LAW INTELLIGENCE.

•
COURT OF CHANCERY, Jut ea.
COTAtti CSAIDeIf Orearas—comer O. HARRIS.
Mr. Ronne tailed the attention of his Lordship to
Alicante. and infornseebim that whilst the 'parties
were litigating as to their respective rights in Covent
Garden Theatre, a third party had stepped in, and by
means of certain proceedings in another Court, was
likely to get the whole establishment into his own
bands. That new party was no less a personage than
the Dike of Bedford. and unless something were speedily
done. his Grace, who had brought an action of eject.
meat for the recovery of the premises on account of
non-payment of rent. would be let into possession. The
Learned Gentleman thought that. until judgment were
given by his Lordship in Coast.. Hurts, and the right
of all parties thereby clearly defined, it would be un-
possible to come to any arrangement. Urdu these
circumstances. his bumble application was, that his
Lordship would fix an early day fur giving his judg•
silent in Const Harris.
Mr. PREYS also urged the necessity of speedily
settling the question one way or the other.
• The LORD CHANCILLOR promised to give his kids-
Meat with as little delay as possible.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, hoe $3.
adapts Banes.
The Grand Jury for the county. of Middlesex were
this morning sworn in. Mr. Justice BAYLRY afterware
delivered the charge, and they were dismissed.
Till KING C. EIMER, ALEX/111DRR, AND ORTON.
On the first day of term a rule was obtained. calling
on the defendants, proprietors of the Morning Jonrnals
to show cause why a criminal information should not
be filed against them for a libel on the LorrlChancellor.
-The ATTORNEY GENZRAL this morning observed that
his Learned Friend, Mr. Sergeant Wilde, was tome into
Court to appear for one of the parties in this case; be
(the Attorney General) therefore thought that the case
had better come on. u it was one of considerable im.

•portance.
The CHIEF JUSTICE inquired for what day the rule
wits drawn up?
The ATTOABBY.GBWEBAL replied that it had been
drawn up f r Tuesday.
Mr. Sergeant WILD!' then rose, and said he appeared
for one niche three persons against whom this rule was
ranted, calling on them to show cause Why a criminal
information should not be filed against.them for• pub-
lishing a libel reflecting on the Lord Chancellor. He
(Mr.SergeantWilde) appeared for the defendant Gutch,
who resided in the country, and who was not aware that
the ride find been obtained against him until he sew an
account of it in the newspapers, when btimmediately
came to London, since which time he bas been occupied
in collecting materials for his defence, and be (Mr.
Sergeant Wilde) had little doubt, from reading an affi.
davit which he held in his baud, that his client would
clearly prove that, he stood in a very different situation
to that in which the other two appeared, although.
perhaps, be might happen to be a responsible person
in law.
The ArroanseGattaßAL said he had seen the affidavit
alluded to by the Learned Sergeant, which stated that
Gutch lived in the country, and was unacquainted with
the facts of the case, but being a responsible person,
perhaps this affidavit would be sufficient for the Court
to postpone the rule until Monday, which be would nor
object to. but the rule against the other parties ought
to be made absolute, as no reason had been given by
theM for the postponement.
Mr. Bisarrow observed, that be appeared for Fisher
printer of the paper, and be hoped the Court wt
enlarge the rule against him also until Monday.
- The &nosiest Gauzier. then said, that as no person
appeared for the defendant Alexander, be would make
the rule absolute against him, but did not wish to pre-
ions bkn stymying cause against it with the other de.
!cadent. on Monday.
The isle was then enlarged until Monday against
Gulch and Fisher, and made absolute against Alexander.
with leave for him to move with the others on Monday.
tie [DO v. any. BUSIPHItair PRICE.
The defendant was brooght up for the judgmeat of
the Casks Tor having published handbills of an inflam-
matory nature in the town of Kidderminster, during
the time the weavers were in a state of great agitation
from the lowness of wages.
Mr. CAMPBELL said be bad hoped to have been able
to have brought forward a point of law • but as the
Learned Judge had not saved the point.he was afraid
he was precluded from arguing it. The defendant in.
tende.l to addles* the Conn himself on the matters of
fact. and be (Mi. Campbell) was only retained to give
him his legal assistance.
The defendant denied that he bad retained Mr.
Campbell, or authorised any person to give insuuctions
to Counsel to appear for him.
Mr. CAMPBELL replied. that he bad been instructed
by a most respectable solicit' r.
The Plum Juarico then inquired of the defendant
if he bad any affidavits?
The defendant replied that he had only one affidavit,
from a poor man. a weaver.
Mr. jos' justice BAILEE—Put It in, then.
llse defendant then said that his attorney informed
bias that it was not in Court.
Lard Testroatiem then asked if the prisoner wished
the Coors to postpone the judgment?
Tie defendant replied, that he bad not the least desire
to postpone the decision of the Court, as his prosecuted,
only wished to hang him up to cut him down aria.
is solicitor had told him that his character would be
blasted forever. if he bad not affidavits to speak to it
-but if his character could not stand without affidavits
it had better fall.
. The 'Cate/ JUSTICE SOW desired the defendant to
.address the Court in mitigation. .
The defendant then commenced hisoddress, and re-
potted that be was not better acquainted with the laws
of his country, and compared his case to the duel be-
tween the Doke of Wellington and the Earl of Winthil-
sese. and the law al libel to.the Gorgon's had.
The Caine hermit told bins that the Court could
sot allow Wang spealt in that manner, as it bad nothing
to do wisk4ho as..
dads iben resumed his speak and mewed
that be was not conscious be was acting against any
law, bootee or divine, in, what he wrote, said, or did.
in the Kidderminster affair; but that he acted in the
meaner he did because be thought the maiiilacturers
of the tows of Kidderminstervere the oppussorsqf the
woken:li, by the sweat of whose brow they made their

fostunes. The defoodent, this wished to read *lett*
frost his attorney, but
The Cam jwaTicw said the role of th‘Coort would
not allow it.
A desultory conversation then ensued, in which the
prisoner pressed the Court to hear it, but it was refused.
The ATTORIIIIT Gspzaar., in addressing the Caw,
in aggravation, said. the defence of the defeodant on Ms
trial had bees conducted in the sense maaner, as it up-
peered he only wished to cast reproach upon the ma•
nufecturers.
Mr. Sergeant Buskin: said, that the prosecutors had
not adopted this proceeding until they found it actually
necessary.
Mr. Justice Sevier, in passing the sentence of the
Court, observed. that the prisoner had been convicted
in publishing inflammatory handbills; and as a Clergy
man of •the Church he ought to have abstained from
increasing the agitation which existed among the
weavess. The judgment of the Court therefore was,
that the prisoner should be confined in Staffordshire
gaol for the period of one year.
