CRIMtINAL ISF0R'oluATTION. 31r.

A person named Jones, a ipkeeper in the town, in last March left his house to the care of a feMrnle s-rzran! while he went on a journey. During his ab- seace. his wife named .Martlha Jones, who had separated from hin S~r ma,v years. d.emand- d admiiosn, which! wasrefuised.

The serrant, thus expelled, took r.tfrrge at an inn; but they pursued Frrthither, and forced her into the street during a snow-storm. 3e-cs her macter afterwva. ds executed a power of attorney to enable her rore-zain possesion, under whichlshc entered, and expelled thc wife.

The Times, 1824-07-07T00:00:00

The Irish papers are, as usual on any unexpected occa- sion, running wild about a motion of the ATTORNEY-GE- NERAL, who has moved the King's Bench for an information against Mr. GABBE3TT, a magistrate of Enniskillen, who appears to have indeed eut-Heroled the most extravagant of his Orange associates, as a minister of public justice. The Irish newspapers, we say, are wild with joy. So they were on the KING'S visitso they were on that other hum- bug, the information filed by M-Jr. PLUNKEIT against the bottleman and rattleman, about the beginning of last year. This GABBETT, as it appears, if the facts stated be true, had acted on a spirit of gross party and personal ven- geance against two men who were Catholics, and innocent of any crime; committing them to prison- detaining t-hem tihere-recommitting thlem-fabricating a charge, and antedating it, in order to imprison two inno- cent men. We say this appears to be the case, because Mr. BLAcKBuRNE reported it-Mr. PLUNKETT movedl the Court upon it-and the Judgesbelieved itso far, as to grant against this Magistrate the rule required. All this is very horrible; and what is worse, tue perpetrator of the tyranny may, notwithstanding the exertions of the public officers, and the trial by jury, escape without punishment; nay, with all that barbarous and intolerable triumph which constitutes the " honours" of civil war. A Fermanagh jury, it is acknowledged by the Court of King's Bench, can- not be trusted' a Dublin jury, we know by experiefice, cannot. Where can the Irish look for justice, when the most effective arms of the constitution are turned against itself? Should this Orange-Magistrate be found guilty and chastised, then we may permit the Dublia Evening Post to sing its lo Pawns in security.

We beg to call attention to the present situttion of tbe holders of 5 per Cent. Stock of 1797-a portion of the well- known " Loyalty Loan," raiged in the commlencement of that year. The question turns on the eous.,Ti.u6tion of the act of Parliament,, by vyhich cerji privileges are under- stood to be conferred en 'tne holders, but wbhicl does not elearly dlefine the nnode according to wvhich those privileges are to be clairned or exercised. This stock is irredeemable, unless with the consent of the propiietors, until three years after the other 5 per cents. existing at the time the Loyalty Loan was rrade, should be paid off. (The redemiaption of the S per cents. took place in July, 1822; and it follows, thereforc, that the holders of the 5 per cenits. of 1797 may be paid, ofF at par in July, 182b.) But as a good deal of patriotiG feeling was held to be connected with this loan, a still further privilege was conferred onl the siubscribers, which was, that in two years after a definitive treaty of peace, they, the holders, ahould be entitled to de- `m1and ofGovernmeiit, either payment at par in. moniey, or 1331. 6s. 8d. in S per cent. stock (equivalent to buying 3 per cents, at' 6); for every 1001. .5 per. cents. of 1797.

The Times, 1824-10-30T00:00:00

The Frenchl journals convey to us another sanguinary Decree by the King of SPAIN. In this production, His Ma- jestyspecifies a variety of new cases of high treason, in which cases the punishment of death, also, by a military commis- sion (and this is no bug-bear in Spain), is denounced against the offenders. The flrst Article comprises in the list of traitors, and subjects to death, '- all those who, ' since October, 1823, have declared or proved themselves " enemies to the legitimate tights of the throne, or parti- " sans of the self-styled Constitution of Cadiz." Now the boundary of the "' legitimate rights" of the throne being, always with us matter of dispute, it is probable that could such a decree as that en which we are speaking pass in England, it would render liable to the punishment of death all the *Yhigs, and some part, alss, of the more moderate Tories. Article the 9th would comprise all the Dissenters in this country, and render them liable. to suffer death, with confiscation of property. As a Spanish Freemason differs from one bearing the same appellation in England, it is probable that the decree would only direct an English Freemason to be hanged with his rule aud compasses about his neck, and suffer the rest of his property to descend to his heirs. This, however, is a sweeping and shocking decree; and most sincerely do we wish to see justice done on the guilty. Crimes eannot be said to prosper in Spain, for we have no doubt the chief author of them is more miserable than his victims; but still they are endured. The KING is said to have augmented his guard by three companies of horse artillery, anmounting in the whole to 270 men, with 20 pieces of cannon. These will serve to per- form, or at least help to perform, the military execution dlenounced by the dlecree against traitors. We observe that the Spanishl papers, wheni speaking of the late Kingof FnANCI and his obsequies, call him the " August Chief of the Royal House !" Why is the King of FRtANCE called chief rather than the King of SPAIN? They are both descended from Louis XIV. If the King of FaaNcE be cihief, then would Spain, as belonging to an iiiferiol person, be but an appanage of Francec.

Advices were received yesterday from Sierra Leonie, dated the 31st of May, by the Circus, D EAN, arrived at Plymouth in 39 days from that colony. A vessel had arrived on the previous d-y from Cape Coast Castle, bringing accounts of the 9th of May, at which time the British were lhard pressed by the Ashantees, and an engagement was very shortly expected to take place. The Ashantee army, which was said to be 20,000 strong, had advanced to Conmerda, within ls miles of Cape Coast Castle. Of the meaus ot. the British Commander to resist so formidable a force, we are very imperfectly informed. Major CHISHOit'S corps con- sisted of about 4,000 Fantees; but that of Captain BLEN- icAANE is not stated. No apprebensions existed, however, of an attack upen the Castle, which mounts 100 guns, ^nd is quite proof against any attack from such an enemy. There are, besides, martello-towers upon two hills, com- manding the approaches on the land side to the Castle, mounted with S21b. carronades. Still the colony at large wzas il the most melancholy unprotected state possible, and all business of course wholly suspended. Reports were current at 8ierra Leone df three attacks on the British by the Ashantees, in which the latter gained the advantage, subsequesit to that most fatal one in which Sir C. M'ARTHY perished; but no details are given.

The Times, 1824-11-05T00:00:00

A foolish outcry is now raised against this paper, because we do not coine forward to reply to an injudicious challenge of persons who fancy themselves to be friendsofMr. FA U N T- I.EBOY. As faras we are personally concerned, we are very little disturbed by the gabbling of these unwise persons. But it may, perhaps, be worthy of remark, as a curiosity in the history of human opinion, that the same identical article which is now quoted as a cruel attack upou thecha- racter of Nlr,FAu;TLsaRoY,Wvas at first denouinced in themost unmeasured terms as a maudlin anid even unprincipled at. tempt to excite compassion for a criminal whose conduct ought, it was said, to have be3n described in terms of un- mitigated reprobation. We certainly are not simple enough to hope to please every body; nor are we very much move(d when we finm that our impartiality in any 'matter of im- portant litigation fails to please cither of the parties in- terested. In all such cases we are content to wait till the ternporary fervor has abated, and till the truth of thc facts shall vindic.te the honesty of our motives. So we fecl at present: we will not siffer the intemperance [of self-called friends to prevoke us to say one word which may weaken the efFect of the eloquent appeal of a man struggling for his life. Nay, more: we have no hesi.: tation in expressing a mnost earnest wish, that the Privy Council will not decide on the case of Mr. FAUNTLEnOY without calling upon his partners to state, on oath, wvlether .ius accusation against them be ,vell or ill-foundet. If such all inivestigationi shall appear' to exceed the powers vested in the Cotuncil, let us hope that- the. REcORD- En's report will not be made till the sworn exami- nation of the partners before the commnissioni of bankruptcy shall nianifest the real state of the case. We knowv, and every infant in the practice of the courts of law must know, that the legal guilt of the case is not altered one jot by the most perfect proof of every item of such a defence as MNIr. FAUNTLEROY set up: yet if the moral guilt is diminislhed by the proof of such a statement, it is fitting that an opportunity should be allowed for the ad- mission of suchl proof where only it can be admitted, not for the purpose of alurhwg the verdict, but of mitigating the severity of tile punishiment.
