LAW INTELLIGENCE.

1,011) SYRON'S VISION or. JusgarzNir.
THE KING 9. HUNT.
Few cases of libel have occurred, exciting a greater
degree of public attention and curiosity than that of Mr.
Hunt, which came on in the King's Bench yesterday.
The interest it Created was se intense that at an early
hour the. Court was filled in all parts; the several ave-
nues were crowded, and a little after ten o'clock, ingress
or egress to and from the Court was quite impracticable.
Several Ladies of elegant appearance were present.
This. was a prosecution instituted by the Constitu-
tional Association, against John Hunt, bookseller, Bond-
street, (Loral Byron 's publisher) for the pnblicAtirns of a
number of The Liberal, containing g, The Vision bf
Judgment." Extracts from the Poem, which were al-
leged to be libelous, were spread on the face of the
tecord,....The Jury were. sworn a few minutes before
ten o'clock :

Robert Rogers, Matthew Lloyd, Robert Cook, Rich-
ard Horsepool, and Charles Constable, Esqrs.
ADOLPHUS prayed a tales, and the following
Gentlemen answered to their names: James Chambers.
John Ironson, William Hussey, Thomas Jones, Thomas
l3eartice, George Edward Dalton, William Trougb,and
William Ei
Mr. Anoienns stated the case on behalf of the pro-
secution. He commenced by observing that the law of
England not only shielded the fame and good character
of the living from calumny, but also protected the roe•+
mory of the dead. This protection of the good fame
of the dead secured. the peace of. the living, and enabled
them to pass through the world, and discharge their
duties with confidence. The present libel was scanda-
lous; disloyal, false, and impious. Nothing could bo
said in defence of the libel, whatever might be said.
of the responsibilitr`of.the defendant. The libel was
one affecting the King and his family. He w aware
that it would be attempted to censure the prosecutors;
and it was much easier to censure the one party than.
to vindicate the other. It might be saidthat the Attor-
ney-General ought tohave prosecuted if the libel really
affected the Royal Family. But there might be many
things affecting the Royal Family which the Attorney.
General might not find it fit to prosecute, but which
public-spirited individuals would not suffer to pass. The
only question for them and for him was. whether this
was a mode of prosecution by which the defendant was
more likely to" sustain injustice than any other ? Now it
was quiCe the contrary.: A. Grand Jury had found the
bill. Is came before them too this day, not withthe, autho-
stity) power, or ability °Elbe Attorney-General. There

*as a very high advocate Counsel fOr the defendant.—
If it could be shewn that his instructors were mistaken;

that the view he took of this subject was a mistaken
one; if it could be shewn that it was not scandalous, if
not disloyal, if net impious, atone would rejoice more
than he, or retire with more Satisfaction to find that the
memory of his late Majesty was not affected. It was
known'to the Jury that George the Third died in 1820,
after a reign of 60 years. For a long period before his
decease he was afflicted by the hand of HZAvaN, by the
deprivation of his undemanding. At thecend of his fif-
tieth year his reign: was celebrated by public rejoicings.
Sech.was the subject selected by, his libeller for the ex-
ercised hii talents.), Was there a man in any ordinary
case who would not express sympathy with the suf•
ferings of another so aglitter)? Yet these sufferings were
Metopes selected as the ground-work of the present
'poem by this libeller. For a long time it was thought
It to make personal attack: upon his present Majesty,
but this plan of operation was changed, and in pun-.
seance of the new system, a publication, entitled, " The
Liberal, or Verse and Prose from the South," appeared
in the beginning of the year 1822. It was a pro-
duction sent forth by those Idiom distance makes
valiant, and indifference to character regardless
of consequences ;• and who, from a spirit of malice,
were capable of outraging all feeling and ransacking
even the very grave. lu the first number of The Li-
beral there is a poem, called The Vision of Jridgnient.
In this poem the author presumes to lay the scene in
Heaven, and with a degree of levity and wantonness—
a depth of impiety that would disgrace a pot-house,
shelved an utter diaregard'of that reverence which was
due to the SUPREME Basso, and a total neglect of -the
awe which His idea shouldcreate. When he (Mr. Adol-
phus) began his address, he wigs admonished in a whis-
per not to go beyond the charge in the indictment; but
if he found that the libel had another character besides
that ascribed to it in that document, and 'one that he
could only regard with horror, be did not know why he
should not advert to it. He would not have expected
from any English writer a production of such a cha-
racter as this, in which the scene was the very floor of
Heavek and in which the author's profligate muse af-
forded a striking example, that
Fouls rush in where Angels fear to tread."
The Vision of Judgment begins thus :
" Sam Peter sat by the celestial gate,
His keys were rusty, and the lock was dull,
So link trouble had been given of tate ;
/lot that the place by any means was full,
But since the Gallic era' eighty-eight;
The devils had tees a longer, stronger pull,
And a pull altogether, as they say
At sea—which drew most souk another way t"
And so.it goes on. The recording angels wings are
plucked to make pens, and he has six cherubim: ap-
pointed to be his clerks, with a dozen of under-clerks;
and in this way does this libeller proceed. It then goes
on to state, that a general noise and rustling is heard,
and, on inquiry being made, the answer is, that George
the Third is dead. One of the parties then gives an ac-
coant of hint; in which his character as a King and as
a man is grossly abused, and he is reproached for the
calamities with which he was afflicted by Hsavirr. Sa-
tan is then brought forward as his accuser, and, in the
, George the Third slinks into Heaven by stealth.
This is the publication which they (the Jury) were
'tolled to pronounce their verdict on. Of the publica-
tion by the defendant there could be no doubt; and
with respect to his motives, it was. not material. It was
not necessary to prove that the defendant was actuated
by personal malice towards George the Third, or per-
sooal hostility towards his present Majesty George the
Clinch. If the Poem had the effect of making their
enemies rejoice,. -and their fiiends mourn, it was not
the less culpable, whatever might be the motive.—
kle had adverted to the origin of this publication. It
was entitled " Verse and Prose from the South," and it
would seem there was some author behind who was-not
known, and could not be reached. It was no slight ag-
4;tavation of the defendant's offence, that' he put forth
Illat which had been sent from a distance, and the real
ialthois of which were safe. If there is an author whose
Lints might have raised him to a high rank in litera-
ture, and who might have taken his place among the
List ,piiits of the age, connected with this publication

if there is such st person. he was truly to see hits
degraded to a • level with the basest reptiles.s He was
truly sorry to see a high arid glorious name so debased;
to see great talenti that might have been better em-
ployed; so occupied. He trusted that such a use of his
abilities was to be ascribed to indiscretion, and that the
world would still have to rejoice in their better empler-
ment. He had read to them some parts of the poem.
Satan was the character in whose mouth the accusations
against George 111. were put ; and it might be said, that
as Satan is the father of all lies, the fact of the charges
proceeding from such a source, imported that there was
•no malice in the breast of the author against the lste
King. This might be said; and it would be perfectly true,
if the tone of the poem throughout corroborated such a
view of the case. But, in point of fact, this was a most
flimsy disguise, and could only cover the malice beneath.
It might also be said that the characters of Kings belong
to history; but it k not to be said that the character of
either dead or living Monarchs is to be left at the mercy
of any daring libeller. If an historian should write the
reign of George 111. and bring brief charges against him,
lethim prove those charges, and he will not be called a
libeller. If, like some Roman Monarchs, George 111.
had been lost in effeminate pleasures ; if the flames of
persecution had raged under his sovereignty ; if he had
been governed by favourites; if his power had been ar-
bitrary and tyrannical; if (as in this poem it was directly
insinuated) he was ruled by rival ice, the beggar's vice;"
if this could be said of him, let him rank with those
whose names cannot be regarded without loathing ; but
if the whole course of his life was milted by religion,
by abstinence, by generosity ; if there was no moral
stain upon his character; if all which this publication
said of him was utterly libellous, they, the Juw, would
pronounce upon it accordingly. This was The view
that he entertained, and he hoped they would not
suffer any artful address to divest them of that cool
judgment with which they ought to regard it.—
The libel had been published some time, and it might
be said that the subject was pow stale, and that there
was no necessity to revive it; but, continued the Learned
Counsel, the delay had been unavoidable, and was net
owing to any fault on either side. He now left to the
Jttry the ease of a libel upon a Monarch, who descended
to the grave lamented by all classes ;—upon a King
who justly obtained the title of father of his people;—
the case of a libel affecting British fame and feeling on
the high point of venerating the memory of theit fa-
thers. He left it .to them to say, forgetting whether
George 111. was ever King, whether when he descended
into the grave his ashes were to be raked up? They, he
was sure, would do their duty on their oaths, and he
was satisfied that he had faithfully, though feebly, dis-
charged his duty.
The following witnesses were then called.
John Piader sworn : went to the defendant's shop, No.
22, Old Bond-street, on the 2cl of December, 1822,
and purchased two numbers of 7'he Liberal. I bought
a copy for Mr. Murray, and another for Mr. Maule;
Mr. Stafford employed me to get the copy for Mr.
!Maule, that was before I bought for Mr. Murray; Mr.
Stafford directed me to buy that copy ; I saw Mr.
Murray in his own house, John. street, Bedford-row; he
is not Solicitor to the Treasury; Mr. Murray paid me
for loss of time; he did so several times before. Mr.
Stafford always employed me; I understand he is an
attorney ; I believe be purchased for the purpose of pro-
secution; don't know who employed him; don't know
whether he is a Member of the Constitutional Associa-
tion or their Attorney; I have been paid too at other
times by Mr. Sharp; I never. saw Sharp and Murray
together; I might have seen them.together in Court in
the very case in which Sharp paid me; I believe I did.
Was Sharp a Manchester Bankrupt ?
Mr. ADOLPHUS objected.
The CHIEF JUSTICR thought this begged- the question.
Mr. SCARLETT—I only want to know what is become
of Mr. Sharp?-(A latish.)
Witness—/ can't tell whether Mr. Murray is attorney
for the Constitutional Association. I believe he is. I
have not, that I remember, been employed to boy a
book called Southey's Vision of Judgment: I have read
part of that book.
Mr. SCARLETT read the passige-4Asmodeus carry-
ing Southey up).
Witness—l never read, or heard Mr. Murray, read it.
Mr. SCA RLETT next read stanza 102.
Witness—l never read it, or heard Murray read it.
I don't know that the poem was written in ridicule of
Southey's poem.
Mr. SCARLSTT asked if he knew these two

" •But stuck fast with his lint hexameter,
Nor one of all who* gouty feet would stir."
Witness.—l do not.

Mr. SCARLET r.—Do you know what an hexameter
means?—l believe I am an hexameter--(Laughter).
Mr. ADOLPHUS wished the passages charged to beread.
Mr. SCARLSTT thought the whole must be read.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the best way would
be to have the passages charged as libellous read first,
and compared with the -record, and then the whole
could be read, if Mr. Scarlett wished it.
Mr. Sciatarer agreed, and looked at the record while
the passages id the indictment were read.
Mr. SCARLIITT desired the whole to be read, though
he regretted to have his Lordship detained so long.
Mr. ABBOTT rose, and. Lead slowly, audibly, and with
most correct emphasis, the whole Poem.
James Buckmaster was called, and spoke to the iden-
tity of Mr. Hunt.
Cress-examined.—l am an army-clothier; I read the
Liberal ; I am not a subscriber to the Association. I
am called by Mr. Murray here.
Mr. SCARLETT.—And only to say you know Mr.
Hunt? Yes.—Gon bless me! I thought it was to give
your opinion of this Poem ?—No.
Mr. ADOLPHUS said that was his case.
Mr. Scesturrx began by saying that if he possessed
any of that sort of talent which his Learned Friend bad
ascribed to him, this was not an occasion on which he
should make use of it. He would not attempt to
increase id their minds the ridicule, contempt, and in-
dignation, which such a charge as the present must
have excited in their minds, and in his opinion in
the mind of every honest man. Newer, on any occa-
sion, had he lamented more his want of those talents ;
and if he possessed them, be never felt more sensibly
that the very energy of his own feelings would depress
the exercise of them. He never expected-to hear it
gravely urged in an English. Court of Justice, thlit the
publication of any opinion or sentiments of a deceased
Monarch was a libel, and a libel affecting -the living
Monarch. His Learned Friend had very anxiously
abstained from the law of this case, and With good po-
licy left the law to his Lordship. Instead o( stating the
law, he betook himself to fine fields of. declamation, to
topics.which might raise their feelings, and excite some-
whet of party-teeling. He wished he bad conducted

their understandings to a true definition of the
of libel, and peintea out under what head of that
this prosecution was founded; that they might hate
notions on the sutiect, and that he might have the
nefit of ascertaining their value. He had _declaimed
demerits not in the indictment, but he had left to him
(Mr. Scarlett) the task of stating the law to them. He
trusted, therefore, for their indulgence, while he at least
endeavoured to explain this point, and to prove that the
record of 'this indictment was a disgrace to a Court of
Justice. A libel was defined to be a libel, s, because it
tends to a breach of the public peace." Why did it
tend to do so ? Because it excited a desire of vengeance
inconsistent with the public peace. If this were not pre-
vented, we should be brought back to a state of nature.
A charge against a living Monarch was not a libel, be-
cause he could not be supposed to feel a desire to break
the peace. He was entitled to reverence, and duty, and
all outward forms of submission. Therefore any at-
tempt to bring him into contempt was sedition, not be-
cause it tended to break the peace, but to weaken the
ties of submission to' Government. Government was
the result of public opinion, and it might therefore
be of importance to check every attempt to bring
its head into contempt. His Learned •Friend had said,
that the good fame of the dead must be protected
on account of the living. It was so, because attacks
upon our fathers tended to excite us to break the pub-
lic peace. Could that be said of a Monarch ? Pie
hoped never to see the day when the maxim would
be received in a Court of Justice, that any observations
on a deceased Monarch were a libel on the living Mo-
narch, because if it be, there would be at once an etid
of the truth of history, of liberty of opinion, and of the
very best principles on which social institutions were
founded. When a Monarch died, then it was of the
utmost importance to have the opinion of the times.—
Kings were connected with history ; their records were
lessons of morality to rulers and nations. The divinity
which I hedges in a King,' shuts out truth while he
lives, but when he is mixed with the earth, and lies
undistinguished in mortality, it was . of the utmost
importance to mankind, and deeply interesting to
their liberty and safety as men and as Englishmen,
that he should be subject to free and full discussion.
But was it only praise that must be said of him ?
If anything in the least affected his character, or of-
fended his successor, was it a libel f If so, there was an
end of truth and freedom. If nothing was to be said
of a deceased Monarch but what was pleasing' to his
successor, there would be an end to historical truth. If
we were to be condemned only to panegyrics, what faith
would be due to those who gathered fi om the past rules
for future Governments? The greatest of ancient histo-
rians (Tacitus), the most perfect master of historical wis-
dom, said, that in the time of Augustus there were not
wanting persons who could tell the truth, but that adu-
lation prevented them. Should that be said in this coun-
try ? Should the verdict of a Jury sanction it? But let
him not be misunderstood ; if any man wrote respecting

a deceased• Monarch, with a view to insult the existing
Monarch, it was criminal, and ought to be punished ;
and if the defendant had done so, he should consent to
a verdict against him. But that was not so. If all the
virteesof his predecessor were stated as a contrast to in-
sult the living Monarch, it would be criminal. His
Learned Friend had said that this'prosecution proceeded
not from the Crown, but was the effusion of one of its
subjects. He gave no opinion of political characters
or measures ; but the present King was surrounded by
the advisers whom the late King bad raised to office,
for time and power. This Poem was not adapted for
-the vulgar, nor indeed would it be read by them.-
-There was not one of his Majesty's Ministers who had
not read it, and who did not feel it a pity to bring it for-
ward in this way. He used the argument to sliew that
no man of letters, no statesman, and no man of high
station had put the construction on this poem which Mr.
Murray, the attorney,-had put upon it. Who was Mr.
Murray ? He had brought into Court what was •wee
prosecuted before. With all respect for aJory, he (Mr.
Scarlett) did not consider the character of a deceased
being, or a criticism upon a poem, a fit subject for a
Jury. Mr. Murray might be a judge of the minks of
an attorney, but he knew nothing of the merits of a
Statesman, a King, or a Poet, and he evidently under-
stood not a word of this poem. If this were a libel, then
to say anything of the grandfather or ancestor of the
King would be a libel. Shakspeare drew Richard the
Third a murderer; in the opinion of Mr. Murray, this
must have been a political libel. His Majesty was
descended of James the First; yet Sir Walter Scott,
one of his late novels, he begged pardon, an un-
known writer, described that Monarch in the most
ridiculous and contemptible character. Did Mr. Mur-
ray know that there was such a book as Shalt.
speare's, that there was a King called Henry VIII.
—Did he know that none mentioned his reign as ithout
describing his tyrannical conduct?. Had he heard of
the Memoirs of Waldegrave, one of the late King's
tutors? The• Memoirs of George I. by Walpole?, It
was quite new to,bitn—it was never before pretended
that there was any libel in saying that a Kiag died un-
lamented. It was a delicate subject to speak upon. He
knew not whether the late King died regretted or not.
For himself he entertained for him the fullest respect;
and he thought the Poet was wrong. But it was true,
that people were not generally much grieved by the
decease of Monarchs? and why? The condition that
made a man a King, placed him out of the sphere of
those solicitudes, cares, and attentions which were felt
for ordinary individuals. If History spoke truth, tears
did not often fall for Kings. He had beard that on the'
death of his late Majesty, the persobs who attended
at his funeral expected they would be displaced in
twenty-four .hours; it was not therefore probable
they would be so deeply affected as to shed tears,
except those caused by the solemn occasion.\ When
Louis the Fifteenth died of the small pox, 'his at.
tendants ran away from him. The indictment, after
setting forth the passages complained of, stated that it
was thereby intended to disturb and disquiet the mind
of our Lard the now King, and to bring disgrace upon
the descendants of his late Majesty. The publication
was not charged as seditious or treasonable ; and be
had no idea of any otherlibel on a King but one of a
seditious or treasonable nature. To say that the late
King was a bad King (not a bad man), after his de.•
cease, and that the saying must of necessity wound the
peace of the present King, was absurd. Let the charge
be put into plain prose, and let the Jury see whether
any one might not say in that shape what the Poet had
said in verse. The Learned Gentleman then took a
rapid sketch of the events of the late King's reign in
the same sense as the Poet bad. Were those to be pro.
nounced guilty of libel, then, who spoke their opinions
on these facts ? At this moment the whole of Europe,
except; indeed, this happy.country, was unsettled, and
on one of the dreams of those who supported the war

' il

pense of 200 millions of money ; taxation was enor-
mously increased ; the Habeas Corpus Act was repeat.
edly suspended ; and many of the laws and safeguards,
under which Englishmen were accustomed to repose,
were taken away. Mr. Adolphus might, indeed, write
a history about it, and contend that everything was jus-
tifiable, and that the event was happy—this might be
the opinion of the Jury, and they had a right to hold
it; but was it not fit that others should have an equal
right to express their opinions, though they might be
different ? Every one was aware that the public acts
of the King's Government were not to be ascribed
to the will of his Majesty; their responsibility rested
upon his Ministers. But such was the fate of Kings,
that though exempt in their life-time from responsi-
bility, they could nut escape after-retribution. Look
at the reign of Elizabeth ? she, indeed, had her Cecile
and her I3urleighs ; but posterity points to her name
as the common centre of all her glory. The reign
of George the Third was marked by a waste of trea-
sure, by domestic division and wars, but towards
its close one maa had arisen who had thrown over it
an unexampled degree of lustre—Wellington; corn•
mencing his career at the extremity of the Continent, he
had advanced step by step, overthroa ing the ablest Ge-
nerals in Europe, and firwlly conque•ing and over-
whelming their master. Such a series of military glories
never fell to the lot of one man before. If the matter
in this publication were put into prose, there would not
appear anything in it but what had been often said and
felt. His Majesty, brought up in the true spirit of the
Constitution, under the guidance of a man now in his
grave, and who was never exceeded in his attachment
to the principles which seated his family on the throne,
which he hoped they would long continue to adorn,
could never be supposed to sanction such a prosecution
as this. The Learned Corm,el here proceeded to read
extracts from the poem, offering remarks as he went on.
He concluded by an appeal to the Jury not to pro-
nounce a verdict that would go t, blast all literature,
destroy all energy, and subvert all liberty.
The Loup CHUM Jim= lett it to the Jury, whether
the tendency of this Poem was not calculated to wound
the feelings of the existing Sovereign, and disturb the
public peace, by bringing him into contempt and ha•
tred. The Jury would exercise their own unshackled
judgment. The Liberty of the Press was a privilege
the people of this country enjoyed above all others, and
the Jury would say whether the object of this Poem was
temperately to discuss the measures of Government ?
His Lordship could not hut express his decided abhor-
rence of the terms in which this Poem was couched—as
reflecting, in a high degree, upon the deceased Sove-
reign. These were also other passages, reflecting on his
present Majesty, which no man of feeling but must be
affected by.—He concluded the Jury would exercise
their own calm and dispassionate judgment, and say, if
'his was that malicious or malignant libel, tending to
disturb the peace of mind of the reigning Sovereign, by
bringing his character into the ridicule, hatred, or, con-
tempt of his subjects, as charged in this information.
Tile Jury having retired, at half-past two, found the
Defindant, John Hunt, Guilly.

PARRlClDE.—December 31st, towards eight o'clock
in the evening, Barbe-Rose Chatelet, 26 years of age,
of the Commune of Dugny, on the road from Verdun
to Bar, killed her father, by filing at him with a pistol.
The muzzle of the piece was close to her unhappy fa-
ther, and the deed was committed at the corner of a
road, where she had concealed herself, knowing that he
would pass that way. The ball passed through the
bowels of the old man, who died six hours afterwards=
declaring his daughter was his murderess. The Pro.
carrier du Rol immediately proceeded to Dugny, where
this unnatural daughter confessed her crime, and said
that she had been induced to commit it by a desire to
have no loner a pension to pay for the suppoit of Ni-
colas Chatelet, which she and all his children paid. She
was on the following day conducted to the gaol of
Verdun.—Journal des Debuts.
The authenticity of the following particulars respect-
ing the attempt to, assassinate Mrs. Mitchell, in the
Putter-row, Edinburgh, is said to be unquestionable:—
Mrs. Mitchell resided with her aged mother, and kept a
young girl in the capacity of a servant. Mitchell used
frequently to call at the house; but his wife, apprehen,
sive of his brutal usage, always refused him admit-
tance, and kept the door secure against his approach.
As it was necessary to dilpatch the girl at times upon •
messages, it was arranged that, when the girl returned,
she should rattle the handle of the door by way of sig-
nal to her mistress. This came to the knowledge of
Mitchell, who, upon the evening when the atrocious act
was committed, and while the gad was from home,came
to his wife's door, and making use of the signal, was
readily admitted. He at once seized hold of-a lighted
candle, and rushed into a back room, the window of
which he threw up with great violence, commanding
his wife at the same time to come and speak to him.
She refused ; he approached her, and her mother took
hold of her, to prevent her going; upon which Mit-
chell required to know what rrght she had to detain his
wife from him ? The old woman replied, that her daugh-
ter was under her protection. " Then," said Mitchell,
,f 111 soon put her out of your protection;" and drawing
a table-knife from beneath his sleeve, he brandished it
in her face. At this time the girl returned; and Mrs.
Mitchell, upon seeing her, cried to her to run for assist-
ance. Mitchell hearing this, dashed the girl to the
ground, and at.the same instant plunged the knife into
his wife's side, and rushed out of the house. Mrs. Mit-
chell is a woman of superior talents and acquirements ;
and, before the perpetration of the crime which has en-
dangered her life, had formed arrangements for teach-
ing French and sewing, for the support of her aged mo-
ther and infant children.

KKR- LONDON DOCK COMPANY V. THE PARISH OP

•
WAPPING.
This was an appeal by the London Dock Company
against a rate made by the Parish on the 29th of April
last, by which the London Dock Company's Wharfs
and Warehouses, in the Parish, were rated on the esti-
mated value of 15,0001. per annum, instead of 6,4401.
on which value the former rate had been made. The
ease excited great interest amongst the parishioners, by
whom the Court was crowded to excess.—The Bench

was unusually full, there being 19 Magistrates present.
Mr. Serjeant Bow-rawer commenced a statement of
the-case on the part of. the appellants.—He said there
bad-been various disagreements between the London
Dock Company and the parish of Wapping, respecting
the value put upon the Company's property in the esti-
mate for levying parish rates, and several appeals had
been made to that Court to decide between the parties.
At length, about Midsummer, 1821; the Dock Com-
pany and the parish mutually agreed to appoint a sur-
veyor each, who should appoint a third, and make an
accurate survey and estimate of the wharfs and ware-.
houses belonging to the Company in the parish.—This
agreement was acted on by the parties—two unexcep-
tionable Surveyors were appointed, who named a third,
equally competent. These three gentlemen proceeded
to make a most laborious elimination and estimate of
the value of the Company's wharfs and warehouses,
which occupied them nearly six months,and atChristmas
1822, they made their report, in which they estimated
the value of the property at 7,8001. per annum, onl
, which estimate the parish made their rate for that guar.
ter, deducting, according- to the practice, one fifth from
the actual estimate, which left the estimated rental on
which the rate was charged 6,2401. per annum. With
this estimate the Dock Compaay were well-content, and
expected the parish would be equally satisfied; but
that was not the case, for the very next quarter the
parish, without taking any further steps to ascertain
that the value agreed on by the Surveyors mutually
appointed, and their umpire, was not a just and accu-
rate estimate, did of themselves increase the estimate
to the enormous sum of 15,0001. per annum, on which
estimate of value they made the rate which was now
appealed from. Mr. Bosanquet was proceeding to
argue against the increase of estimated value by the
parish, when
The CHAIRMAN said it lay on the parish to show why
they had departed from the estimate of value which
had been agreed on by the Surveyors, who were mutu-
ally appointed, and on whose -estimate the parish had
made the rate for one quarter.
Mr. DRODRICY, for the Parish, stated, that the rea-
son the trustees, acting on behalf of the Parish, did not
think it just towards the parishioners to abide by the
estimate the surveyors had made of the value of the
London D. Company's wharfs and warehouses, was,
that they had ascertained that that- estimate was made
on a comparison of the Company's premises with the
waterside premises of the wharfingers in the parish
and • they conceived that no such comparison could in
fairness be instituted, as the Company, from the pecu-
liar privileges they possessed, had, in a great degree,
deteriorated the value of all the other Waterside-pre-
mises in the parish; in fact they were all in a state. of
decay, while the London Dock Company were in a state
of great prosperity ; the Parish therefore conceived,
, that the true r ule. by which the value of the Company's
wharfs and warehouses should be valued, was the rent
at which they could be let ; and it was by that rule the
estimate of 15,0001. per annum was made.
• In support of this statement the Learned Gentleman
called seven wharfitigers, who all gave evidence that the
London Docks possessed many advantages over any
waterside premises in the parish, and estimated their
annual value at rents varying from 15,0001. to 18,4001.
per ann. at which they agreed the premises could be let.
Mr. Johnson, of the East India House, provei that
the East India Company held from the London Dock'
Company, half of the warehouse A, and the ware-
houses D and E, at rents amounting to 5,9801. per an-
num. They were at liberty to give up the warehouses
at a week's notice, but had occupied A since 1819 ; D
and E since 1820.

Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET addressed the Court again,
and contended that the estimate of Surveyors, who had
accurately examined and estimated all parts of the pre-
mises in detail, was to be preferred to that of wharfin-
gers, who formed their judgment on a general view.—
The Learned Serjeant called seven Surveyors, five of
whom estimated the Company's premises at 7,8001. per
annum, and two at 7,7101. per annum.
Mr. Gibbs, the Company's Surveyor, stated that the
poor rate in the Parish of Wapping is, at present ss.
in the pound ; and the whole rates amount to 10s. in
the pound.
The CHAIRMAN said, it was very difficult, indeed, for
the Court to come to any decision on the conflicting evi-
dence respecting the value of the appellants' property.
-There coLld be no doubt that all the witnesses. gave their
opinions conscientiously, and he thought the only waj
of reconciling them would be by a mutual agreement
between the parties. The Court, however, for the pre-
sent, must exercise their judgment, and he thought it
would be a reasonable exercise of their authority to
take 5,0001. from the estimate of 15,0001. made by the
Parish, leaving the Dock Company to pay rates on
10,0001. per annum.—The Bench unanimously con-
curred in this opinion, andtlecided accordingly.

e totl-house.
Bayfield, shoirtaan —j pawnbroker
-.ough, said the prisoner came and pawned s.
about tett:o'clock in the morning of the 6th. of January,
in the name of John Harding.
A person belonging to the horse police on the Epsom
road apprehended the prisoner on the 7th instant, near
Epsom. He found a duplicate in his pocket.-
Here the watch was identified by the prosecutor.
The prisoner, when called on for hie defence, said be
did it from want.
The CHAIRMAN observed that he might probably dol
it from want, bUt that he had made a very ungrateful
return to a man who bad allowed him to warm himself
whilst suffering under the inclemency of the weather.
The sentence was, that he should be confined to hard
labour for six months in the House of Correction.
. Joseph Hill was tried far stealing some doors and
window sashes, from an unfinished house in East-lane,
Walworth, belonging to a persoti named Barrett. On
Christmas Eve the prosecutor Missed three sashes, and
on the 30th of December he missed four doors. On the
Bth inst. he saw one of the doorst the house of A broker
named Baker, in Lock's-fields. He got a constable,
who went with him next day to Baker's house, and
there found a door and one sash:, He found more of
the property at the house of one Yeomans, in Lock's-
fields. There was more property found at the house of
a Mr. Burridge.

,l• io.-
Snow, the constable, apprehended the prisoner in
Dean's-buildings, East-lane, Wal worth, and found se-
veral pieces of broken glass in his room. Yeomans ac-
companied Snow, and pointed out the prisoner as the
man of whom he bad bought the doors and sashes. The
prisoner told him he had found them. '
William Yeomans, a whitesmith, and dealer in marine
stores, in Loa's-fields, said the prisoner came to his shop
.on the morning of the
.22d of December. Ile sold
some of the property to Baker, and another part of it
to Mr. Burridge.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that, on the (22d of
December, at six in the morning, when he was going
to his work, he stumbled over the things in a lane, and
not finding any owner for them, he took them away,
and sold them.—He called no witnesses.—Guilty.
The Officer of the Court said the prisoner was in
custody last May, for stealing harness ; but the indict-
ment was quashed.—The CHAIRMAN sentenced him to
seven years' transportation.
Snow, the officer, then said he had found on the pri-
soner a pocket-book, containing several pownbrokers'
duplicates. On making inquiry, he found that they were
duplicates for property that had been stolen from a wo-
man who resided in Essex ; but that she got back the
property from the pawnbrokers, on making an affidavit.
Jelin Mail (a boy, apparently fifteen years old) was
tried for stealing a silk scarf from the shop of Messrs.
Harvey and Simmons, linen-drapers, in Bridge-road,
Lambeth, on the 3d instant. The prisorier and a girl
were seen by a police-officer standing for a short time at
the shop-window ; as soon as the boy went away he was
watched, and taken with the shawl under his coat. It ap-
peared that a hole had been cut in the window with a
sharp.instrument, out of which the property was taken.
Ile was found Guilty, and on the CHAIRMAN inquiring
if any one knew who the prisoner was, it was answered
'that he lived in Kent-street along with infamous females.
—lle was then sentenced to seven years' transportation.

TOE STACKPOOLE CASE.
PARIS, JANUARY to.
M. Tripier was heard in defence of Stackpoole. He
noticed the great difference between the judgment given'
by the Irish Lord Chancellor, and that given on the
appeal, by the House of Lords of England. The first
decision, in awarding to his opponents the enormous
sum of 12,497 livres, rejected the other demands, hay-
ing for their object the :Addition of the interest to the
principal. .M. Stackpoole would perhaps have deferred'
to this judgment, however injurious it might be to his
interests, but his adversaries appealed, and the case
came before the House of Lords. Here the Advocate
pointed out an error in the English proceedings, which-
permitted the same master of accounts on the appeal
who made the report against Stackpoole in the first in-
stance, and who had acted with great partiality. By this
appeal the pretended claim of the co-inheritors of G.
Stackpoole was raised to the frightful amount of 322,000
lines. I cannot subscribe, continued the Advocate, to the
eulogy conferred on the Chamber of Peers of England.
—lt is, without doubt, as a political body, entitled to
the highest consideration ; but in its judicial capacity,
its authority is infinitely less imposing than that of our
sovereign Courts; for the English Chamber of Peers
contains but few Lawyers, and many of them were in-
fluenced by feelings of personal resentment to ,M.
Stackpoole. He cannot, therefore, be reproached for
Withdrawing from the execution of a decree .which he
..considered as essentially unjust. He repaired to France,
and obtained from the goodness of his Majesty, Letters
of Naturalisation, and the title of Count. He is thence-
forth a Frenchman, and, like all citizens, has a right to
the protection of French laws. We are led to believe
by the words (rather equivocal) of the 121st article of
the Ordonnance of 1669, that thee is no ground for a
revision, except where the decree had been made against
a Frenchman. The celebrated Aguesseau has opposed
this doctrine, and has thus expressed himself:—" All
the laws which have been made respecting judgments
given in foreign countries, which are to be executed in
this kingdom, are founded upon a general and self-evi-
dent principle—that whatever may be the. extent of a:
Sovereign's power in his own States, he has none abroad,.
or in countries subject to another ruler." It is true, that
when it is the reciprocal interest of Sovereigns, this
rule may be dispensed with by mutual consent. Upon
this principle, ;he Courts of Colmar, of Poictiers, and,
Toulouse, bare refused the execution of foreign judge'
ments in France : the Royal Court of Paris has also
refused to execute the judgment of the American Court.
of Boston, in the case of Hoikar and Parquer. This
decree was confirmed by the Court of Appeal in a,
manner which' proves that the principle laid down was.
admitted by them without any exception.
In concluding, M. Tripier expressed a wish that tlmi
Tribunal would not pronounce upon the atiministratiol
which G. Stackpoole bad of the property of his uncle,-
except with a perfect knowledge of-the cause; and that
it would require from the parties more precise explana-
tions than those which had been offered, and which
were :till far from the question of right. •
The cause is postponed for a week, to await the an-
swer of M. Dop3n, -who defends the other heirs, haring
the same claims with those of M. Hennequin's clients. .

A man named Bill Gilts was charged with baring been found In

•The Chapel-keeper of St. Ayliff's burial-ground, Goodulan'e-

ing, dimbhtg over the wall, and gently gliding along amongst this

The Loan Maros asked the prisoner, whether his cosarides

The prisoner said his friend was quite another sort of person.
They bad appointed to meet to do * little business, and the place
they expected to meet the least interruption in was the churchiard.
The as: filAroa.—And you don't know Clarke?
The prisoner hesitated.
A man here stepped forward, whose fate was well known in the
Justice-room, and said to the Lord Mayor," Why, my Lord, you
know I am Clarke, and it's all ptmnon in Giles to say he don't
know me. Why he is one of id." •
The Loan Marna.—" And pray Mr. Clarke what do you

Clarke.—" We're what the people call resurrection men. Ws

work. You may depend upon it you shall be bitterly punished."
Clarke.—" No, no; we have petitioned against you aIL I really
must say that it's a grievous shame to meddle with our business in
such'isway. How can we cure the sick or the wounded, within*
knowing the nature of the ecepsis, and you would not have us ana-
tomise a living corpus, would you, my Lord?"
'The Loan MAYO* said, that until the petition was granted, be
should continue to throw obstacles in the way of the profession.
Clarke.—" The surgeons are net at all obliged to your Lordship
• Why are we attacked wherever we go, just as if there was any
value in what you put into The ground, to prevent the air from

mind upon.every attempt, and 'tis a shame not to let us go on-as
we used to do, when we could have had any Corpus at all, rich or
poor, good, bad, or indifferent."
The Loan Maroc told Giles, that preparatory to the increase of
business, a little recreation should he applied, and sentenced him
to be imprisoned in the House of Correction, as a rogue and vaga-
bond, for one mouth. •
Clarke muttered that the church-yard should yawn for this.

BOW-STREET.
ILL-REQUITID Lon.—There was a damsel—one Miss. Howe
Maria Juliana Shunt, charged, by the books of Covent-garden wittily'
house, with having robbed a young Gentleman of a goldeti sove-
reign. The young Gentleman made such a pathetic appeal against
the publication of his name—being, as he said, " a young man just
verging into the affairs of the world," that we shalt content our-
selves (and our Readers also, we hope) with saying, he was simply
a young Gentleman of little person—and that little made the most
of secundana orient : that is to say, the boot-makei had lengthened
-hint at one end, and the hair-dresser at the other ; and his tailor had
done all that padding could do, to increase his bulk longitudinally.
The damsel--51tis Hannah Maria Juliana Shum, was not the
purest damsel in existence perhaps—certainly not the purest in at-
tire, and her face, pretty as it certainly was, would have been all
the prettier for a commodity of soap and water. But in describing
the persons of this rather ill-matched pair, we shall forget their ad-
ventures. They were thus then :
The young Gentleman left his home on the preceding. night with
the intention of going to the play, but in his way, thither he nave
miss Hannah Maria Juliana Shunt' and she looked at hint frost
under her black arched eye-brow with such a look a 3 he could Me
resist. Now, since he could not resist, be should have turned his Welt
and fled—since the man as well as " the woman who deliberates*.
lost,"—but instead of flying he stopped and asked her how she did.
She replied that she should be very well if she were not las
very cold ; and, sighing deeply, she added, " Oh 1 what a de-
lightful thing is a glass of nice het brandy and water on.
such a piercing night as this !" here was a direct appall to the
young Gentleman's generosity, and gallantry, and all that sort
of thing, and everything in the world almost; and be could sus
more resist it than he could the sparkling of her jet black 'eye. So
he gave her his arm and his heart together, and looking round he
saw the words " Fine Cogniac Brandy, neat as imported," staring
him full in the face from the windows of a tavern most oppor-
tunely oppoiite. What was to be said for it? Nothing at all. In
his opinion' the brandy and water Wis how inevitable, and theywent
igto thattavern and drank a glass ; and so delightful didthey find it,
that they had another, and another, andanother. ant still, as Miss
Hannah Maria Juliana Shunt sweetly remarked-g-- - -
" The sweetnein that pleainre has in It *
"Is always so slow to come torte •
—that they bad another or two to help it to to forth faster, and
it did—to such A degree, that the young Gentleman took up the
song and sang—
" As onward we journey, how pleasant
" To pause, and inhabit awhile
" Those few gassy spots,. like the present,
" That 'mid the dull wilderness smiler'
By and bye two other Ladies, friends of Miss Hannah Maria
Juliana Sham, dropped in, and, the Gentleman insisting umin it,
they also had some glasses of nice hot brandy and water. In short,
they were all so jocund, that at length the Gentleman made up Ide
mind to make a night of it—" But first," said he," I should like
just to step home and tell them not to sit up for me."- P Tell the
d--I!" said Miss Hart* Maria Juliana Shinn—" that's all a boas;
for if you go away you'll' not come back again." The Gentleman
was shocked; but his love was not shaken, and he pledged his ho-
nour that he would return. " Honour is all My eye," said the gen-
tle Juliana Shum—" pledge your kneaor, indeed you pledge
a sotereign ?"—" I will !" said the Gentleman ; and he did—f6r, as
we have already stated, he was a young Gentleman. The Ladies
waited his return—because they were not remarkably well able to
go, in consequence of the cognise. When the Gentleman returned,
he, very naturally, expected the return of his sovereign ; and the
Ladies very naturally knew nothing about it ; whereupon tke young
Gentleman s love evaporated—or rather exploded, with a bounce •
and his love being all gone, he was ungallant enough to send his
We-loved Miss Hannah Maria Juliana Shum to the watch-house.
, During the night, however, he repented himself of his cruelty ;
and be told the Magistrate that be did not wish to prosecute her.,
" I ant a ydung man," said he, " just verging into the inks of the
world, and a business of this kind has such an ugly loOk with it,thet
I shall be mulch obliged to you, Sir, if you will let the Lady geoid
I am sure she Is very welcome to keep the sovereign."
The gentle Juliana, seeing matters in this comfortable traio,.vers-
toted to tender the Gentleman his sovereign again, wide:like ga
tenderly refused ; and then the Magistrate dismissed them bedi whit"
a rather unteuder admonition.
Mt'. Waldo, a clerk in the Exchequer Office, Somerset
was charged with an assault on Mr. Martin, another olerkllTZ
ante establishment. It appeared from Mr. Merlin.* stet
that it was his duty to take certain fees, in which the cle=
was interested. Having received a certain sum, he thought pro-
per to deduct a small debt which the defendant owed to hint on
lame other score, and sent him the balance. The defendant was
so incensed at this conduct, that he lost no time in proceeding to
the quarters of Mr. Martin, and after indulging in divers modes of
abuse, he took up a shovel and attempted to break his head with it.
Mr. Waldo did not deny the truth of the charge, but proceeded in
some measure to justify the assault, by accusing Mr. Martin of
being an ungrateful fellow. In order to prove the ingratitude, he
mentioned many favburs which he had conferred upon Mr. Martin,
and among them was the having procured him his present. very
respectable situation—the Clerkship of the Bag.
.Mr. Martin denied this; and a stormy altercation commenced,
which the Magistrate cut short by recommending them to retire.---
" You seem to be two respectable men. said his Worship, " you
are also related tb each other it appears; and therefore you had
better retire and tome to some amicable understanding, by talking
the matter over dispassionately."
" That is impossible r said Mr. Martin.

,

Utterly imioseible ! !" responded Mr. Waldo.
6 Well, then," said his Worship, " Mr. Waldo • must put in bail
for his appearance at the Ses3ions ; and you may go tologgerbeeds,
and spend your money as fast as you Eke." This decision 'penned
w please the enders itt kw extremely ; and the required ball being
