TOR COVRT. •

The Chief Justice gave.jedgment this day in the
above ease, which, it will be recollected; wake, motion
at the suit of Thus. Wallace, Earl, for tal!taittifig a cri-
minal inf rotation against tU defend.itits, a full report
of which we published at the gine.
The CHIEF tiVSTICE, in pronouncing judgmeft„
said, that Le did not conceive list try thing had
appeared in the argument sniticient to implicate
.11.,
defendants in the assault that had been committed
on Mr. Wallace. It appeared, however, to the Court,
that the publication signed ' Ainicus,' which appeared
in the DpUin Weekly Register, together with the
observations on that letter, were fully affixed on Mr.
Michael Staunton, the Editor of that Paper. The
statement which appeared in Garrick': Monti • Nat,
was the avowed produclon of Mr,. Win blo *awe.
and was in the hand-writing of Mr. it. SeOtt,i re other
defendant. His Lordship thought those publications
were highly critninsi, as they attempted to justify: the
assault'; if this doctrine was established, it would ap-
pear that the party who might feel himself aggrieved
in a Court of Justice, had a right to send a challenge,
and if it should not be accepted, to eisiult the person
from whom be received the supposed injury. Those
publications tended also to impede the administration
of justice, and there could be no doubt of their bring
libellous, as they imputed cowardice to the prose.
cutor. His Lordship sai I, that taking all these cir-
cumstances into consideration, the Court felt it their
duty to refer the case to a Jury, who. were the
proper Judges.
His Lordship then pronounced !Vas the
,rinaninrsus
' judgment of the Court, ,that the cause eber a by the
defendants should be diiallowal. ,;,:,5,.M,,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—DuiLta Vie. 16.

Mr. Serjeant Vaxont.nowiddressed the tedit ttis
day, on the part of Hints, Esq., in order to chew
cause why the conditional order, which had been year t-
ed by the Court, fur an attachment against him, iihould
not be made absolute. Mr. ROBERT JOHNSON followed
on the saute side, and Mr. WALLACE, on the part of Mc.
Blackburn*, having replied,
Lord Nonscnv then proceeded to give judgment.—
His Lordship expremed his surprise at seeing two
Learned Gentlemen, one of them belonging to the
Connaught Circuit, gravely tell the Court that the
words " you must abide the consequences," did nor im-
ply the sending of a hostile message. Those words his
Lordship conceived, would not be misunderstood in
either Galway or Sligo ; and if they were misunderstood
in Court, and that a faithful report of the hearing of
this motion appeared in the papers, the English would
suppose that Irishmen were changing their churacters'.
since they did not understand the wording of,a challenge.
His Lordship then pronounced inclement for the grant-
ing the attachment against Mr. Ilion. •
Judge FLETCHER and Mr. Justice Alooan fully coinr
cided with Lord Nonutrav, each giving judgment to
the same effect. Mr. .Instice 'Jon NsoN did not speak.
