COURT OF KING', BENCH, Joie 2.1.
THE KING O. J. HARRIOT HART and 11. WHITE. .
<ye stated the circumstances under which this trial was post-
pAned, to oar paper of Friday se'nnight, and we mentioned the
condition of these Defene .nts, as Printer and Proprietor of a
Sunday Newspaper called The Independent Whig.
Mr. RICUARDSON opened the particulars of the Information,
-stating, that certain libels were published in Tie Independent Whig
by the Defendants, on the 20th of December and the 17th of Ja-
nuary last, tending to defame Load Ellcnborougb, and to bring
into disgrace the administration of public justice.
The ATTORNIV:GINIRA t. commenced with some introduc-

• • 31:N! 27.*-CRFSTINAL INFORMATION. '
Mr. PARK applied for leave to file a criminal in-
fliation against a Gentleman of the name of An-
thony Bell. The Learned Counsel moved it upon
the affidavit of Mr. Fitzgerald, who owned several
estates in* the counties oMants, Lancaster, Stafford,
end Flint, the rental of which being nearly expired,
he was advised to employ the Deferment as land-sur-
veyor, resident at Winchester. In payment for the
trouble he should have in performing this duty, it was
agreed that he should receive live per cent. upon the
rentals of the estates, amounting to about 90001. ;
the compensation he would be entitled to would be
4501. When the Defendant's account, however, was
sent in 1001. was the charge which was made upon
Mr. Fitzgerald, for the setdemept of which Mr.
Pickering, of Staple Inn, was referred to, as it ap-
,' peered that in some instance where the Attorney who
prepared.the leases had charged only 161. Mr. Bell
had demanded 30, 40, and 50 guineas. After this
time, Mr. Fitzgerald was harassed by repeated ap-
. plications from Mr. Bell for the settlement of his ac-
count, notwithstanding the reference which had been
given to the Prosecutor's Attorney, iii which the De-
fendant complained that his claim was treated in so
trifling a manner', that he was induced to make a pe-
remptory demand for its payment. In consequence
of these repeated applications. Mr. Fitzgerald wrote
to Mr. Bell in the following terms :
sts—" 1 hot sent your letter, of the 19th instant, received
this morning, by your Clerk, to my Solicitor, and I beg leave to
inform you, that I shall pursue the same mode as to any letter you
may send.in future."
.After the receipt of this note, when Mr. Fitzgerald
was upon a water excursion near Southampton, in his
yacht, accompanied by his friends, the Defendant
came alongside the vessel, and addressing himself to
a Mr. Mayne, said, that he wished to see Mr. Fitzge-
rald. The answer returned was, that he might com-
municate with Mr. Pickering, in London ; to which
Mr. Bell replied, that he did not want to speak about
vto
money matters, but only wished to know if 14y. r itz-
gerald would speak to a Mr. Hooper. Mr. tzge-
raid answered in the negative, when Mr. Bell said to
him, you are a coward, and I will post you as such
in Winchester, Southampton, and London.
Lord Ecustatonovon.—., Take your Rule to shew
cause; but. I think you Might have been saved your
-journey."

tot)? remarks, similar to those ofwhich he availed himself in the
preceding trial of these Defendants, which we have so recent),
reported. lie then proceeded to say, that he had been in his
boyish days at College, and subsequently, from the similarity of
his studies, engagements, and pursuits, so intimately acquainted
with ..he Chief Ju,tice that what he said might be attributed to
partiality, 'and he would therefore rather refer the Gentlemeahof
the Jury to the opinion they must have entertained of him, t76tn
the opportunities they had enjoyed of observing his conduct when
placed in the seat of justice within that hall.
The object of these publications was, to hold up this Noble and
I.earned udge before the public, as an object of horror and detes-
tation. The particular occasion selesjed, was a trial at which he
had presided, when a Mr. Boyce, a tavern keeper at Madras, was
Planwiff, and Mr. Bailifie, an East-India Captain, was Defendant.
The ATTOINLY.GCNERAL then stated the circumstances of

that trial, which we have already published. It may, however,
be convenient to sosne of out, Readers, if we repeat, that the
Plaintiff in this cause, with Ex daughter, was a passenger in the
ship of the Defendant ; at he had not the privileges of a cabal.
passenger, not having paid the consideration for them ; he, not.
withstanding, enjoyed those privileges, from the indulgence of
the Captain, until soma dispute aroso, when be was removed
from them, andvery indecent language was addressed to him by
the Defendant. After this change, two ships hove in sight, which
weresuppesed to belong.to the enemy :'in this situation oethings,
the Captain assigned to each man his post, and the Plaintiff was
ordered to the poop, which was a station exclusively occupied un-
der ordinary circumstances, by thecabin passengers. Mr. Boyce
refuses/ to go to a place front which be bad been driven in 33 dig-
graceful a manner, and in consequence, be was put in irons dur,
ing a whole night; which imprisonment was the principal ground
.of the action brought against the Captain. Another ground al-
ledged was, that on account of the mal-treatment of the Defen-
dant, the Plaintiff kad quitted the ship, and had taken passage for
himself and his daughter in another vessel, at the expense of 1001.
Lord Eilenborough summed up the evidence to the Jury, and in
observing upon it, said, that this additional charge was not to be
attributed to the misconduct of the Captain. The Jury found a
verdict for the Plaintiff, damages 801.
Sir VICART Gums now proceeded to read the extrAta from
the newspapers of the 20th of December, and 11th of January,
which were alledged to be libellous. The publication in the let-
ter referred to the case of Aria v. Dick* the former the keeper
of Cold Eath•fields prison, the latter a stationer in the Strand ;
and in which, a verdict had been found for the Plaintiff in the
SUM of 7001. The ATTOILNIT-GIIWZRAL concluded with ob-
serving, that these prliductions were gross and nefarious libels;
hid with expressing Lis confidence that the Gentlemen of the
/cry would entertain the same opinion, and give their verdict ac-
cordingly.
The proof of the concern of the Defendants in the publication,
and of the appointment of Lord Ellenhorovgh to the office of
Chief Justice of the King's Bench, by Royal Patent, was then
given much in the manner, modals pmts.:du, as in the former
trial, to which we have alluded:
Mr. Low Ten then read the matters stated in the declaration.
They consisted of letters, and commented on the trial we
have mentioned. It was represented, that Lord Ellenborough
must be incapable of the paternal feelings, and scarcely endowed
with the ordinary affections of a human being, to have dictated
the chaise to the Jury It the case of Boyce v. Bailiffe. His con-
duct was also ceisesused on the trial of Aris v. Dickle ; and it wai
intimated that he Olathe cause oldie perpetual imprisonment of
this Defendant, on account of a clause against debtors imprisoned
for damages, which he had introduced into the late Insolvent Act.

The writer also compared the present times with the age of James
11. o hen Judge Jefferies disgraced the administration of justice,
and was torn from the seat of authority by an indignant people.
Mr. CLueroCD rose, and made a very able defence, In a speech
of three hours and a half. He complained that the Attorney Ge-
neral had not confined himself to the question which was for trial,
but had gone into the subject of the former trial, and the probable
conduct of the Defendants hereafter, and also his.boyish inter-
CO,IfSt with Lord Ellenborough, all of which were foreign to the
'abject before them, their duty being to pronounce upon the case
of the Defendants, whether they had published the letter, with the
particular malicious inteoticin charged by the information. If it
were even so malicious, yet if it were not the precise Intention
charged by the information, they were not guilty. He took a
review of thehistory of the Law of Libels, and its first introduo-
Doh from the Cesar of the star Chamber, which passed several
resolutions as to what Should be the Law of Libel. As first,
whether true' r false, it was a That to libel a dead
man was illegal, because it stirred up the relations to violence ;
and idly, That to say any thing of a Magistrate dead or living,
was always libellous, because it was a libel en magistracy, which
never dies. According to which doctrine the Attorney General
might have indicted the Defendants for a libel on Judge Jefferles,
whO died in the Tower, of fear for ajust punishment that awaited
bim,a4d not from the violence of the mob. Many of these re;
solutions were done away at the Revolution, but still the best
lodges, such as Lord Chief Justice Holt, were left fettered by
• them, tiJi the Act of Parliament was passed in 1792, giving the
Jury power over the whole case.
He then quoted Delalue atid other writers, to %New the public
tight of examining the conduct ofJusiges, and declared that it was
highly i;onstitutiocial to hold the best Judges as objects of constant
suspicion and alarm, because, by the jealousy of power; the free-
dom of the people could alone be preserved. He referred to a
pamphlet, written by Mr. Graves, a Master la Chancery, and
settled and perused for publication by Lord Camden and Mr.
Dunning, reflecting strongly on the character of Lord Mansfield
in his judicial coodeft, which; however, was not prosecuted.—
There had indeed been no prosecutions for any thing said by
Judges since the Revolution. Previously there were libels upon
Lord Bacon and Chief Justice Scmggs, charging them with cor-
ruption, and though the Defendants were found guilty, it was re-
markable tk.t both those Judges were afterwards impeached, and
found guilty of corruption. As to the tendency of the libel, it must
be judged from the spirit and tendency of the whole, and not
from particular passages, and if the general object of it was pure
and praiseworthy, that ought to atone for some warm and intem-
perate language. He tote went at great length into an examina-
tion of the passages, and argued that they were all perfectly legal.
He said, that although the Attorney General had not mentioned
the name of the person whom he described as the most eloquent
,inan in the kingdom, yet; probably, the Jury might conjecture
whom .he meant, and it was a fair conclusion to say, that sash
person. would not ppt hfleialf to the trouble of getting by heart
that which he contrived to be a libeL He took occasion to advert
• fo the situatian of the country, which had been stated in his Ma-
jesty': Speech 'as at the crisis of its fate, and the people, though
greatly borthened, hearing every burthen patiently, because from

liberty of the press to be restrained, It appeared we were fighting

small wager, determined to be the first who should
reach the ball. He accordingly clambered up by his
hands and knees, and, to the extreme terror of a
multitude of spectators, placed himself astride upon
that part of the spire which the storm had bent into an
horizontal position. He had scarcely done so, when,
to the amazement and horror of those below, the "whole
gave way, and, with the ball and about one ton of
the stone-work, the unhappy wretch was precipitated
in a moment ; he fell upon the first scaffold, and was
carried by theweight through the two next stages,
when his clothes entangled in the timbers, and he was
detained; the ball passed dOwn to another stage of
the scaffolding, and the stone-work,. hurled from an
height of 200 feet, was forced nearly a yard beneath
the surface of the pavement in Patrick's close. The
man soon extricated himself from his difficulties, de-
scended exaltingly to the- street, and was carried in
perfect health and safety to the next whiskey-shop, to
celebrate this extraordinary exploit. The ball was
put up in the year 1754.
