COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov: 20.

THE KING V. DAVENPORT SED'LET.

This defendant 'was .now brought up for judg-
ment. 4ie, together with John Sedley, Edward
Meyei and Johrr Gabriel Gustavus 'Kierrulif, had
been indieted for a conspiracy to defraud the Mar-
quis of Headfort ; the present defendant .was found
guilty, John Sedley and Edward Meyer had not
ap-
peared, and J. G. G. Kierrulf was acquitted.
The reader will recolleet the prominent features of
this complicated fraud, in which it 'was proved, that
the defendant had, in order to induce the Marquis,
to give him his acceptances on bills of exchange to
a large amoont, carried on' a correspondence
' with him in the petsnns of various fictitious eha-
raeters, writing him one letter in the name of
O'Brien, a pretended friend of the family of the
Marquis's housekeeper, atteaing to caution him
against Meyer, who had' acquired hiS vast riches
by loans to the Prince of Wales, Doke of York, and
alter persons of fashion, at usurious 'interest. At
la,t, in order to intimidate the Marquis into the
pa merit of his own acceptances, for which the de-
tendon's had failed in their Promise of giving his
Lordship any consideration, letters were written to
him as it from bona fide holders of the bills, ex-
pressing their authors' surprise at his, Lordship's
connection with a man of so infamous and unnatu-
ral a charaeter as Meyer, who had been thrice pd•
lortea for a detestabie offence, and offering, pro-
, sided his Lordship paid one bill of 5001• to clear
him from-the rest ; at the same time threatening,
in case 'aeon-compliance, to placard Meyer about
the streets, as .a party to this bill with hid Lordship,
or to drag him to Bow-street, where, as the re.;
porters were latest' of their abuse, his Lordship
would-doubtless come in for his share, with a cha-
racter like Meyer, who was stigmatised with every
ebnoxious epithet. 'Diaughts or copie4 of all these
,beiters were f'•utti in the convicied defendant's pos-
session ; _ and the conspiracy was otherwise so cle.Mv
proved against hitt), that ,his Counsel at' the trial
niale no defence for itim. -
Lord ELLENTIOROUGH read his notes of the evi•
&ince at the trial in full; and the defendant now
' Or in only one atlidatit,' stating, that the fetter

defendant's soe,'Juhn Smiley, as was proved at the
trial, by 'George Bones.; and iMputing to that' Svit-'
rie,s.s coiiviiliotii; oi aud.
The detendan' then addressed Ire Court in
gatio'n of ountsinnent, with very vloictil gesture,. and
it strong IriTh accent. He began by recriminating
upon 'prnsecutor, who, hf 5,03, Mean' to benefit
his own credit', which wastompletely lost, in Ireland,
by his bill ncgociations with Meyer,' iyhtch were as
much' for 'the accommodation of one party as the
father. He deiti,d that his-son .had %,ritten the letter.
signed." Thom; O'Brien';" he bad newer trusted
hitt) 'with his atfaiis. He said that Barnes would

have scorn anything as to that hand.writing, which
fie' dehie‘i of their Lordships to. compare Ah h
800'4 hind, t'rd they would find there •was not ihe
sliqhtes: resionblance between the two. 'He accus-
ed the Maripris of Headtort of offering 4001, to `tw,'
tun' dogs to swear him' guilty of !dotty at the Old
flatly ; and related a story of a couvers'ition which
had passed on that subject bet weeu his Lordship apd
a Wend at the Union Cioh-house.
• I,old ELLENVOIIOUGH asked him why he bad not
affidavits as to all this ?
The defeodant replied, that every body refused Ao
appear connected with hint, so Uhtclt
.had he been
reinesented in the' nevspopt`rs. • •
'Lord ELt.CisnuaoiGn asked liim hoW Ile accounf-
ed for thedraUghts of the letters m questionbciug
• all to lid hot;e ?
he defendant replied, that Richard Walker left
copies of :dl the .correspouL4 nce at his house, when
he was not at h;rine ; 'auti' the defendant had taken
copies of it, fie made a great many more ihele-
yam and violent observations, liOnie of which. we
folint to understand; and in the course of speech,
stated hint if to be in the 68th year of his age:
The ATTtl.NA::.t.GctittttAt.., in support of the priS-
sccutioo, said, ilia, although this was not the period ,
for a:defendant to iriapi,;n the vetdkt of a Jury, yet
'if facts could he disclosed to the Court, which •
would show that that JOrY had in any degree
formed an erroneous Conclusion, it was never too
late to restore to 'a, defendant hat justice of Whieh
his 11'61 had'deprived hint. flit what the preseijt
deieudaut had Asserted was either wholly unsup-
ported by affidavit ; and if it wets so supported, was;
wholly itotnat: rial. What i f the defendant's son did
not write that letter signed
," Thornati O'Brien ?"
The defendant's affidavit did not tell the Court who:
did write it.. It said only that the depotient • had'
seen a nameless person' write and deliver And.
what it George Barnes deserved all the teproach Whit
which the defeodant and his deponent 10d. luatied
hi:n ? Was not the conspiracy otherwise abundant-
ly proved ? Was not the Marquis of Headtot t de-
frauded ? Was oat the defendant a party to that
frau)! ? And would the. defendant's story of taking
copies of /those letters, as they were left with hiii);;
go down with a baby ? It rested:simply upon the
defendant's allegation, and certainly had no weight
itself. In this ,case the Auto ne) -.General :could
hot, as he usnatly did, ask the Court to- mi-asure the
dcfendaPl's ptioishmeto by his guilt ; for there was no
degree of punishment in the power of this Court
which was at all commensurate with the iniquity of
Dilveripdrt Sedley. ,
Mr. GAIIIIOW, on the satire side,,urged the in-
diction of this whole_ stripe poniihment. The defen-
d.int has said, that Meyer hid received a scar in the
cheek from a brick Which had been thrown at him

THE MODEL OF THE NEU: THEATRE,

DRURY-L.IXE.

It wis not withont good reason, that the Corn-' •
mittee on the Drury •laue concur() paid many hand-
some compliments to the talents ot our British
Artists, who submitted to their. choice the several
designs for the. construttion of t:te new Theatre,.
Perhaps there never was a compoition in which a
greater variety *of genius and ability was di•played,.
and in which, while it did th:t utmo-t credit to.the .
individual competitors, and the national chart ter
for excellence in'the arts, at the same imposed upon
those, who were to decode the ques ion of prece•
dence, one of the most severe tasks that can be ima-
gined. After much deltberattoe,.they fixed ou the
work of Mr. B. \Volt, as twst adapted to answer
the views of the Subscribers-in willing elegance
with economy, and glace with. conveniencv. It is
this model s hich we are about to descithe, and
which pre-eminently combines almost every advan-
tage and comfort, which the public would require in
a theatre. In • its external. appearance; the new
Theatre will be more remarkable fur simplicity t ham
grandeur of style. "'The 'superior put, and that
which will be most visible from the bridges, and
other quarters of the motropolis, is in the form of a
horse-shoe. This is the great body of the building, .
and surmounts the whole of the audience part nu-
thing of the roof appears, but only a plain, massy
louking wall
.with a cornice,' which gives the
Ire on air of strength and solidity, by no tneans in•
consistent with beauty and eti-41. The two points
of this horse-shoe are, of course, towards Drury-
lane ; and the sethicircular aspeci towards Bridges-
street. On this side, and inferior to the part of the
building just described, is tire grand entrance to the
house,. as in the late Theatre, lt consists, in the'
mode*., off-the following Parts; but we have heard
that the calonade is dependent on the state of the
subscriptiOns, and if it is' nor tilted up in a given
time, must be superseded by a porch, which would
be much to b.- lamented; as'the tormu has -tuvely
nob:.'Lliul classical appearance. The model presents
this tine colonade facing Bridges-street, and-resting
no a s,,:ries .eight be:.utrlid eolemns. Its inferior
and opposite side otters three doOrs to the company
entering the Theatre.' These door,s lead into a very
eapacieus hall, where, its w;..11 rislit the portico (if
the space uotrr the yoot of the 6610 t-ride may be so'
called), the servants bt•lungio'g to the audience may
attend, secured trr,tn the %vatlier, w.bile waiting the

Imanediately fronting tire centre door, on enter-
ing the in proceediug towards the audience
part of the horse another lar4e dOoi, wt: rib, at-
ter tin company has crossed, introduceS them to a
rotunda, hunt which the vaiiints ways of adMiSsion
tO' whatever part of the Theatre they mean to visit,
are open to their choice. This rotunda has trot
nit?), an excellent etfett,.as", imparting splendOur,
novelty, and' 'beauty'to, the Theatre, but alsO-atr-
swcrs a Mg's! uselnl and deiirable purpose, here
after to be rxplained.. 'lt is in:itself eitretriely
handsome, a it ascends without interruption to the
root, and is nearly as high as the tsars building.
A dorrie or cuprilajs its suonnit, and a fine he'rni-
s;:beridal, hothern 'admits the light. On what may
be. termed the teat floor, 'horizontal with the dress
circle, there i; a passage :tinning round the inside
of the cupola, in which about tour persons 'may
walk abreast, and which leads to the Saloon. This
SolOnn is a spacious room over the hall, and intend-
ed to be surpassing in adornMent ind'eleganee, It
is of the same dimensions as the had beneath ; and
corresponding with the two smaller square apart»
yrients helnw ; at either-end oft he hail are ewe si-•
m
tnilar in size, but more ormenial, ittached to the
saloon ab,ye, to be appropriated to the sale of fruits
and other refreshments.

In looking up from the floor of the rotunda, the.
company passing.to and from the saloon will be
seen on' the inside passage, By thi: excellent, at,-
tangement, it will be seen that the whole of the
diaine,ter of the rotunda is interposed between the
•boxes and the company hi the saloon, a point which
every advoceite for morality, decency,, and :virtue,
Inns, rej,iice at the accomphihment of. There, is
no occasion for'the slightest connnunication, with
this obnoxious, though in the present state of man-
ners indispensable, part of a public theatre, more
than may be desired by the parties concerned. We
cannot avoid here pausing on our detail, to congra-
tulate the public on the: remedy thus presented to
one of the most formidable eOls attendant on the
desire of modest Jemalei to eojoy 'the pleastnes of
the drama, It has heresolore been in yain that the
stage offered mom' instruttions and virtuous exam-
ples, while the lobbies through which our ,Wives and
daughters were compelled -to pass, chased the best
.impressions from their minds, atid contaminated
their porky by the gross licentiousness and ribaldry,
from 1110 view and fearing of which was impos
sible to escape, and which being only seen and
-heard Inkht hate the consequence of ,sullying the
brightest virtue.

Mr. Wyatt deserves and has our warmest ,ac-
knowledgments for his ingenuity iu etreeting,
'Manlier not only congenial with, but ornamental, to
the general design, the king wished for Objeti of a
separation between those classes of the visitors to a
Theatre, which ought not to be'intermingled and
also for the removal of the seat of noise, Dolly, and
confusion, from the quiet 01 the audiecce

turn to descriptior On the right and left Of the
rotunda (i. e. as you enter) are entrances tolobbies,
somewhat similar to the square-r9oms ad:11,4141g the
hall, bat with this deerende, that the use of the
latter is to attord passage's of communication around
the tower pats of the Theatre, and of the hit-mei,.
to insert the stairs whiCh lead to all the boxes.—'
From these lobbies the stairs ascend in a manner
not easily to be described on paper (as indeed it
must be obeiotti to the reader, that to give a definite.

Having, we trust, made the reader acquainted.
with the externals of the intended New Theatre,

only to add an account of its internalappearance,
both with, respect to the stage and the-andiecce
part. We • hall bt-titi with the 414, of which no-
thing occurolo us 16 motice, but that it is smaller
than the pit of Covent-garden Theatre, and more
on a level with its entrances., • There are no 'steep
steps necessary to enable th:..compativ to reach their
seats. From the stage to the back.of t:ae dress-
boxes, the space is sixteen feet less that) in Covent-
garden, and between box and box, across the pit,

have only to add, that all these tiers of boXes are
free; the only private boxes being those already
specifird, the pit boxes. The area of the boxes is
like the main building, in the fofiu of a horse-shoe,
but a very happy amendment is in:rodneed at the •
terminatinn of the points on each side of the stage.
