ON 'rii P. QUEEN.

TIIE ICING v. Till: EV. J. EL ACOW.

.When the Loan CHIEF his Tina took his seat, at
half-past tea o'clock, lie h:furrned Mr. PARKS that
the Court had taken into its consideration his appli-
cation, that her Majesty the Queen should file an
.la vit of her innocence before the defendant was
called upon to answcr the Rule obtained against hint
for a criminal inf4niation. The Court were of opi-
nion that, on account of the illustrious. rank of the
party, such an affidavit ought not to be required.

The Rule, therefore, for the Cri:niaal Information
against the Rev. Mr. Bancow, for a libel upon her
Majesty, is made absolute.
Our Readers will recollect, that the libel was in a
Sermon preached by the Rev. Gentleman, at Liver-
pool, and afterwards published by him, with Notes.
ELECTING A LEGISLATORIAL ATTORNEY AT

BIRSIINGHAM.

THE XING V. MAJOR CARTWRIGHT AND OTHERS.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the Court for
judgment upon John Cartwright, Esq. J. T. Wooler,
George Edmonds, J. G. Lewis, and Madocks,
who were convicted at the last Summer Assizes for
the County of Warwick.

The record of the convictiop was then read, and
the defendants took their places on the floor of the
Court.

The Lord Chief,Justice ABBOTT observed, that as
Mr. Cartwright was a Gentleman advanced in yews,
he might be permitted to have a seat; one was ac-
cordingly provided for the Major, and his friend,
Mr. Walker.

Mr. Justice BEST then proceeded to read over the
notes of the trial, and had nct finished before one
o'clock. As the defendants had then severally to ad.
dress the Com t at great length, the judgment cannot
be pronounced until a very late hour in the day.
