COIJIIT OF KINd'S BENCH, :TUNE 29.
SIR V. SURDETT, BART. V. EARL or MOIRA.-BMAI
V. CuLMAN, SEVEANT, &C. ••
'rhe ATTORNEy-G EN ER AL applied-for a TUN to
hew cause why these two actions should nut be
tried at bar. Both the actions were of the sa.-vel
tendency, he should therefore include them .Ifa the
same motion : one action was against the iSarl of
Moira, as IVardcii of the 'Power; inktke ether
against Mr. Colman, as Serjeant at grins ito• the:
blouse of Commons. It a iipear.:o4 that Sir Francis
Borden had been advised tv bring three actiOns,
in .conseenence of the prervedings of theaouse. of
t.Comm oo is against hint : —First ierainst :Speaker,, •
Of the House Of C;,,mmons, for honing issued (tl'
"it against and by virtue of which he had
heen cono'.;itteil to the Tower ; secondly against
Mr. C.aman, Serjeant at Arms to the House of '
Com:nuns, for having earned such writ into exc.
cyton., and thirdly, against the Earl of Moira,
'for Wing received his person into the Tower.
Ts the first action the Speaker had pleaded, that
Sir Francis had been, by the House of Commons,
adjudged guilty of a gross's libel on themselves, and
' for which they had determined 'that he should be
imprisoised in the Tower, and had firthred the
Speaker to Issue his • warrant accordingly ; and
Opt he, the Speaker, in porsuauce of .stich dime.
Weis, had issued his writ for the committal of Sir
Frans is Bitrilett, and had delivered it to the Ser.
jeant at Arms to the Hoes: for execution; and
which writ .had been executed accordingly. To I
that plea Sir Francis had demurred. The plea of
Ciiimant the Serjeaot at Arms was to tuliCh tha'
same effect as that of the Speaker,.except midi.
tin*, that be, the Serpent at Arms, had broken ,
open the doors of Sir Francis Burdett'; house, for
the lowliest:of olnainiug possession of his persons,
and thereby.eseceting the warrant. To this plea
Sir Francis had replied, Contending, that to ()b-
-lame entry into his house, an unnecessary and
un
usual degree, of , Violence deed been !rid recourse- to
.for the purpose of executing the writ,
thereby his family had been alarmed and.agitated
unnecessarily, and that he hail been cnntetell to
prison in a very unseemly uplifter. The Earl of,
Moira's plea was, that he, as Warden of the
Toner, had received Sir Francis Burdett by vir.
tue of the order from the House of Commons,
through the medium of their Speaker. To that
plea Sir Francis had also replied.. In his reply,
he acknowledged that the House of Commons was
at that time sitting, and that the persons who cum.
mitted hint weie Members of the House at that
time. Their Lordships could not fail to see that
the subject was one of the utmost importatice.
It involved two questions : first, as to the power
of the House of Commons to commit Members of
their own body for libels ; secondly, if they had
that power, low it should be carried into esecu.
It was most anxiously to be desired that the
subject should be disposed of to the satisfaction of
the king lent at large; and for that purpose,he
moved fur a rule to shew cause why the two ac-
tions, namely, that between Sir Francis Burdett
and the Serjeant at Arius, and that between him
Jim! the Earl of Moira, shoeld lint be tried at bar.
He should have noticed these actions Weiler, had
he not waited for Sir F. Burdett to reply to the
pleas in all the actions. Issue had bilni . joined in
two of the actions, and it was not till last night
that Sir Francis had given the Earl of Moira,nutice
of trial. The largest time had been allowed to
Sir Francis ; and it was ilpt until be, the Attorney
General, had ruled the lion. Baroiiet; that he had
replied.
Lord ELLENBOROUGII said,. that owing to the
advanced period of the term, it was impossible to
grant a rule fur the present; it must be fur.
chaclmas term.
After some explanation, the Court granted the
tide, so that it would be to shiny cause why the two
actions shoultruut be trim) at bar next Michael.

Highness against the demurrer which had been
entered against that right, the Defendants con.
tending that the Attorney.Gcuerai of the Duchy

of his Royal Highness, to institute the suit. He

these two parties; that Mr. Barker used to make
`secret and clandestine visirs to Mrs. Loveden dur-
ing the absence of her husband in the country ; that
they were seen tc, resort to a private plantation,4i-
tuated near de dwelling-house, where they wire
observed walking arm in arm together, and at
,!;sties with their arms round each other's -waists,
r and Mr. Barker kissing her. That particularly in
March 1809, whilst Mr. Loveden was again absent
from home, Mrs. Loveden was observed one night
to Jet Mr. Barker into the study, front whence
there was a communication, through the hall, to
Mrs. Loveden's bed-room upstairs ; and although
Mr. Barker was discovered tit be in the study the
next meriting, there were strung suspicions in the
minds of two of the witnesses, from the appear.
ante of Mrs. ',urethan's bed, (it being much tum-
bled) that two persons had lain therein. Seteral
other facts of secret and clandestine intercourses
were deposed to have taken place between them.
Where -were also several letters, written by Mrs.
Lovedeft, addressed to Mr. Barker, read; which
contained expressions of the most violeot and un-
limited attachment for this Mr. Barker. On be.
half of Mrs. Loveden no defensive plea was given g
but it woo contended by her Conusel,. that the
evidence (which was ci,.cumstautial only) did not

It appears that the secret distillation of spirits
has lately been practised to 'an extraordinary ex-
tent in Scotland. The Scotch papers contain nu.
nwrons accounts of persons detected in the private
manufacture of whiskey in different petit of the
country. Thu following account of atrial *.for
this offence discloses some curious particulars e—
blunday se'nnight, the trial of W.:Old 'earrioen
in the Court of Each-et/nor, in Edinburgh, on. the
charge of -having in. his possestion a still, fur the
purpose of manufacturing spirits without having
taken out a licence, 10iich subjected him to a
penalty 5001; ako for having a quantity of
wash, amountiag. to between 300 and 400 tolloni,
the penalty for which is 101. per galkii ; the libel
was, however, restricted to 100 gallons, the
nalty being 1,0001. do butte' these sums he was
found liable by the Jury.
The ingenuity displayed hy*Mr. OW in the eree.
tioa of this still, and in the concealment ot it, is
rather of a novel nature, and deserves to be made
public. The still was of very large dimens;ous,
nut less' than GO gallons, equal to many used in
Ow regular distilleries. Old's story is shunt'
this :—Sume time ago he met with a travelling
Irish tinker ; he called him into hie shop, which
Is situated in the High-street, at the back of the
Fountain Well, Edinburgh, and asked him if he
ever madasuch an instrument' as a still ? • The titan
told him that he could nut only make it, but Asa
it. Ho then made an appoinment to .mee
tinker in Charlotte-square, where ,he blindf et!
him, and carried him in a coach to his she he
then introduced bim into a cellar, by a try "i,
;in a dark room, through which he passed the
front to the back. shop ; this door was ne con-
',eealed by a small press, and the passage was so
tight, that a man .could scarcely pass through it.
Hera he provided his tinker with copper, who, in
a short time, constructed a still upon the most ap-
proved principles; after which he.again blindfold.
ed him, and si.t hie; adrift in a different quarter of
the town, How long this instrument was at -work,
did not appear on the trial ; but it is evident that
a very short time would enable the proprietor to
meet all expences, or pay any penalty he might
incur. For his spirits he found ready utarkct ; his
customers sent their servants with ready cash for
what they wanted—consequently no names ap-
peared, and he professed a total ignorance of who
they were.
Such was the ingenuity with which Mr. '014,110,
contrived to conceal his Operations, that Out Otfi.-
cers, even after receiving informationtobad the,
greatest difficulty in finding wit where tho
still eras
concealed.

The weak and. unstable Government of Sweden
is not the only ouc which yields implicit obedience
to the mandates of the French Government in mat-
ters relating to commerce. betters from Holland,
of the date of Sunday, state, that a French Con.
sul had arrived at Koningsberg, for the. purpose
of superintending the trade of that place.
An extraordinary attempt at suicide was made
yesterday morning by a ;slumber, -residing in
Crown.court, Liquorpond.street. As one of
Meux's drays was coming along She street, he
threw himself under the wheel, which passed over
his chest; the dray happening to be empty, he
was not killed upon the spol, but it is hardly
possible that he should survive the effects of his
rashness.
