Mr..letcetris said, the motion had been brought' forward too
hastily. In his opinion It would be time enough to find 'the
ground when they had raised toe subscription. Ile should vote
against the Resoletice.
Mr. PATTRN said, the poly donbts he had ever entertain:
ed on the subject was, whether the Common Council would
have virtue enough to agree to the motion for which he should
Mr.'R. TAYLOR followed on the sant:. side.. This had
been considering the death of a man, who was cruelly
murdered by the Despots of Europe, who had combined
against the people ; and he saw no reason why the people
should not combine against them. The cause of Riego was
the cause of liberty every where, and above hil of England.
There Was to mach reason to suppose that oar Ministers
lied acted their part of •despntism on the Continent, and
as their condnct had been, to say the least of it, equivocal.
it was the greater reason why the people'shotild now speak
openly. It had been said, that if Riego hid fallen in the
field, we should have heard nothing of this motion ;
.perimps this was true. -In his opinion, the circumstances
'nf-hisinurder were what justified the motion. A worthy
Baronet, (Sir Claudius Hunter) bad said the affairs of
• Spain aught to be buried in oblivion; hot be trusted that
'the niurder..of Riego would never be forgotten; and he
hoped the curses of all mankind upon his Murderers would
.ring in their eats until it is avenged. He had doubts of
lb* prudence of the measure:. but *sit sac brong44 rectum!.
'be should support it. He added that the Governors of the
landon Institution bad expressed their hearty concurrence
in the measure.
The Question was • then called for.—The Officer of
the Court read the Amendment, which wasAint- and
carried. Consequently the motion for
Serecting a monu-
ment was lost. "

in'fighting, a-rupture of the blood veesels in the head and

cause death. •
His LORDMIP charged the Jury, that the only question
for their coeeideration• was—whether manslaughter had
been committed ? At the present moment, when these
.fightliteye to common, it was important that society s!toald
e Ilretected against violent men—this case• however
was mast trivial, indeed he could hardly conceive one leis
so--Itlie provocation the ptisoner Rutland received was
*eat. 'The question therefore was—whether the • deceased
'died from the blow given him by' the prisoner Rutland.
'H the respectable High Sheriff csitting by his Lordship's
side) was to be struck a blow in his aide and fell doyen
deed, would it net be a fair conclusion that such blow had
occasioned his death? As to Hatton the law considered
'that be was equally guilty with Rutland, if they should to
