walking up his garden on his return home from tli•-

less than a minute, without a groan. When taken ill
he was in the act of stretching out his hand to caress
a little niece, who swas accustomed to meet him is

in the Harrow-!load, died suddenly on _ Monday

evening. He called on Mr. Pownu., a publican, in

was taking what he called a few nods. The landlord
roused him gently, when he heaved a sigh, and in-
stantly expired.
MARLBOROUGii-STREET.—Mr. Coilinson yetterdaT
attended, on the part of the Vestry of St. James s
Parish, stating, that proceedings had been instituted
againq certain individuals, who were in the habit of
piacard:ng the outside of their lor• windows on the'
Lord's Day, announcing that certain seditious pam-
phlets were sold there, which induced persons to enter
and purchase them.
Mr. Ca, dey, bookseller and news-yendcr, of Silver-
street, Galden-square, was the first perron charged,
on an information, founded on the Statute of the
29th Charles 11. cap. 2, which specifies, th At if any
person performs or exerches certain worldly I.tbour,
business, or wol k, of his ordinary calling, on the
Lord's Day, the same not being a work of drat ity or
necessity, according to the Statute, subjects himself
to a penalty of ss. on the case being brought before
a Magistrate.
• Mr.-BAKER—Defendant, do you plead Guilty, or Not Guilty
Mr. Cardey—Why, positively, I can't plead af all ; I)ccaur.e I
am not aware that I have committed any offence:

Magistrate—You have committed an offence., by selling sedi-
tious publications on the Lord's Day.
Mr. Cardey —I must plead Not Guilty, because I do not
think I have offended—unless getting my living is an offence
against the law.—He pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. Bowser, a Constable of St. James's Parish,
after being sworn, said, that on the 24th of October,
according to instructions that he had recei eel from
the Vestry of the Parish, he went to Mr. Cardey's
shop, to purchase Carlile's pamphlet, called The Re-
publican. Mr. Cardey was gone out, and a boy in
the shop served him with one, and he paid for it.
The outside of the shop was placarded with different
papers. He saw several persons go in to purchase,
and they were served with Papers, being at the time
during Divine Service on the Sabbath-day.
Magistrate—What have you to say, Mr. Carley?
Mr. Card:yr—Why, 1 conl:ss that I have bills outside my
door, announcing different publicat ens on Sunday, and I have
served several persons the same as other News-venders. The
Newspapers are stamped to sell, and of course I disposed of them
!Without any apprehension, and according to law.
Magistrate—l know cf no law that allows you to sell on Sun-.
days; besides, you have no huslness to sell thee', or to have your
I place placarded outside your windows: for tsiat -alone you are
liable to be punished.
Mr. Cardey—Then I suppose, your Worship, we are rot al-
lowed, by law, to sell a Newspaper on Sunday
Magistrate—Certainly not.
Mr. Cardey—Vor what reason, your Worship?
Magistrate—Because it is not a work of charity or necessity.
Mr. Cardey—Wity are we pitched upon?—why not proceed
against the fountain-head? I have even served the Head Clerk
of this Ofsce with Papers on the Sunday.
Magistrate—We know that, notwithstanding, you are arener
of sedition an,l blasphemy. I have frequently passed by your
house myself fm• the bast two years, and you have seen me, DO
doubt, stop to read the papers you have had on your windows.
Mr. Cardey—l have, Sir. If you say I have no right to sell
Newspapers on Sundays, I beg that you'll let me have the Sum-
mons, and I'll stick it outside, and have written upon it—" No
Papers to be sold en Sundays."
Mcgistrate—That would come under'the Act, having a Paper
out:dile your window on the Lord's Day.
Mr. Cardcy—l shall continue to sell them on Sundays.
Magistrate—lf you do, you'll be punished.
Mr. C.—l cannot see what offence there is in what I have dogle.
He was convicted in the penalty of ss. and costs,
which amounted tr. Bs. and which he very reluctantly,
paid ; asserting, that be would continue the practice
as well as others, as the Newspaper Offices were
guilty of the same, and none c f their Papers of Sunday
could be sold, according to the present proceeding.
Mr. William Sz4.ainzley, of Pulteney-court, Golden-
square, was charged under the same Statute with a
similar offence. In his defence, he said that he did
not belong to the shop. His son was a cripple, not
able to work, and he set him up in the business of a
Newspaper seller, to procure an honest livelihood,
which he always had; but he found that the.more
honestly a man got his living, he was the worse
treated : nerve but rogues were protected.
Magistrate—That language. I suppose, you think will •
you?---Defendam—i AM under bail at present fer
selling The 17.tiliKea4.
Magistt ate— W oat, for selling libels?
Defendant—Your Worship may think it a libel
self I can see no libel in its zontents•
The Magistrate said, he could not convi
for the action of the son; but suggested to.
son, if this practice was continued, to proceed
them by a fresh information; and intimate
Parties, that they would not be allowed •
papers on Sundays, or to have placards
