COURT OP 7CINOI BENCH. NOV. t 9.
TM, KING V. 011"1101
This pet I in had been indicted at the lan Win-
e heller Mires for affaulting George Lovell, Erg. a
Magistrate of Hampfbi►e: The Defendant was this
day brought up to receive the tentence of the Court.
It appeared from the revrt of the Learned Judge
who tried the caufe, that the prolecutor, Mr. Lovell,
was tiding, accompanied by his terrain, along a
lane, when he heard the cries of a bny, and the found
of blows. a. it fnmebndy wets beating him. In a ienr
minutes, a woman ran from a neighbouring field in.
to the road. tou ards Mr. Lovell, imploring amiltaneq
for George Wilkins, (be Paid, was beating her fon.
The crie► of the child growing more violent, the
Magistrate alighted. and accompanied the mother to
tie ;Ora. Mr. Lovell enquired why the Defendant',
tired the%ny frs unmercifully ? but the only reply he
could obtain was, " G—d d—mn you, I ten on the
ptemils of a Gentleman, and that is more than you
arc." The Magistrate remonfirated, bot the Defect
dant continued beating the bny, and told the profecu-
tor, that if he did no immediately quit the field, he
Would thew him the Innen way into the ditch. Mr.
Lovell warned the Defendant, and told him to be
careful *hat he laid, as he was converting with a
Magistrate ; but the Defendant arifwered, that he
knew he was, bur he would be d—nd if he cared.
and railed his Nick in a threatening p.iflure above
the head of Mr. Lovell. The next day the Defen-
dant was apprehended, and fent to the county gaol
to take his trial.
Mr Demme addreffed their Lordthips in midge-
tion of puniflinseru ; after which, Mr. Jeer 1., for the
Crown, adverted to the various circumfiances of
aggravation attendant upon the condul of the De.
feadant.

After an (Altercation from Lord ELLINBOROUOH,
that Mr. Lovell had not only aged with propriety as
a Magifirate, but with humanity as an individual,
Mr. jullice Gamut pronounced the judgment of the
Court as follows No perfon who has read the
evidence in the cafe can doubt the prophecy of your
conciaion. You committed an affault upon a Gen.
denten, whom you knew to be a Magiftrate, and who
was not only performing his duty as a Jußice of the
Peace, but as a Chrifßan, in preventing your cruelty
tea Ise4plef. boy. Your behaviour has been daring
the whole proceeding highly improper, and your
Andua admits not of a tingle circuintlance in miti•
ration ; the Court, therefore, taking every thing imo
Its confideration, order, that you pay a fine to the
King of sof. be imprifoned in the Marfbalfea for one
in. nth, and find fecutity for your good condo&
yonrfelf in tool. and two fufficieot fureties io 501.

TEll RING V. TIAPCIS KINGSTON AND RIGHT OTHERS.
Mr. WOOD Rated, that the defendants were Corn-
miflioners for paving, lighting, and removing of
certaionuifances and obaruaions in the Borough of
Si. Alban's, under an Art for there purpofes of the
nth of his prefent Welty. :The Art prefcribed the
meetings of the Cummiffiuncrs to be held in the
Town Hall, in public, and declared. that none of
„, their acs or orders wet( to be valid unlefs they were
L' made at fuch meeting. The Alf alto allowed an
IF appeal to the 02Arter ScMotts, from any judgments
given by the C mmitliners. The profecutor in the
prefent indictment was the Reverend James Carpen-
ter Irate, who had appealed to the (-tarter Seffions
again( a certain reguifition or notice tram the Com.
wittLoners, dated the sorb of May, 1805, defiling
him, as his own eon, to take down tome rails in
front of his hours within fevers days from the date of
the regnifttion ; if he did not comply with this, the
Comnfiffioners, by the authority veiled in them by
the Mt of Parliament, would remove the rails them.
(elves, and levy on his goods for the coils of fo doing.
He appealed to the Seifioas : the appeal was dd..
miffed, and the requifition was ordered to be quath•
ed. and the Constnfffioners were ordered to pay the
Reverend Appellant tol. as his rolls. This funs the
Refpondents (the Cotnmiifinners) had refuted to pay,
and Mr. WOOD Rated the following as a plea of de•
Imo . The indictment was drawn againft nine
perfons; in the two firfl counts fix only were includ.
ed, and in the third count there were (even. The
Learned Conniel Paid he apprehended the Court
would not allow the dumps to be ray in that difor.
derlyvray upon the defendants. After eating Come
further objections, the Learned Counfel proceeded to
argue that the Cornelia-toners individually were not
refponfible for the payment of the tol. but that the
Treafurer was the perfon who ought to pay it, out
of the money in his hands for the purpofes of the
Aa. The Court, however, held, that they were
bound to pay the money in the firft inflancos and
that the CommilTinners might then apply to the
Ti eafurer for their indemnity. Mr. WOOD, of cuurfe,
took nothing by his motion, which was for the pur
pore of exonerating the Commillionert from paying
Me coils of the Reverend Appellant.

Str V. Maas applied for an information again
the Rev. Charles Preicor, a lklagillrate of the county
of Chefter, for non execution of hit duties, as a Jul-
lice of the Peace, when required to do SE The eir-
eumßsoces on which the motion was grounded were
as follows: A man named Thome Hatt, of Stock-

attended at the office of the Magitlrate, when, with.
one aatgoing the fosalleft Fenian, he refitted to pay

had to make. The Learned Connie' likewife pro-
doted an affidavit from a perfon of the name of

Sir V. Glass replied, that eertainl7 no improper

that their Lordlhipi., notwithitanding, would think
the coodua of the Magiflrate highly improper.

This defendant pleaded not guilty loin indielment
charging him with forging a cert;ficate of the baptifm
of one Edward Stephens, Satin?, his age to be 55, in
order to prevent his being impreff.d. 'l' he defendant
fated that he bad agood defence, hut had no Cniin-

This defendant had been convieled before Mr.
Jußice HIATH, at the laf Kent Affixes, of having
a quantity of the King's Mores in his pollaion in a
barge upon the Medway.
It was fated, in mitigation of punifhment, that
the flores had been bought by his matter at a fate at
Chatham ; that they were of little value ; and that
the defendant having them in his cuflody, amounted
only to a bare poifellion.
Mr. Jason' oblerved for the profecution, that the
defendant had been contilled under the flame of the
9th and loth of William 111. c. 31. and under the
ad feetiort of the 39th and 4oth of the Ring, both
rendering fuck an offence; amenable to exemplary
punithment.
The defendant was ordered to Rand committed,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. NOV. 19.
WILLIAMS V, WOOO.—LIIIL.
Mr. Serjeant Best. moved the Court to give judg-
ment in this cafe for the plaintiff. It WAS an **Sion
brought by the plaintiff, a prinifeller, againft the
defendant, to recover damages for a I.bel. The ad
MD( in the declaration charged the defendant with
having raid, " he (the plaintiff) has been convicted
f I times of publifhing fcandalous and libellous
prints, cenfured by the judge and fent to Newgate."
The defendant, in his plea of defence, juflified the
following words—" He has been indicted and con.
Titled of publifhing fcandalous and libellous prints."
To this juftification the plaintifFdemurred, and in the
prefcnt inflanee the Learned Serjeant contended that
it was not a good plea, as the defendant had not
junitied the whole tit the charge, but merely a part.
which altered the Original meaning of the libel. He
cited a cafe in Roll's Reports, page 249, where it
had been raid, 4. She is a thief; fhe has Itolen sou. or
301." The plea to the latter was, that the had tiolen
two pullets, which the Court did not confider a
good jullification, becaufe the pullets were not worth
aol. The Learned Serjeant alto (laced, if a woman
was accufed of being a !Cold, and it could only be
proved that (he had given her hutband one cortain-
ledure, the charge was not proved againft her.
Mr. Serjeant Bailey, on the o.itzr fide, proved,
by reverasl cafes, that it was only neeeffary ro juflify
part of the libellous words in the defendant's plea.
The Court was alfo of the latter opinion, and judg-
ment was given for the defendant.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Docrou Cornrows.
YeAerday the Right Hon. Sir Wll4. Scotn pro-
ceeded to the adjudication of the following cafes :

Drie Gebroeders, Gnrjon% mailer.—This

of various merchandize, and was captured on the
grounds of attempting to break the blockade of
