THE grAITSMAN

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fats. 10.

TEE KING W. 11001$.

This was a conviction by two Justices, of the defendant,
as a common-brewer, for selling ale by retail, without a
Magistrate's license' contrary to the 35th Geo. 3, c. 113.
A case being sent by .
the Sessions for the opinion of this'
Court Court upon the construction of that Statute,
Mr. Serjeant PILL now appeared in support of the con-
viction.
The ATTORNIT GENERAL. on the part of the Board of
Excise, appeared for the defendant. The case. having
been set down in the Crown paper for argument, was now
brought on by motion out of its turn, as one involving a
question of very general and pressing importance. The
Court was informed by the Learned Counsel in the outset,
that it was a question which would occupy a very short
time in discussion, and were therefore at first induced to
entertain it, but being informed that the construction of
other Acts of Parliament was involved, they resolved that
the case should keep its place in the Crown paper, their
Lordships not having been prepared fur the discussion.
The question was, whether the defendant. a common-
brewer, having an Excise license, was authorised to sell
beer by retail, without a Justice's alehouse license. This
question depended upon the construction of the 26 (leo.
2. c. 31. and 35 Geo. S. c. 113. For the reason above-
mentioned, the Court, for the present, refused to entertain
the discussion, but intimated, that if the question was of
such general importance as intimated, any doubt upon
it might be remedied by an Act of Patliament between
this and the next term, to which time the case must
stand over.
In consequence of this intimation, the case, which we
understand is one, the decision of which is of general
importance, must stand over till next term.
THE KING, v. HARIPIR.—This defendant, having suf-
fered judgment to go by default, to an information for as-
saulting an Excise officer in the execution of his ditty, was
brought op on the motion of the ATTORNETMENEHA L to
receive the judgment of the Court, and was sentenced
to
one month's imprisonment in the gaol at Canterbury.
THE KING v. DAVID STLYANUS.—This defendant was
also brought up to receive sentence on a judgment by tle-
fault, to a like information. The defendant was a native
of Miles, and very unable to speak the English language.
He had assaulted an Excise officer in the execution of his
duty under rather aggravated circumstances, when
the latter was searching for malt which bad not paid the
Excise duty. lie was sentenced to six months imprison-
ment and hard labour in the House of Correction.
THE KING v. WILLES.—This defendant had likewise
pleaded guilty to an information for attempting to bribe a
Custom-house officer in the execution of his duty, in
searching for nncustomed goods onboard an East India free
trader,on board of which the defendant was steward, and he
was now brought up for judgment. Ile was sentenced to
one month's imprisonment in the King's Bench prison.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. ATTORNEY I INCRAL moved for a rule to strew cause,
why a criminal information should rot be filed against the
printer and publisher of the Indian Observer newspaper
for a scandalous and defamatory libel on Sir William Rum-
bold, Hart. lately arrived from India, imputing to him
gross fraud and misconduct in his official situation at Hy-
derabad, under the Madras Presidency. The Learned At-
torney read in the first instance a placard which had been
exhibited in front of the office of the newspaper in question,
with the following inscription :—" Sir William Rurnbold
turned out of India, for an attempt to defraud the Govern-
ment of 35,0001.; an early edition. Two o'clock." In
consequence of this notice, Sir William Itumbold, by his
Solicitor, desired that the placard might he removed. It
was not removed, and next day a long article appeared in
the paper, imputing to Sir William an attempt to commit
a gross fraud in his official character, and as a member of
the housrof Messrs. William Palmer and Co. of Hyde-
rabad, by falsely pretending to the Government of India
that lie had come wider obligations to a native Prince, to
the amount of 75,01101. whereas, in fact, the obligation did
not exceed half that sum, whereby he attempted to defraud
the Government of 35,0001. in consequence of which he had
been sent Lome by Mr. Adam. The affidavits of the Ba-
ronet denied the matter stated. in certain qualified terms,
bat not in distinct anti onqaalified tern's.
The COURT hesitated a considerable time, and at length
The CHIEF JusTics said, a great deal uf the matter stated
in the publication had been denied, but probably, on fur-
ther consideration, it will be found that as Sir William
Rnmbold has denied so much he can deny a great deal
more. _

The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, that his client had posi-
tively denied all the defamatory matter stated.
Mr. Justice BEST. —A great deal depends upon the pre-
cise languairein which the matter is dented.
The CHIEF JUSTICE.—If you desire it, hand in the affi-
davits, and %re will compare the denial with the terms of
the alleged libel.—The ATTORNIT GENERAL.--I Will men-
tion the matter again to your Lordship to-morrow.
The matter therefore stands over.
THE KING V. THE STEWARD OF THE BOROUGH OF
• PETERSFIELD.

Itir. GAsSI,Sa obtained a Rule, calling upon the defend-
ant to skew cause why a criminal information should not
be filled against him for improper conduct, in summoning
the Jury for the Borough Court Leet.
MR. COBBETT AND THE KENSINGTON TURNPIKE.
Mr. BROUGHAM moved for a rule to sliew cause why a
criminal information should not be filed against Mr.
Sketchley,' a Magistrate of the County of Middlesex, end
Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Kensington
Turnpike Roads, for alleged improper conduct in his
office. The Learned Counsel entered into a long statement
of Mr. Cobbett's causes of complaint, from which we col-
lected three grounds in support of the motion ; first, that
/dr. Sketchley. as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, had
omitted to cause a table of tolls to be exhibited at the dif-
ferent turnpike-gates, pursuant, to the Statute 4 Gee. 4. c.
95; second; that bring treasurer of the trust, be bad omit-
ted to render an account to himself as a trustee of the
monies in band, pursuant to the statute; and, thirdly, that
lie had received as treasurer a large sum collected in tolls
not warranted by the statute. it was suggested, that Mr.
Cobbett, who resided at Kensington, had with great public
spirit endeavoured to puts stop to the extortionate demand
of tolls by the gate collectors, not warranted by the
statute. lie bad brought the offenders to justice, and con-
victed them in the penalties prescribed- by the law; but
these were inadequate to the attainment of substantial
justice; and, therefore, this was the only remedy open
against the real receiver of these unlawful proceeds of un-
just demands. First, it was the duty of Mr. Sketchley, to
'wise a table of fees to be exhibited at the different
gates of the trust. Second, as trustee, he was incompetent
to bold the office of treasurer; and third. he had a direct
interest in preventing the due audit of his accounts, and
in screening the unlawful conduct of the Collectors of the
Tolls.
The COURT, after listening attentively to the grounds.of
the motion, said there was nothing stated which would
justify a criminal information. First. as to the omission
In not exhibiting a table of tolls, this might.be snare negli-
gence without any corrapemotive; second, as to the hold-
ing die office of treasurer, without properly presenting an
account is order that it might be audited, Mr. Sketchley
might -reasonably reply that there bad been no meeting of
the Tnotoseat which his ac.cpuala could be audited; sad,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TUESDAY, Pas. 10.

FIRE IN WATLING-STREET.
THURTELL V. T. B. BEAUMONT.
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN showed cause why the Role for
a new trial in this case should not be discharged. This
was a case that was connected with parties and circum-
stances which had excited a degree of interest never sur-
passed. The evidence of John Thurtell and Joseph Hunt,
might not be believed, and he asked their Lordships to
consider the case upon distinct accounts. This case could
not be restored to its former state, on account of the preju-
dices that had gone forth, for it did not follow that be-
cause a man had been guilty of one crime he was also
guilty of another, which is the reason of the resistance of
this claim. He would put it thus, because there was a
suspicion (for he would go no higher) that the house in
Watling-street had been wilfully set on fire, and that if
there were any goods on the premises. they were re-
moved before the fire. Assuming that J. Thurtell was the
most worthless man on the face of the earth, be did not
think it was in human nature to commit the crimes imputed
to him of arson and penury. But striking his evidence
out of the question, the Learned Counsel continued, he
would contend that this claim ought not to be resisted. It
had been proved on the trial, that goods to the amount of
1,7001. and upwards, had been purchased by 'l'. Thurtell,
besides the furniture, with the view of his entering into ha-
sines% as soon as lie could get released front his engage-
ment at the Cock. This had been proved by unimpeach-
able witnesses. He addressed himself to men of know-
ledge, independent of that of their profession, and he asked
whether it was ever heard of that a man would purchase
goods and pay for them with ready money, in order to
put them into a house, and then set it oo fire. The testi-
mony of Anderson, swore positively that the goods so sup-
plied were deposited on the premises, and were, as he firm-
ly believed, on them on the night of the fire. There was
proof of the delivery of goods at half-past four in the af-
ternoon before the fire.
Mr. Justice PARK—You have a strong proof on your
side in the evidence of Leath.
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN thanked his Lordship. But it
was said, what evidence have we that John Thurtell was
not on the premises? He answered that the evidence of
Enloe went to prove the fact. But independently of this
it was a snowy night, and if he had been on the premises
he might have been traced. Ensor swore that John Thur-
tell was never out of his sight from the Saturday afternoon
until five o'clock an the morning of the fire. Had the tire
then commenced? It had—it was seen to break out at
twenty minutes after four.
Lotto Fitter JusTicii.—Yon have a right to sesume
that the Jury were satisfied the fire was not occasioned
ilfully, and their verdict is not to be disturbed, except on
fresh a Ifid avi tr.
Mr. Sesgrant VAUGHAN would therefore be short. He
then alluded to the affidavits of Mr. Beaumont and Wrig-
glesworth. Wrigglesworth stated that about the middle of
December, John 'name!' and Snowden went to Mar-
grave's, and offered goods, purchased of Todd and Morrison,
twenty per cent. under prime cost, on the introduction of
Wrigglesworth. Was his evidence true ? Who is. he?
A discard' d servant of Meows. Margraves. Something
had been insinuated by Mr. Beaumont against the Messrs.
Margraves : but the Learned Counsel contended that they
were men of-high and unimpeachable character, and inca-
pable, lie believed, of any dishonourable action. But
Wrigglesivorth would have it believed that they had actu-
ally bought the goods of Thurtell 20 per cent. under their
value, and that the original invoices were first deposited
with them, and afterwards changed, and that the proceeds
had been demanded by John Thurtell. If the Messrs.
Margraves were the tainted characters that Wrigglesworth
had described, they would not have done their work in so
bungling a manner; but they positively deny that they
ever knew or saw John Thurtell, as well as the circum-
stances relating to the invoices. Every part of Wriggles-
worth's affidavit had been contradicted by Snowdon.
Loan CHIEF JUSTICE.—There is one part of Snowdon's
evidence to which I will advert. Snowdon states that he
acted as an agent. but it is not said to whom lie was an
agent. If he sold the goods es an agent, why did he
not swear for whom he sold them. He does not negative
that they were Thurtell's. But, brother Vaughan, don't
think I am giving any opinion in the present stage.
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN admitted it would have been
hooter if this part of the subject bad been gone more
fully into.
Mr. Justice Pastx.—Whether this fact is of sufficient im-
portance to warrant a new trial he would not say, but it was
an ob lion fit to be made. •
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN—The invoices were produced on the
trial. On the subject of the payment of the proceeds, it was
positively sworn by Mr. hlargrave, that he never paid any
money to John Thurtell, on account of any sale whatever.—
The Learned Counsel continued to c'mment at considerable
length on the alleged transaction with the Messrs. Margraves.
He then adverted to the origin of the fire, and observed that it
might have been caused by the negligence of Wilkinson. who
occupied the lower part of the house, where the plaintiff's wit-
nesses swore they first saw the fire and " well He con-
tended, that after Ghat had passed in Hertfordshire, this cube
could not be restored to its former state ; and that upon this
ground a new trial should not, therefore, be granted. The de-
fendant had gone to Hertford to make enquiries of Joseph
Hunt at a moment when he was preparing for a most awful
oscasion. this rendered it necessary for the other side to go
also to Hertford to make enquiries of John Thurtell. If the
declaration of such a miscreant were worthy of the least cre-
dit, he would confront Joseph Hunt with Joseph Ilunt.—lf
there was any moment when his words might be believed, it
must have been Immediately after his conviction, when lie went
to John Th,urtell's cell, burst into tears, and acknowledged
that he had done him wrong. With these observations he left

the ease.
Mr. Sergeant PILL followed on the same side. If this case
were to be tried again it would be impossible to prevent pre-
judices existing le the minds of a Jury.
Mr. Beaumout rose, in the hope that he should be allowed
to wipe of the aspersions which had been thrown out upon
his character, before his Counsel entered upon their ar-
gument.
The LORD CRIMP JUSTICR said, he was not aware of any
sspersions.
Mr. Beaumont said. it had been thrown out that Wriggles-
worth was about to give his testimony under the temptation of
a reward. •
Mr. Justice Faux observed, be was not aware that Mr.
Sergeant Vaughan bad exceeded the ordinary bounds of
Counsel, when commenting upon evidence. Father, how-
ever, the Gentleman must come forward by his own tkin-
'eh or by himself in his own behalf. The Court would
then listen to him with cheerfulness, but they could not
sacrifice the roles and laws of their proceeding.
Mr. Sergeant TODDY agreed that this was an unprece-
dented case, bnt if it was meant to insinuate that because
one agent or one witness in a grime had been since con-
victed-of a capital (Alines, therefore there wee no ground
for any ulterior proceeding, that argument be begged leave
most explicitly to deny. If it were wall founded, a criminal_
would have to add a fresh load to his guilt, and to make it
yet more appareni in the eye of all mankind to secure him-
self from his due punishment. He would now say to his
Learned Friends, that their evidence it was his intention
to controvert, and their inferences to impugn. (Here
Mr. Taddy took a clear and tnioute view of the whole cast,
from the commencement of the affair with the Insurance
Offwe.)
Mr. Sergeant Ceoss took the same side, and the Judges
left-Court se soon as the argument was brought to a con-
clusion, for the purpose of giving their decision epos it at
(this day.)

LURD FARN,HAbI.

KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, SATURDAY.
TUB ZING, AT Till PROSCCUTION OP IHICHARL LYNCH, V.

LORD t►RNHAM.

The SOLICITOS GENZRAL rose for the defendant, to shew
cause why a criminal informaton should not be granted.
He read the affidavit on the part of the plaintiff (the pro-
minent features of which appeared in a former number of
this Journal, and mnst he fresh in the recollection of our
readers.) lie said that the charge was a most heaCy and
serioul one (if true), and felt it rather extraordinary that
the prosecutor, having stated that several persons were
present at the infliction committed upon him, did not en-
deavour to bring some of them forward to substantiate his
allegations. The fact was, that his Lordship had wholly
abstained from interfering in the matter, but had desired
bis wood-ranger (Wilson) to take the boy before Mr. Gra-
ham, a near Magistrate. It was a most serious imputation
upon Lord Farnham to say that, in his Magisterial cap t-
city. he had from the Bench, without any trial or evidence,
directed punishment to be inflicted upon the prosecutor.
But his Lordship, in conjunction with the Reverend Mr.
Robinson, one of the presiding Maziqrates at the Petty
Sessions, and Wilson, the wood-ranger, bad come forward
by affidavit to rebut the false statements of the prosecutor.
He (the Solicitor General) would not read the lengthened
affidavits, but would state in substance their contents.
Lord Farnham had had, from time to time, many acts of
depredation committed upon his demesne; the prosecutor.
however, was caught in the fact by the Wood-ranger
(Wilson), and was by him brought before his Lordship,
who immediately directed that lie should be taken to some
other Migistrate. Lord Farnham, however, as was usual
with him on all such oecasions, attended the Petty Sessions
on the 34 of September last; the Reverend Mr. Robinson
and another Magistrate were also in attendance. When
the case of the prosecutor was called for, his Lordship
said, "I am concerned and will retire," and accordingly
did so. Here the Learned Solicitor grounded a long ar-
gument on the observation used by Lord Farnham, as ex-
culpatory to his being a party to any subsequent acts.
The Learned Counsel deprecated the rancorous spirit
which hail dic.ated the prosecution, and lamented that
their Lordships could not overtake the slander, which had
spread far and near; and concluded by saying that the
order could not, in truth or justice, be grante
I.
Mr. WA LL ACV, for the prosecution, rose, and made a pro-
position to the defendant's Counsel, that if they would con-
sent to have the facts of the case go before a Jury, lie (Mr.
IV.) would altogether alntain front making any further ob-
servations to show that the conditional order ought to be
made absolute.

The SOLICITOR GENERAL, after s few observations, dis-
sented.

Mr. WALLACE resumed.—He felt that, however moons-
creet his Lordship might have acted in his magisterial
capacity at the Petty Sessions, he bad, in his allegations,
in which be unfurled the hag of party feeling. as being the
excitation of the present prosecution. been much more in-
discreet; in stating this, he imm-diately announced his
being at the head of a party. Such a topic was an irju-
dicions and dangerous one.—ln the King's Bench, surely.
no party feeling could there find its way. Did the Noble
Lord think, by introducing such a topic, he could disparage
or lay aside the merits of the complaint? IM he think
he could thereby lessen the imputation ? He (Mr. Wal-
lace) would say, that the very imputation of party feeling
having crept into the present proceedings, rigid justice
should strip party influence of its mischievous force, by
dealing rigorously with it. He would ask, was the present
a party question? Party feeling partook of an insidious,
slanderous, artful character • but lie thought it needless to
say that, in the King's Bench, party feelings never could
nestle—party feeling could not find a protector in the
laws; such a charge was, in his opinion, quite idle. Mr.
Walace next observed, with great energy and emphasis,
that there was no period in which there was not to be found,
amongst the profession, those who would come forward
fearlessly, in a Court of Justice, to advocate the cause of the
humble and the oppressed, against the proud and the
great; and that, for his part, lie would rather submit to
have the gown stripped from off his back, than dreg it
through the mire of party. He then forcibly and elo-
quently went over the various points of the prosecutor's
[cage.

Mr. HoLases, on the same side, contended that Lord
Farnhatu had, in this instance, outraged his magisterial
duties, and violated the law. He snpported his proposi
tion by tooting the Timber Act ; and contended that if
the facts stated by the prosecteor were established, Lo►d
Farnham had rendered himself wholly unworthy any longer
to hold the Commission of the Peace.
Mr. JOHNSON, for the defendant, argued at great length,
and contended that the Conditional Order could nut in the
present case be made absolute.
The Judges deliberated a considerable time, when the
LORD CHIEF JUSTICE announced, that the opinion of the
Court was, that the proceedings in this ease ought to be
inquired into. It would therefore abstain front snaking
any observations, and the rule was wade absolute.
The Court was crowded to excess in every part.

STEALIXO OF Got.o.—Yrsterday Thomas Redding. and
Richard Iluflyer were brought up to Hatton Darden for
final examination, the former, an apprentice in the employ
of Dugard and Simpson. of Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell,
jewellers, charged with stealing a quantity of gold from his
employers, and the latter with receiving the same knowing
it to he stolen.—No new witnesses teing produced oaeither
side, the former depositions were read over.

Mr. LAW, on behalf of Hoflyer, contended that it was
quite clear the confession of lied:ling had been elicited
from him under such circumstances t6t it ought not to be
received as a part of the evidence against Hoßyer.
-Mr. Serjeant SILLLON said, that having maturely weigh-
every circumstance of the case as it appeared in evidence,
he differed entirely from the opinion of the Learned Oen-
tleman. He was therefere compelled to send thi case t.. a
Jury, who would decide on its merits.—All the parties
were bound over.

ALLEGED ImpaNzictroz.--The neiglibourhool of Lad-
lane was in a state of agitation, both on Monday and yes-
terday, in consequence of a new-born infant having been
discovered under circumstances which indicated that its
life had been destroyed by violence. One of the maid ser-
vants valued Alert, of the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-
lane, has a sister who came on Friday last to visit her, and
slept in the house. On Sunday she returned to the coun-
try. During her residence, she complained of being un-
well, and said she was still worse on the morning she went
awry: but nothing else occurred to excite suspicion. She
slept in one bed with her sister, and two other maid-ser-
vants slept also in the same room in another bed. On Mon-
day morning the chamber-maid, when she was making the
bed where the sisters slept, discovered something heavy
within the bed-tick, and on ripping it open found the body
,of a female infant. It was sadly discoloured, and bad the
appearante of having suffered some species of violence.
On making the circumstance known, an inquiry was imme-
diately set on foot, and three of the four women oho slept
in the room, were all placed tinder the charge of a poliqe
if leer. Sospicion at present, however, is fixed en the•
young woman who tame from the country. A Loronet's
Inquest will be held this day at seven o'clock; an.l, in the
mesa time, measures have been taken to secure the suspect-
ed young unman.

Thy house, end (in the cup of life,
That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife.

SOCRATES, by his Discourse on Marriage, so en
raptured his auditors with the subject, that the
married men flew to their wives, and the bachreors hastened
to be wedded; and "The Spectator" has affirmed, that the
word" wife" is the mostereeible anddelighaul name in nature.
Tne sacred lastitation, then, of marriage, compasses the
desideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with hap-
piness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonl2.4,
with bliss hereafter.
Previous, however. to entering into this hallowed obli-
gation, it becomes an imperative duty, oat only to regulate
the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those
impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may
have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention are
attributable, many of those hapless instances, which. %ht)
they excite the commiseration of the beholder, should alsilo
impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
Luxurious habits will effeadnize the body—a residence
the tropics will relax the elastic fibre —hut more especially
does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently com-
promise the natural dignity into a State of itianition. fro
whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance
of relief. To all streli,.tlieh, we address ourselves, offering
hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity: nor will our
advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the
multiplied proofs of twenty yearssuccessful experience.
The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturhed
by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the
nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often coustitutiotrally
weak—yet it can he strengthened, and deficient energy We'
proved into functioqel power.
In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every
relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability
to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to
expel the unfeeling empiric from the position so presemPte-
ously taken up, we deviate from general principles with
less hesitation; and confident in our own honourable inte-
grity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the
suffering community of either Sex (especially those enter-
ing into matrimonial life) at ones to our houses. where daily
attendance is given for personal consultation; and letters
from the country are immediately answered; these must
contain a remiltanee for Advice and Medicine, which can be
forwarded to any part of the world, however 'Latent.
