THE MONMOUTH GREAT BURGESS CdUSE.

We mach regret that, from many unavoidable ob-
stacles, we have been compelled 80 long to defer gr.f-
tifyiug our readers, by giving publicity to many im-
portant and highly interesting occurrences connected
with the proceedings and results of the above most li
important cease.
It appears that during the whole of the progress of
the various proceedings lately instituted against the
Common Council, every part of their conduct had
been from time to, time marked and characterized by
every thing inconsistent, vexatious, and tyrannical
In the origin of the dispute io Oct. Lehr, they were
contented to assign, as their only reas.or fur refusing
the interference of the Burgesses in the election of a
Mayor, that they were taken by surprise, and they
were wholly unable to state on what grounds, or to
explain in any rational manner why they so abruptly
excluded theta from voting on such occasion ; but, on
the contrary, most insultingly told them that they
Auld not vote or interfere at all. It is must im-
portant to observe that at that time there was not a
shadow of idea entertsioca by any one of the existence
of any By-Lew as their authority for so acting; that
idea never once occurred to them, nor to any other
person, but was perfectly as remote from their consi-
deration as the idea of observing any common honour
or decorum towards the Burgesses. After they were
defeated at the Gloucester Assizes, they, on the second
mock-election in July last, tenaciously adhered to the
same illegal system of self-election as before, though
they became much more humble, and even _canvassed
the Burgesses for their rotes, and secured as many
by such means as they were enabled to do; but after
mach tampering, juggling, and double dealing ou
the occasion, finding they had not succeeded in pro-
curing as many votes as they wanted, they pretended,
with the most contemptible affectation or candour and
justice, that they could not permit any Borges* to,
vote against them, without the sanction and authority
of the Court of King's Bench, observing that, when a
decision from that Court was given respecting the
question at issue, they would immediately abide by'
it, and that such decision was all they wanted to
guide them. In conformity, therefore, with this
barefaced mockery of justice, they persevered
in the same insulting ceremony of ranrussieg the
'Burgesses for their votes on the third mock-electionin
October last, when the same illegal mode of election
was adopted for the third time, and the nomination by
the Burgesses, of a person to serve the office :If Mayors
was again, illegally and tyrannically rejected, aid
treated with the same largess defiance as on the former
occasion, but with additional aggravations of injury
and insult towards them by the wilful suppress:on of
the protest made and presented by them on such for-
mer occasions against the' :node of election then
adopted. On the occasion of this third mokk election,

pretended anxiety gt...,necision of the Court
of King's Bench respecting the validity of either elective
and openly and unblushingly held out rarkus threats
and menaces that, let what would happees the ltn-gcssel
should 'lever succeed in their oloject,—that they %voted
keep up and probing the litigation for these tea'
years,—that the Burgesses would be unable to pro-
cure the means of defraying the expenses attendant
on sorb protracted litigatior, and that, in shoat, one
of tle Town-Bradles or Constables would be sooner
likely to be Mayor than any one prupo:wil by the
burgesses: and many other such conieliptili:e threats.
The truly vexations and hart-wising srdein however
afterwards resorted to by the Common Conntil, to in-
volve the burgesses in ruinous expense by the napre-
cedented length of their pleas, (whirl' was only
etl as a tyrannical artifice to oppress and grind Clete
dawn so as to disable them,) is an intlispiitab:e proof
that their sole reliance fur success was piaced in the
hope that the Burgesses would be unable to pay for
the office-copies of their voluminous end fictitious
pleas, which amounted to sesersi hundred pounds,
and that such artifice was only practised to sup ly the
wretched deficiency of any just, honest, or honourable
ground of defence. But notwithstanding ell them
dishonourable experiments to bolster up tyranny, in-
justice, and oppression, the sacred cause of justice
again and ogeia triumphed; and the vertlir! of dna-
Sher honest, independent, and enlightened Jury has
firmly and irrevocably fixed and" establishel its baa;a„
on a foundation Never again to be shaken or disturbed.
The Common Council however were no! to Be satisfied
by any kgal decision, nor controlled by any law; fur
they, even after this, bell out defiance, and again re-
fused obedience to the laws of their country, though
they declared to several persons, with the most con-
summate duplicity, that they did not Intend to liti-
gate the question any more, nor to. offer any further
resistance to the claims of the Burgesses; and even
professed to entertain the must anxious wishes that
peace and harmony might be restored to the town.
These assurances werealetually made by the late Act-
ing Mayor, Mr. Eilinunti Bond Prosser, after the decision
at the last Monmouth Assize', ; but immediately after
which an application arras made to the Court of King's
Bench, to set aside the verdict and to obtain a new trial,
which lie disclaimed any knowledge of, after lie knew
the object bad failed; for such an application was
unanimously rejected by the whole Court; which finally
put an end to every further means of disturbing the
second decision of the Jury. But even this solemn
adjudication and judgment of all tbr Judges hail no
effect oa the loannina Council; for the late Acting
Mayor, Mr. Edmund Bond Prosser, when &treed with
the process of the Court of King's Bench, for acting in
defiance to its decision and authority, not only treated
