CRIMINAL INFORMATION, MORNING CHRONICLE

THE LINO V. CLEZELENT.

The ATTORNZY•GINRRALanciPrOceeded to address their
Lordships, by skewing cause against a rule obtained by Mi. Gai-
ney on a former day against the defendant, Mr. Clement, the Pro-
prietor of the Morning Chronicle, for certain alleged libelous
articles published in that Journal, reflecting upon the conduct and
character of the Re.v. 11r. Kcitwick, who resided in Surrey, and
is also a Magiarate of the same county. The Learned Gentleman
was proceeding to argue his grounds for the removal of rile cri-
niinal inforntai ion so obtained, when -
The LORD Cuter Justice intimated, that as this was a case of
very considerable importance, and as Mr. Justice Bayley was then
occupi d in justification of bail, it was advisable he should he
present, and the further proceedings were ordered to stand over
until his Lordship came into Court.
Soon after Mr. Justice Bayley took his seat with their Lordships,
The ATTORNZT•GINERAL resumed his argument in the above
cause, when the final result was, that the Court ordered the rile
to be discharged without costs.

We are happy to hear that the Marchioness of TA.
VISTOCIL is nearly recovered from the efficts of the accident occa-
sioned by her clothes taking fire while engaged at her toilet on
,Christmas day. The effects were more serious than were gene-
rally understood, and would unquestionably have been fatal had
'she not had the presence of mind to wrap herself up in the carptt,
but not before her neck was burned, and her finger nails totally
destroyed in pressing out the flames.
EDWARD BRAIIMONT, Esq. fourth son of Colonel
and Mrs. Beauatorm,of Bretton Hall, and late of the 10th ilu -
tars, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar, his cousin, Miss JAN/
Les, fourth daughter of Wit.r.u.st Lea, Fag, of Grove Hill.
