LAW INTELLIGENCE.
CotIRT OP ICING'S BENCIT, JULY G.
HARRIS D. HILL AHD OTHERS.
Mr. WILDE stated that this action was brought by
the Assignees of Messrs. Langhorne and Braifsford,
bankrupts, against Richard Hill, G. B. Mainwarittg.
Samuel Hill, and Ward, on a bill of exchange for
01637. Ss- 9d. dated the 10th of October, 1814,
Drawn by the defendants on Messrs. Mainwaring,
Chatteris, and Co. payable sixty-one days after date,
and endorsed to the bankrupts. The defendant IL
Hill had suffered judgment by default, and the other
defendants had pleaded the general issue.
Mr. MADHYA TT shortly opened the case to the Jury,
and proved that the bill was drawn in the hand.
writing of S. Hill, in the name of the firm of Hill and
Co. that it had been endorsed to the plaintiffs; and
had not been paid when due by the acceptors.
Mr. SCAR LETT, for the defendant Ward, contended
that he was not in a situation at the time the bil;
was drawn to be made liable by the act of the actual
drawer. Samuel Hill had, indeed, been in partner-
ship with his brothers, with the other defendants, and
with Mr. Chatteris, one of the acceptors, in a concern
called the stone pipe manufactory, at Fox-hill, in
Gloucestershire; but it would be shesvn, thai at the

time when the bill was drawn, this partnership had
ceased, that Mr. Ward knew nothing of the transac-
tion, and that this bill was drawn entirely for the ac-
commodation of Mr. Chatteris; all which facts were
known to the bankrupts.
Mr. NIA RRYATT, for Mr. Mainwaring, said that his
client had not only the same ground of defence with
Mr. Ward, but was also exonerated by a deed of
composition, whereby his creditors had released him
from all liability on payment of lOs. in the pound.
Witnesses were called to prove the dissolution of
partnership, the deed of release, and the knowledge
with which the bankrupts took the bill.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed that several
points of law would arise fit for the consideration of
the Court, and some questions of fact on which he
should desire the opinion of the Jury. He therefore
summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after stating
their opinion on the points submitted to them, found
a verdict for the plaintiffs, subject to the opinion of
the Court on a special case.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—THIS DAY.
SEDITIOUS LIBELS.
THE KING V. SUSANNAH WRIGHT.

This morning, at nine o'clock, the avenues of the
Court of King's Bench were much crowded, it having
been announced that the case of Susannah Wright,
charged with disposing of two Addresses to the Re-
former's, and other works of Richard Carlile, stood
first for trial. On the CHIEF JUSTICE coming into
Court, the case was called on, and the Jury being
sworn, the defendant appeared, attended by some
female.; and, in answer to a question, said she had
no Counsel.

Mrs. Wright asked on which libel she was to
be tried ? and was informed, it was on the 66 New
Year's Address to the Reformers." She wished time
to prepare her defence to that indictment.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—" Your defence should have
been prepared."
Mr. GASELEE then, in stating the case to the Jury,
proceeded to reprobate the publishing of such libels,
commenting upon several passages, as letters that
were addressed to the Rev. Mr. Wayte, of Bristol,
contending that it was the intention of the defendant
and such persons, by publishing these works, to de-
stroy the religious institutions of the country. The
Learned Counsel then proceeded to call the following
witnesses:
Mr. James Bignold, who stated he went to N 0.55,
Fleet-street, on the 9th of May, and purchased of the
defendant a pamphlet called 66 A New Year's Ad-
dress to the Reformers," and paid 2d. for it. He also
purchased, on the 30th of May, another of the same
description of publication, only bearing a different date.
The defendant cross-examined this witness, during
which he stated that he had a pension of 751. per an-
niim, and he was in the employ of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice, permanently. He was in the
employ of Government, but for what he was dis-
charged he does not know.
A young man appearing at this time to be in•
structing the defendant,
The CHIEF JUSTICE said, " Who are you, that thus
improperly directs the defendant ?"
The person replied be was Mrs. Wright's friend.
The CHIEF JUSTICE--" Sir, you must withdraw."
The defendant being called on for her defence, said
that she wished the Jury would read the letters al-
leged to be part of the libel.
The CHIEF JUSTICE.—" That cannot be, the offi-
cer of the Court will read them, and that is quite

Current prices:
ENOLLss.
Wheat, Kent and

sufficient."
Mr. Abbott, the clerk of the Court, then proceeded
to read a se. ies of letters forming a correspondence
between Mr. Richard Ca►lile, the Rev. Mr. Wayte,
Mr. Cashell, and Mr. Taylor. These being concluded,
Mrs. WRIGHT entered on her defence, which she
read from a written paper she said, the Jury ought
to dismiss the case; and, from strong conviction, she
declared she had imbibed the principles of the Carliles,
and was ready to stand or fall by the verdict of this day.
She declared most solemnly that the works were not
published with any wicked or vicious intention. The
remainder of the defence was a kind of history or de-
scripti9n of the principles so perniciously avowed by
the Carliles.—The Trial was proceeding 'when this
Paper was put to press.

On the 15th of June, towards evening, immense
Jamage was dune at Darmstadt by a tremendous
storm. The crops a►e all cut to pieces, the largest
Imes torn up by the roots, all the windows in the
city, that were esposed to the storm, were dashed to
pieces, and the palace garden entirely laid waste.

IN

DISTRESS IN IRELAND:

ti
IRON FAULICNIRS.DUNLIN JOURNAL Of FRIDAY.
We did not anticipate any mitiration of distress
until the commence Lent 01 harve,t. Until the p statue
crop shall be savei the peasantry cannot e food
arising from their own re.ources, but they will obtain
employment, and of course subsistence, as soon as the
coin is ready for the sickle.

The subscriptions, and the money advanced by
Government, are em ploy ing and supporting thousands,
and, so far, the general distress is mitigated.
The fi ightfiil estent of the sufferings of the people
may he learned from
.the Reports of the Baronial
Committees.
The following summary from the Weekly Reports
of the County of Clare, presented to the Central
Committee, may convey some notion bi the extant Qf
,he calamity which affects that Count• :

Tott.a.—( Upper Half Barony)-2674 families, comprising
15,95.3, persons, relieved at reduced prices.
From the foregoing reports we collect that 17,527 families,
consisting of 92,015 individuals, ate receiving relief at reduced
prices, and that 6060 families, containing 27,603 persons ate Ku
ceiving gratuitous relief.
iscurQuitt—During the last week, six hundred men a day In
the several parishes, have been employed at the wag s of fats..
peace a day, upon public works. A further sum of £ll6 hrs been
appropriated to the same purposes. for continuing mplurnent
to the numerous distressed objects, who had exhausted every re-
' source they possessed. They adduce as a conclusive proot of the
extent of the die:ress in that Barony, that any wages were gladly
accepted ; and that they cannot afford employment to the nu-
merous applicants.
TULLA (Upper Half Barony) reports:—The Committee beg
leave to observe, that this week will exhaust their funds, the
consumption of the half Barony requiring 24 tons of meal.
The Report from Ibrickane states that the Committee have
expended in one week, upon gratuitous relief, £l4O. 7s. 3d. in
relieving 11,226 persons.—The Report from Aloyarta scat s, that
to relieve 11,133 persons for a fortnight cost them £744. Os. Id.
—more than five times the expense incurred by Ibrickane for a
greater number.—ln Muyarta, they receive one day's labour for
every eightpence worth of provision. Muyarta Report states,
that fever and dysentery are very prevalent.
I.lneater.—ln the parish of Killeedy, which 11.15 miles long
by three in breadth, there prevails a most appalling degree of
distress, and there are more than 400 families, or about 2000
persons, in absolute destitution of the necessarivs 01 life, and a
great portion of these must inevitably perish by famine, unless
speedily relieved.

The sale at Wanstead House proceeds with un-
abated ardour. The magnificent ebony sofa and chaits
and two state beds, were knocked down at an enor-
mous price.
True bills for a conspiracy have been found by the
Grand Jury of Middlesex against 'look, Harrison,
and Connell, three of the per-ons on m hose accusation
Thomas Jay, the helper in the Ku.g's stables, %%as re-
cently tried at the Old Bailey, an .1 acquitted of the
charge of picking a Gentleman's pocket of a gold
watch, &c. on the night the KING ‘‘ eta to Drury-
lane Theatre. Mr. Ex-S!aeriff PARKINS was the prin-
cipal party in preferring the bill of indictment against
these persons.
The Moor Birds are very likely to he scarce in Yorkshire the
apptoaching season. The reason given for this opinion, is,
that they are found dead in great numbers on all parts or both
the High and Low Moors, supposed to be the effect of the late
excessive heat.

WEIGUTIIAN TILROWN AGAIN !—Monday, at Durdar, the above
celebrated wrestler, who lately challenged the whole cou.:ty of
Cumberland, was thrown by James Graham, of K,..::,,t0n,
formerly of Bassenthwaite. This is the third tim.; he has been
thrown since his celebrated contest with Richardson.
PeNzance, JULY 6.—Our pilchard fishery is about commencing,
and preparations are ilready making for carrying it on on a re-
spectable scale—reports from the coast of France, the &illy,
Islands, and the coasters in the North being exceed-
ingly favourable and encouraging.
CORN EXCHANGZ, MARK-LANE, JULT B.—Our market was very
largely supplied with all grain to-day, but early in the morning
picked samples of
.lissrx Wheat sold neon the same terms as on
this day se'imight : all other descriptions were exceedingly dull,
at a reduction of from is. to 2s. per quarter, and a considerable
quantity remained undisposed of, which could not be got off at
that abatement. Barley is Is. per quarter lower than last Mon-
day, but fine fresh samples obtained Friday's prices. The supply
of Oats and Brans being very considerable, and tar exceeding
the demand, the sale of each was extremely heavy, at a decline
of tiont Is. to 2s. per quarter. Peas are also :ather cheaper.—
