—Mr. guntr-My X.ords, since last I had the plea.
sure of seeing you, t have lost my eyes, and-there.
fore I must take out my spectacles to read my mo-
tion. He then pat on his spectacles, and predating
a paper, said, he humbly moved their Lordships for
a Rule to 'drew cause why Charles Frederick Wil-
liams; Esq. Barrister at Law, should not be crimi.
nally prosecuted, for maliciously exciting, and en.
deavouring to provoke Henry Hunt to commit a
breach of the peace, and thereby forfeit the recogni.
zances he was under to be of good behaviour.
The Cuter Jusrics.—Mr. Hunt, we never enter.
tain an application for a criminal information on the
last day of Term. You may indict the party, if you
think proper.
Mr. Justice BATLEY said, that this was a settled
rule ; but beside this, this was an application made
by a private individual in a criminal matter, and he
could not he heard but by Counsel. This had been
solemnly decided.
Mr. Hunt said, it .was not likely he should employ
Counsel in such a case as this. There was an old
saying, " set a thief to catch a thief," which he did no:
chuse to act upon in this instance. He did not mean
this offensively or personally to the Bar, but it could
hardly be expected that he should employ one Bar-
rister to act against another.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—Yon may prefer an indic‘.
ment, if you think proper ; but we cannot hear you
make the present motion, and at all events, not on
the last day of Term.
Mr. Hunt said he shonid not press this application;
but he had now a complaint to make against one of
the Officers of the Court, namely, Mr. Loshivon,
the Master of the Crown Office, for extorting a sum
of 1/. from him on the taxation of certain costs which
he was obliged to pay some time since, upon the dis-
charge of a Rule which he had applied for to this
Court, in order to relieve him from the grievances be
laboured under whilst in Ilchester Jail. On that oc-
casion the question of costs was referred to Mr. Lush-
ington, and in consequence of a miscalculation in
the account he was overcharged in a sum of It. ss rich
he was compelled to pay before he could be released
from prison.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—Then yon had betLer apply
to have the Master's taxation reviewed.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY—There was a mistake of 1/. in
casting up the account ?
Mr. Hunt replied in the affirmative, and said he
should not at present trouble the Court with a long
affidavit, as they appeared to be fatigued, but he might
possibly renew his application next Term.
The COURT said he might apply on the first day of
next Term, if he thought proper.
Mr. Hunt then said he was desirous of knowing
what had become of the case of the King v. Dr.Sto,i-
dart, which was in the cause paper for trial when he
went to prison?
The COURT said they could give him no informa-
tion upon the subject. Ile must apply to the Marshal's
Office. If it was struck out of the cause paper, he
might move to have it re-entered.
Mr. Hunt did not press any of his applications fur-
ther, and concluded by saying—" I am happy to see
your Lordships so well after my return from Ilches-
ter."—Here the matter ended, and the Court broke lc.
