TUX RING r. SIR HUI:DP:TT, WAIT.

Mr. DENsivx being eared on in his turn, proceeded
to state the further grotto is which he loot obtained
Iravr on a former day to mention, in support of the too-.
tion for a noir trial iu this rase, now undrr the Coe-
siderati•in of the l'onrt. The additiuunl grounds of
ohjerti. n he had to 11/. r iv. support of the rube he had
moved were two, and both applirahlr to Mr. Justice

Rest's ritargt• to the .fury; first, that the Learned
j Judge had, by argument awl observation, supplied the
want of certain ititten•; neressiay to be set out in
the information, to es;ILI:11 the meaning of the aiirged
libel ; and seeitted, e Learned Judge having re-
jected the es ;dance tender...l as to the I' !Uri of the
military at the Matvelvesti r meeting, had addressed oh-
serrations to the Jury, ti.tieltiag their con,lurt, aithongli
no farts were pro% r,l to inerrant such observations.
The Learned Counsel said, he was aware that any ob-
jection to the form of the information, founded upon
the want of proper inuendos, would be more properly
addressed to the Collet upon ti motion in arrest of
judgment. Ite was not. the-refute, going to state soy
objection of that kind now, because if it should
be-
come necessary, he should reserve Ititatmolf for the peel
tier season when such an objection a ould he avant*,
it was singular, however, that in the very Lug
anation unAer which the defendant was convirteff,
was but one single iuuentlo, aed that was in rapine*
tins of the word 01,1t-000s who were described in *
alleged libel as haringwanipled upon the persons raw
snot at the meeting. limo alleged libel arts stated
he "of and cotter:aim; the thivernmont of
I realms, avid of and concerning the troops of our 144
the King." In the Address to the Klectors of
'Master, the author used the words, " Women,
disfigured, maimed, cut down, and trampled on by
dragoons." This last tuentioned word was explained
by an inuendo in the information, as " meaning this
troops of our said Lord the Klux, thus." This was the
only inueodo in the whole int rmation. Ills objectioas
now he meant to confine solely to tire stowing up of
the Learned Judge. Mr. s.rjeant Vaughan, in openlag
the case for the proseeution, stated, that there were
several parts of the libel whit% alight, by inference
and argument, be shewn to apply to the Clot ernmeet
of " our L the King," aithoegit there was an
nendo in the information to sustain stab in applies-.
tion ; and when the Learned Judge eame to sank nit,
he adopted the observations of !he Learned tit=
and directed the Jury, as if there had been
giving such meaning to the alleged libel. 'lt~itf was
an objection which he (Mr. D.) would have mentioned
when he first moved the case, but it had not then oc-
curred to him to be necessary. Refreshing Viallnesnery
now, by referring to the short-hand wri ootes of
the trial, lie should mention the point which he
founded his objection. The short was thin—
that where the horonghmongers wen itinstioned in the
libel, it was stated by Mr. Serjeatst Vaughan, that that
meant the governing power of till* Idngdens—the
veranent of England, and' that whets the sloe word
occurred in the course of the libel, it meant the mime
thing. This wordwas left ambiguously, and it ongb
to have been accompioled by nu inuendo. Without
suck an inueetleibeinprinttodureil, it nos submitted to
the Jury, that senilintpiCtite useauiag,sod the Learned
Judge charged' thidi 'that the hoguutsbenengering fat.
,
tiOn 'meant the hove:assent.
Mr. Justice beg 1111461t0n, tblitsis
so, 1 believe. 1 have seen no note of what Isr • '
the Jury t but I speak from my recollei
speak in the hearing of those who heard what I

f think I can bring to your recollection what I laid.
I certainly did not put the construction which the
lUug's Serjetuit pat upon the words " the ho
irsogering faction." I will state to you what 1
say. I stated that the question fur the Jury to dr-
eiae was, wheth.r, looking at the whole of the libel, it
was a libel of and concerning the tioyernment, sod of
sad concerning the king's troops. With reaped to
fM words " Borouglnotagering, faction," I don't pest
tend to say that 1 can recollect the precise terms I used,
but the naeaniof of what I said was this--that those
['lords were equiyosol, whether they were " of and toot-
corning the (*averment," but the Jury must look ti
the whole of the Unified see whether it referred to tVe
ii•fitrwassalit ntttdglPt it to them whether those pit-
Ocular *anis did not 'lather refer to a supposed party
I. the illosse et Couveretse, than to the Ititenvtiyo Go-
rersomeet of the !basil'''. It is tree, indeed, I pat it
to these, whether She passage of the libel, 'kith spoke
of a reign oilier*, ea/ blood, did sot refer non
redly to the liovernasent than to the homughot
ing faction ; sad I dearerl these to look to the
of the libel, and jolly for tlersosolers wlsrtbrir I
lot a libel of and concerning the 111011 t
Mug's troops. • or
