. Mr. Evasss InVied for si Rule to shier eatise wh
there should licit be a new.trial id the ease o Thomas
Dolby, tehis had been_ onvicfed of a libel fol 061
lishing the Political Dictionary. The gibilnd On
which he urged it was, that the' Jury, being A
Special onek only a feW attended ; that the numbei
was made twelve out of a number of persons stun=
moned previously by the Coroner, the Sheriff being
held not competent to do m, being a subscriber to the
Society commonly called. the Bridge-street Societys
—He contended that the course here pursued by the
Coroner was iriegulai-, inasmuch as that he might
have chosen whom he pleased for the trial of a cause; '
who night by possilrility be biassed, and there might
hot he a due administration of justice. He quoted
'the 4'2d of EJward I:I. which provides that no Jury
shall try a cause unless the panel shall have been
viewed by the party six days before the trial; and
tl a on the authority of (7th Hawkins, 577, sect 21;
which it k laid down that this Statute extends to
cases of Aisi Prius. He further contended that tales

circumsianbus meant those only who happened to
be bystanders in Court at the time when the names
of the Special Juty were called over; and there sot
being twelve present, he considered this as a
packed Jury. •
Mr. Justice B* ttiliTo..-el You call it a packediuty I'
and so it is, in one sense, but not in an invidious sense.

It is a Jury summoned, befoiehand, of persons dolt
qualified to serve on Juries."
The CHIEF JUSTICE.—" Yon use it in a sense td
'which it is not applicable. Go on in gout argument
on the re's of the case." "-
Mr. EVANs contended that the Constitution sm.:.
pected everybody, ai.d that where men posses,
power to act corruptly they will do so.
Mr. Justice BAY LEY asked if the Coroner took an
oath of office?—Being answe;ed in the affirmativei
he asked if it was nut harsh to impute corruption
'to him?
Mr. Justice BEST o!)served, that as the Coroner
was elected by the Freeholders of the County/ the
presumption was in favour of his integrity.
Mr. EVANS proceeded in his argument at consi:
derable length. He contended another point, which
was, that the Sheriff was the person who ought to
have returned the Special Jury, which was never
challenged, nor could, by law; be challenged ; for
which he quoted the authority of the case of the
King and Edrnonds,43l)l3.trnwell and Alderson, 1,71 a
He quoted also, 2d Venti is, 173. He contended that
this was not a public prosecution, but a prosecution
carried on by piivate individuals, who acted on a
political bias, &c. and not to be at all favoured by a
Court of Justice.
The JUDGES having consulted awhile, after which
the Cuter JUSTICE abided by the opinion which he
entertained at the trial; hut finally, for the sake of
fully discussing every pt:int on the Trial by Juryj
granted the Rule to spew cause. The other Judges
made no remat ks.

Mr. HUNT'S entry into London on Monday will
give much work to some of the Treading Mills, as
yesterday, and the day befo:e, a number of noto4

nous pic pocZeis and mhos were committed from the
several Police-Offices, as reputed thieves, and seri&
tented to hard labour, pursuant to law.
We are requested by 11r. PARKINS to state, that
his presiding at .Nrr. liusT's libercion dinner on
Monday, was purely accidental: Mr. PARKINS rode

out to Islington that marling, " when," says' he,
" on my return down the City-road, I Met Mrs
HUNTS Procession, where I was soon recognised, not
by Nlr. HUNT or his friends in the carriages, but by
the people on foot, who cheered me, supposing I
formtd part of the cavalcade, and seized the reins of
my hor,e, and so t:sed nee and my servant in the

crowd, that we were conducted, vi:et-annis, fbr the
first time, to the Eagle Tavern, and there I was
pressed, in opposition to all my remonstrances to the

Those parts of the c unty Kildare, in the neig/
bou: hood of Rathangan, Kildare, and Rubertstowri
have for the last-two months been much alarmed, in
consequence of large armed parties, on foot and on
horseback, patroling the country at night and forcing
their oaths of association on every person they can
possibly inflaence to take them.
Friday, the Ist inst. D. FITZGERALD went to thd
house of his father-in•law, the Rev. Mr. Cnoxert, at

ing, accompanied by 'Francis M.lnnes, a police-man,
and a party of the army, for the purpose of executing

servants. The hall-door was locked; the party knocked;
and t,:ld their busines%, but were refused admittance:
Dr. FITZGERALD knowing the house, went to the
back door, where he got entrance into the hall. He
was instantly attacked by all the servants, when he
called for assistance, and the police immediately forced
the door, a shot was then filed which killed Mimes:
911 the servants were arrested. An Inquest was held
on Sunday and Monday (the 3d and 4th inst,) on the

LA IV INTELLIGENCE.

:u,

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, NOVEMBER 12.
PRIZE.
A cart harness, fire mules, one barrel of beef, and
one barrel of pork, found in one of the West India
islands by a boat's crew, under circumstances im-
plying a breach of the itevenne laws, were, on the
application of his Majesty's Advocate, condemnefas
good and lataful prize, and a warrant for disttibtiMo
of the proceeds was directed to be issued.
THE SUIP COMPETITOR.
Dr, Gosanao stated, that some time since this ship
and her freight were arrested on a bottomry bond.—
The affidavit which was last Courta.lay read to the
Court, the Court was pleased to declare insufficient,
because the mime of the owner was therein omitted.
That defect being now supplied in the affidavit of
Robert Dent, a partner in the house of Richard.,
Macintosh, Law, and Co. of London, merchants, the
Learned Counsel prayed that in this cause the Court
would direct a perishable monition, as well as a de-
cree of appraisement, tc go out.—Ordered.
THOMSON D. FRASER.
This was a suit instituted for the purpose of reco-,
vering a certain proportion of the value of the pro-
ceeds arising, from the sale of a Spanisda vessel and its
cargo, which were taken possession of by Captain
Thomson, the claimant, near Buenos Ayres, in the
year 1806.—1 t appeared by the pleadings and affi-
davits, that on the oapture of Buenos Ayres, in June,
1806, by Sir Home Popham. and General Beresford,
the British fleet was immediately withdrawn to hicnite
Video, and that but one vessel, the brig Pegasus,
under the command of Captain (then Lieutenant)
Thomson, previously of the Narcissus, was left be-
hind, with a view to the conveyance of stores, &c.—
Tae Pegasus mounted twelve guns, and was lying at
anchor on the" Bth of July, when a polacca was ob-
served entering the roadstead, and coming with a
strong wind up the river. This proved to be a
Spanish tuerchantman, named La Eseeranza, which
p aatied her course, and came to an anchor at a short
distance from the Cat, thea commanded by General,
stow Lord Beresford, who had directed the British
colours to be tarn down. Captain Thomson, who
was on shore, offered to go and take -possession of
her in a launch or barge, if Gore:nor Beresford
would supply him with twenty men, notwithstanding
the roughness of the weather and the violence of the
surf. He was accordingly so supalied, and he pro-
ceeded to board and take possession without resist-
aace. In 1813, a warrant of distribution was ob-
tained from the Treasury, and Mr. A. Fraser entrusted
ith the agency. This Gentleman was appointed to
prepare a scheme of distribution, which, if not satis-
factory to the parties, was to remain subject to any
alteration that Court should think just and equitable,
under ali the circumstances. The agent had followed
cite precedent formed by the division of the booty
taken at Buenos Ayres, and had treated the capture
of La Esperanza as the result of a conjoint effort by.
the land as well as the sea force, immediately en-
gaged in that transaction.
Dr.LUSIIINGTON and Dr. Donsos maintained that
the whole or greater part of the property in question
belonged of right to Captain Thomson, instead of that
paltry sum which the proposed method of distribu-
tion would assign him. There was no effectual con-
tradiction to what he had sworn ; be was the Officer
left by Sir Home Popham charged, with the execution
of all naval duties after the Neptune had been re-
moved. The Pegasus was lying in the roadstead
when the polacca entered it, and the latter had been
condemned as prize. What the Court bad how to
consider was, how the surrender had been effected ?
It was sworn that the Pegasus was lying about half
a mile from the fort, under Lieutenant Bishop's com-
mand, when the polacca was observed. The British
ship bad no colours but a man of war's pendant fly-
ing. As the Spanish vessel passed her she fired a
musket shot, and compelled the polacca to come to
an anchor on her starboard bow. In this statement
Captain Thomson and Lieutenant Bishop confirmed
each other, and very loose affidavits of Lord Beres-
ford and his Aid-de-Camp, Sir It. Arbuthnot, could
not be said to impeach their credit. Such being the
facts, what were the legal consequences ? It had
been laid down by a high authority, that of his Lord-
ship himself (Lord Stowell), in the case of the Edward
and Mary, to be found in the third volume of Sir C.
Robinson's Reports, and in which the question was—
whether salvage was due where the vessel was never
boarded by the actual captor ?—that, to bring a vex-!
sel under the captor's dominion, it was not necessary,
though usual, to appoint a- prize master. Now it
must be admitted that in effecting the capture, in this
instance, the merit of Lord Bereslbrd was very trivial
compared with that of Capt. Thomson, who was at that
time in the uncontrouled command of the Pegasus.
The former had taken down the British, and hoisted
Spanish colours; had ordered the guns vibe pointed at
the polacca, and had furnished the barge with 20 men
trained to the use of small arms. lie had deposed that
the Esperanza could not have escaped afterthese his ar-
rangements, blowing its the wind then did up the river.
This was, however, a matter of opinion, and the two
Naval Officers thought differently. They stated that
she came up with the wind on her larboard,and might,
if she had not been fired at from the Pegasus, have es-
caped down the river with the wind on her starboard.
Two English vessels had since escaped from the same
spot, notwithstanding a heavy fire from the battery.
Surely *then it would be manifestly unjust to let in
the garrison, which was two miles and a half distant,
to a participation in a prize thus completely cap-
tured and taken possession of by Captain Thomson
and the men under his command. To adopt such a
scheme of extended distribution would be to allot to
Lord Beresford the sum of 1251.. to Captain Thom-
son, who had risked his life in the capture, 71. 2s. to
Mr. Bishop, 11. 4s. BJ. and, to each of tire seamen,
4s. 10d. Lord Beiesford's second affidavit proved
how much his memory might sometimes betray him,
but the statement of Captain Thomson was clear and
consistent. It was therefore hoped that his Lordship
would direct the sum of 1,1001. or the larger portion
of the proceeds, to be paid to him.
Dr. ARNOLD and Dr. Pntaatatoaz, on the other
contended that the polacca was taken by sur-
• prise, and did not surrender to what ahe believed to
be a hostile force, nor in obedience to a hostile spm-
nsoas. She yielded to what she thought was a visit or
or der from the police. Without controverting the recent
doctrine of that Court, this circumstance was sufficient

_ .

to distinguish this from thee-lee tf"-thitidw tea and
Mary. Captain Thomson had shared in thtiooty
taken at the conquest of Buenos-Ayres; nor etas it
till hls return to England that he set up his patient
claim. All that had been here done by the Pegasttswas
to fire a single musket shot, and even that fact rested
OD the affidavit of Mr. Bishop. The Court had here:.
tofore held that the mere performance of an officer's
duty did not entitle him to share in prize Money, and
the present capture was effected without resistance,
by means of*a barge and men supplied by Governor
Beresford. The Learned Gentleman submitted, there-
fore, that under all these circumstances the proposed
distribution was the just and proper scheme.
Dr. LUSHINGTON replied.—Judgment deferred.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER 12.
THE KING V. lIALSE. •
• This was an indictment against the defendant for
alleged bribery at the last election for the Borough
of St. Ives, and at the trial before Mi. Justice Rich-
ardson, at the last Assizes for Cornwall, the defend-
ant was found Guilty.
Mr. Serjeant PELL now moved for a Rule to shew
cause why the verdict should not he set aside and a
new trial granted on the ground of surprise. There
had been three indictments against the. defendant for
similar offences, in which notice tif trial had been
given for the last-Assizes at Bodmin, and the defend-
ant had used his best exertions to prepare for his de-
fence to the first two, but had not directed his attention
to the third, conceiving it .not likely that it would
he brought to trial ; but just before the Commission
Day the prosecutors countermanded notice of trial in
the first two, and proceeded with the third indict-
ment, to defend which the defendant was not so well
prepared as if he had had more time. These cir-
cumstances were now urged as affording grounds for a
new trial. The Learned Counsel also produced affi-
-1 davits of important facts which the defendant would
have been enabled to adduce on the trial, material to
his defence, had he not been surprised by the course
which the prosecutors had adopted.
The COURT said they would grant a Rule Nisi,
but with great reluctance, inasmuch as they were by
no means disposed to encourage the practice which
this case might introduce, of a party taking his
chance of a trial, and then, finding that the verdict
was against him, coming to the Court to apply for a
new trial ; but, however, as the affidavits disclosed
circumstances establishing a ground to suppose that
there was something incorrect in the evidence for the
prosecution, there seemed reason for calling oar the
prosecutors to answer the affidavits.—Rule granted.
PENN V. WHATCOTE AND OTHERS.
This was an action of trespass and false imprison-
ment, tried at the last Assizes for Warwickshire, be-
fore Mr. Baron Graham, when a verdict was found
for the plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing.
The COMMON SERJEANT now moved to enter a
nonsuit. The defendants, one of whom was a con-
stable, pleaded—first, not guilty, and second, justi.
fled the imprisonment under the 1 Geo. IV. c. 56, on
the ground that the plaintiff was guilty of a- mali-
cious injury, in firing a loaded gun into the shop of
one of the defendants, and breaking a great number
of panes of gins!. The Statute in question authorises
the apprehension of the offender without a Magis•
crates warrant. It appeared that the injury alleged
to have been committed by the plaintiff took place
on a Saturday night when the shop was full of peo-
ple, whose lives were endangered. On the Monday
morning following the plaintiff was identified as the
culprit, apprehended without a warrant, and brought
before a Justice on a charge of felony ; but the latter,
conceiving that the offence did not amount to felony,
suggested the milder course of- proceeding against
the plaintiff under the Statute. already referred to,
and the plaintiff being discharged he brought the
present action for false imprisonment, and recovered
a farthing damages, which carries costs. The ques-
tion now intended to be raised was, whether the de-
fendants were not entitled to prove that the plaintiff
was guilty of a felonious act under the general issue,
without pleading the matter specially ?
The Cotner thought the question deserved further
consideration, and therefore granted a Rule faisi.
THE KING V. FIELDER AND ANOTHER.
These defendants were convicted at the late Sit-
tings in Westminster, upon an indictment fcr keeping
a common gaming-house ; and •
Mr. ADOLPHUS now moved on their behalf for
a new trial, the defendants not being present. He
said that the Counsel for the prosecution had con-
sented to dispense with the personal attendance of the
defendants during the motion. -
The COURT, however, interposed, and said that
there was a rule of Court in criminal cases, which
required the personal attendance of the defendants
during a motion fm a new trial. l'he more correct
course was that the defendants should he present.
Mr. ADOLPHUS on this suggestion said, he should
reserve his motion until to-morrow, when the de-
fendants should attend. -
BARN V. ATKINSON.
This was an action for a malicious prosecution for
forgery; in which the' plaintiff was acquitted. At
the trial before the Lord Chief Justice, on the Northern
Circuit, the plaintiff was nonsuited on the ground of
a variiince between the declaration, which recited the
record. of the plaintiff's acquittal on the indictment
for forgery, and the' record itself.
Mr. BROUGHAM now moved to set aside the non-
suit, and obtain a. new trial, contending that the va-
riance upon which the nonsuit proceeded was net
material.—Rule nisi granted.
The Judges rose at two o'clock to attend the prick-
ing for Sheriffs in the Exchequer, for the ensuing year,
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOVEMBER 12.
GRAHAM V. NIXON.

Mr. Serjeaut VAUGIiAN in this case moved for a
Rule to shew cause why the plaintiff's attorney
should not have his full taxed costs, as a verdict for
the plaintiff had passed for O. 10s. The defendant
had compromised the action four days before it came
on in Court, and it was now admitted that the case
was afterwards brot►gl on to entitle the attorney to
full costs.' The question now was, whether the cam-
promise was fraudulent ; fat if not, it vas admitted
that it would be binding.
The COURT were of opinion that nothing of fraud
appeared in the compromise. The most which they
: could now do, was to allow costs as in a case of ski
processes.—Rule refused.
ST. JOHN V. SIR T. CUAMPNEYS, BART.
The Court was occupied until nearly two o'clock
►n heating the arguments of Counsel in this case. It

1
was an application to set aside certain annpities
granted by the defendant. We defer any farther
notice of i t until tbearOuments on both Sides have
been gone through, and judgment given.
At two o'clock their Lordships rose to attend the
LORD CHANCELLOR, the CHANCELLOR Of the Exen ll-
QUE“.*and the other Judges, in the Exchequer Cham-
ber, to prick for Sheriffs for the ensuing year.

BANICR upr LAWS.

An occurrence has lately taken place which evinces
the salutary operation and efficiency of the Bankrupt
Laws, and the promptitude, vigour, and beneficial
effect with which it can and may be prosecuted.
Monday evening, the 4th of November, the Credi-
"tors-of an individual suspected he had absconded, and
a wholesale house in the City struck a docquet against
him. Tuesday, the sth, a Commission of Bankrupt
was sealed against him, and at twelve o'clock the
I Commissioners (Mr. TREBECK, Mr. GouLsotor, and
Mr. SMITH) assembled, opened the Commission, and
issued their summonses to the witnesses who were
likely to prove the bankruptcL; at three o'clock the
same day the Commissioners met again ; the wit.
nesses assembled, and were examined by the Solici-
tor to the Commission for 'several hours ; at eight
o'clock at night the Commissioners declared the party
a bankrupt, And gave a certificate to ground a war-
rant for the apprehension of the bankrupt ; at half-
past nine o'clock the same night the Chief Justice of
the King's Bench issued his warrants for the same,
with which messengers, accompanied by creditors, at
eleven at night set off in different directions. The
bankrupt was traced to Portsmouth, where a mes-
senger and creditor arrived on Wednesday morning
at nine o'clock, and they immediately put to sea in
pursuit, and the same day apprehended the bankrupt
in a pilot boat in the Channel, off the Isle of Wight,
waiting for a ship, which was to have conveyed him to
Van Dieman's Land. The bankrupt was secured and
brought to town in custody of officers and lodged in
Newgate, and upon notice of his arrival the same Com-
missioners directed the Keeper to bring him before
them to be examined. He was irtcordingly brought
before them on Friday morning, underwent an exami-
nation, when he delivered up the bills of lading of the
goods he had shipped forVanDieman'sLand,disclosed
the property he had before shipped, and was discharged.
The ship in which the bankrupt's goods were laden
for Van Dieman's Land had been detained in the
Downs, and another messenger and creditor suc-
ceeded in seizing the goods 'before she sailed, and a
supercargo was put on board to proceed with her on
the voyage to take care of the property for the benefit
of the estate. Thus the creditors, by die prompt and.
vigorous measures adopted, and by the speedy exe-
cution cf the Bankrupt Laws, have within the space
of three or four days secured a considerable property,
which with other property disclosed by the bankrupt,
may be more than sufficient to pay 20s. in the pound
to the creditors.

. Yesterday, John Oliver and Charles Lewis, two no.
torious house-breakers, were committed to Maidstone
Jail by a Board of Magistrates, sitting at the Mitre
Tavern, Greenwich, charged with various robberies
in the county of Kent.
Friday morning early, as Mr. Gill, butcher, of
Rock, near Bewdley, was on his way to Leominster,
he was stopped by a footpad, who, presenting his
pistol, demanded his money. Mr. Gill struck at the
ruffian with his stick, when the fellow discharged the
pistol at him, the ball from which passed through his
hat. Mr. Gill maintained his seat, and, Whilst srrug-
gling with his assailant, his horse was shot dead by
another villain who had secreted himself behind a
hedge. Both the desperadoes now fell upon Mr. Gill,
and beat him with the butt end of their pistols threat-
ening to murder him, unless he surrendered his money.
Mr.-Gill promised to comply, if they Would spare his
life; and, taking off his coati tolethem• they would
find his pocket-book in one of the pockets. One cf
the wretches was for dispatching him instantly ; but
the other demurred, and desiting him to take off his
waistcoat, began to search the coat for site booty.—
In the waistcoat pocket was £lOO in Bank notes, but
their attention being diverted while examining the
contents of the pocket-book, which consisted of blank
checks only, Mr. Gill rushed by them and got off,
and thus, by his intrepidity, preserved his money, and
probably his life.
The 'f IMES.—A tradesman left laath, a few days
since, to collect some accounts, amounting to,upwards
of £l3O. Ile called at 23 places, within a circle of
20 miles, and received the enormous sum of three
shillings! His journey cost him 10s. 4d. From
people who had been heretofore most punctual, not
.a shilling was to be had.
• The Durham Advertiser states, that there are at
present three debtors confinecrin the jail of that city
whose united ages amount to 237 years. How, much
more humane is the French raw, which protects all
persons above the age of seventy from arrest !
At Valparaiso, in Chili, a subscription is raising
for the purpose of building a pantheon or burial place
for Protestants. and a considerable sum has already II
been collected.
Dr. WoLeoT, better known by the name of PETER
NDA It, from the prodigious sale of his early pieces
became a desirable object of bookselling speculation,
and about the year 1795, ROBINSON, GOLDING, and
WALK ER entered into a treaty to grant him an an-
nuity for his ptiblished works; and on certain condi-
tions for his unpublished ones. While this was pend-
ing, PETER had an attack of asthma, which he did
not conceal or palliate, but at meetings of the patties
his asthma always interrupted the business. A fatal
result was of course anticipated, and instead of a sum
lof money, an annuity of £'2so per annum was pre-
(erred. Soon after the bond was signed, PETER
called on WALKER, the manager for'the parties,,who
surveyed him with a scrutinizing eye, and asked him
how he did ? " Much better, thank you," said PETER.
" I have taken measure of. my asthma; the fellow is
troublesome, hut I know his strength, and am his
master." " Oh !" said WALKER, grai•ely, and turned
into an adjoining room, where Mrs. WA LKO, a pru-
dent woman, had been listening to the conversation.
PETER, aware of the feeling, paid a keen attention
to the husband and wife, and beard the latter ex-
claim—" There now, didn't I tell you .he wou'dn't
die? Fool that you have been; -I knew he wou'dift
die.' PE•ran enjoyed the joke, and outlived all the
parties, receiving the annuity fur 2.,(*years.- • •
