ducted as this had beeu, with temperance and peace (Applause.)
Feel FITIWKLIAII then recommended the immense multitude
assembled to depart quietly to their homes.
Mr. WILLAN repeated the recommendation, and said they had
done their duty.
The Business of the day being ended, the High Sheriff, at
half-past four o'clock, dissolved the Meeting. •
The people then separated with loud cheers, and the roads in
the vicinity of York were throughout the evening flocktd by
persons who attended the Mee:ing, peaceably retuning to their
homes. Many of them had come a distance of forty miles to
attend the Meeting.

Never was there a more respectable County Meet-
kg ors any public question than that held at York
Thursday, of which we have given a full Report
iv. our columns this day. It is estimated that not
less than 20,000 people were assembled on the occa-
s;.on, and among them an immense number of the
most respectable inhabitants, in point of rank, cha-
racter, property, and influence. To talk of the con-
sequences that attach to a York County Meeting,
vould be to waste the time of our Readers, and to
insult their understanding. We shall therefore con-
tent ourselves with simply remarking, that to be able
to boast that we only anticipated the feelings and
judgment of such a body, in the vie* we took of the
scenes transacted at Manchester, is to us a complete
justification of our conduct, and a satisfactory answer
to those who have dared to revile us for faithfully
lischarging our duty to our Country.
The subjoined letter from York mentions some
facts preliminary to the Meeting, which deserve to
be made known :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

" YORK, OCTOBER 14, 1819.

g, By the Requisition which has already appeared,
the Public were informed respecting the object of
the Meeting held here this day. A detail, however,
of some circumstances which preceded, canna prove
uninteresting to your Readers.

" On Monday morning, the citizens of York were
unexpectedly honoured by the presence of 50 or 60
of the principal gentlemen of the county, in the Tory
interest,—among whom were Lords HAREWOOD,
Griaivrnara' and LASCELLES, Sir H. CARR lIIBET-
fts, Sir T. LISTER KAYE, Mr. STUART WORTLEY,
one of the County Members, and Mr. Duricomaz,"ofl
Dunconbe-paik. The object of their meeting was
to consider of the most proper mode of opposing the
proceedings of this day ; but it appears that a divi-
sion of sentiment occurred ; for, dough the bells
were rung, and the city was in a bustle on that and
the following day, yet, all that the Public could as•
certain on the subject was, that they dined together
At the Black Swan ; and, ultimately, published a
Declaration, disapproving the object of the County
Meeting, and tamely expressive of the determination
of a
.frx, who signed the same, to abstain from at-
tending it.
" On Tuesday evening, a General Meeting of the
York Whig Club was held ; and a Declaration pub-
lished by it, expressive of the film conviction of its
Members, that, in the present alarming state of the
country, the present Ministers of the Crown and the
Liberties of the People, cannot long exist together—
and that it is, therefore, highly requisite that the said
Ministers should, immediately, be discharged from
Oilice, as unworthy the confidence of the People.
" About nine o'clock, this morning, the people be-
gan to assemble in immense numbers, from all parts
of the County."--gor other particulars see our Re-
port of the proceedings, which were highly interest-
ing. All passed off very orderly, and the people re-
tired ss ith the utmost quietness and good order, well
satisfied with every thing that had passed;]

The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore-
r.oon. The accounts they contain of the progress of
tie yellow fever, in Spain, are most afflicting.. The
Lumber of deaths, on the 21st September, was, at
Cadiz, 66—at the Isle de Leon, 69. Provisions were
becoming scarce, in consequence of the interdiction
of all communication, and famine was beginning to
add its horrors to those of the wasting pestilence. All
communication with Seville has been interdicted,
from which, it is presumed, that the fever has also
found its way to that City.

TRIALS,

THE KINO v. CARLILE—Third Prosecution.
RING (at the suit of Mr, HUNT) against Dr. ST ODDART,

COURT OF KING'S IEitNCII, GT,III•DIIALL
TUIS DAY
At nine o'clock Mr. CARLILE was brought into
Court in the custody of two tip-staffs.
Shortly afterwards Mr. How: made his appear-
ance, followed by Mr. BRYANT and other friends.
At half past nine the CRIEF JUSTICE took his seat
on the Bench.

The cause of the "King against Carlik" (the third
prosecution) was called.
Mr. Husr immediately rose, and observed that he
understood his cause against Stoddart stood first for
trial this day ; and that, besides, Mr. Carlile was not
prepared.
The CHIEF .JUSTICE—Mr. Carlile can speak for
himself.

Mr. HUNT resumed—He had been time after time
in attendance with his witnesses; he had been in-
formed by the Clerk of the Court that his cause
stood first to-day ; and he must insist on his right of
precedEnce.
The CHIEF JUSTICE observed that the cause of the
King against Stoddart stood, upon his list, after that
now called; and that the Court must not be inter-
rupted in its regular course of proceeding.
Mr. HUNT begged to say, that the cause against
Mr. Carlisle did not stand before his cause against
Stoddart. He had been three different times in
attendance with his witnesses, ready to go to trial
—in April, in June, and at the beginning of the pre-
sent Sittings ; and if the Court would not now take
up his case before that of Mr. Carlile, he would not
only have to complain of delay, but (raising his voice
to rather an emphatic pitch) of a rank denial of
ustice!

Cum, JUSTICE—Have you don; Sir ? When you
are done, I will speak—but not till then.
Mr. HUNT reiterated all that he had before said.
He had made every inquiry he could last night, in
order to ascertain whether the case against Mr. Car-
lile was to come on to-day, and having found that
no notice of trial had been given to Mr. Carlile, he
was left in no doubt that his case against Stoddart
would be' first tried. He concluded with repeating (in
even a still more vehement tone than before,) that if
the Court would not give his case the precedence, he
would have to•complain, not only of a delay, but of
a rank denial of justice! '
The Cuter JUSTICE—Have you done, Sir?
Mr. HUNT bowed his assent.

The CHIEF Junto' now observed, in a-very mild,
yet dignified manner, that this was the first time, in
the whole course of his experience, either on the
Bench or at the Bar, that he had seen the Court ad-
dressed in the manner it had now been. It was out
of the usual course to apply at all to the Judge as to
the order of the cases tried—that was a matter which
lay wholly with the Clerk of the Court. When he
first took his seat on the Bench, he had expressed an
anxious desire that all Special Jury Causes
sshould be
.brought on in their regular order, and he had not
known the rule to be deviated froni, except under
special circumstances, which fully justified the devia-

tion. In the present instance, there appeared no
reason whatever for going out of the regular order.
All the cases against Mr. Carlile stood in his paper
before that of the 4 King v. Stoddart': he was bound
to proceed with the cause which had been called, and
uothing would induce him to depart from what he
knew, and felt to be his duty. -
Mr. CARLILE now rose, and observed, that he had
been quite taken by surprise. lie had made every
inquiry be could last night, in order to ascertain whe-
;her this third prosecution against him was to be
brought on to-day, but could get no information on
the point. He thought it had been abandoned.
The CHIEF Jusucx—g6 Did you get no notice ?"
Mr. CARLILE" Not the least notice. I did not
know that I was to be brought up to Court till this
morning, when the Officers came and told me that
must be ready in a quarter of an hour to go along;
with them. I am without the books and papers ne-,
cessary for my defence. lam wholly unprepared,•
In an hour, perhaps, I might be ready. The case of
Mr. Hunt might proceed in the mean time."
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that he would be
extremely sorry—that he would, indeed, be unworthy
the situation he filled, were he to think, of taking
any defendant by surprise. But when he considered,
'that upwards of a month ago he was applied to by
Mr. Carlile, to know whether the different prosecu-
tions against him would come on at these Sittings,
and, that he had then expressly informed him, that
they would all be brought on in succession, he could
not help thinking, that it was somewhat strange in
the defendant to talk of being taken by surprise, or
of being unprepared to go into his defence. If, how-
ever, the defendant stated fairly, and, he would take
it for granted, that he did state fairly, that he was
taken by surprise, in being brought up to defend
himself against the present proseesoimb -be far
from desiring to press on the trial» ' the must

poned, it ought not to be to the detriment of the
many other causes that are on the list to be tried, but

says is extremely pmper. Defendant, you have your

e present Sittings. It is a prosecution for a Sedi•
;ions Libel, alleged to have been A 14111104 by the
Defendant in Sherwin 's Register. • io
Mr. HUNT then rose, and after having arranged his
papers, of which he exhibited a great !limber, he
addressed himself to the Chief Justice:...." bly Loft
is my case against Doctor Stoddart to tome on now?"
The CHIMP JOBTICL--" You would not wish that
it should come on in the absence of the defendant's
Counsel?"
Mr. HUNT.—" No, my Lord; I would not take
that advantage of him, which I know the Doctor
would take of me. I well know, that if that we*
character could do tiny thing to my prejudice behind
my back, or in the absence of any bOdy- who might
stand tip to defend me, he would do it with all hi.
heart."
The Crum JUSTICILe-41 Mr. Hunt, I request you
will abstain from making observations of this kind.
They are not fit for me to hear."

Mr. Hurr.—ig My Lord, I speak of the defendant,
as I shall shew him to the Jury."
The CH= JUSTICI.-" It is extremely improper
to address me in this manner. Be guarded in your
conduct, Mr. Hunt. If you do not act respectfully,
the Court may perhaps be obliged to remind you
that you have no right at all to be heard in the mat-
ter. You ought to bear that in mind, sad regulate
your conduct accordingly, as on that may
depend
your being allowed to speak. I-shall returncr
short time to the room, till the Counsel and parties,
come into Court. They must be rather taken by sur-
prise from the turn the case of Carlile has taken."
Mr. HUNT—" But, my Lord,"
The CHIEF JUSTICE—•." I will hear no more from
you, Sir." His Lordship then left the Court.
In about five minutes Mr. SCARLZTT, Counsel for
the Doctor, entered the Court, and soon afterwards
the Chief Justice took his seat upon the Beach.—
The Doctor appeared not.
Mr. HUNT rose---

The Cuter Jusrice--gg Mr. Hunt, it would be
advisable in yon to c....me nearer to me, in order that
I may communicate with you as to the witnesses you
intend to have called."
Mr. Husir—ig My Lord, my present situation is
well adapted to me. The communications I may hold
with your Lordship shall be audible. They shall WI
before the Public.
The Cunt, JUSTICE" Certainly they must—bl
it will be more convenient if you would approach
nearer to me."
Mr. Howr-4‘ My Lord, I do not wish to change'
my situation; I wish to be opposite to the Jury—at
is necessary that I should be in this place, for I intend
to address the Jury."
The CHIEF JUSTICE—" That you cannot do, Sir.
It would be well that you should distinctly under-
stand the nature of your present situation. In all
proceedings in the Court of King's Bench, a prose-
cution by indictment is not, in point of form, at the'
suit of an individual. If an individual institutes
a prosecution, and thinks fit to put the law in motion
in the name of the King, the suit is not the suit of
the individual, but of his Majesty ; and, under such
circumstances, no person has a right to address the
Jury, upon the part of the prosecution, but a King's
Counsel. This his already been decided in the
Court of King's Bench, in Westminster Hall, upon nil
occasion on which an individual stood in a situation
similar to your's. I there refused to hear the real
prosecutor, upon the grounds which I have just
stated. The conduct I adopted underwent the ex-
amination of the Court, and was acquiesced in. At
Courts of Assize, things of this kind frequently occur.
It is the practice of individuals to institute proceed-
ings in the name of the King, and when they do not
employ Counsel, to consult with the Judge, as to the
most proper course of conducting the prosecution—
and in this manner justice is administered. If lam
wrong in this view, you can apply to the Court of
Kings Bench ; but I must assure you that this course
is the only one I shall allow to be pursued."
Mr. Hvxr--4. I must tell your Lordship=
The CHIEF JUSTICE-..-" If you do not wish the
cause to be withdrawn, you will pursue this course."
Mr. Hvitir--,, I hope, my Lord, you don't think
the Judges infallible. Upon my word lam fax from
thinking so. Your Lordship, peshaps, is in a little
error yourself in laying down this doctrine, to which
I certainly can never subscribe."
The CHIEF JUSTICE.-••• 41 Sir, I claim no infallib6
lity. I am not presumptuous. The grounds onsirhieir
I oppose your inclination upon this subject, are legati
and cannot be infringed."
Mr. Hunr—g6 .My Lord, there can be no autho•
rity of a proper character for such a mode of pro-
ceeding.',
The Curer Jtisrrcs--4i I'll hear -so more ! Call
another cause, officer."
Mr. Hour—,4 Then I mast declare in this open
Court that I meet with a denial of justice here, and
of course I must deny the•existence of justice here."
The Cams Jusrica--,, Notwithstanding those
'frequent and bold interruptions which you have
given to the course of the proceedings of this Court,
mid the disrespectful manner in which you have con-
ducted yourself in my presence, I shall' call Your
cause If you determine to pursue the legitimate forms
%id down for your observance."
Mr. Hour I shall certainly take my own way

Your Lordship said I was a bold man. I *now-
ledge that lam bold in the performance ofmy duty.
I am not bold in making false accusation, or in
asserting falsehoods, a quality far which others are
celebrated. My boldness merely arises from ndeter-
znination to do justice to others, and not to neglect
myself, when public justice inks 9neution, in my per-
