COURT OF KING'S BEN:-.37, NOSTNISTII 44.
THE KINO AGAINST AllllAanAt Thrum :on.
The Count' having app&nted t!•is day I r?•ctiv
ing the ccut:ter-p1,.4 of the Appellant . in this extra,
ordinary case, a great ctsr.-..d ess.=l3l,a! in the ay..-
noes to the Court at an early hour, and as soon a•
the doors were opened, every part of it accessib'.eto
auditors was instantly filled to suffocation.

At 'ten o'clock, Lard ELLEsztottouou, accntr.pa•
nisi by Justices 13nyr.►•:r and ABBOT, entered the
Court. The defendant, 41r dam 77ernion, w•as then
conducted in at the si to dour, in the custody ut :um
of the Marshal's mon, and placed at the liar. His
countenance, as on Niunday last, evinced great coin-
pusure. and cOnsiderahly mr:re of confidence th7n 3p.
prehension, in the result of the procceriit ps against
him. The Appellant, %V ILLi .1/ was seated
bt•side his (\allow!, i.7►. CLat,KP.

Mr. Le la.Me, the ut Court, proceeded to
call the names of the Appellant and Dt•fi.ndant, when
the former handed in wr;tien cotntter-plea, amine
Puttied with an atli.lavit Ly himself of the truth of
the mattets tact :illcged in it.
The counter•plea was then read. it commenced
in the custotnary legal „qt.., and proceeded to sub:
thie that the dcfendant should not be permitted.to
wage his battle—Bec.suse of the evidence prodnced
on his trial for the murder of the appell.trit's sister,
MARY Asfuloara, and of various circumstances cons
sleeted with :hat trial, the whole r f which, as already'
before the public, were recited at full length—and
farther bec-aust: of the trial by battle being :in obsolete
and a barbarous practice, and the appellant a person
of a description analogous to those exceptions whicb
had in ancient times, when the practice was in uses
been always admitted. The affidavit of the appellant
in support of this plea was also read.
Mr. lttanen, the defendant's Counsel, then rose,
and observed, that as the Term was now so tar ad-
vanced that the case could not be decided before it
expired, he submitted that the defendant should be
allowed a reasonable time to answer the counter plea
of the appellant.

Lord ELLE:NB !ROUGH inquired of tl:e appellant's
Counsel, whether he had any thing to obseave on tbis
proposition ?

Mr. CLARKE said, that there being no chance of
bringing the case to a dettrmination this Term, be
could have no objection to any reasonable time the
Court might think proper to gran the Defendant to
give in his answ..r.
Lord ELur:.roui.ctur Eaving consulted with his
brother Judges, ordered the Defendant to be reman-
ded, and again brought up on the second day of nest
Term, fur the purpose id answerinz the counter.plea.
The prisoner was glen reconcluctod oat of Cuurt,
in the custody of the Marsh:dwell, and se intense
was the curio-ity of the crowd to get a sight of him,
that it was with d flit:uDy he was conducted to a car-

Ist thought to be improper, iilegal, and partial.
di potient having atto.nded as Salici.tor it.r the
hint, he felt, it to be his duty to Molest, and ac.
igly did rratest, against :.ucio selection, es ale.
just. and oppressive. and totinsated to the said
loner. that he should apply to this Honourable
s against such selection. The Coroner then pre-
. to take the names indifferently, and fur that
purpose turned his eyes from the book containiog tbe
of persons c.:allied ; and several names being

the Crown and the defendant, he declined con.
fg the nomination, And substituted another, more
agible, in the estimation of the said Coroner.—
Deponent remonstrated with the Coroner upon this
of partiality, and insisted that the gentleman first
irned, was perfectly qualified as a merchant of the
• of London, to sit on the trial of the la of ma-
, but the objection was over-ruled, Mr. Toplin
rejected, and another name substituted. That
line of another gentleman, named Wi!liam Gil.

rejected by the Clerk of the Clown, and the
