The Sun. — 1841-07-03 (London, England)

LONDON. 14th June, 1841. am not unwilling to believe that the intelligence transmitted to me from Paris concerning yourself, consists of reports destitute of foundation ; and, prior to my embarking in any course with a view to obtain justice, as to the articles which are attributed to you, it is, my wish to make application to you for your own admission, or disclaimer. I have in no way to trouble myself with the motives of your silence re • specting the letters, not by any means attributed to, but most positively in the own handwriting of Louis Philippe, as an emigrant and a King. I pay for and read your Paper without busying myself any further with it ; but what I owe to myself, Sir, is to ascertain whether you are or are not the author of the articles in the Morning Post of Jan. 20, and in the Times of May 31. Concerning these letters, a mere written disclaimer of your part will be deemed sufficient by me ; but in case that that should not be forthcoming the author being sufficiently pointed out' by your silence, I am, Sir, under the necessity of informing you, that prior to my applying for a remedy to the slow operation of legal proceedings, I shall appeal for support to the daily publicity which both the English and the French press will afford me, in order to mark you out, and prove you to be a base and cowardly calumniator, a man sold over and over again, a venal pen, in short, hired by the French Police, iSw., a detertniFlA and extreme course, which I sincerely trust  may be saved the necessity of adopting, by your early, very early reply. I remain, Sir, yours, obediently, The Editor of the Courier de l'Europe having inserted my letter in his number of the 12th instant ( No. 54), but without any satisfactory reply, I here repeat what I have said, that my letter having remained unanswered, he is, in my estimation, most positively a dastardly, vile calumniator, a man sold over and over again, with his mercenary pen, to the French police, and that from this very day measures are efficiently going to be taken by me, legally to compel the Morning Post and the Times to give up the names of those correspondents who have supplied them with these base and calumnious articles, with which they have disgraced their columns. LA CONTEMPORAINE, Responsible Authors of these Articles. 24, Tuubridge-place, New-road.  son of an extensive Gardan T,htuhray, at the Sessions, esd THE LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK UPON A for EGre , upholsterer in High-street, Epsom; George Ecks, tile-maker, rrg3et.—On James Phipps, and John Ratcliffe, recruits in the 89th Foot; hAelPdoatticLausitfrr and Charles Fetcher, labourer, were indicted for a riot, and assaulting and wounding Joseph Russell, police constable 269 V. The circumstances of the ease must be fresh in the recollection of our readers. After a very long examination, in which the constable and his witnesses were severely crossexamined, the Chairman charged the Jury, and they returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. The sentence of the Court was, that Gardan was to be confined in the House of Correction for twelve months and hard labour, and the others nine months each with hard labour. . . At Winchester assizes, in 1763, a soldier obtained 3001. damages against his officers for his having been flogged without just cause. Had the punishment taken place on the Sabbath it would. have aggravated the offence, and the man would probably have. got, greater damages.
