and impressive, was concluded by singing « God
lave the King ;" a strong body of the men, of excel-,
lent voice, was posted on the Mast-house, to lead
harmoniously the notes of the multitude in this fine
inspiriting national anthem, and which was most ad-
mirably performed. The .procession then returned
to Portsmouth, and the Proclamation was read in
front of the Market-house, and again on the Plat-
form. At the conclusion, a rocket was thrown up, as
a signal for a royal salute of twenty-obe guns, which
having been fired, the procession returned to the Ses-

and all other amusements suspended.

was conducted by W. GRA XT, Esq. SAM. 3ELLICOE,
E,q. and E. B. ARNAUD, Esq. Magistrates of the
county, attended by their Clerk, Shetitrs and Peace
officers, the Parochial Authorities, and the most re-
spectable inhabitants of the town and suburbs, who
all joined in the hearty and repeated acclamations of
the assembled populace.

Monday sennight, the Duke of WELLINGTON was
shooting with other Noblemen and Gentlemen at
Gunton, when the Duke killed a hare as it was pass-
ing over a fence. Some of the shot (supposed. to
have struck against the thorns) glanced off sideways,
and wounded a farmer's boy, who was in the load
on.the other side, in the face and thigh. The Duke
evinced great anxiety at the event, until Mr. SHARPE,
the surgeon, who happened to be a spectator, exa-
mined the boy, and assured his Grace that the wounds
were inflicted by spent shot, and mould be of no 'con-
sequence. The Duke then te,umed the sports of the
field, and afterwards very kindly presented the boy
with five pounds.

CdUllt .OF biANCEItY, FEBRUARY E •
The LORD CIIANCELLOR; on taking his scat, CO-
served, that no Report having yet been received from
_the Master's Office in the matter of Dean, he was,
Cierefore, under the necessity of ordering the case to
stand over till Tuesday next:

POLES T. GALPIV.
This case arose out of the well-known traisactloris
!of Kinnear, Moseey Nolte, &c. aid the question now
I was, whether an action might be tried in respeCt to
the validlity.of some bills which wtre htld by a Mr.
! Wingfield, as part of those bills whicb. were .accepted
by Galp!n, without the knowledge of his partricr.—
An action was lately brought in the Court of King's
Bench against Dixon, who held some. of them, ants
the Jury, under the direction of the Lord Chief Jus-
Lice, found for the plaintiffs, Messrs. Coles, on the
ground that such bills were of an usurious nature, and
that the defendant,. in accepting them, must have
known that they were drawn tip by .Galpin, without
the knowledge and consent of his partners, who car-
; ried on business in Fleet-Street. A similar issue was
I now prayed for:
I• The LORD CHANCELLOR, after some remarks on
the very dangerous effects which might result from
partners in any concern being thus allowed to draw
such bilk, stated, that though it did not follow that
the Jury would come to the same conclusion in this
case as they had in the cas,.c of Dixon, still the case
itself was r.f such a nature, that he felt it his duty to
send it to a Jury, and theteloie he ordered the issue
to be tried forthwith in the Court of King's Bench.—
Motion granted. -

COURT OF KING'S BEYCII, FEBRUARY 5.
This being the day chosen for making the return
to the writ of Ilii!)eas Corpus, granted laSt Tuesday
on the motion of Ir. Evans, for bringing up the
body of John Cam llobhouse, Esq. in order to be
discharged front his commitment by the [louse of
Commons, Mr. Brown the Governor of Newgate,
brought his prisoner into Court at ten o'clock. Mr.
Ilobhouse was accompanied by the Hon. Douglas
Kinnaird, and several other friends, and, took his seat
on the Attorneys' Bench. At an early hour the Court
was crowded in every part by spectators anxious to
witness the result of the proceediag. This, however,
being Crown Paper day, the Court, at its sitting,
commenced with the business appointed for the day,
and wa; employed in hearing arguments upon Quar-
ter Sessions cases (none of which were of public in-
terest) until half-past two o'clock.

When the CHIEF JUSTICE announced that the Court
would proceed no further in the Crow_n Paper, and
asked if Mr. Evans was in Court?

Mr. EvAss rose, and answered in the affirmative.
• CHIEF Justice—" I understand the person on
whose behalf you moved tor a Habeas Corpus the
other day, is now in Court."

Mr. liobhouse imThediately stood upon the f10!:4.r,
and Mi. Brown, the Jailer, delivered in his return
to the writ, which was read by Mr. Dealtry,
of the Crown Office. It commenced with reciting,
that the Governor of Newgate, in obedience to the
writ of this Court, most humbly certified that; before
the commencing of the said writ, namely, on the lith
of December, 1819, John Cam Hobhouse, Esq. was
committed to his custody by virtue of a certain war-
rant, to the tenour .and effect following : A copy of
the Speaker's writ was then set forth, on the return,
which recited, " that whereas the House of Corn-
mons had resolved, that a certain Letter, addressed
to Thomas Lord Erskine, &c. was a scandalous libel,
and calculated to inflame the people of this country
to acts of violence towards the Legislature, and more
particularly towards the House of Commons, and
that it was a high contempt (.f the Privileges -and
Constitution of that House; and whereas John Cant
HobhOuse, Esq. having acknowledged himself to be
the Author of the said Libel; and whereas the said
House having this day ordered him, the sli.l John
Cam Hobhoule, Esq. to be committed to his Ma-
jesty's Jail of Ncwgate, these are, therefore, to require
you to accept into yaw/. custody the body of the said
John Olin Habhouset and him safely keep during the
pleasure of the said /louse, for -which this shall be
your sufficient authority.—Dated kith December,
1819, and signed Charles Manners Sutton.".

The return concluded, that the Jailer had hereby
complied with the writ to him, directed by the' Hon.
Court, by bringing up the body of the prisoner.
Mr. Hobhouse was then about to address the Court,
when
The CHIEF JUSTICE said—" Then Mr. Evans does
not appear for this Gentleman ?"

Mr. Hobhouse—L" No, my Lord, it is my purpose to
argue this case myself; but as it is now a very late
time of day, and as I labour under indisposition,
which will not enable me to go through my case, I
humbly move and request that your Lordships will
now allow the return to be filed, and to order that
this case may be argued on Monday,. or any other
day that your *Lordships may please to appoint."
• ,
CHIEF JUSTICE—" What are the points thir °ILL
propose to argue?"
Mr. Hobhouse—" I intend to spew, by the titsltti
which has been made, that the authority ander I:Q7 -
fhave been committed, was incompetent for •t,
purpose. I shall dispute the competency of the tri
bunal in question to commit an Engiishmau to
prison. I shall attempt to shew that the•rettirn itself,
even supposing the tribunal to which I allude has
suCcient authority to commit, contains Certain im-
proprieties which renders it impossible that I can any
ionger be detained in prisOn, or be subject any longer
to L!.at restriction under Which I have '1)&11 so im.;
properly placed. I can, llWever, go on if your
Lerdihips wish it."

Cur.x JesTicc—" Wait a Moment, and we will
consult what is the best course to adopt. (The.judgei
remained in consultation a Jew minutes, when the
Chief- Justice_ resumed).—lt is important that We*
should know what points of objcction you mean to
urge to the returu:' . *

• Mr. Hobhousc—" It is quite impossible that I
should enter into any detail at present if I am to eoznal
up again."
The CHIEF Juirica—,, We shall probably toe
induced to • give you the time, and not subject you'
to the fatigue of arguing the case now, if you Sad.;-
inconvenient Es* yourself. But before we do that,
wish to know what, ale the 'Nuts •of objection ye
