freely, fully supporting the prices of this day. week.
The prices of Refined StiKars ate much in pfo-
portion than the raw article, and as tireprriccs of,
Muscovades are more firmly maintained thin was an-

accustomed to : in several instances lower prices
have been submitted to. Molasses ',entails steady.-

poi considerably higher.
Mime, FLAX, AND TALLOW.-The wind having
for some days been to the eastward, and the expecta-
tion in consequence of very extensive arrivals from
the Baltic, has occasioned a great stagnation in the
demand for Russia produce ; the prices of TaP.ow is
Is. to 2s. lower, and the market exceedingly heavy

LAW INTELLIGENCE..

COURT OF RING'S MICR. Jan 9.

TSB ZINO, OH THZ PROSZCATION Of VIZ MARQUIS
OP ZRZTILR, Ip. DILACARD.
Mr. Gtrearr sheered cause against a rule obtained
at the commencement of the Term by Mr. Clarke,
calling upon Mr. Drakard, of Stamford, to shew
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against him for printing and publishing in his News-
paper, in the month of March last, a scandalous and
defamatory libel upon the young Marquis of Exeter,
in the form of a letter addressed to his Lordship,
reflecting upon his moral conduct towards the femak
inhabitants of Stamford.
It will be recollected that when the Rule was
moved for, the Court expressed some doubt of the
propriety of granting it, inasmuch as the Noble
Marquis's affidavit did not sufficiently traverse the
statement respecting his conduct in the alleged libel.
The letter in question, which appeared to be written
by a skilful hand, purported to be an admonitory
address to the young Nobleman, cautioning him
against the repetition of vices which marked his first
dawn of manhood, and beseeching him to restrain a
disposition which portended a state of confirmed de•
of mind and manners. It indirectly charged
with various acts of indecorum, and the viola-
tion of decency towards the young ladies of the town,
whom it was stated he treated with libertine freedom
—that he was in the habit of parading the streets up
and down all day long, on horseback and on foot,
under the auspices of a Captain Percey—rudely star-
ing young women out of countenance, as they stood
at their father's windows—kissing others in the most
public manner—peeping into windows of private
houses, and winking at females of eespectable cha-
racter—misconducung himself in like manner at the
public theatre—presuming upce his lordly rank, to
rake liberties, and insult young females, to the
.great
annoyance of the whole town, and to the violate= s
public decency and decorum.
Mr. GORNIY. in :hewing cause, commenced by
'saying, that on the presentroccasion he was instructed,
to discharge the Rule—not upon a single affidavit
alone, but upon a multitude which would completely.
satisfy the Court that they ought not to interfere by
the unusual process of criminal information. He
was not driven to contend for the propriety of the
letter addressed to the Noble Lord ; upon that sub-
ject he should not say a word; but he might be per-
mitted to say, that there might be many libels
brought before the Court, where the Court would
say that the Jury wore the proper tribunal to deter-
mine the guilt or innocence of the publisher. In
desiring the Court to interpose by the extraordinary
mode of criminal information, it was the universal
rule to call upon the party seeking such a rensuly to
negative the defamatory allegations, plainly, pointed-
ly, and unequivocally—nay, in such a manner that
perjury could be assigned upon the affidavit. Now,
on the present occasion, the affidavit of the Noble
Lord, instead of containing a distinct denial of the
facts set forth in the alleged libel, he contented him-
self with a commentary upon the supposed intention
of the publisher in writing the letter, without con-
descending upon a distinct traverse of the circum-
stances set forth—he satisfied himself with asserting
" that such insinuations and statements were ground-
less,- false, and malicious." Supposing, therefore,
that the publication in question was libellous, the
Noble Lord had not done enough to warrant the
Court in their interposing. The matters charged
against the Noble Lord were, that he was in the habit
of riding and walking in the streets of'Stamford, and
conducting himself in an indecent manner towards
the females of the town—that he also conducted him- ,
self in like manner in the box lobbies of the theatre,
to the great violation of decorum and propriety.
These matters were not sufficiently denied, and there-
fore the Noble Lord was not entitled to ask the Court
for a Criminal Information. There was a multitude
of cases in which this rule was strictly held to obtain;
and there was nothing in the present case to take it
out of the rule, that the facts alleged as libellous must
be pointedly traversed. The Noble Lord's affidavit
was supported by that of Captain Percey, who also
stated that on all occasions he had of observing the
conduct of the Noble Lord, he always demeaned
himself in a manner becoming a young Nobleman
towards his tenants. Now what that demeanour
was, it was very difficult to imagine from the terms
of this affidavit.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH. - Why, he means with
courtesy and kindness, and not with an abuse of his
station.

Mr. Gunxtv said, that he had the affidavits of
several persons who gave a different account of the
Noble Lord's conduct. Those affidavits he had shewn
to his Learned Friend, and he was bound now to
read them to the Court.

Mr. CLARKE objected to the reading of the affi-
davits, on the ground that the deponents only spoke
from hearsay, without naming who the persons were
from whom they receive their information.
Mr. Ghats: contended that he was at liberty to
lay before the Court such affidavits, as would afford
a sufficient apology for the publication. The Court,
in such a case as this, would not receive the affidavits
subject to the same strictness as viva voce evidence.
He had, however, several affidavits which were free
from this objection, and amongst others that of Mr.
Drakard himself, who stated facts which came within
his own knowledgc and personal observation. The
effect of these affidavits went to shew, that Lord
Exeter and Captain Percy were in the constant habit
of riding up and down the streets of Stamford, look-
ing in at windows, and actually staring the daugh-
ters of respectable inhabitants out of countenance,
then returning before they had gone fifty. yards to
the same amusement—observing the same conduct
at the windows of ladies schools and milliners' shops.
It was unnecessary, however, to detail all these affi-
davits, it being sufficient for the defendant to offer
such an apology, as he humbly hoped would be
sufficient to discharge the rule for a criminal infor-
mation. It was sworn that the Noble Lord was in
the habit of repeating his improper conduct fifty
times a day.
Lord ELLENsoamon—Give us a sample of your
affidavits, which state any particular facts.
Mr. GURNEY then read the affidavit of an indivi-
dual, whose name was not mentioned, stating that
deponent was acquainted with a respectable inhabi-
tant of Stamford, who bad two dauhters remarkable
for their beauty, and that be bad observed Lord

Exeter and Captain Percey pass up the high street,
and repeatedly look up at the window where the
young ladies were sitting, and as repeatedly drive
them from their seats by the rudeness of their con-
duct, and returning at intervals, to enjoy the same
kind of
Lord Inesonouon—Are these facts stated in
such a manner, that they might be the subject of
actual trial ?
Mr. Gummi replied in the affirmative, and added
that the affidavits stated that these gentlemen were
in the continual habit of parading the streets in this
manner fifty times a-day. Jie also read the affidavits
of a lady, who keeps a boarding-school at Stamford,
and another lady named Bolland, a milliner in the
town, both of whom bore testimony to the annoying
conduct of the Noble Lord and his military friend
towards the females under their care respectively.
Mr: CLARILZ said, that if the Court thought these
affidavits a sufficient answer to the application for a
criminal information, he should not press the matter
further. Lord Exeter did not deny his walking-in
the streets of Stamford, but he totally denied the truth
of the scandalous matters contained in the libel.
Lord ELLawsoitouom—The repetition of the act
complained of—the sort of staring into windows,
repeated so many times, imports the conclusion
that something of the kind did pass; and therefore
that which is made matter of complaint on his part,
is not sufficiently made out to warrant a criminal
information. He may go before the Grand Jury,
but there is no ground made out for a criminal
infot mation.
Mr. Cltaitz—This young Nobleman is only 18
years of age.
Lord ELLE'
a libel or not.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY—You have the power of
proceeding before the Grand Jury, and that very
promptly.
Mr. GURNEY assured the Court that there had
been no repetition of publications of this kind, and
Mr. Drakard swore that he had not sold more than
two coes of the paper beyond his regular circula-
tion.—. Rule discharged.
GLOVER O. THE DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
This was an application to set aside the inquisition
before the Sheriff, in an action by the husband of
Mrs. Glover, the actress, for nine weeks salary, at
101. a-week, claimed to be due to the plaintiff from
the defendants, but which had, in fact, been paid to
Mrs. Glover herself, who, it was stated, lives sepa-
rately from her husband with her children. The
Jury gave only one shilling damages, and the ground
taken for setting aside the inquisition was, that the
Sheriff had misdirected the Jury in point of law.—
'lt appeared that the verdict had proceeded upon an
idea that Mr. Glover had tacitly acquiesced in the
payment of the salary to his wife ; but it was con-
tended for the plaintiff, that the money had been
paid to her under a protest on his part, in violation
of his marital rights.
The Cowir held that it was impossible to make
Mrs. Glover a fene sole by the custom of the
Theatre ; and as her husband had a right to her
earnings by the laws of the land, the verdict was
wrong.—Rule absolute.
ELECTION SLANDER.-LACY RASHLEIGH.
This was a motion to bring back the venue from
Cornwall to Middlesex, in an action for slander, of
a very offensive description, alledged to have been
spoken by the defendant of and concerning the plain-
tiff, at the Borough of Fowey, in Cornwall, for
election purposes. The action had been originally
laid in Middlesex, but was moved by the defendant
to Cornwall, and was now desired by the plaintiff
to be brought back to Middlesex, on an affidavit,
stating, that he believed lie should not have so fair
a trial in Cornwall as in Middlesex, where he was
well known.
The COURT discharged the rule, holding the affi-
davit for restoring the venue insufficient.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. SCARLETT moved for a Rule to shew cause
why a criminal information should not be filed against
The Times Newspaper, for publishing a scandalous
and defamatory libel, of and concerning Lord Charles
Spencer Churchill, purporting to be an account of
a late unfortunate accident on the King's Road, on
the 20th ultimo, in which a Lady named Sherwin
came by her death, by the overturning of a gig, in
which she, another young Lady, and a gentleman
named Tooke, were riding, charging the Noble Lord
with being the culpable cause of the accident, from
his negligent and improper driving a gig, in which
he was riding. The alleged libd was contained in
a letter addressed to the Editor of the Times, and
purported to be an exaggerated account of the tran-
saction.--The Court were at first very much disin-
clined to listen to the application, but upon its being
stated that the proceedings at the Coroner's Inquest
were untruly stated, to the Noble Lord's prejudice,
the Court granted a Rule to shew cause.
HOLLOWAY V. GRIFFITH'.
An order having been made by the Coln some
days since, directing the defendant, an at , to
pay over certain monies received by him to the
tiff's use, and also to deliver his bill of costs, Mr. E.
LAwas now moved to set the order aside.
The circumstances were these—Some time since
two young Noblemen were guilty of a violent as-
sault upon the Plaintiff and his wife, the former of
whom was a turnpike-gate keeper, and the defendant
having been employed to prosecute the parties at the
' instance of the plaintiff, and the trustees of the road,
the business was compromised by the parties paying
1901. Of this sum the plaintiff only received 1041
and the defendant had declined rendering any ac-
count of the remainder to the plaintiff, on the ground
that he was accountable only to the Trustees, by
whom he was retained ; but the Court were of opi-
nion, that as the money was received on account of
the plaintiff's injui ies, he alone was entitled to receive
it, and therefore confirmed the order.
SOUTHWARK SESSIONS.
Yesterday the Sessions were held at the Town Hall,
Borough, before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR,
the RECORDER, Mr. Alderman J. J. SMITH, &C. &C.
Joh* Driscoll was indicted for having, together

tuously assembled, on the sth of April last, to break
