Mr. Fox Bt ANC's laid, he was to have the honour'
of addreffit g the Omit on the moti-n of Mr. Hart,
for the removal f Mr. Taylor from the management
of the Opera Houle. Mr. Corti}, Mr. L'wten, and
Mr. Palmer, were trufleec in this cafe. But the
affidavit which had been lately filed was fo long, that
it required time to pet ufe it, therefore he begged time
till T hut fday next.

LORD CH AN C LOR —" You fhnuld rev-die& Gen-
tlemen, that in the cafe of Drury-lane Theatre, i-uch
of what was done, was done by confent ; and could
not have been done without confent ; for it was in
the ablence tif a great number of parties interefitd
in the queilion ; arid it is a quefiifin whether all the
perfons who ate Box Proprietors—ltenters—all the
Ladies and Gentlemen inierefled in the property, of
the management of the Opera honk, &mild not be
made parties. That is for your confideration."
Mr. H A RT.••••-" 1 believe, my Lord, we than not
11.ve to encounter much difficulty on that account,
bec.itife the intereil of molt of the parties will be
fully reprefented by the Trufiees, Mr. Conk Mr.
Lowten, and Mr. Palmer."

Lf•RD CHANCELLOR That may be, and then
the quetlion is, whether the Cfflui que truji may not
file another Bill."

Mr. IticHARDs." When this motion is made,
your Lordfhip will not, 1 believe, find much difficulty
in difpofing of it."
LORD CruscELLPlt.----" If any objzaion had been
taken for want of parties in the Drolly-lane Theatre
cafe, then all the Mortgagee., Rerverf, and other
perfems interelted in the hbjeCl, muff have been
made parties ; and Co it may be in the prefent cafe ;
and if decilion of the malltr may become im-
praelicable."
A Gentleman among the Solicitors, affured his
Lordfhip there was no fimilarity in the prelim cafe
and that of Denry-lane Theatre.
LORD CHANCELLOR--" YOU will exeufe me, Mr.
MILLS, for not knowing the difference between them,
for I am not an Opera attendant."
Cafe ordered to :Lind over until Thurfday next.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. NOV. 11.
CRIMINAL INPIRMATIoN.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL applied for a Rule to
thew caufe why a criminal information fhonld not be
filed againfi George Francis Stuart, alias Ceunr
Stuart, for a fcandalous libel upon Major James.—
The pamphlet the Learned Counfel held in his hand,
was intended as an attack upon thole perfons who
were once concerned in, or countenanced the exceffts
cammitted during the French Revolution. Among
many others, it contained a defeription of an int!ivi-
dual under the title of " Marat }heel ;" and the
author, under this affumed name, evidently meant
to defignate Major James, who held a cnmmiffion in
one of his Majetty's corps of Royal Artillery.
In page 43 of this publictrion, the libel complained
of was to be found, wheli Sir V. Grass read to their
Lordfhips. It Hated, that Marat Flacci endeavoured
to conceal the place of his birth, and the parents by
whom he was cherifhed; but that he would be a
lofer by it, even if he defeended from the lowell me-
chanic ; for his name deferved to be placed with
thofe of a French Damiens, or an Englith linathan
Wild. Although born a beggar, he had grown rich
without commerce or honelly ; and although a noted
leveller, yet neverthelefs he had received a commit.-
fion from an Engin Monarch. Without having a
claim to the title of a Gentleman, he was introduced
to the tables of the firft Noblemen. It proceeded to
fay, that Flacci was indebted for the wealth he en
jnyed, to the hal-eft condufl, to robbery and plunder 11
in France, and to unfair gambling in England. He
would not now have been in exillence, had it not
been 1. T an innate meanrefs in his charafter, which
prevented him from fuffering with his accomplices
abroad. The fame quality had been his recommen-
daticn to titled folly and deranged grandeur : he
began by licking the dolt tiff the feet of the great,
and anfwered purples by tithing hirnicit
to the time. The N.,Ciem.tit, whole recommendation
had made Lim a C mmander. and initiated him into
the reacts of the Sate, tilt; him, at the firli inter.
view, that he was an infamons villain.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL continued, and laid,
that there v. e,e other t bfervazions upon the fame
perfon ; and, 1... r the purpefe of (hewing that the
profecutor, 'Major James, was the perfon here in-
tended to be dtpiaed, he held in his hand the curter
pondence of different perfons upon the fubjeft, and
am, ngft them n as one, in the French language, from
the Defendant, olferving, refpeaing Major James
and others, that they would ruin him, but he would
ruin them—"Cas voudrcit me padre, mairje les perderai."
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" In this Work, does the
Author allude to the Kingdom of England ?"
Mr. Gartativ, on the fame fide with Sir V. Grass,
replied, that in this publication the Author imagined
himfelf to be in a dream, and fuppofed that thi' coun-
try was in the poffeflion of Francis I. He pi4lured,
in this fuppofed vifion, that England was in a Rate
of revolution, and then defcribed all the perfons he
made aCtors in the fcene.
The Av-roesev Gan Ettal. added, that there was
no doubt but that fuch was the fa& The Author
fancied a revolution, and, in defcribing the charafters
of his dramatis perfons, among them was the fcanda
1 at, libel he had read.

The C, urt enquired, whether there was any evi-
dence to {hew that the perton alluded to under the
title of Marat Flacci was intended to reprefent the
prfecutor
The ATTORNSY GENERAL anfwered, that there
could be no doubt as to that WI; for the author had
fail that Marat Flacci was Grand Mailer of the Ord.
stance, in his fuppofed dream, when in truth Major
James did held a fituation of milt in the Ordnance
Office. Betides that, Mr. Stuart had termed Arlo le-
ftreet, where the pp fecutor refided, Marat Itreet,
plainly thewiag who was intended. The Learned
Counfel Lkewife read feversl affidavits, particularly
one from a Mr. J mes, who-deputed to a converration
with the Defendant, when the latter obfer Ted to him
that there were already too marl Jacobins in the
country,and feint r t them held 11111.60ns where they
could do much mifchief He could point out a man
be faid, who bore a ronfidtrable rank in the army,
end whr was entrulted in the confideritia:strairs

)
of the kingdom—islainti_aMembei of the Munici-
palitiss of Paris during sbe.laerrors,,of gse, .10th o
11.,ugnc4, and he hinifelf (the Defendant), hid ,(een
hint. mating yifiti in that 'city. He
Gke-
wife'Taidi..thar bkisid been proferibed. Ma k %nil
added that he had no reafon to conceal this man, his
name was Major James. He concluded by obferving,
that the profecutor knew him perfedly well, and the
public fhonld loon be made acquainted with Major
James's charader. He was not a Britilh fubjed, but
born at Liege. When Mr. Jones afterwards again
met the Defendant, the fame affertions were repeated.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH-14 Does any body fay,
that upon reading this libel, they Ihuuld underaand
it to mean Major James ?"
Mr. Gartauw--46 Yes, my Lord, Major James
(wears it himfeif."
Lord ELLENDOII.OI.IGH" Otherwife, it Teems fo
los,fe and unapplied that we might have fome diffi-
cuby."
Mr. GARROW.-..." Your Lordllip will fee that there
are other charaders alluded to in the fame way,
where Englilh names are changed into a foreign form,
(omething like the original.—Rule granted.
