only beatd.
SIR G. PAGE TURNER.
Mr. House stated. thst he had an application to submit
• itart4ltls case, on behalf of Sir G. P. Turner, who had bean
. 011isionnced a Lando by a Jery, under a Commission de
• imelitico inquireado. The Solicitor now employed by the
imdatic was not the same Gentleman who attended profes-
iodine on a former occasion. It was the intention of Sir
G. P. Turner to traverse the finding of the Jury under the
Commission, and it was desirable that some early dayshould
be fixed for bearing the einestion.—The Loan CHASM;
i4R said, that he could net prevent Sir 0. P. Turner from
changing hie SoliCitor, nor could be restrain any proceed-
ings which might be taken to traverse the finding of the
Jury. Perhaps the best course which could be pursued'
would be to present a petition, praying that the lunatic
aright traverse the finding of the Jury. His Lordship at
the same time intimated, that the evidence upon which the
verdict had beenpronounced war tolerably conclusive.—
] t was understoodp that Monday neat was fixed for hearing

this petition.
DAVID GARRICK V. CHARM{ KARL CAMDEN.
" In this matter, Mr. HART moved, that Mr. Hugh Bayley
be ordered to transfer to the name of the Accountant-Ge-
neral 4,070/. under these circninstances. Mrs. Payne was
entitled under the will of Peter Garrick, to a proportion of
the fund which was made chargeable with the annuity of
Mrs. Garrick at her death. Mr. Bayley, as the personal
representative of Peter Garrick, thought proper to have
the transfer of the property made in his own name, and
tberefore Mrs. Payne could not Obtain the benefit of it.
Mr. PRIM said, that Mr. Bayley, as the trustee of the
fund, found it necessary to place it under his own protec-
tion, and act with great circumspection. The interest
which Mr. Payne had in the fund, was already assigned by
deeds to other parties, and as it was a question of difficulty
to whom the interest would be appropriated, he would wait
the determination of the Court.
The case will be resumed to-morrow.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WEITMINSTERi JAN. 23

This being being the first day of Hilary term, the Judges took
their seats on the bench at one o'clock.
THE KING ON THE PROSECUTION OF TIIK BISHOP OF ZXETER,
Y. " Tilt REAL JOHN BULL."
Mr. SCARCITY moved for a rule to show cause why a
criminal information should not be exhibited against the
printer and proprietor of The Real John Bull, for a libellous
paragraph reflecting on the Bishop of Exeter. It would
be proper that he should state the circumstances not of
which the groundless imputations on the character of the
Bishop arose. His Lordship received application from the
parishioners of the parish of North finish, in Devonshire,
complaining of the non-residence of the incumbent. He
accordingly took measures for prevailing on the reverend
gentleman to return to his core, but without success. While
these measures were pending, be received an •anonymous
letter in a fem 'le hand, and afterwards a woman intruded
herself iota his presence, and made certain statements re-
apt sting the conduct of the rector. The Bishop, in conse-
quence of the information thus obtained, thought it neces-
sary to make inquiries; and, in the result, thought it right
to instittre proceedings in the Ecclesiastical eotirt, to de-
prive the incumbent of his becetiee, which terminate': in
a sentence of deprivation. At this time the libel in qtrestion
appeared under the head of" The Bishop of Ex ter." The.
learned counsel then read the libel, which impaled Nate
Bishop that he had been induced to prosecute by a istf4m-
pet, who was seen hanging on his arm at the last visitation,
of his diocese, and that he sat in judgment on his cause.
To this the Bishop answered on oath, that he never saw
this woman, except on the occasion which he had stated;
that the whole calumny-respecting her was false ; and that,
though present in Court when sentence was passed, he
took no share in it, and only appeared because he was in-
formed by hitlegil advisers, that his attendance was ri-:(
quiaite iwpoint of form. 1
The Coca'r asked what proof there was of the connexion 1
of the defendants with the paper ?

affidavit at the .Stamp-office.
