farm, she declined answering the questiun. After 1
number of other asservatiosis on the case, the Learned
Counsel concluded by expressing his sincere convic-
tion that they had acted by no means soh any intent
to he gnihy of contempt, and in the case petition had
been put in alter petition, on subject n.attos not un-
der the jurisdiction of she Court. -
Mr. WINGFIELD, on the same side, maintained that

the case of assessing d:,mages was not wiii.in his
Lordship's province, and the propos.l of referring
it to the Master seemed only to be made with a view
of entangling the proceedings.
Sir S. koint.i.if made an animated reply. He
should certainly not take up his L'.r.iihip's time in
answering what had been said on the woe( side, for
of all IA had heard, there were two-th;rds perfectly
foreign to the question. It was morally impossible
for any man to look to the caw, and nut be satisfied
that the whole was an act of revenge en their parts,
fur the defeat they had sustained in the nullifying of
Richmond's commission. His Lordship could cot
redeem the two years of misery this pour aged fe-
male had endured by any judgthent he could give,
but it s.as te,tpurative that iontee.ing should be dune.'
It w•ts shocking to every humane reeling to see the
outrage which had been commltted on the occasion,
mid he hoped his Lordship would skew a just sense
of .it, and decide accordingly.
The L:nto CiteNcEt-Lon—" I shall decide the eve
on Tuesday. as that thy S shall raerve myself solely
for giving judgments."
This case was partly heard on Wednesday, and
occupied the Court nearly four hours this day.

COUR f ON KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER to.
MURDER AND TUMULT AT INICIMToN.

We stated in our Law Reports of last.week. that
Mr. SHEPHERD had obtained two Rules, one for a
Certiorari, to bring into this Court the proceedings
before a Coroner's Inquest held at Brighton, on the
body of a man named Thomas Rawles. who died of
a bayonet wound received from a soldier during the
recent riots at brigiston, on the sth of November ;
and the other fora Habeas Corpus, to bring up from
Horsham Gaol the body of James Day, a private in
the Ist Royal Scotch Fusiliers, against wl.tiot, as
principal, and two other persons, named White and
Williams, as aciessaries, the Coroner's Jury had
found a verdict. charging them with the death of
the deceased, tot the purpose of these three persons
being admitted to bail until the next Sussex Assizes.
The three persons thus charged now appeared in
Court, and the Coroner's return being read, from
which it appeased that there was no malice propense
imputable to them,
Mr. Scant-are moved that they should be admit.
ted to bail, ulaich the Court accordingly ordered, andl
ithe defendants White and Williams, who appeared
to be respectable men, hiving acted on the occasion
in question as peace-officers, forthwith entered into
security to appear at the Alsizes, themselves in £4OO
each, and lour sureties in reloo each respectively,
and the other person, Day, having given security
himself in £3O, and four sureties in aiR42O each, they
were all discharged.

CRIMINAL INteIIMATION.

--.---
Mr. SCARLWiT now addressed the Court, and said.
that be was imitructed to move for a criminal infor-
thation against.the Editor of a Newspaper, fur having
,published in his Journal a statement concerning_what
occurred at Brighton on the day above alluded to,
which was calculated to have an improper effect on
the minds of the Coroner's Jury.- • He was aware that
he could not m.ke this application ea the last day of
Term ; but he requested that the Court would receive
the notification of his intentioa to apply to the Court
los this purpose on the first •day of next Term.
Lord Es.uttraciaocou ....fig I hope the Information
will have the effect of making the Editors of Papers
more guarded for the futures for I do assure the
party, the Court will not visit the offence lightly.
The publication of any thing which tends to irritate
the public mind by these ex parer statements, is most
reprehensible."
Mr. Scant.rre" There is too much reason to be-
lieve (without imputing any improper motive to thy
Editor), that the publications in this ease have had
ainsiderable influence on the minds of the Jury."
Lord ELLeszonotiou—i' The Court consider that
you have liberty to make your motion on the first day
of next Term."

rob the house Letonging to the India Baaid, in
Canon•row (formerly the Transport Iliard). The
however, were frustrated in their designs by
the vigilance of the housekeeper.
