WESTMINSTER SEISMS.

Saturday several persons were discharged by
proclamation, after having undergone the several pe-
riods of punishment to which they were adjudged.
Richard Freeman had been sent to prison for
throwing bricks and stones into Carlton House•yard,
and threatening to destroy the Prince Regent and
Lord Castlereagh.
Mr. SKETCULEY, the Chairman (pro empire) asked
him what the Prince Regent had done to offend him?
" Enough, (said the prisoner) he is not the proper
heir to the Crown of England, and if I can I will
destroy him ; he has no business to take a man's
birth-right away."
This declaration convinced the Court that be was
a maniac. he was consequently ordered back to pri.
son, until some proper asylum be provided for him.
Palter Howard, alias the sham Duke of Norfolk.
who had been committed as disorderly, was then put
to die bar.

95th

He was addressed by the CHAIRMAN, who regret-
ted, that so respectable a looking man-should so often
appear before this Court under the circumstances he
did, for which conduct he could not be consdered to
be fairly in the possession of a sound mind, and he'
(the Chairman) was fearful that the laneutable death
of the Duke •would put additional nutions into his
head, as to the right of Doke&m. Mr. Howard
answered—" It cannot be notions, Sir, when I was
bronglt up under the Duke:. protection, and there is
a Gentleman in Court who knows that 1 tiwd to ride
in his carriage with him. It I had no claim be
would not have purniitted me to have done taus
;
I am committed to prison on. a- warrant that men-
tions neither offence, name, nor place—l should like
to know upon that ground of offence I arse corn-
milted

Mr. S x ETCHLEY —Fordisorderly a nd riotous con duct.
Mr. Howard—•• I never committed either ; it is
the foolish boys that follow me, and the impertinent
monkies • that look out of windowito laugh at my
miseries. I have the title deeds and documents to.
prove I am heir to the estates."
Mr. SKIIICHLEY—" It you are, why don't you
submit them to the consideration of Counsel r-A.
.-they will not trouble themselves, and I have no
money for fees r'
"A Magistrate on the Bench--.!! Why do you not
sue as a pauper ?"—‘• I know I might sue in forma
pauperis ;—I am entitled to it. so is every other poor
man."
Mr. SKErcnt.evill If you were now put into Mr.
Henry Howard's estates and title, what would you
do ?"—. 16 I3e! he was but a servant in the family
at £4O per year; he came over from Ireland alter
having linen a broken wine merchant ; I am dispos-
sessedof the title by forgeries."
Here the CHAIRMAN admonished him, and begged
him not to be seen there again ; he bowed, and quit-
ted the Court.
This unfortunate person has presented a Memorial
addressed to the King, sineethe death of thelate Duke.

Yesterday the Princess. CHARLOTTE of WALLS COM-
pieced her twentieth year, which will be celebrated
this day at Brighton.
NEW YEAR'S Hunr.—Upwards of fifty sportsmen
assembled on Monday to meet the Brighton Pack of
Harriers at Standend Bottom, near Patch:mi. -At
ten o'clock the harriers started a hare, which- gave
them a severe run of three hours, without one check,
when she was killed in sportsmanlike style. At one
o'clock another hare was started, which was run
down in one hour. This hunt was so well contested,
that a great number of horses were knocked np, and
'several oUtlie gentlemen retired. A few sportsmen,
well known for the high mettle of their studs, namely,
W. STAMFORD, Eisq. THOMAS CHASE. Esq. WILLIAM
CHAPMAN, Esq. CHARLES BECK, Esq. and some Gen.
demon who promiscuously fell in, started the third
hare, at half.past two o'clock, at Horabury, near
Brighton, and run her for three hours and five mi.
mites, the harriers keeping her in view almost the
whole time, until the animal made her escape through
the palings into the g.arl of Chichester's Park, at
Stanmore, being then nightfall. This bunt is consi.
tiered unequalled in the annals of Brighton sporting.
