This morning The defendant in this
case, was brought up to receive The jndg-
ment Of The Court, for sending a chai
Icpge to Lord Siduouih, of which he
was convicted at the Sittings after last
Term.
The Attorney General was in his place,
and moved The judgment of the Court.
The defendant then addressed iheir
LordstipS III the following terns:-
After NY trial, my Lords,a trial with
out any witnesses on my pant, | consider
ed II duty due 10 the public, as well as
TO myself, 10 protest against any SEN
tence being passed upon me- l have

cerated, and have been in-an i'll state Of
health during tie whole time. | think
my Lord Sidmouth declared that ne had
no wish TO pursue ME vindictiveis, ard
thai lie only brought the case forward
tor lils own personal safety. He is per-
iectiy safe, can assure him, and my
wiring that letter Tad nothing 10 do
with my being apprehended for high
treason. J! was relative 10 & 1870 have

exceeding heavy aud great, that not a sin
gle person has offered TO become secu-
rIiy tor mc-and if am to rcmain IN

bail"
The Attorney General then shortly adj
dressed their Lo:dshps, remarking that
The crime of which tie defendant had been
convicted, was no small ome: and his at
tack upon Lord Sidmouth, was one, 10
which every Magistrate might be open
when discharging the important functions
OF his situation, ii a proper example we're
not made. He, however, only asked for
that punishment which Justice called for,
and The pablo peace demanded.
Their Lordstips then consulted for
short time, and Mr.. Justice Bayley de-
livered the sentence of the Court in these
terms: "Arthur Thistlewood, you are
here 10 receive The sentence of the court
after conviction upon an indictment for
