COURT OF ICING'S BINCH, MAY 13.
• CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS.
The ATTORN er-GENERAL moved for a rule to- shew
cause why a Criminal information should not be filed
ag tinst three persons of the names of Rous, Hurley,
and Laurence, Printers and Stationers, at Canto!.
bury, for a Libel, published by them in a periodical I
work, reflecting on the conduct and character of Mr
Charles Pont, Mayor of Canterbury. The Affidavit
of Mr. Pout chewed him to have been an ' auctioneer
and upholsterer, and that he was elected Mayor of
Canterbury, and sworn into office in December last,
shortly after which time there appeared in the peri- '
odical work in question, published. at Canterbury, by
the defendants, a poetical article, which it was impose
sible to read without seeing that it referred to the
Mayor of that town. The publication thus come.
minced : •
" Let Catulus, in rich plebeian vide,
" O'er midnight brawls and broken lamps pre;hle."
And then, alluding to the prosecutor, and describing
him, says, .
" This haughty slave, this overbearing cur— •
" I once remember an Upholsterer." •
And again,
" This pride of fools, of honest men tie jeer,
s` I once remember e'.l, an Auctioneer."
There were an immense number of contemptuous
epithets in the publication, and there seeming no rea-
son to doubt that they applied to the prosecutor, the
Court granted the rule to thew cause.
THE RING V. PHILLIPS. ESQ.
Mr. Dasirlan moved that the Rule in this case
which called on Mansell Phillips, Esq. M. P. to shew
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against him, for a libel of which he was the author,
reflecting en the conduct of the Bishop of Deny,
which appeared in a newspaper published at Swansea,
called the Cambrian.
No cause being shewn the rule was made absolute.
TIM PING V 3LACO7/4 CLERK. -
The Rev. Mr. Blacow was brought up to receive
the judgment of the Court, for letters of a lihetous
and calumnious nature written and published by him,
defamatory of the character and reputation of Mrs.
Fairclough, wife of Charles Fairclough, Esq. l'igr-
chant, in Liverpool The case came to be tried, by
way of information, at the last Lancaster Assizes,
before Mr. Justice Le Blanc, when the defendant
having previously entered a plea of not guilty, ap-
plied for leave to withdraw his plea, and to allow
judgment to go against him by delault. This the
Learned Judge refused, and would allow the defen-
dant no other alternative but that of retaining his plea
of not guilty, or in lieu of it entering a plea of guilty. ,
The defendant accordingly pleaded guilty.
It appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Fairclough,
had a country seat not far distant from Liverpool, at
a place where the defendant was Curate ; that he also
had a house and counting-house in Liverpool, where
he carried on the business of a merchant. The de-
fendant also had a Chapel, called St. Mark's Chapel,
. in Liverpool, where he preached by virtue of a li-
cence. The prosecutor had, by his wife, a son and
daughter, and an intimacy having, in consequence of
their relative situations, taken place between the pro-
secutor and defendant, the prosecutor entrustectto the
defendant the education of his son, allowing for his
board, &c. £lOO a year ; the defendant had also for
a considerable number of yeass been in the habits of
family intimacy in the prosecutot's family. After the
son of the prosecutor had remained with the defendant
for about seven years, the father and mother resolved'
to remove him to a public school, a measure ag-tinse
which the defendant strongly protested, lest the young
man should thereby be injured. When the step, how-
ever, seemed to be resolved on, and the boy had been
taken home, the defendant sent for the prosecutor,
antrinformed him verbally of a train of conduct the
most gross and disgusting on the part of h's wife,
which h' ..(the defendant) had observed fur years,
which he ',ad only been prevented from revealing to
the husband, out of regard to the boy, and which he
threatened nothing but the boy, whom he dearly lov-
ed, being suffered to remain with him, should prevent
him from making public. The prosecutor being of
a weakly.constitution, thisinformation had on him the
desired effect, and the boy was sent back to the defen-
dant. The charges made against Mrs. F. having been 1
communicated to her, naturally excited her indigna-
' tion, and that of her friends, in consequence of which
the boy was again removed, and then the defendant
thought proper to commit his calumnies to writing.
Thi.. he did in letters to the prosecutor himself, in a
postscript to one of which he threatens to send a simi-
lar letter every week, to send that letter by the post,.
and to'leave it unsealed, unless he is allowed the op-1
portunity of seeing the prosecutor, and clearing him.
self ; and also in a letter to a Mrs. Barnes, wife to a
partner of the prosecutor.
Affidavits were this day fried on the part of the pro-
secution, in which a negative was given to every cir-
cumstance connected ,with the conduct of Mrs. F. al-
'edged by the defendant.
The Court observing, however, that there was one
fact stated to have fallen under the defendant's own
personal observation, to which an additional negative,
besides that of the prosecutor's wife, might be procu-
red, and which would considerably enhance the defen-
dant's guilt, allowed the matter to lie over till such af-
fidavit should be filed.
The ATTORNEY-GIEYERAL consented that the de-
fendant should not be committed till their Lordships'
final judgment on the case.
Lord autesonotutt said, this was great lenity.—
Wsta H. cot possible that by an atonement being made
in a proper manner, the case might no farther be
heard of ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERALsaid, being entrusted with
the interests of the prosecutor, he could only say that
it was impossible that any communication coud
tyke place between these parties.—To lie overl. ever
