THE STATESMAN:*

EX-OFFICIOS.

TO TIM. EDITOR. OF TOE 9TATEVI.ANi.

SIR,-1 cannot stiffirleotly admire the patriotism or

Cowart, in declining all remuneration, in the
way of subscription, for the heavy losses and inju-
ries he has sustained, in consequence of his so ably
advocatlog the cause of liberty. I still more admire
(if povtible) the ground, of his so declining the Au•
merous offers of his fri..nds, namely, 44 that there
are other Gentlemen who have suffered, and who
are now suffering in the same cause, who may stand
_ _

more in nerd of the assistant:: of the Friends of

Freedom." I hope, Sir, this recommendation will
not be lost. Men we see tie press in chains—

when we see the few who ha►e courage, honesty,

and ability enough to wield it ably and bnldly in our
cause, persecuted, oppressed, and hunted down--
when we see, id fact, a regular systematic plan

formed and acted upon, who!,e'object is to destroy
the remaining vestige of our once bansted freedom—
it becomes the bounden duty of every man to !Aria
forward, to shield and protectetluise who are lighting
their battles, and to encourage them to persev:re.—
This, I own, iu a solitary instance or two, has been
done. What I would ieetainmend; however, is, that
a grand general (Gatti* formed; "by public subscrip-
tion, for this purpose; omit I em sure it would honour
any man to step forward';' as the founder'and patron
of such a plan—but as till*, perhaps, cannot be done ,
in a day, permit me to recommend two cases, not
only deserving of,but calling for, immediate attention ;
I mean the case of Mr. Lo yeti., of t4fi Statesman;
and Mr. 11Inr4T, of the Examiner. Of • the former
(in this place) it becomes me to say nothing : hap.
pily the Statesman is too well known to need it.— i

Of the latter it might nut be amiss to state, that ever
since the establishmrnt of the paper, in 1808, it has
stood forth, thebokl, undaunted advocate and friend
of " the People." During the four Sears it has

been estaolished,.,it has withstood and defended
suttee: E r.OffiCiO lnforMations by the Arron-
NEY-GEN cum., all of which have ultimately fallen
to the, ground, and tha Editor has had (I un-
derstand) to pay sometring more than a hundred
pounds (on
,average) in defending each prosecu.
rn-
tion, for Gg guilty of ! ! LIo has
lately been serve:wig% a fourth (once a year !)
officio, for an article published in the Exent!iner of
the 23d March last, in which he said the PRINCZ RE-
CENT was a corpuldnt Gentleman of lifty4 and that
be kept Pork,any with gritmblers ! !!
Lam sure I need not prtss this subject farther.—
I should be doing injustice to the feelings of your
Readers did I doubt after this.—l am, Sir, your's, &c.
Jour 13, 1812. J. M.

ADMINISTERING NLA %V TV& OIT ms.—The Bill,
as amended by the Committee, for preventing the
administering or taking unlawful oaths, enacts, that
persona administering unlawful maths shall be ad-
judged guilty of felony, and sutkr death as a felon,
without benefit of clergy, and that every person ho
shall take such oath, shall bo adjudged guilty of fe-
lony, and transported for life, or for such term of
years as the Court shall adjudge. It also provides,
that persons who may be compelled to take such
oaths shall not be justified, unless they declare the
same within fourteen days. Persons, however, who
shall, within three months after the passing of the
Act, and before they shall be charged with tinder it,
confess the same before some Magistrate, and take
the oath of allegiance to his Majesty, shall be in-
demnified agaiiist prosecution. Persons aiding, &c.
at the taking such oaths, or causing them to be ad-
ministered, though not present, are to be,• deemed
principals.
The Bill for the punishment of persons destroying
the prrperties of his Majesty's subjects, and enabling
the owners to recover damages, enacts, That every
person It 110 shall wilfully or maliciously set fire' to
any buildings, erections, or engines, employed in
conducting any branch of trade, or in which any
goods shall be deposited, shall, upon being lawfully
convicted, be adjudged guilty of felony with not be-
nefit of clergy. Any persons unlawfully assembled
in disturbance of the public peace, who shall demo-
lish, or begin to demolish any building or engine
used in conducting any branch of trade, or in which
any wares shall be deposited, shall be adjudged guil-
ty of felony without benefit of clergy. The persons
injured by such demolishing, wholly or in part, of any
such erection, &c. shall be empowered to recover the
'value of such erection, and of the machinery belong- !
ins thereto which shall be so deatroyod, in such
Manner and form, as are provided in the' Act of the
first year of George 1.
• The Bill now in progress for regulating the elec. I
tion of Knights of the Shire to serve in Parliament„;
proposes, in order to prevent the practice of paying
money to freeholders, on pretence of paying the ex-
pences of their journie3 to the place of election, that
Special County Courts fur the election of Cawdldates
shall be kelt!, to be continued from day to day, and
from' hundred to hundred, throughout, the sesun!y,
eliding with the hundred wherein the town or place
in which elections for the county have been tuntallri
held is situate, and there the poll is to finish.' For
closing the poll w ithin a limited time, two or more i
hundreds may he united. Paying espencesof voters,
to incapacitate the Candidate. • '

LAW. IN7'E LLIGENCE.

•
COURT OF IMO'S' BENCH, Jinn et
JONES V. SEWELL AND MURDOCK.
This waxen action brought by the representative of
the late Sir William Penney, Bart. to recover the
purchase money -of * mill (000014, and money ad-
vanced; by the &called to the Defendants, for car- .
vying on the same.
The defence was, that Sir W. Pultney had par-
chased the mill in question, and grade those advances
for the benefit. of a kap of the name of Petre;
and in order that neither her name nor that of Sir
William' !Muhl appear in the transaction, they were
employed as mere agents to carry on the concern, at
a salary of 30t31. per annum. Mit a letter being
produced from the` Defendants to Sir Win. Pultney,
wherein they acknowledged themselves the proprie-
tors and the money advanced, the Jury found a ver-
dict for the Plaintiff—baniages 00701.

WILSON V. SAME.

This was an action brought by the representative
of the late Lady Bath, to recover advances of mo-
ney made by her badyship to the Defendants, after
the death of Sir William Pultney, for the same pur-
pose, in vi hich it was agreed to take a verdict for the
Plaintiff—Damages 20(X0.
IrJßSlfill (CLERK) v. TICKERS.

This was enaction upon the case for piracy, brought
by the Patentee of the new gun-lock, which ignites the
charge by teems of percUssion on fulminating pow-
der, upon a principle over which dampness has no
controul, as all communication with the external air
Is cot off from the chamber which contains the ful-
minating powder, the ignition taking place within
the barrel of the gun, without any apparent flash.—
The evidence of the Earl of Moira put an end to the
cause : nis Lordship stated, that he had examined
the gun-locks of both the Plaintiff and the Defendant.
It was setup as a defence, that the latter invention
did not go upon the principle of eicluding the eater-
nal air ; but-Lord Moira said, That it intended to do
so, and was defective as far as it did not. The
Plaintiff's invention %as introduced to him by Sir
Joseph 13ankes (who was present in Court), and his
Lordship approving it, the Plaintiff was employed to
perfect it, under an impression that it would be
• adopted-by Government, if found to be publicly be-
, ueficial. One hundred pounds was granted him by
the Master-General of the Ordnance, towardsfes-
fecting this secret invention ; and it was understood;
that this sum was paid on, account of the Plaintiff's
Ifinding a substitute for his duty in Scotland, and ie.
wards the expellees of his residing in town.
,There
• was, therefore, no pretence; to say, that this stun alas
intended as a purchase of his invention, for 'which
he afterwards obtained a patent; and in the specifi-
cation upon which this patent was granted, Lord
ELLENBOROUGH he;d, that the remains of repairing
and cleaning the invention needed not to be set
forth : cleanliness was necessary to man—but it was
not necessary to the constitution that every roan
should flo provided with soap, water, and a basal',
The specification was as perfect as any workman
would req•uire ; and was enough to convey the na-
ture• of the 'intention to the public. " The Jury,
ele-efore, found their verdict for the Plaintiff, with
itch nominal damages as would secure the Plaintiff,
f •
be4t patent.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Jour t&
JOHNSTONE V. EXECUTORS 07 DATIVES.

This was an action to recover a sum of 060!. re-
presented to have been expended upon, and due as a
remuneration for conducting, a farm, the property of
Barnes, for whom.the present adendants were Ex-
ecutors.

The Court was occupied the whole of the day in
examii:ing into the facts of this very perplexed and
intricate case. A variety• of witnesses gave testi-
mony on both sides, and some contradiction took
place.
The Loan Cum JUSTICE, addressing the Jury,
said, that had Johnstone been a steward to Barnes,
as he had represented himself to have been, he
would have kept some account or memorandum, for
the purpose of satisfying his employer that he had
disposed of the money in a manner io his satisfaction;
but there was a total absence of all accounts what-
soever. There appeared no written demand made
upon Barnes during his lifetime for a settlement by
Johnstone, nor accurate testimony that he was ever
employed as a confidential steward upon his estate;
one of the witnesses went near proving some such
acknowledgment by Barnes, but he happened to
contradict his former testimony. The Jury would'
decide what value was to be attached to the testimo-
nies on both sides.

The Jury, without hesitation, non-suited the

a Mil for the relief of- poor persons confined under
mesue process fot deb Lin such gaols as are not
county gaols, froin'the distress they suffer in coolie-
quence of their not receiving any allowance whereon
to subsist during the time of such eoctinement.--
Thse Bill enacts, that Justicesmay order Overseers to
relieve such persons confined under mesne process
for debt in such gaols, who shall appear to such Jus-
tices to he unable to support themselves : the sum
per day to be given for the relief of such persons, to
be limited in the Committee on the Bill. The Bill
also provides, that the Overseers may cause persons
eottfined, if they doubt their settlement, to be can-
mined on oath, and obtain orders for their removal
to the places of their last :ego! settlement : but 2110
ther clause provides, that a copy of the orders of
removal shall be served upon the Overseers of the
poor the parish, &c. in which such poor persons
shall, by such orders of removal, be adjudged to he
legally settled. The neat clause provides, that the
Overseers of the parish in which the poo'r debtors
shall be adjudged settled, shall repay all the expences
incurred to the Overseers of the parish wherein the
the gaol may be situated, but the former are to have
the right of appeal to the nest General Quarter
Sessions., The last clause of the Bill enacts, that
such poor persons not having,. any legal settlement
shall be relievednut of the county rate.

Foaarnir.--Four persons were ysterctay ex-
amined at Marlborough-street Office, ou a charge of
forgery, three of whom were fully committed for
trial. Of these Davis, a publienn, respectably situ-
ated in life, was proved to have dealt in, and also
, to have passed forged paper, to a very considerable
amount, in Essex, and about the cast end of the
town. One castle, a particips crintinis, who had
been deeply concerned with the whole party, was
admitted an approver against companions. It
would tend to prevent the furtherance of justice to
go into a detail of the cases.
