Several persons of the first distinction, of both
sexes, were last night at the Royal Amphitheatre, at
the representation of the new Spectacle of the Honest'
Criminal ; or, False Evidence : the plot and incidents'
of the piece derive a more than ordinary interest
from being founded on the peculiar circumstances at-
tached •,
to the flight of the Prince Regent of Portugal
to his present reit-cat, the Brazils. Much, however,;
as we admire this production from its local and scenic
attractions, the new Pantomime of the Man in Me
Moan, the almost miraculous Horsemanship of!
SMITH, and the extravaganza of the Hunted Taylor,
must, and shall have our admiration.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 25.
NATHANIEL YOUNG.
This was a case in which the privileges of the City
of London were immediately concerned.
Mr. GARROW applied for a Habeas Corpus to bring
up this man, who was a freeman and liveryman of
London, and who had been impressed. The same
question had been before the Court in the case of Ma.
lachip in 1777, and then the Habeas Corm,: was
granted, and the man was discharged, pending the
enquiry. In 1792 there were similar proceedings ;
but neither in the former nor in the latter case was
there any ultimate decision.
Lord Ei.r.Esnonoucli" Was Millachip resident
in London r'
Mr. GAnnow.—" He was a freeman and livery-
man of the Needle-makers' Company, and, like Na-
thaniel Young, was a waterman on the river Thames."
Lord ELLENBOROUGH--" I do not see on what prin-
ciple they are to be exempted from the defence of the
country." _ _ _

Mr. GARROW'—" Under Edward 11. on account of
some gratuitous assistance in arms to Government,
they were exempted."
Lord ELL FN nonounn—" Charters may be called in
question, tending to exempt permanently any class of
subjects from rendering such service to the country."
Mr. GARROW---" The freedom of the City may be
obtained by purchase, but in this case it was acquired
by servitude. There is an immemorial use in support
of the exemption."
Lord ELLENBOROUOiII Read your affidavits."
Mr. GARROW said, that in substance, they stated
instances of persons discharged in the situation of
Nathaniel Young, and then they mentioned the Char-
ters as the ground of exemption. They gave an ex-
tract from one of these, dated the 12th of December,
in the 15th of Edward H. by which it appeared, that
the Mayor and good men of London had given aid
to the King, on foot, at the castle of Leys, in the
county of Kent, and that his Majesty wishing to find
indemnity for them, had granted to them and their
heirs, &c. citizens, that they should not be drawn out
to be sent in guerrans extra eivitatem fireedictam.
Lord ELLENROROUGII—" I do not think this is stif-
ficie,pt to exempt them ; and to grant the writ would
be giving a sanction and consequence to a pretence of
exemption, for which there is no foundation."
Mr. GARROW—u A writ was granted in 177', and
on the subsequent occasions in the Common Pleas."
Lord ELLEN LtORUL:G/I—" We car, only proceed up:,
1 what is shewn to us."
Mr. Justice GROSE" Your application, if suc-
cessful, might enable the City to set) sotro more free-
doms."—Writ refused.
