COURT C 7 KING'S BRUM
littiti TREASON•

Saturday morning, on their Lordships taking their
Seats, the new Attorney-General,-Sir Sawn Sneak
HERD, stated, that four proms, named Arthurnirtk
wood, Janes I Vahon, the elder, Rialsell Hooper, and
Thomas Pre:l4n, bad Ir:en longest from the Tower,
by 114 eat Corpus, to plead to an indictment for High
Treason preferred against them.
The prisoners were now brought Into the Court
sepwately, in the custody of tl.e 'fa:meant the Guard,
and on their be:ng•plact.d az tie bar, immediately
bellied the King's Counsel, Thistles:nod, Watson,
and Holier, cordia,ly shook hands With each other,
and Preston, who came ii last, shordc hands with
Warsoo, who was next lam. and bowed, waving his
hand to the whet two. Watson was dressed in a
new biai.k coat, a black siik waistcoat, black small
clothes and stockings and appeated pale; Preston
hail on a greyish brows. colooirJ coat, and a buff
waistcoat, and appeared iv:dr cily unconcerned during
the whole proceedings ; tioooTr was dressed in a
grey great coat, claret-coloured body-coat with plated
buttons, and a black- waistcoat; and 'lhistlewood
had on a loose sail r's pike, and nsi neckerchief.
The AvronNev-Gesenti, now moved, that the
Return of the Marquis of Hastings, the Governor of
the Tswer, "night be read. The Master of the Court
accordingly read it; and on noodles motion of the
Attorney-General it was filed.
Lord ELLBNW)RoVGII then addressed the prisoners•
as follows Prisoners (repeating their names),
would all or any of you wish or desire to haw Coma
sal assigned to you? This,lewood, Would yon?"
Prisoner Thistlewood—,, C.-rtaitily, my Lord."
L,ral ELLENB' Would yon flame him
row, or would )00 wish to have until Monday or
Tue.day to name him ?"
Thistlewood—,' My Lord, I ltave not made up
tt y mind yet."
Lord ELLEssoIICO:OH ••44 Very wnll4 . James War.
son, the elder, would you wish to haye Counsel as-
signed to you ?"
Watson-6, My Lord, I certainly wish for Coon.
itel; but I have not made up my mind at present:"
Lord El.f.ttat •fttovou--,, Thomas Preston, will
you have Counsel assigned to you now, or wL you
have time to consider of it ?"
Preston The gentlemen who have preceded me,
my Lord, have expressed my sentiments on the
subject."
Lord Et.tmsonovoisi." Very well. Richard
Mora, will you have Counsel assigned now ?I'
Hooper—,, 1 wish for Ctonwl, my Lord, but I
have not decided yet whom to have. If not iiii"ro.
per, I should wish to have the liberty of considering
fur a few days." •
Lord Ei.sessonnootve-'' Well."

Watson-.' Would it be impertinent to inquire of
your Lordships. whether. if Counsel be assigned to
me, 15h411 be allowed to speak in my own defence.
as well as the Counsel r'

4 tr their Lordships had consulted together for
some time, the 'prisoner was answered as follows ;
Lord Et.t.staannoncst...." You will not be restrain-
ed from attires:lag any thing to the. Court and Jury
that you think of importance for your defence; and
you may intimate to the Court thereafter, or to any
single Judge at Chambers, who tie Counsel may be
that you prefer."
Watson—" Am I to understand your Lordship,
that if my Counsel goes into any discussion on the
evidence, I :hallstill have the privilege of address.
lug. the Jury?"
Lord Et.annonnuou I cannot enter into dis-
cussion with you. You-will not be restrained from
eying any thing that shall be expedient and netts-
Wry for ;nor defence."
The Anototst-Gartsmist now moved, that the
prisoners should be atraigntd. The Indictment was
then read over, and the usual questions in the form
of plea were put to the prisoners. They severally
pleaded Not Guilty. and in the usual manner said
try would be tried by Grin and their country; after
which the Master of the Court repeated the words,
4rGon send you a gond deliverance!"
The Master then inquired if they had been fur-
nished with Copies of the Indictment, and Lists of
the Jury and witnesses, and the prisoners answered
in the affirmative.
The Arroartary Gairenat..•••44 I am now to move
your Lordships to appoint ,a day for the. trial of the
'prisoners. Any dal which is most convenient for
your Lordships in the early pin of next term."
Lord Eta.xxsonounit—ft The prisoners will un-
derstand, that they may apply, through the medium
of their Solicitor, to any Judges at Chambers to have
Counsel assigned, and name the Counsel they may
wish to have ; and, Mr. Attorney-General, it has
occurred to the Court, that Monday, the 9th day of
Jute, will prob th, • be a convenient day (or the trial.
The Conti, theietore, appoint that day, at nine
o'clock in the morning."
The ArroiNZT-GtoillAte-em My Lord, I ban
nos to move,-that the prisoners be remanded."
Lord ELLZHISOAOUOU-4! Let them be remanded."
The prisoners *ere then taken out of Court, and
separately conveyed back to the Tower. During the
whole proceedings they conducted themselves with
the greatest propriety and decorum, and Watson
wrote something, which, after having shewn it to the
other prisoners, he banded to Mr., tiarmer, who at•
tended as their Solicitors He seemed frequently to
look at a paper be bad in his hand, av,d upon the
whole seemed to pay *loch attention to Me proceed-
ings, especially where his own name, or that of his
son, were read in the indictment. Preston, though
apparently with an unruffled and unconcerned brow,
listened with attention, and the other two prisoners
wok notice of all that passed.

?H5 JUNO T. UnXf.
The Arrostret-Gisanar, said, he understood Mr.
W. Hone, who was at present in custody on a charge
of libel, inwoded this day to make some application
so the C..nrt, of the nature of which he (the Attor-
nry-Gener.d) was ignorant; as Mr. Hone was in
Cpurt, however, their Lordibips would, perhaps,
now allow him to proceed.
Lord Et Llnsamtotiou desired it should be inti-
mated to defendant, that the Coot-would now bear
any thing ne had to say.
Mr. kione 'then proceeded to address the Court.
He acknowledged the obligation be was under to
she Attornercatteral for olbwiag him to Costs op

on this occasion. He now wished to state to their
Lordships some reasons on which he presumed to re-
present that his arrest was illegal, and that he ought
to be discharged, since, from the manner in which
he had been apprehended, no notice having been
given to him, he was kept in costo.ly, ign irant of
his offence,. from Saturday night till M, ndly morn-
ing. without being able to give notice of bail, which,
if he had known what offmice he was charged with,
he might have done. He then proceeded to state
the particulars of his arrest, which look place near
his own house in the Old Bailey, from whence he
was taken to Hemp's lock-up house, and there kept
till Monday morning, the officer having refused,
though he was apprehended so near his own house,
to allow him to go v. his wife for a sinele
'Jute. At the time he was taken custudy, the
officer told him lie had only one warrant aga nu him;
yet, on the Monday morning, when he tars hroopht
up, the then Attorney-General (Sir William Garroa.)
preferred three informations against him. Ile•did
not wish to detain the Court AT any long statement,
but only regyested that his affidavit there facts
might be read. lite defendant's affidaVit, swearing
to the truth of the facts stated by him as attending
his arrest, was then put in and rent.
Lord ELLENBOROticaf —" You must now state what
is sour motion, and against whom you mean to
mike complaint."
Deleadant—" My Lord, I throw myself on your
Lordships' protection."
Lord Ewsononouott •••14 That will not da. The
Court would have too much to attend to, if they were
to take on themselves to make out a ease for every
orie who chose to call on them to do so."

Desendant -.44 My Lord, I conceive the injury I
.have to complain of originated in your Lordship's
warrant. I know not how to proceed, aid must
throw timed on your Lordship's prtatection."
Lord •Ehhasis ,itutscht—‘, That will not do. el he
Court cannot take up your case; they have another
and an advtise party also beote them."
D.-letidant—“ My Lod, I have no Counsel, and
am an ignorant man; I presume your Lordship
should be my Counsel. I know not how to proceed,
whether by motion or action."
Lord EthENnuttot-rin Where nothing is prayed,
we cats grai,t you nothing ; the time of the Court
must not be thus taken up."
Defendant-4 My Lord, then I must proceed to
my motion. I move that I be discharged out of
custody ,on the gr..unds which I shall state Wken I
was last before your Le rdships, I was told I could
nut have a copy ut the warrants on which I was cons-
mitted ; the officer, however, informed me, 1 ahould
learn the cause of my detention by applying at the
office for, a copy of CAMS. I accordingly applied at
I the office, and got a copy of causes, in which it was
stated that I had been brought up on certain infor-
mations, and not having bail ready, had prayed a
day, and was in consequence commit...ld. Now I
submit that the copy of causes should set forth the
true cause, which this dots not. It is not true that
I prayed a day."
Lord ELLassoaotion—," If you do not plead when
you are called on to dm so, yon must, in the collusion
meaning, be taken to ask time ; you were told by the
Court that you might have time; that you might, if
you chose, ask an iirrprlance ; you did not plead.
and we mug construe your case that you asked
Defendant—" My Lord, I do nut mean to peen
any offensive matter on --."
Lord ELLENBOttuLVIi" Do you mean now to
plead or not i"
Defendant—" I did not imagine !bat question
would be asked of me."
Lord ELLSSIBOKOLOIIia He must be remanded; the
time of the Court and the public cannot be wasted."
The defendant was again taken from the Court in
custody of the tipstaff.

CAPTAIN HOT.

Mr. ADOLPUus moved for a Certiorari, on the cir-
cumstances related by the Honourable Mr. Bennett,
in the House of Commons on Tuesday night. Mr.
Adolphus said, he presented hints& to the Court un
the affidavits of Thc.nas Griffiths and Charlotte Grit-
Ochs, his wife ; he recapitulated the particulars of
Ilse case of the conviction of Captain Hoy for the as•
bAUIt, his sentence of a fine of AM and imprisonment
for twelve months t and that after the expiration of
nine days the prisoner was enlarged, and that with-
out any intimation being given to the prosecutors of
any al.eration of his sentence.
Lord ELLENDOROVOIf inquired what power the
Court had to prevent this enlargement
Mr. ADOLPHUS submitted, by the Court's consent-
ing to giant an 'scare warrant, and his being again
placed so confinement.
The COURT."" Take a rule to shew cause."

Lord Eu.kasonovott We may regret that what
is done may be wrung, but we may nut have the
power of a remedy."
Mr. Ansmettus" To whom, my Lords, must I
make my appiseatiou ?"

Lord Edimatiauccii." Take the rule to thew
cause to the Magistrates."
Mr. ADoultus-4, I believe I can't call on the
Keepers of Coldbatli-fields to bring iothe papers re-
lating to the committal And liberation of Hoy, so I
had better strike out that from my motion."
Lord ELLessonotGu" Till we have the whcle
before us, it will be difficult to suggest the hunt con-
venient motion. You draw up your motion to attain
the end of justice, and the Court grants your rule."

COURT—" You Must serve it on the driend4nt."

Mr. Auf.n.rims—., Yes, if 1 can ; but I fear there
will be a difficulty in avg."

CUURI OF FXCHEQUER, MAY 17.

THZ KING, IN AID t F aIIt C. NULL, BART. i. BARKIM.

Tins case, which came before the Court on a for-
mer day, on a motion to set aside an Extent in Aid,
upon the ground of the plaintiff having fraudulently
procured himself to le 'made a debtor to the Crown,
was again attended to this day.
Our Readers may recollect, that it was stated on
the part of the defendant, that in a conversation with
Sir Charles Price, on the 14th of September, when
applied to to obtain an Extent in Aid against a per-
son of the name of Thompson, at ?lewcastle, he de-
clared that he had no foamy transaction with the
Crown, etcher directly or indirectly, and therefore was
unable to comply with this solicitation. A like de.
claration was made by his son at Stockton, and by
himself on the 16th and 17th of the same month ;
notwithstanding which, on the 94th an Extent wa►
obtained by him against the estate of Smith and Co.
under which the ptotraiiiis took place against Mr.

Barker. Sir C. Price in neaten,. for this discor-
dance between his declarations and his actions, swore,
that at the time he made the declaration he was en-
tirely ignorant that he had the power of availing him-
self of the benefit of an Extent in Aid; and was not
aware of his right to do so, until he had consulted
Counsel. When the subject was last before the Court,
it was directed to stand aver, in order to afford an
opportunity to Sir C. Price to declare, in distinct and
express terms, that he was, at the time fie held the
conversation with Mr. Sanderson, on the 14th of Sep-
tember, positively and lanai& a debtor In the Crown.
Mr. DACNCZY now produced Sir C. Price's supple-
mentary affidavit, which states, that on the 14th of
September there was owing from him to the Receiver
General of his Majesty's Customs the sum of W 20,000
and that from that day until the day when he applied
for the Extent in Aid against the estate of smith and
Co. he was in debt to the said Receiver-General of
r his Majesty's Customs in the said sum ol A 20,000,
being money of his M.jeaty.
Mr. TYNDALL, for the defendant, contended, that
from the admission of Sir Charles Price, and persors
concerned in his house, on the llth, 13th, and 161.
or September, of their inability on those days to ob-
tain an extent, there eas fair ground fur suspicion
that on those days no debt was due to the Crowe.—
To remove these suspicions, the plaintiff was allowed
to amend his affidavit; but he humbly submitt. 4.
that inasmuch as he had not unequivocklly swot'
that he was indebted to the Crown previous to the
conversation with Mr. Sanderson on the 14th of Sep-
tember—a fair ground of suspicion still existed, that
the debt was incurred by fraudulent means, and there-
fore the extent ought to be set aside.
Lord Chace DAttOti—ln this case it is suggested,
that the circumstance of the plaintiff's having declar-
ed, on the 14th and 17th of September, and on inter-
vening days, that there was no debt due from them
to the Crown, to entitle them to apply for an extent,'
is evidence that, in point of fact. there was no debt
due from them to the Crown at all previous to those
days. It was on this account that the Court thought
it proper that the plaintiffs should be called on to
state what was the real state cf the case. They say,
iu their first answer to this suggestion, that en the
19th of September they consulted Counsel, not know-
ing at the time that they were so indebted as to war-
rant their application for an extent ; that their Counsel
advised them that there was such a debt, and under
that advice they applied fur and obtained an extent
on the 24th. There being still some doribt, however,
as to whether there was such a debt existing on the
1411 e when Mr. Sanderson is stated to have had the
conversation with Sir Charles Price, in which he
denied the existence of a debt to the Cross n by his
house, the Court desired that that fact night be inure
fully explained; and Sir Charles Price now distinctly
states, that on the 14th ot neptember he•was actually
in debt to the Receiver-General of Customs in ahe
sum orse2o,ooo, and that this debt continued t•ll the
17th, and until after the Extent was obtained, which
I think is all the Court required, and must be consi-
dered satisfactory ; nevertheless, it Would have been
more desirable if Sir Charles Price had rendered his
explanation less questionable by a more distinct and
positive averment as to the real nature of his trans-
actions with the Receiver-General of the Customs.

Mr. Bann GRAHAM agreed with the-Chief Baron
in -his decizion on this CAW, but at the same time
_thought Str C. Price should have been more expla-
natory.
Mr. Baron GARROW-I concur with my Learned
Brothers that the Rule for setting aside the Extent in
this case should be set aside ; but I cannot help ex-
pressing my astonishment at the manner in which the
plaintifk has met the desire of the Court. The Court
had a right to expect that Sir C. Price would have
put in such an affidavit as would have precluded the
possibility of an observation.

Mr. Rictsannsox—ln that case, my Lord, I should
not have troubled your Lordships.
Mr. Baron GARROW-.4 am very sure you would
nor, and therefore the conduct of the plaintiff is the
snore deserving remark. You were perfectly justified
in what you did.—Rule discharged.

LIABILITY OF THE CLERGY TO PAY 'I ITHES.
THE MINOR .CANONS V. THE DIAN NE ST. PAUL'S.

In this case, iu which the Minor Canons of St:
Paul's filed a bill against the Dean of St. Paul's, for
refusing to pay tithes on certain premises occupied
by him in the parish of St. Paul's, the Lord Chief
Baron RICHARDS has given judgment. The Learned
Baron entered very minutely into all the circumstan-
ces of the case. and referring particularly to the sta-
tute under which tithes were granted to the Minor
Canons of St. Paul's, and to the fact of the Dean
having already admitted the justice of their cl rim by
paying tithe in a limited proportion, his Lordship pro-
nounced judgment in favour of the appellant.

MARLDOROUGH-STREET.—Saturday Carp and Ass-
pasts Hart, Esqrs. were charged with a violent as-
sault on Viands Cundell, a boy, sixteen years of age.
The prisoners were coming along Northumberland.

on it, on die door No. 3'2; the complainant went to
pull it down, and was assaulted by the prisoners and
knocked down; after which they caned him, and

family are at their residence near Epsom, a boy is
ornp!oyed to ride a pony, and bring le:ters, &c.
