1061143M1 V PATTLILSOII.

Mr. Lars moved that an exottertirr be put on the
bail•pieee in the above atSc•n. The defendant had
originally been arrefted fora fum under 201. and being
bailed, was fubfequently impreffed at a lemon, and
conveyed on board the tender, where he entered.—
The application, therefore, was to prevent the bail
being fixed, upon the ground that the Crown having
obtained a polreffory right in the IMendant's perfon,
the hail were not enabled to furrender him. The Court
Were of opinion, looking into the provifions of the
32d of the King, ch. 33, that the women-ger fliould be
ranted ; but as it had been fworn that the bail were
indemnified, the cafe was ordered to Rand over. with
a view of afcertaini..g that Go. This is a very im-
portant point, both as it regards the creditor and the
bail.

JUNI 7.--THE [INC V. ',NW 11159/FLL.

The Defendant had been convifted before Mr.'
Baron Thompfor, at the latt Hampfhire AlTizes, of
endeavouring to provoke Thomas Andrew Minchen
t.i fight a duel He this day appeared to receive the
fentence of the Court. The report of the Learned
judge, whd prefided at the trial, was read by Mr.
'office Le BLaac, from which the following circum
dances appeared s On tile I 9th of November a meet-
ing of the imam for public works was held in the
town of Golport, for the purpole of the elation of a
clerk, for which fituation, the Defendant and a gen•
tleman of the name of Parforis were candidates. In
this contefl, Mr. Minchen took an :alive part agai•tft
the Defendant, which gave rife to the following ob.l
fervatinn from him, to one of hi. friends of the name
of Collins : it was made in the public room during
the time the elation was proceeding, in the hearing of
Mr. Minchen " I wonder, Mr. Collins, after the
opinion you have given of him, that you aft with
that rafcal." To this the prolecutor coolly replied,
"he treated what was laid with contempt." This ex-
ertion of moderation by Mr. Minchen fo much irri-
tated the Defendant, that he indent)), exclaimed—
" if you did not treat it fo, I would prcfently make
you teel the confequences. You a'e a fcoundrel-1
tell yin, you are a Icoun,lrel." Two Magiarates,
one of whom was named jelh:ne, were then prefent,
and heard this canoe' ration, but refuted to intercre,
and the Prolecutor was obliged to put up with the
affront. On a fishier-pent day (the 13th of January)
another meeting was held for the fame purpufe, when
the Defendant repealed his infults, proclaiming to
the perfons pretent that he would affront Mr. Min.
chen wherever he met him. Some gentlemen re-
lent took down the converfation, which was figned by
a number of auditor,, and among others by the Qe.
fendant, who at the fame time obrerved, " You may
infert it it you will, in theifamihireTe/v-aAthe Sram,
or the Sun, if you like ir, and every other newfpaper;
I d not ca-e." Evidence was likcwife produced at
the trial which pros ed that the Defendant, even dur-
ing the proceedings, inferted thefe words on the back
of a feat, with a view of republilhing his infults on
the Profecutor, "The King v. 11ci'w4.11, fur calling
Mr. Minchen a fernindrel!

No affidavits being produced on either fide,
Mr. Jean/. addrerfed their Lordthips for the De-
fendant, in mirivtion of punifhment. He faid, that
the milcanduCt of the Defendant irofe at a time the
moil likely for the feelings to be agitated, during the
time of an eleftion, and was not the conf.lnence of
any deliberate animerfity. ' The aufwer of the prole
cuter was extremely irritating, whets he faid he treat.
ed it with contempt.
Lord ELLemboa•tuom.—k How would you have
him treat it, with civility ? Certainly he treated It
with the contempt it deferved."
After Mr. BVIROVOUS had been heard for the
Plaiutitf,
