he rather wished to take off the sharper edge of Mr.
Scarlett's observations upon Mr. Hodgson; he thought
them too severe.
Mr. limos, in support of his rule, still insisted
that the malice was a question for the Jury. He had
not admitted that there was no malice ; on the con-
trary, he had put it to the Jury, whether, if any man
had said " Mr. Raine is a fraudulent and wicked bar-
rister,' he should not have an unquestionable right
to say that the words were dictated by malice ? He
had never charged Mr. Scarlett with express malice,
with taking advantage of his station to slander an
individual against whom he entertained hostility, but
he had insisted that malice was a matter of inference
for the Jury.
Lord ELLENBOROVOIL—CertainIy the expressions
appear to be overcharged ; it may not be prudent or
correct generally to mix the attorney with his client,
but here it seems that Mr. Hodgson induced a plain-
tiff to bring an action in which he could not succeed,
and though the.words fraudulent and wicked may
be stronger than others might have used, yet as ap-
plied to the promissory note are they not relevant ?
and if relevant, are they not within the protection of
the law ? _ . .

Mr. RAVE added, that the Attorney might have
taken an erroneous view of the rights of his client.
When he made the motion for the Rule Nisi, he had
cited the case of Brooke v. Sir H. Montague, merely
to shew that words spoken by a Counsel were action-
able, because Mr. Baron Wood had said at the As-
sizes that no action at all of the kind could be main-
tained. The case from Styles seemed a Monstrous
ahsurdity : a Counsel was to be excused, because it
will be contended, that the words are spoken pursu-
ant to his client's instructions. If the party injured
then proceeded against the Attorney, he replied by
chewing that the words were not in the instructions
he had given to Counsel ; so that a man might be
*biped in the most public manner without a remedy.
In opposition to it, he referred their Lordships again
to the case of Brooke v. Sir H. Montague, decided
when Popham was Judge, and Yelverton and Coke
Counsel. _ _

Lord ELLENBOROUGH.--A certain latitude must
be allovied, otherwise it would be impossible for
Counsel to discuss matters at Nisi Prism; as long as
he bona Pe fulfils the duty cast upon him, even
though •he overstep the strict line, he shall not be
held to be malicious: it may work some disadvan-
tage to a party now and then, but that is an evil
arising out of a greater benefit.
Mr. RAIN! concluded by observing that the plain-
tiff could have given evidence to shew that there was,
no truth in Mr. Scarlett's statement.
Mr. RICHARDSON, on the same side, argued that
at least the nonsuit was premature : it had been con-
tended on their part that the words were irrelevant,
and consequently the admission spoken of could not
have been made unless the Counsel were willing to
admit themselves out of Court. The facts detailed
to-day on the other side ought to have appeared in,
evidence at the trial, if at all, to rebut the inference
of malice. _ _

Lord Et.z.zNnoaoticn.—The admission amounted
to this ; that the words applied to the conduct of the
plaintiff in another cause, and the learned Judge pro-
ceeded on an assumed admission of the relevancy,
which would have been evident had-the facts stated
been gone into.
Mr. RICHARDSON added, that there could be no
pretence for saying that the protection of a Counsel
was similar to..a parliamentary privilege.
Lord Ettxxsonouoff.—The Learned Baron was
there certainly wrong, but that does not appear upon
the report ; the one bears not the least analogy to
the other.

The Court consulted for some time, after which
Lord ELLENBOROUGII said, the law privileges many
communications which otherwise might be consi-
dered calumnious, and the subjects of actions ; in
those regarding the characters of servants, it is ne-
cessary, for the convenience of mankind, that there
should be a f-ee disclosure : and if it be made bona
Ale, and without express malice, without a design
to state what is untrue and unprovoked, the law pro-
tects it from being the subject of an action. So in
the case of Counsel, who appointed by the parties as
better able to conduct their causes : the client con-
signs his interests to a Counsel, who only speaks from
information, and he is privileged when commenting
upon the evidence or instruments produced in the
course of the trial. It appears that the plaintiff was
not only the attorney in the cause, but had been con-
nected with previous transactions, and in the con-
coction and drawing of a promissory note, so that
he must have been cognizant of the merits before he
went into Court ; and as it turned out on the trial, as
be well knew it must, that the demand had been sa-
tisfied, his client of course was defeated. In com-
menting upon the circumstances, the Learned Coun-
sel, who is here the defendant, said that the plaintiff
was a fraudulent and wicked attorney ; he had a
right to animadvert upon his conduct, and he could
not do so without noticing him as the instrument in the
formation of the promissory note which was the
chief fcround of the nonsuit—he did not therefore
take him at random, or draw his name in unneces-
sarily. I should say that the language is strongly
charged, for it accuses Mr. Hodgson of a fraud be-
tween man and man, and, with wickedness in foro
dirino. This was perhaps not displaying that for-
bearance which it might be prudent to adupt ; but
yet I cannot say that the accusation does not arise out
of the subject matter of the case. If the attorney,
knowingly, placed the parties in a situation where
they must undoubtedly be sufferers without any be-
nefit, it sloes seem to give a colour to the charge
of being fraudulent and wicked—l cannot say that
there is no reasonable or probable cause, for a
Counsel so to state in the exercise of his duty of com-
menting. It may be urged, that the relevancy of the
accusation appears here, and not at the trial, and
that it is in a manner ex post facto ; but an admission
was made at the assizes which, though not strictly
conceding the relevancy, yet coupled with the ac-
tual facts now disclosed, seems to warrant the con-
clusion at which the Learned Baron arrived, and
was equivalent in some sort to an actual disclosure
of the facts. It appears to me that the words spoken
were uttered in the cause, and relevant to the cause,
and, consequently, that the action is not maintainable.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY saw no objection to adopting i
the position laid down n Brooke v. Sir H. Montague,
that the privilege of a Counsel extends to all things

said pertinent to the matter in issue. He admitted
that the expressions were harsh, but thought that
they came within the privilege.
Mr. Justice ABBOTT concurred ; words used in the
course of a judical inquiry, relevant and pertinent to
the matter in issue, are not actionable, unless it ap-
pear that the Counsel availed himself of his situation
to gratify personal malice previously entertained
against the person slandered. Justice could not be
properly administered, if on every occasion Counsel
were to be questioned for the strength of an expres-
sion employed in the fair conduct of a cause. Here
the words were relevant and pertinent ; and if a new
trial were granted, the result would and ought to be
the same as it had been.
Mr. Justice HOLSIOYD observed, that the slande-
rous words only expressed the opinion of an indivi-
dual to, the Jury, who were subsequently to decide
upon the merits, and whether the Counsel had spoken
truly or untruly. A less latitude ought to be allowed
to Counsel than to parties, on account of their supe-
rior knowledge and cooler temperament ; but they
were not liable to action, unless it clearly appeared
that the slander had no relation to the cause. He
referred to 1 Hawk. c. 73. s. 8, 1 Rolls. Abr. 87. pl.
4, 1 Saund. 132, and to 4 Coke, 14 b. in order to
shew that parties were not liable for words in the
course of a judicial proceeding, unless express malice
were established. He thought the present action not
maintainable, for the reasons stated by the rest of the
Court.— Rule for setting aside the nensuit discharged.

OLD BAILEY, JANUARY 22.

Joseph Robinson stood indicted for stealing one
silver tattle spoon, the property of John Harris, stew-
ard to the Vernlam Club.
The particulars of the case have been before the
public in detail. The prisoner, who is 67 years of
age, and of respectable appearance, was in the habit
of going to the Verulam Club-house, in Lincoln's-inn-
fields and making inquiries for Mr. Serjeant Best,
and ;after he was gone spoons had been frequently
missing. On his last inquiry, however, he was de-
tained, and upon his person were found several du-
plicates, one of which applied to the spoon in ques-
tion. These facts were proved in evidence, and the
prisoner did not call any witnesses to speak to his
former character, but upon being called upon for his
defence, he addressed the Court nearly in the fol-
lowing terms :—" My Lord, and Gentlemen of the
Jury—Circumstances appear so strong against me,
that I feel it quite impossible to invalidate the charge
I am an old man, and in my younger days I main-
tained a most reputable character. At one time I
was in circumstances of ease and happiness, but by

losses in business am reduced to what you now see
me. Gentlemen, I am not a thief from pflinciple
but none .of us know what we may be driven to do
through distress and hunger. Let him that thinks
he standeth, take heed that he falleth not.' Gentle-
mea, I shudder when I think of what I have done ;
I confess it with shame, but I was compelled to do it
by want and misery. I throw myself upon the
mercy of the Court. The ALMIGHTY is never more
pleased than when we imitate his example, by deal-
ing mercifully to our fellow creatures."
-While he thus addressed the Court, his tears often
interrupted him.
The Common SERJZANT recapitulated the evi-'
derive to the Jury, and they found the prisoner—
Guilty ; but strongly recommended him to ,mercy,
on account of age and his reduced circumstances.
The Cosmos Sztrawer stated to the Jury, that
he feared his story was very like his inquiry after Mr.
Serjeant Best, as it was not his first appearance at
that bar for a similar offence. One of the Marshal-
men of the City stated, that he had known the priso-
ner for nearly twenty years. At one time he was a
man of respectability, and held a high situation in the
house of Sir James Lubbock and Co. that his name
was not Robinson, but Brotherton ; that he was the
man accused of stealing the clock from the House of
Commons ; and that he had been repeatedly accused
of stealing spoons from Taverns, Ste.
The COMMON SREJIANT observed, he was not en-
titled to the recommendation of the Jury, but should
be banished for seven years.
Rose O'Hara, Margaret Ilumphrys, and Hannah
Brian, were indicted capitally, for assaulting James
Redman, on the King's-highway, and forcibly taking
' from his person 15s. in money, his property.
The RECORDER summed up, and the Jury found
all the prisoners Guilty—Death.
Thomas Fuller and James Turner were both found
Guilty of stealing two bushels of coals upon the
Grand Junction Canal, the property of Joseph Tap-
land. After the verdict had been recorded, the pro-
secutor begged to recommend the prisoners to
mercy, stating as a reason, that he believed it to be
their first offence--The prosecutor then requested
the Court would hear a statement of rather an ei-
traordinary nature. He proceeded to state, that the
last trial was expected to have come on last Mon-
day, and he attended in the yard with his witnesses.
while they were there two persons, who stated them-
selves to be constables, came to his principal wit,.
ness, and said, they had a warrant against him for
stealing hay, and they dragged him off to Mary-la-
Bonne watch-house. They then returned, and tap-
ping the complainant on the shoulder said—" We
want you—you are charged with receiving the hay
which was stolen by the per son taken to the watch-
house, and you must gFI before a Magistrate."—
Complainant asked thens to chew their authority for
so arresting him. One of them then produced a
staff. Not, however, considering this a sufficient au-
thority for depriving him of his liberty, he came to
the Court, to ascertain from Mr. Arabin, if the ar-
rest was legal ; but who not happening to be in
Court, the officers took him to a public house oppo-
site the Court, and detained him there while they
drank a pot of beer,. He entreated them to permit
him to watch the progress of the trial, but they refu-
sed, and took him off towards Mary-la-Bonne, but in
going down Snow-hill, being stin in their custody, he
met a friend named Williams, and supposing that he
was better acquainted with such matters than he was,
he told him the circumstance of the arrest, and his
friend Mr. Williams demanded the production of the
authority under which they acted. They refused,
and one of them pushed him back, upon which Mr.
Williams knocked him through a carpet warehouse
window, and broke twelve shillings worth of glass,
which complainant.paid for. The other officer then

went away, and the complainant eras permitted to re-
turn to the Court.
The RECORDER asked hint if he knew the parties ?'
The complainant replied, that one of them was a man
named Colliw.
Mr. AiAB►N It is not Collins, the City officerr
Complainant," No, I believe they are constables
of Mary-la-Bonne parish."
The RECORDER observed, that the Grand Jury had
broken up, but he should recommend the complai-
nant to indict them for an assault at the next Ses-
sions, or to make the complaint immediately before
one of the City Magistrates, and obtain a warrant
against them. This recommendation was received
with thanks by the complainant, who went off in-
stantly to Guildhall to obtain a warrant

GUlLDHALL.—Yesterday, while Alderman Sir W.
ILatatirox was transacting the usual routine of busi-1
nes, at this Office, a decent looking man pressed
forward, and requested permission to speak to the
Magistrate.,—What is your business ? said an officer.
Stranger—airawing his hand across kis eyes)—" A previous
tear, and I'll begin. The object of my application is to request
that you will immediately issue a special warrant or summons,)
against the Legislature of this Kingdom, to appear before you, to
answer such matters and things, as I, Join. ALLANN shall exhibit
against the Members thereof.
Mr. Paine—" I suppose you wish the Legislature to provide
for you ?"
Mr. A lland—" Exactly so. It is their bounden duty to pro-
vide for every British subject who is distressed, and as I happen
to be one of that class, I hope the worthy Gentleman in the chair
will exert his magisterial authority to procure me redress for my
wrong
q"
Sir Leighton.—" I should like to be made further ac-
quainted with the nature and object of your application before I
proceed."
Mr. Alland--“ t I have done the State sane service, and trey
know it; but 'No more of that, Hal, if you love me !' KY-
bum set. In short, my meritorious acts are likely to go unre-
warded, unless you immediately institute proceedings against
our House of Commons."

Sir W. Leighton—" What particular,
.services have you ren-
dered the country, that you consider yourself entitled to reward
and protection ?"
Mr. Alland—" Oh, good. Magistrate, ' I could a tale unfold,
would make thy young hair stand erect like the quills on the
back of the affrighted porcupine '—but never mind that—can
you comply with my demand ?"
Sir W. Leighton—" I fear not—you had better apply in ano-
ther qearter."
Mr. Alland—" And is there then no remedy—no punishment
for ingratitude, that foulest of sins
Mr. Paine—" There is a punishment, but not here ; this is the
wrong place."
Mr. Alland—" Then I am misinformed, and indeed I am no
lawyer. Harmony is snore to my taste, and ' bright Apollo's
lute, strung with his hair.' You know the Rev. Mr. Blomberg,
Sir? Ile once gave me a very excellent book of inusic, in
which there were some most delicious airs. I was offered SOU
a year at the Opera, Sir ; in proof of which, I will give you a few
stanzas now, if it is not contrary to Police etiquette."
Sir W. Leighton—" Perhaps your talent in that way might be
tamed to better account elsewhere."

Mr. Alland.—" Ay, there's the rub : the very thing I com-
plain of is the want of attention evinced by our rulers to the me-
rits of the subject. I assure you I can sing delightfully, and the
offer of as engagement at the Opera House I rejected with dis-
dain, as an insult to my talent."
Mr. Paine—" The Magistrate cannot mar' you:*

Mr. AUand—" Then valiat am I to do?--' Music bath charms

He then bowed and withdrew, singing with much
taste and execution the_ first stanza of " GOD sate the

ITsion-Hnu..—Yesterday, H. Fil'd was charged
by Mr. J. Hunt, of Portland-place, Mary-la-bonne,
with robbing him of a 21. note. Mr. Hunt stated,
that yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, he was
walking along the road near Waterloo Bridge, and
saw the prisoner and seven or eight persons playing
with cups and balls. The prisoner offered to bet any
sum that there was a ball under each of the three
cups. Mr. Hunt, having observed one of the balls,
fall from the table, apparently unperceived by the
prisoner, accepted the bet, and laid a 21. note, to
which the prisoner put 2L In a moment he was',

Limrsticx, JAN. 14.—Wednesday se'nnight a Spe-
cial Sessions, under the Insurrection Act, was held in
Cashel, before-Serjeant Jean, and a Bench of Magi-
strates, when the following persons were convicted:
William Kennelly, for being idle and disorderly, and absent
from his house on the night of the I filth of Npvember last—to be
transported for seven yeah. This was one of the robbers at Mr.
Grubb's house.

Michael Maher, for Leing idle and disorderly, and out of his
house at improper hours—to be transported for seven years.—
Maher was the principal of a gang who had attacked and rescued
a prisoner from the Police, some time since.
Laurence and James Kennedy, for being idle and disorderly,
and absent from their houses at a late hour—to be transported
for seven years.
Thomas Mason and John Stapleton, for being the ringleaders
of a tumultuous assemblage of persons on the 2d of December—
to be transported.
John Shanahan, for being idle and disorderly, and for bruta-
lity to a woman whom be assaulted—to be transported.
An attempt was made a few days back, by a
of desperate ruffians, to cut open the iron cages of
the menagerie of wild beasts, now exhibiting in Cashel,
in which are confined a lion and a tiger, with the mis-
chievous view of letting them loose. By the timely
interference of the Police, this diabolical plan wns pre.
vented, and five of the ruffians are in custody.

Warty, and two others fixed for Tuesday next,
various other matches are on the tapir. Spring hats

Painter to fight when his recognizances become void.

with Scroggins. Master Stephen is wanted !
Wednesday se'nnight, as the labourers .were. at
work pulling down the brick arches in the lime-kiln

dug out, but in a most mutilated state, with little
hopes of their recovery.
