was issued on the view of all deoHldogiotrates, *bait
names are mentioned,* is false, tad consequently,
by parity of reasoning, the warrant is illegal."
Mt. gt.t.ts.“ The averments have failed corn.
pletelr."
[Here Mr. Williams was observed to smile incr.-
clammily.] •
Mr. KINtiAIRD..." I did not expect Mr. Williams
would have laughed at that which, it he had but con.
sidered, he moat have admitted."
Mr. 'WILLIAMs•-•44 I did not laugh."
Mr. CONSTABLE.--" Oh ! no, itts only a Mel? ! If
there is any thing funny about Williams, it is a :mile

of renentanee."
WILLIANISse Those who hear you, know how
to appreciate what you say."
Mr. CONSTABLE---" Those who hear me do know
how to opieciate what I say—and so much the worse
for you."
Mr. KINNAIRD--44 I am only surprised how any
man could put his risme to such an instrument."
Mr. WILLIAMP..." Suppose all the. Magistrates who
signed the warrant -joined in the resolution upon
which it was founded ?"
Mr. SMITH—•" As the warrant is false, we must
stop all further proceedings. I beg to declare, how.
ever, that 1 hold no personal enmity to Wilson, and
would haiellotte him no intentional injury."
Mr. Cossuma-0 I am very certain you would

not."
Mr. SMITH—" I have acted on this occasion as
upon all others--with perfect independence."
Mr. Ei.t.ise." It' is quite clear that Wilson was
walking in the most harmless manner; he never
committed any breach of the peace—and. having
walked 750 miles, the booths, which were the real
nuisance, being removed, I think he might have lisen
permitted to finish his undertaking."
Mr. MASON—" I must say the averment, on the
face of the warrant, is not eonect. I did not see the
alteration when I signed the warrant; 1 only saw the
oriAinal draft, and did not read the copy when I
signed k."
Mr. Wrwasts--44 The aiteration was made in the
warrant to make it correspond with the original re-
solution of the Bench, at which all the Gentlemen
whose names are mentioned were present."
Mr. Ssilru--,4 1 did not see the erasure alluded to
when I signed the warrant. or I would not have put
my name to it, as I could not but admit as incorrect-
ss. My sole object in what I did was to abate what
I conceived to bL: a great nuisance."
Mr. Coesranct Come, let us have no trifling,
twit saddle the right horse. Mr. Bicknell, I ask you,
did you make the alteration in the warrant
Mr. BICKNELL..." did not."
Mr. WILLIAMS..." There. is no act which I have
done that lam ashamed to avaw. When the war.
ra..t was brought to me to be signed, I perceived it
was nut in conformity with the original resolution,
and I therefore erased the word " reveral," to make
it agree."
He here referred to the resolution, and begged the
Rev. Dr. Clarke, who was present, to read the war-
rant, while he read the resolutior.
Dr. CLARKE politely declined the office.
Mr. SMITH...." Mr. Goodenceigh was present when
the retilutions of the Bench were passed, but declined
having any thing to do with the warrant."
Mr. ConsTani.a. addressing himself to Mr. Bick-
nell-4 By whom were you ordered to prepare the
warrant ?"
Mr. WILLIAMS--" By me."
Mr; Etaas-44 I apprehend my client is at liberty ?"
Mr. WILLIAIIB--" I have the opinion of an able
lawyer, that the warrant is good in form and sub.
stance, but as I cannot withstand die judgment of
my colleagues, I must succumb."
Wilson was then declared to be free !
A Gentleman connected with the Newspapers now
stepped forward, and in answer to The charge brought
by Mr. Williams in the ealy part of the proceedings
against Newspapers in general, for having published
falsehmals, begged to state, that all the statements
1w had seen were founded in fact.
Mr. ‘VILLIAUS was ready, he said, to state what
he alluded to.
The Gentleman in question desired to say, if Mr.
Williams alluded to the &Smut answers given by
Iris servants at Lea, the one declaring him et home,
and the other abroad, the statement in the public
pants was most correct, as such had actually been
the case, and he was ready to give evidence to the
circumstance from his own observation. If from
die publication of this singular discordance of story
any inference unpleasant to the feelings of Mr. Wil-
liams had been drawn, it did not therefore follow that
the Newspapers merited the accusation of falsehood.
Mr. WILLIAMS wisjied to explain, but the subject
being considered disposed of, he was over-ruled.
Mr. CONSTABLE said, lie believed Mr. Williams
was not at home on the day in question.
Throughout the whole of this unprecedented pro.
ceetling, the room WAS crowded to excess, and, as
may be supposed, in so mixed an assembly, there
was a strong expression of feeling where the discus.
!ion was calculated to excite it. Mr. Constable
especially received unbounded applause, as did Mr.
Kinnaird and Mr. Ellis, whose firm and manly con-
duct deserves every praise.
Poor Wilson was perfectly passive, and at the
conclusion of the business was drawn home to Mr.
Dyer's house, on Blackheath, decorated with blue
ribbons, and hailed by the applause of some thousands
of spectators.
It is but due to add, that much praise was given
to Mr. Smith, far the manly and candid manner in
which he conducted himself throughout the whole
discussion.

At a late Corporatioa Dinner, the security of '
Funded Property became the general topic of conver-
sation, when a Gentleman of the Law, who was ap-
pealed to on the subject, thus addressed the com-
pany :•••••44 Every parson possessed of Stock, whether
in S pkt cent. conbols, or in any other Government
Fund, becomes a creditor of the nation for that sum;
and all the land in the country, as well as the houses,
the shipping, the manufactures, and the merchan-
dize—in fact, all the cash, and every other kind of
property in the kingdom, whether belonging to indi-
viduals or to the State, is mortgaged to pay the
Three Prizes of ag50,U90 and the Four Prizes of
£20,000 in the present Lottery ; and as they may
all be drawn 7th November, no time should be lost
. in buying a Ticket or a Shari to secure one of them."
