caive.t, The cal:walnuts that hail been made respecting his
chance of success had depended upon pounds, shillings, and
pence, and they had not taken into the account the indepen-
dence and patriotism of the Electors of Southwark—nor the
interest they took in the cause of humanity. He bad also the
satisfaction of informing them, that the same spirit was per-
vading all parts of England. That spirit would shew Mi-

ment of spies and - iliformets ; for 'they have re-elected

however, woeld *be appalled at what had. taken place,
and would- say that Southwark was under the influence
of a faction, and Would nu.lie a conspicuous figure in Um.;

never submit to despotism, which was a vice unceon-
pounded with a single virtue. They Would not behave like
the Persian Nobles, who, after a severe bastinado, were wont
to return the King thankS for his gracious notice. He was aware
that undue influence had been exerted against him, hut he had
also met with singular instances of integrity and independence
from persons in the humblest stations. Should he have the good
fortune to he returned to Parliament, he should endeavour to
make those persons who had infringed the rights of theElecttirs
pay the penalties of the law, and to brand them with infamy.
Should the Electots continue their efforts, he had nn doubt
that their opponent, though too much of an Englishman to
act from compulsion, would find it expedient to-mot-few eveu-
ing to heat a retreat; when he trusted they wOuld shake hands
with him, and treat him with that respect which the worth of
his private character deserved. He was sorry to have detained
them so long in such bad weather, but they would he alike

The crowd in front of the Hustings, thought extremely oil-
auerous, refrained from any kind of violence or ontrAge, and
confined the expression of their sentiments to hisses and ac-
elaniations. A short time before the close of the poll; a green
bag was elevated upon a staff, having ticketed tipoo it the

LAW INTMIGENCI.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 19.

I'itOrOSED MARRIAGE OF LADY FRiIistS.TtNIPEST.

TEDIrEST V. ORD.

This impOrtifit case, which has hcen'repeatedly
before the public, and of which our previous re-
ports are in the recollection of our Readers, came
again tinder the consideration of the Court to-
day., It rested on two petitions, One of -them
presented by Lord Stewart, praying fur a confir-
mation of the report of the Master, who had
found the proposed marriage between his Lord-
ship and Lady Frances to be a proper oily; and
the other' coming from Mrs. Taylor, praying that
the Court would reject the Master's Report, and
restrain the parties front eXeeting the marriage.
To the first objection,' namely, the age of Lord
S..ewart, the Master reported, rhat..thou:4li in his
opinihn the disparity of age would in some degtee
be adverse, and might streogtheu other objec-
tions, yet it was not in itself an objection of Sof-
ticienr-force. to prevent- the marriage ; and when
he connected that circumstance with like conco-
mita'nt Maturity of judgment, he could 'not but
consider it, in refereoce to the property of the in-
fant, a recoinmendatiou. The second objection,
whit ) mentioned dissipated babies aird irregulari-
ty of lite', was too indefinite -to be clearly appre-
hended, and was wholly. unsupported by any evi
denee except the stffidavit of Mrs. Taylor for the
persons who bad gisewher the information were
not named, and Mrs. Taylor, said she was not at
liberty to name them. Aslo.the alleged objec-:
don of insanity, as being lodged in the 'family of
Lord Stewart,ihere appeared no groom! what-
eVerfor it. There had been indeed an unfortu-
nate indisposition attending a LAO y af!er her
lying-in, but in that there was not bing -ext raordi-
nary or remarkable. 'lite objection -noicle to the
deficiency tat fortune on4he-part of Lord Stewitrt
was overruled, avit appeared he was possessed of
a fortune sufficient to sustain 'his high rank in lite,
independently of the amole tortnne of the infaat.
The Whole of"the_objeC'ions 'wet e overruled by
the Alaster. And the. report cOucloded by the
Master's Saying, " He bad been induced to report
the marriage as a proper one, and that, iu pur-
suance of the Lord Chancellor's Order, be should
proceed to consider the proposals,for settlemeot.
Sir SAMUEL ROM ILLY, who read the petitions,
comp-tented at great length ,ou the Master's deci-
sion, and on the several objections. It had been
contended, said the Learned Counsel, that from
the public character of Lord Stewart it was per-
fectly easy to have loitught forward evidence to
substantiate the -second, objection urged by Mrs.
Taylor; but, he would ask;,' what matt would
disclose observations that occurred to
him on a private traosactiOn;'Occurring in private
company? He deeply regretted tliat his duty
compered him to make any comments which might
seem injurious to a person like Lord Stewart, and
he should restrain himself Within as narrow
bottnilZi' as possible. Ile could by no means bring
hisjmind to the persuasion that the Lord Chau-
cellor would adoet tbeo;eport of ths.e Master. His
Lordship, sitting thete in equity, must exercise
his judgment in the present case as a parrot
evoald, and it was—,by no ineStssai-rosesslitll (pat
strictly legal evidence should be adducedri:Ws4
there, lie would ask, any pa,rent who, being risid
that a person (ieting himself as a suitor to his
child was profligate or licentious, would say,
" Give me evidence of the tact," as if he were
preferring a bill of indictment ? MrS. Taylor, so
tar from finding that what she had before stared
was incorrect, had found every thicg abundantly
confirmed, and the facts were such as would pre.=
vent any parent tromg;ving consent to the mar-
riage. The Master had stated each objection se-
paritely, instead of takiog the whole together,
Ile had taken the first objection, namely, the for-
tune of Lord Stewart, wrongly. This permanent
and substantial fortune of that Noblemao was
only two thousand pounds a-year, the lest de-
pended on the pleasure pH he Sovereign. As to
the income of Lord Stewart from his German .em-
bas;ttge, it was not to be supposed he should pot
the annual 1'2,0001. into his pocket, since tare
were, tzumerons and heavy expenses to which his
situation inevitably exposed him.- The Learned
Counsel oncluded-With a solemn injunction, or
invocation to his Lordship,
,that he would exer-
cise, as lie had no doubt he would, the high au-
thority and jurisdiction with which he was armed
and invested, for the ?ore and sacred purposes
for which it was intended, anti that the nature of
the strict and technical evidence required in
Courts of Law would not be insisted upon th:Te.
Mc. HART, for the Countess of Antrim, took a
general retrospection of the subject. Her Lady-
ship had beet) led principally in the part she bad
taken, by the high opinion which she, in com-
mon with' all who had any knowledge of Lord
Stewart, entertained of his eminent merits, his
great, public service's, awl his couspicuotts and
well.earned honours. It was trUe, Lady Antrim
might possibly have erred it, judgment, but until
it should be shewn that she bad not proceeded on
grounds as tenable and solid as a,hich her
co-trustee rested, he trusted the Coort would be
of opinion, that the objections 'ought not to be
allowed.

•
Sir ARTHUR PIGGOT, in a most able fpeceli,
defended the conduct and character of Lord
Stewart, in the cours'e' of v'vhich denied that the
Lord Chancellor, in his capacity of a Judge, could
act as a parent. A parent was not obliged to ex-
plain the reasons which induced him to act in any
manorr lie might do, however wise or foolish -his
opinion might .be. Sir S. .had acid that
no parent would consent to a marriage under ex-'
isting circumstances ; but here was a parent,
and a mother too, who did consent, and who
was also one of the testamentary Guardians.—
Was the. Court, on such "vague assertions ,as were

.made in this case,.to say that because Mrs. Taylor
would not consent to the marriage, his Lordship
also would not consent No man's character` s<►ulcl

be safe, if it could he taken away on such broad
assertions. The Learned Counsel eulogized the
chdracter of Lord Stewart, vnd went over many
of the arguments used on the former. hearing of
this case, awl which .appeared in 11).7 Tun Sox at
the tittle, lie also took n_ review of his Lordship's
fOrtunc,, to the same effect as on that occasion.

The plea of insanity was wholly done away with,

for after all Cite exertion that had been mace, only
two cases had been adduced, both arising from
accident ; 'one was the Marchioness,of London-
derry, occasioned by child-hit th, and which -bap-
petted so tong back as the year 1782, since which
no symprom had occurred to that Noble Per-
sonage : the other was that of a sister of Lord-
Ste-wart, which had arisen front the same-caltse;
this Lady had since had five healthy children, and
1)), the affidavit of her husband, had littd no ie.,
lapse. Ile complained of the publication of the
proceedings when before the Master, and Corn-
bated file various arguments of Sir Samuel Ho•
observing; that Lord Stewart would akeree
to -any application of the property of the infant
the Court might deem fit. He submitted that the
teport he confirmed.
Mr. nottNii followed on the same side, urging
and" enforcing, with advantage, many of the
points. In alluding to a certain letter in the
Master's hands, he occasioned the rising 01 Sir
I,ttntitl Homilly,_ who observed that he had been
desirous to see, that letter, Wit that 'the Master
would nor produce it.
The Loan CHANCELLOR, recurring to the
Master's report, perceived the, omission of the
letter, and read the Master's reason for with-
holding it, which was, the coarse and-indecent
terms in which it -was written. Ins Lordship,
howe‘er, observed, that whatever the style of the
letter might be, it ought to have been shewu to
him.

ilr. floni,in proceeded to enforce the .previous
Argiptients, wiiich he did ivitii Intla energy and

effect.

Sir S. Romtt Ll' replied, going over with great
ingenuity and exactness thi whole of the argn-
menta advanced on the other side, enforcing his
tswn, and concluding nith a confident hope that
the Court would reject the report of the Alaster.
The Lotto 'CHANCELLOR then said, he should
give Judgment in the case on Monday next.

COURT OF KING'!, BENCH, JUNE 19.

ASSAULT.—SMITS AND WIFE V. ALDING AND WIFE.
This was an aciion f('ir au assault eorninitred by
the defendant's f e upon the wife of the plaintiff.
Gnatir.Y and Mr. PLATT conducieil the
Case fur the plaintiff.; and Mr. SGARLETT that of
the defendant.

It able fired that the parties resided in Dept-
ford, arid the wife of the defendant was repre-
sented to have huen jealous of all the women in
the 'neighbourhood. Suspecting that her husband,
au improper aNtraintance with the plain-
tirs wife on the' day mentioned in the declara-
tion, she went to the house of the latter, and in
•the tory of a jealoos fit she reproached her with
her supposed misconduct, in terms not quite de-
cent for publication. The plaintiff's wife was
then in a family way, and. the defendant's wife
threatened to perform the Casarian operation upon
her wiliva knife, whi6h she affected to. pull from
her pocket ; but from the performance of het
threat she '%'sB prevented by .the interposition of
the hy-standees ; she then doubled her fiats and
threatened to strike her. The other lady dared
her to strike a blow, shying that she could get
inure law for-a pound than her opponent could.
get for five pounds. It appeared that nn blow
was struck, and the supposed aSedtlll only amount-
_ed to H threat. A
.miscarriage of the plaintiti's
wife, however, had followed the affair.

- The case wrist to the y, who found a verdict
for the detendant.
