LAW REPORTS.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, JUNE

CRIMINAL INFOU MtT lON.

Mr. CAMPBELL shewed cause against a rule for a
criminal information obtained by Messrs. HEADLAND and
CORK, Solicitors, against JAMES THOMPSON and Meters.
CUNNINGHAM And SALMON, for a libel in The Sotrisi.
After both parties had been heard, the Court discharg:d
the rule. The facts of the case to which the libel r..
ferred were as follows :—A person named Gregory had taken
possession of a house under a covenant that a person named
Walker, who let it to him, would make out a good title to it
within a limited time. He failed to do so, and Gregory,
keeping possession, was arrested by Welker for rent, although
he bad no legal tight to do so, and Headland, who was ac.
quainted with all the circumstances, had acted as attorney for
Walker in the covenant and arrest. With respect to the
rule against Messrs. Cunningham and Salmon, whom the
plaintiffs had sworn they believed to be the real printers ut
the Satiria, affidavits had been made by Thompson and the
two others that they were. This rule would, thetefore be
discharged as to them on that ground, but without costs.

azx V. JONES.

In this case, it will be recollected, the defendant, who ii
a respectable surgeon. had been found guilty of giving a cer-
tificate of lunacy without having seen the patient for some
time, who afterwards turned out to be sane. T.te defendant,
on his coming up for judgment, stated on affidavit that I.e
was not aware that he was obliged by the Act of Parliament
to see the indent immediately before the aignlng of the cer-
tificate. Lord Ts/mutt:put said it was perhaps as well to
warn medical gentlemen against this error; and Mr. Justice
LITTLEDALZ passed judgment on the dticudant, who w.ts
sentenced to pay a fine of 2W. to the King.

EX-PASTE GASEILL.

Sir Loma SCAILLZTT applied to the Court in behalf of
Mr. Gaskill, a solicitor at Wigan, for a rule to show cause
why a criminal information should not be filed against
Henry Cropp, printer and publisher of the Bolton Chro-
nicle, for a libel lately published in that paper. The
subject arose out of the late election at Wigan, and dur.
Mg which it was insinuated that Mr. Gaskill had had
recourse to some unfair expedients, in order to favour the
cause of the Tory Candidates, by writing an anonymous letter.
Mr. Gaskill stated, that from a variety of circumstances it was
generally understood that he was alluded to ; and he had
the affidavits of several others, stating their belief that such
was the ease. Mr. Gaskill swore that he did not write the
anonymous letter, and that he never wrote an anonymous
letter in his life, and all his clerks swore that none of them
wrote it. Mr. Gaskill added, that he believed the intent, as
well as the tendency of this imputation, to be to bold hint
up to public indignation, which, at a time like the present,
might be followed by serious injury to his property, and even
to his person.—Rule granted.

DREADFUL CASII OF POISONING.
An inquest was held yesterday afternoon on the body of

poured from a bottle what she supposed was ale, and the
deceased drank it, when he discover,d it was a liquid very
