M. EDITO3-There is an old adage, that
" the Devil speaks truth) sometimes ;" and there
is another which, to a liberal mind, cannot be
unpleasing, " Give the Devil his due I" Aciing
on this principle, f stand tortvard tti do justice,
not actually to his Diab,,lical 411Ajesty, don't
mean NAY, but to another Gentlemau whom you
have rubbed devilish h fur smite time rust,

forgetting that, as " those way laugh who win,
so those who lose way grid," and bear it, if they

can.

Sir, you have recently accused the Morning
Chronicle of want of candour. " Mind that, Mr.
Ford ;"—The Morning Chronicle ! a Paper that
always most candidly tells more than the errors of
i's opponents, - and which, on Wednesday the
12th, not the Ist, of April, bas, with becoming
liberali,y-, spoken the truth of its friends !!!
You are no doubt surprised, Mr. Editor, and so
was I ; but truth will out. Speaking of a pro.
pyserl Income Tax, this liberal P.iper very intro.'
een;ly observes, " lie have learned (win severe
experience, how artfully and gradually Ministers
proceed frog► little to great,, when once they de-
lude Parliament, by sacred professions, to trust
them."

Now, Sir, in this confessional sentence, one
word only has been omitted—WHlG Ministers—
not that I accuse those talented Gentlemen of
going Jctual;y from Little to GREAT, except in
one instance, to which this confessional most
strictly applies ; but who can be Wind to the
tt nth of that paragraph, who remembers how the
Whig Ministers jumped froth an Income Tax of
per cent. to one Of TEN, th't is,
.as far as re-
garded the GREAT, but Irom ONR, to TEN per
cent, as regarded the Little.? No, , Sir, tviJ you
doubt the " severe experience" of the gi,od peo-
ple of England, or the candour of the Chronicle P

MysTErtious •-rotiv.—The following strange
and mysterious story is in circulation in the
neighbourhood of Keuningliall, but we will irtt
attempt to vouch for its authority. One Oght
last week, as a servent of Mr. Palmer, of Ban-
barn, was driving a loaded waggon, with corn,
to be delivered at Thetford, in passing the plan-
tations at Eccles, about two in the morning, he
saw a man rogaged in digging a place in the
earth, apparently for the purpose of a grave, in
which some person was to be interred ;, he went
up to him and questioned hint as to his iiitenlions,
in being so employed in such a place (uot less
than a mile distant from any dwelling) at such an
hour ; and not receiving any satisfactory answer,
he bad the presence of mind to call aloud, as it
to some person whom he had left with the wag-
gon, saying, " As we are two of us, we can mas-
ter him ;''' which so much intimidated- the man
who, was digging, that he immediately fled into
the plantation, leaving behind him the spade mod
a good great -coat, which the waggon-driver took
tip and.pat into his waggon, and proceeded to-
wards Thetford. fie had not gone far when he
met a young woman, and he asked her where she
was going at such an unseasonable hour ; she
told him that site had an appointment to meet a
young manyby ,m she was pregnant, and be-
gun to bewail herself bitterly; but the man per-
snadA her to rett4o back, telling her that he
suspected the, person she intended to have met
bad no wood desighs towards her, and then related
what he ;tali seen, she„wittg Litr by the light of
the moon the great coat, which she instantly re-
Cognized as that of the person in question, from
which ,it has been conjectured that his intentions
in decoying her to that solitat y place, at that
time, were. to have murdered her, and buried her lii

sons on Sunday last went to look at from Ken-

peculiar affability and attention marked the de-
portment of the KING to the Chief Magistrate of

COURT OF KING'S-BENCH, APRIL 14.
LIBEL. .
CLEARY V. STODDART AND OTHERS.
This aetLnt was brought by Mr. Cleary, the
conveyancer, against Dr. Stoddart, and others
connected with the New Times, for the publica-
tion of an alleged libel. The declaration charger'
the defendants with publishing the above Paper
of the '2B,h of November, ISIS, a letter, intput-
iug, that the plaintiff had been guilty of linnatut
al
practices ; anti that he was supported and Tulin-.
rained by the same. The letter was addressed to
sir Francis Burdett, and signed " Henry 110nt.7
Mr. BrtouGnAm stated the case to the ittry,
awl represented the libel to be one which exceed..
ed the sting of any publication he had seen it; the
course of his experience. He adverted to the
time when Major Cartwright stood forward a Can:::
ditlate for Westminster. Mr. Cleat yon that oc-
casion came ist contact with Hunt. During the
contest a letter was read on the Hustings by
Cleary. It was from Cobbett, and no intlividull
doubted it was mitten by that person.
however, denied the fact, and addressed a letter
to Sir F. Burdett on the subject. In that letter,
after some comments no the conduct of sir F.
Burdett, he alluded to ',Nit.. Cleary, charged
with forging the let ter, and secondly, with 'a crime
before which forgery sunk to nothing. Ile %vad
enare,ed wi;11 practices so vile and ttnuatnral, that
Mr. Broogham could not enlarge upon the sub-
ject. Ile was to be told it was Hoot's hitch anti
not Dr. Stodtiatt's, but that, in law, wouid be no

answer to the action.
James Mallison, from the Stamp-office, pro»
dncecl the New Times of the 20 h of November,

1818.
Hunt's le.ter was then put in and read. It was
dated the 22d of April.
It alluded to , Cobbett's letter, accused Mr.
Cleary of forgery, and applied to him ;be name of

kept man mitsrees.
SCARLETT requested a paragraph in the
New Times might he rt ad, in which Dr. Sioddart
stated, that the letter was not written by him,
but Hunt. _ .

The CHIEF JUSTICE held the reading • of the
same to be irregular.
Mr. John Wright deposed, that he had known
Mr. Cleary some time. He knew there was such
a person as L-lenry Hunt.. He had known him.
called in a Paper " Henry the Ninth." The
letter evlmiCh Mr. Cleary was accused of forging,
was wiitten by Cohbett. (leafy and Hoot had
been in.the habit of writing letters to each other.
11e bad never heard Mr. Cleary was living
wi i 1
a mistress.
SCAULETT rose to address. the Jury, and
first complained of delay on the part of the plain-
:A in bringing time action..
• Mr. BROUGHAM then called Major Cartwright'
to prove the delay was occasioned by the bad state
of Mr. Clcary's health.
Maio! CARTWRIGHT said, Mr. Cleary was 41 a
delicate state of health. In 1818, his health was
so bad that witness invited him to his house at
Tunbridge. His illness was a paralytic shock.
Mr. SCARIATT then continued his address to the
Jury. The alleged libel was not written by Dr.
Stoddart ; it was Mr. Hunt's libel, and lhe
plain-
tiff had omitted biinging his action against Hunt
for :the purpose of prt.ssing for heavy damages
against the defendants. As well :night :he Gre-
cian heroes, Agamemnon and Achilles, complain
to old [looser (if the parties were hying), for
words uttered by Thersites. Hunt was the person
of whom the plaintiff ought to complain.—Mr.
Scarlett then conrended, that the meaning the
plaintiff had affixed to the words was not a right
interpretation. The words " kept Mall mistress"
implied that the plaintiff was admired by the La-
dies, and in the habit of receiving rcuniary fa-
vours. Mr. Scarlett read a passage from an old
Play written by Reaninont and Fletcher, entitled
'' Custom ut the Cotintry," and proved. by the
language, which was too broad and indelicate to
quote here, that manytistress meant a man kept by
a Lady. Dr. Stoddart did not know Mr. Cleary,
and certainly never had supposed the letter con-
veyed the imputation stated-in the declaration.
The CHIBII JUSTICE said, the qnestion k vas,
whether the paragraph imputed. to Mr. Cleary
'unnatural practices, or whether it meant to charge
him with being the visitor of females, and re-
ceiving presents from them - return? He re-
minded the Jury that a celebrated Novelist had
made Tom Jones visit Lady flellaston and re-
ceive pecuniat y favours from her. It the Jury
believed the paragraph imputed similar conduct
to Mr. Cleary, they. ought to find a verdict for
the plaintiff.
The Jury retired from the box at four o'clock,
and at six o'clock sent a letter, stating they conic[
not -agree. The letter was read, by the Judge's
Associate, who communicated the contents to the
parties. One party was willing to withdraw
Juror, the other would not. About eight o'clock
the Jury came into Court, and found a vet diet
for the plaintiff—Damages 1001.

At the Warwick Assizes on Monday, Ann Hey-
trey, aged 22, was convicted of the murder of
Iter
mtstiess, Mrs Sarah Dormer, of Ashton, and was
executed on Wednesday.

the Dublin Theatre for the benefit of the per-
tormers who have been such heavrsarters under

Sheriff Pullen, Mr. Broevo '(G if.ler of New.

and Mr. Blown (the Deploy Marshal), a:Heed
at the Tower,. and were immediately introduced
to the reident Governor, Major J. H. Elriugion,
who had been apprised of their corning, and Irad
given directions to the IVarders to have Omit-
' pmoners in remtiness. A numerous detachment
of Life Guards soon afterwards arrived HT, the
tostress, and these were followed by Lavender,
Salmon, Taunfoti, Ellis, Nichol-IS, Smith, Morris,
surd other Bow-street Officers, in seven carriages,
which were-engaged on the Occasion,:
At seven o'clock, every thing being in readi-
ness, directions were given to the, Warders to
bring fotth their prisoners. The prisoners were,
filet) cro.ducted separately front their respective
places at confiocment between two Warders into
the court. yalsi, where they were delivered to the
proper 'Officers in waiting, by whom they were
handcuffed. While Lavender was placing the
'handetilf. on Thistlewood lie was greatly agitated,
and ire, .'led exceedingly. • Their names were
'called.over from the writs, and Mr. Brown (the
-Gaoler of Newgate), •was thus enabled to recog.
nice their persons. They were all perfectly silent
`nittil about to depart, when they expressed their
thanks to the Warders for the homaim attention
which they had received. The whole being now
assembled, they were marched, each between two
804--street Ofikers, to the Fosse Gate, beyond
which the carriages had' been drawn up. Mist le-
wood was placed in the firs! carriage, and was
Hoed by Lavender and lvticiiNher Officers. The
remaining prisoners Were each placed in a separate
carriage, and also attended by three Bow-street
Officers. Every thing being in readiness, the
cavalcade moved offiu the following order :
Mr. Watutier, Chief City Marstial, on horse-
his staff, and in •his full uniform,..to_
I. ads the way.
A troop of Life Guards.

The private carriage of Mr. Sheriff Rothwell,
in wni, h Isere that Gentletnitn, and Mespr,,
ner and Pnlien, the Senior and Junior Under-
Stseritis.

A ps ivate catriege, in which was Mr. Brown,
the Gaoler of Netvgate.
Seven carriages, containing the prisoners—
Thistiewood iii the firs?, followed in succession
by Jugs, Harrison, Davison, Brunt, 'J'idd, and
Wils,,o.
Mr. Brown, the Deputy Marshal.

A troop o, Life Guards brought up the rear.
The carriages were flanked on each side by
Horse Gu4rds in single flu. Not wiihstanding
the early hour of the morning, and the secrecy
wiffi which the removal was so prudently con-
duced, as the carriages issued from -the Tower-
gates, an itymense throng had assembled to wit-
ness ;tisk departure; but the utmost order pre-

The cavalcade shaped its course across Tower-.
hill, by Savage-gardens to Leadenhatl-street,
through Cornhill, the Poultry, Cheapside, St,
Paul's Church ,yard. Ludgate-1101, and up the Old
Bailey proceeded at a brisk trot, and col_
lected in its way a considerable concourse of spec-,
tators, who were anxious to caul) a glimpse of.
men whose machinations had excited sucbuniver-
sal altOni.

In the gaol of Newgate, the -Marshal's men
and a large hody of constables were assembled at
seven o'clock, for the purpose of preserving or-.
der; and when at twenty minutes before eight,
it was announced that the prisoners were ap-'
proaching, they sallied forth, and formed a half-
moon in front of the felons' door. In a few se-
conds afterwards the Horse Giards turned the
corner of the Old Bailey, and rude up to the pri-
son. Mr. Sheriff Roth well and the Under Sheriff
drove up to the private door of Mr. Brown's.house,
and obtained admission to the gaol by that means.
'rhe prisoners alighted at the felons' door, and
were received by the chief turnkey. Tbistlewood,
as be went up the steps, appeare4 greatly de-
jected, as did lags, Tidd, and Btont. David-
son,
Harrison, and Wilson, seemed to maintain
their confidence. Davidson bad a.smile upon his
countenance. On entering the prison be joined
Tbistlewood and Jugs, and in a tune of levity
asked them how they were Z He went ors to say,
" d—n me, I hope you are none of you afraid. I
have no tear. I have often been in danger before
without fear, and 1 am not afraid flow." Thistle-
wood made no reply ; he was absorbed in his wan
reflections. Davidson ptbeeeded to say, " he
hoped they were coming to as good Charters as ,
they had left—he had lived well (he said,) he had
laughed. and danced, and sung, and kissed the
girls when they brought him any thing, and he
so is very balmy." logs, in answer to this, said,
" no had done very well, and he believed he was
a stone heavier titan when be was committed."—
Peaktars, the Junior Sheriff, bad now reach-
ed thtr prison. Hr had arrived at .the Towergste
u wpiaehack, just as the bead of the cavalcade
'.tai, coming forth and folio wed I; to Newsate,,

lie expressed much sorpre thsi‘t he had not been
consnited on the' ocea4on. On witite‘sing the
levity of Davidson, he reproved him for his eon-
&let, and cape(' to his mind the precarious situa-
two io which he stood. Ti.N seemed to have a
proper ► ffect. indeed, the hat dittood which-that
man evinced appeared to he rather the effect of
an .assumed courage-than the real tone of his
mind.

The ptisonerit tvere ultimately enniltietvd to the
cells which had been preti.usFy prepared f,ir their
rveepiion ; and the whiiie being thtis safely de-
livered to ,the proper tanthrniiies, the Hcirie
Guards, the temper eon regeol4rif y velnese move-

The Sheriffs subsequently breakfaSted in the
LOHD MACS 7 YOpAdour, at the Sessions-house.
The prisoners c`onfined in the House of Corree•
pion ware removed :o Newgatr in the atternoon.
, It would seem, that as yet no settled vrange-
(item has been n,t,le as to the Counsel %vim are to
defend the prisoners. .Mr. Curwood is the only
per!.on retained. We understood that Mr. Ser•
irant Lens, aml Mr. Brougham, from the pies
sore of their other busioesti, have declined the
task. Mr. Penman, who has aka been mention-
ed, is nut Of town, and will not return till Sun-
day, a prriod too 14te .to under:6l:e so heavy 11
hnrge. Upon whom, therefore, will devolve the
important duty yet undecided.

The pri•ioneri will be arra4r,ned before the
Serial CommisAion at the Old 13,ttley, this' morn.
ing at ten o'clock. The trials will Commence on
Mondry.
It wds last night stated that•the Counsel AC-
twdly retained fur the ptisonets are, Mr. Ado'.
plin4, Mr. Fredetick Pollock, aud Mr. Cur Wood.
The wives and otherrelat ives of these prisoners,
now confined in Ne,vgate, vitig.yesterday_rnorn-
ing been refused admission by Mr. Brown, the
Keeper', they applied to-Lord Siamotith for orders
to he admitted every evening during the trial,
After waiting so"ne time in !be lobby of the Home
Department; milers were granted to 'Mrs. Tli,istle•
wood, Mrs. Wilson, and to others, who accord-
ingly saw their husbands last night.
In order to prevent any disturbance of a serious
nature taking place..a further precaution had been
taken. A detachment of the LoOrdnn Milnia ar-
rived in the course of the afternoon at Netvgnte,
and will continue there until the whole of the
trials are concluded.

La9t evening the Committee for defendinz the
prisoners, sat at the Croton anti. Anchor. King's

advice. This is the last—yes, the last of all. My friends, you
all know well that my principles has been the cathe of my
death. You all know that I have chilled .the future rewards
and punishments due to sin—Yes, strove to make as many in-
fidels as I could. You have been eys-witne.,es to my fear-
less principles; you know that I hared n• God nor
man. My dear friends, f am happy to t► ill I am hear. I
hop:Lit-will be a blessing boil to you and rue,— ,t the )1•0,1-ds

T am going to tell ynn strack your heart and. soul with de-
light, and, when you hear it, believe it is true, I will tell
you nn falsity now. After I was renterice to death I came
out of the Court laughing, thinking I would be soon quiet—
thinking that both spill and body would be soon dead. All that
grieved me was to think that a inoocent man should suffer for
my transgressions. My dear friends, I come into my sell, and
in a little after a roan come into my sell, and in a little after a
;man come into me, and begun to Speak to me about my soul. I
' laughed at hint; he asked to pray by me, but I told him I
wanted no priestcraft about me. He reasoned very fairly,
and said he was no priest, and got me to consent to _kneel
down. He prayed, and pointed out Christ to me, home I
have oft times denied in such a manner, that I began to have
a doubt of my own principles. After he went out of my sell.
I kneeled down by my bedside, and asked God for pardon if I
was wrong, and begged for the truth. My dear friends, I said
no more, for I was speechless. I fell down on my fase to the
ground, and if ever Christ was revealed to man, be was reveal-
ed to me, I see the ,necessity of Christ. I see (saw) the future
rewards and punishments. I see as it were Hell gaping for
me, and all this time I did not speak a word. I was seized
with such a horror to think I bad been so far deluded that I
lay on the ground for f dare say a hour, in such a state of
madness, that it was most shocking-10 see the tears run down
my hardened check. I sled and groped and seen all my sins
• before me. Se my dear friends rejoice that God has been so
kind to me, to reslll himself to strata wretch at the last
hours. Nly dear friends, trifle no 10m:c.f.i.—look to me—look
to your selves—disbeiieve no more. Pray to God sincerely
for the truth—pray for me, It nd thirtk it a blessing that I

fur my body again Saturanday, I could wish you to bring me
some old close to be executed in—l could wish you to have my
close to keep in remembrance of me, and when you see-them
think on me—don't grieve for me, rejoice for my relase, and
think of meeting me in everlasting bliss. You will have one
thing to do for me, and don't fail, and that is pay Andrew
Manroe the S-am of thirty shillings. You may pay them as
you fie will take it a shilling a time. Now my friends
will ire•leippy: . I My love to Hary Gallamore and to
the other two men, 'and to all my friends both small and
r,-rear, and ask pardon Of .those I have led astray by my false
doctrine—So a doe—a due" rerimeober use.
