CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Mr. SCARLETT moved for a Rule to shew cause
why a criminal information should not be filed
against the Rev. George King. The ground of this
application was the affidavit of a Mr. Gardner. The
affiJavit set forth, that the deponent and his wife
kept a respectable boarding school in the neighbour-
hood of Ashby, in Lincolnshire, close to which the
Rev. Mr. King had a farm and some glebe land.--,‘
The farm had been let to a tenant, with whom Mr.
King becoming dissatisfied, wished to let it to an-
other, and mentioned the circumstance to Mi. Gard-
ner, with whom he was at that time on terms of inti-
mate acquaintance. Mr. Gardner proposed a friend
of his, and several interview; took place on the subject.
Some disagreement however occurred, and the nego-
elation was broken off. Soon after this, Mr. King
wrote to Mi. Gardner a very insulting letter, in which
he taxed him with swindling, threatening to accuse
and expase him whenever and wherever they met,
and used other language calculated to incite Mr.
Gardner •to a breach of the peace. Upon this the
present application was made.
The LORD CRISP Juartce said, that Mr. Scarlett
had urged enough to induce the Court to call upon
Mr. King for his-answer.
Mr. Scanlan. remarked, that probably the grant-
ing the r ule to shew cause might be sufficient to in•
swer every purpose,Rule to shew cause granted.
Just as their Lordships were about to rise, a per-
son on the floor begged that he might be allowed to
make a motion. It was, he observed, against an At-
torney of that Court.
The COURT intimated its willingness to hear it, and
the applicant was proceeding, when the Court re-
quested that he would briefly state the nature of the
motion, in order that they might know whether it
was within their jurisdiction.
Mr. Pitt (the applicant) then said, it was an appli-
cation against Robert Blake, an Attorney of the
Court, and would conencle with a motion for a rule
to shew cause why Mr. Blake should not give secu-
rity for the safety of his (the applicant's) person.
The COURT said, that if such was the nature of the
complaint, it should be preferred by exhibiting ar-
ticles of the peace against Mr. Blake, and asked him
whether be had such articles ready?
Mr. Pitt said he had not; but he had an affidavit
to which he earnestly begged their Lordships atten-
tion. It was against an Attorney or Officer of that
Court, and one whom he presumed was amenable to
their authority.
The Loan Came hurries said, that they. had no
controul over an Attorney of the Court, except it was
in such acts as arose out of his business as an Attorney.
The affidavit was then allowed to be read. It was
in substance to this effect s—That the deponent,
Charles Pitt, had gone to Arundel, in Sussex, in 1
• Oc-
tober last, in order to be present at the election of
Members of Parliament then about to take place 9 •
that Robert Blake, Attorney, ORS there also, and with ,

the intention of offering himself as a Candidate to'
represent the Borough in Parliament ; that on his
(the deponent's) arrival, a bellman was sent about the
Town, to caution the People against spies and in-
formers, acrd according to deponent's information
and belief, was employed by Mr. Blake, or his agents,
and that it was intended to excite the People against
him, the deponent. That at two or three other periods
in the same month, he, the deponent, was followed
by a mob, headed by one Squires, and put in bodily
fear, and obliged to consult his safety by flight ; and
that, according to his belief, that mob was employed
by Mr. Blake, or his agents, and that some of them
are, still in Mr. Blake's employment. It concluded
by praying the interference of the Court.
The COURT informed Mr. Pitt, that there was no-
thing in his affidavit which could warrant their inter-
ference. The whole of what was sworn was as a
matter of belief, or of hearsay ; and nothing affecting
Mr. Blake was sworn positively. Their Lordships
after wards intimated, that if Mr. Pitt was in fear from
Mr. Blake, he should proceed by exhibiting articles
of the peace against him, founded upon such facts as
he might be able to adduce.
Mr. Pitt thanked their Lordships for the kind at-
tention with which they had heard him ; and said,
that he would take an early opportunity of again
calling their Lordships attention to this matter.

Tuesday, immediately after the sentence was pro-
nounced on Mr. Ca RULE, a writ of kvari facias was
issued, to take possession of such of the defendant's
property as could be found upon his premises, in
Fleet-street. In an hour afterwards property to the
amount, as is supposed, of 12600,- was taken in part
satisfaction of the fines imposed on the defendant ;
and. yesterday morning the Temple of Deism was
completely closed. Crowds, however, at times, col-
lected round the door. Somebody had placarded a
printed paper, with an obnoxious inscription ; in
tearing down which placard the beadles were much
interrupted and hooted by the populace.—Yesterday
morning, at four o'clock, Mr. CARLILE was taken
from the King's Bench, and forwarded to Dorchester
Jail, to undergo his sentence.
SBADWELL.—Yesterday, Michael llrown, of Rat-
cliffe-Highway, a vender of Sunday Newspapers,
appeared to a summons, charged by W. Simms, con-
stable of St. George's in the East, with a profanation
of the Sabbath Day, in having placards hung out-
side his door, specifying the contents of a Sunday
Newspaper. The Magistrate said, that the defend-
ant, by hanging out his placards, not only commit-
, ted a breach of the Sabbath, but also interrupted
the footwey passengers, and became liable to a
pe-
nalty, under the Metropolis Paving Art, of forty
shillings. The defendant was convicted in the pe-
nalty of five shillings and costs; and he promised
the Magistrate that he would not offend in like man-
ner for the future.

DA NINO RODBERY.—Sunday evening the follow-
ing impudent outrage was committed at Temple-bar,
in the presence of at least fifty persons :—An elderly
Gentleman stopped at a fruit-stall, and purchased
some nuts, which he requested the vender to pour
into his coat pocket, fur which purpose he turned
round his skirt, holding his umbrella in the other
hand. A thief, who was passing, gently seized the
umbrella, and making a halt bow, ran up Ship-yard
with it, leaving the owner so confusedthat he could
only say, " Why, I declare the man has got my um-
brella ;" without attempting to make the least pur-
suit, till the fellow had got clear off.
SUPPOSED MURDER IN ST. GEORGE'S•FIELDS.--
Bet Ween nine and ten o'clock on Tuesday night, as
the pot-boy belonging to the Royal Mortar public
house, in the London-road, St. George's-fields, was
out serving his sapper beer, in crossing a• piece of
waste ground, facing the Philanthropic Asylum, and
between that and the Borough-road, he discovered
a man lying on his face in a stagnant pool of water,
close to the path side; the boy immediately informed
the next watchman, who repaired to the spot, and
procured assistance to carry the body to the Royal
Mortar. Mr. Cherry, the landlord, supposing he
might have fallen in a state of intoxication, and that
from the body being then warm, there probably was
life, sent immediately for a medical man, who at-
tendedinstantly. On washing away the mud and
filth from his face, it was'discovered that he had a
dreadful wound on his throat; it appeared to be the
stab of a sharp-pointexl broad bladed knife, in the
gullet, which was ripped up as far as the point of
the chin. From the nature of the wound, it was
supposed to be impossible that he could have in-
flicted it himself, although it did not appear that he
had been robbed, six shillings in silver, and eight-
pence in copper, being found in his pockets. He
appears to be a countryman, about forty years of
age, -dressed in a new smock frock, striped cotton
shirt, and a red silk handkerchief tied round his
neck ; he had on also, a new pair of shoes, yarn
stockings, and corduroy breeches. The pond has
been searched, but no knife or other instrument was
found. It is reported that a man was seen carrying
a body on his back across the field, and on reaching
the pond threw it in, and, owing t the darkness of
the night, effected his escape. The body lay exposed
to public view the whole of yesterday, but remains
still unowned.

A box was stolen from the Liverpool Mail Coach,
on Thursday last, between Congleton and Litchfield,
which contained valuables to the amount of one thou-
sand pounds.
Monday se'nnight, several young men, natives of
Sherburn, attended the fair at Aberford, and met
with Richard Coverdale, the Gamekeeper of a neigh-
bouring Gentleman, at a public-house in that town ;
a quarrel there unfortunately occurred, and several
violent threats were uttered by the irritated young men.
About midnight, however, they proceeded on their
way home, and seem to have loitered on the road
for the purpose of attacking the gamekeeper, for on
being overtaken by him, about two miles from Aber-
ford, one of the young men struck him on the back ;
when Coverdale drew from his pocket a loaded pistol,
and shot William Hawkins dead on the spot. This
dreadful occurrence having taken place, the compa-
nions of the unfortunate man conveyed the lifeless
body back to Aberford, where a Coroner's Inquest
was summoned. The Inquest was afterwards ad-
journed, and we have consequently not yet heard the
verdict.— York lirrald. '
ROYAL Hant.—Tuesday the Royal Stag Hounds
turned ont a fine deer for a day's diversion, at
font. On Friday they will turn out 4 Slough.
