. .ItON GRAHAM AND A SPECIAL JURY. ,
LIVERPOOL THEATRE.
THE KING v. LEMON AND OTHERS.
This subject was brought before the Court upon a
criminal information against Mr. Abraham Lemon,
(the nephew of Dr. Solomon), and four othet persons,
ch.trging them with intendiag to injure and impoverish
mr.William Thomas Lewis and Mr. Thomas Knight,
the Managers of the Liverpool Theatre, and for that
purpose conspiring to compel them, by riotous and
tumultuous proceedings, to admit persons to theThea-
tre at half-pr ice.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Mr. Serjeant Cockell)
stated to the Jury the nature and object of the
.prose.
cation. He observed, that the public had, by design.
ing persons, been grossly deluded with respect to the
law upon the subject of the conduct to be observed in
Theatres and places of public entertainment. They
'r id, he sai.l, an undoubted right to express their dis-
,vrobatien of a theatrical performance, or the per-
!Jrmers, provided it was done bow fide and fairly ;
but anv tumult which.was the result of previous con-
cert and conspiracy, either against particular Actors
or the Managers, was on offence of equal magnitude
with that of conspiring to injure any other individual
in his person or property He severely censured those
who had been ins.rumental in deluding the unwary,
describing then, men, who, under the pretence of
liberty,were in dispo,ition theveriest tyrants. He point-
ed ont, in torcitrle language, the danger whichwas to
be apprehended from a lawless mob, whatever might
be the suppn,e I cause for exciting it; and he cited
as an instance the dreadful riots in the year 1780.
He r tid a higrr compliment to Mr. Lewis, and re-
gretted that the evening of his life, spent in the ser-
vice of the public, should have met with the return it
had. Having stated that persons had never been ad-
mitted at half-price to the Liverpool Theatre since
,tsc,iginal establishment, and commented upon the
ppyriety of such an exclusion in that populous and
turbulent town, he proceeded to detail the facts,
which were deposed to by the witnesses ; and con-
cluded his address, by expressing his firm persuasion
that the verdict on this occasion would convince the
defendans, and the public at large, of the illegality
of that conduct which had called for the present pro-
secution.

A vast number of witnesses were examined, who
treved a variety of acts of violence, and the evidence
completely implicated all the rioters named in the
record.

Mr. Ram addressed the Jury with great ability
on the part of the defendants. The scope of his ar-
gument was chiefly directed to repel the charge of
conspiracy.
Mr. Baron GRAHAM was of opinion, that the evi-
dence went sufficiently to the proof of a conspiracy;
but, as the consequences of a conviction for that
offence were so highly penal, he recommended that
the count in the information for the conspiracy should
be given up.
This proposition, after some discussion, was we-
ceded to by the Arronten-GENERAL, who observed,
that the prosecution was not carried on by Messrs.
Lewis and Knight, but by the Magistrates of Liver-
pool. _ _

The defendants were then Acquitted of. the Con-
spiracy, and found Guilty of the Riot. •
THE KING V. CARTER.
This was a prosecution of a similar nature, and the
iendant was also found Guilty.
The trials occupied the time of the Court from ten
in the morning till six in the evening..

The REDBREAST, Sir GEORGE KEITH, has arrived
at Yarmouth with the convoy from Heligoland. By
this conveyance we learn that some apprehensions are
entertained there of a visit from the enemy in conse-
quence of the embargo in the Dutch ports. When
the convoy sailed the inhabitants were all training to
the nse of arms, and were busily employed in remov-
ing their goods to the upper Island for greater security.

a small boat at Havre, under pretence of going over

have not been informed of his name or rank, but Go-
vernment are, no doubt, in possession of the particulars.
Wednesday last, Si GEORGE M'KENZIE, whose de-
prture for Iceland on a scientific tour, we lately an-
ntuneed, returned in safest to Edinburgh. He was

tended with ample success, in consequence of the fine-
las of the weather during their stay on Iceland. -
