• Monday , J We 25. House Oflords.-Diplo...
regretted that one of its provisions most unnecessarily and unjustly restricted the Catholic . He should endeavour in committee to modify that part of the bill , so that there should bo one form of oath foralh The Earl of "Wixchtlsea solemnly adjured their lordships not to pass the bill , which was dictated only by a spirit of infidelity too characteristic ot their legislation for the last twenty years , lest they should incur the awful condemnation of those who openly rejected the Messiah . The Duke of Argyll contended that the admission ofthe Jews would not affect the Christian character of the country or the Legislature . They could not secure the Christianity of any assembly hy the oaths imposed . The other House of
Parliament was not Christian in the hi gh sense of the word . Even anions their lordships they had no means of guaranteeing the realities of the " Christian faith and character . They might inherit the graces and piety of a "Wilberforce or the scepticism of a Boluigbroke . Having admitted to p arliament every sect of religious faith , and" every school of philosop hical opinion , some of which were essentially unchristian , such as the Unitarian , they could not maintain the disabilities affecting the Jews . Earl "Velson and the Earl of Desart opposed the bill , which was supported by the Earl of Wicklow . The Bishop of Oxford drew a wide distinction between admitting the Jews to social position and civil power by permitting them to administer the
law as magistrates , and giving them seats in the legislature to make . laws for a Christian Church and people , which , if true to their own profession , they could not do . There being no Jewish canstituendes . in this country , there was great danger in opening the doors of parliament to j , mere money power , apart from all other considerations . They could neither measure the interest which Jews had in seeking admission to the legislature , or the means they had at command to obtain seats in Parliament . If they destroyed the groundwork of Christianity upon which their legislation was based in order te gratify for a time a handful of ambitious men , they would destroy Christian England , and ruin the asylum of the scattered Jews .
Lord BnovGHAii ridiculed * the alarms of the Bishop of Oxford as the most extravagant of all chimeras . Having accorded to members of the Hebrew persuasion judicial functions , official station , and the elective franchise , with power to canvass and spend money at elections , it was absurd attempting to . draw an impassable line between those concessions and their admission to seats in the legislature . ,,., - The Earl of Gablisle having replied , their lordships divided— .

HOUSE OF COMJIOXS . — Poor Relief ( Irkxaxo Bill . —The House met at twelve o ' clock , went again into committee upon the Poor Belief ( Ireland ) Bill , and was engaged in the discussion of the first clau se until nearly four o ' clock , the hour ibr snspendimc its sitting , when an amendment proposed by Mr . " Sii ? FORD to increase the nwucimum rate from 5 s . to 7 s . was negatived on a division . The Speaker resumed the chair at half-past five , when Sir "W . MotESWOBTii moved an address to her Majesty to appoint a commission to inquire into the administration of onr colonial possessions , on the ground that there were grave defects and errors in our system of colonial government , -which required revision , for the purpose of a searching- inqmry
into the colonial policy of the empire Hchrst stated what in his opinion had produced the belief that such errors existed ,-their character and effects , and nrged that his motion should be agreed tons theleaitimate sequence to various motions which had received the approbation of a majority of that House—namely , those of Mr . Baillio , of Mr . Adderier , and , as he contended , of Lord Lincoln . These and other less successful propositions showed the state of public opinion respecting our colonial administration , and laid a valid Pailianientary ground for his motion . He then explained ^ the nature ofthe inquiry he proposed , and the objects to which it should be directed , classing them under three heads—namely , colonial government , colonial expenditure , " and emigration or colonisation . The
system he observed , worked il ' , not because It was ill-administered , but because it was so essentially faulty that it could not be well-administered . He censured no individual ; he censured the system , which must be thoroughly revised and reformed . Sir "William sketched out the scheme of a commission which , he suggested , should be composed of a member from each of the four great divisions of that House , with the addition of a fifth member selected from amongst the most eminent political had economical writers ofthe day . Mr . Heme seconded the motion , and inveighed against the general system and spirit of the colonial administration , which was managed too much with a "view to patronage , without regard to the capacity of governors or to the interests of the country .
Mr . Uawes opposed the scheme as an impracticable one , and protested against delegating the inquiry into great Imperial questions , which ought to be discussed in the House , to five gentlemen who , though of discordant political sentiments , were expected , when brought together , like a "happy family , " to f orego all their antipathies , lie maintained that Lord Grey had laid down larger principles of commercial policy than any other Colonial Secretary had done , and that Sir ' W . Molcsworth , whose speeeh was full of exaggerations , had laid no ground for his motion . He then proceeded to justify those parts of lord Grey ' s policy which had been assailed by Sir TV . Molcsworth , and with respect
even to the West Indies , said to be ruined by the "policy ofthe Colonial-office , Mr . Hawes showed that the success of the free trade policy was already manifesting itself . There were , no doubt , subjects of great importance affecting the interests of the colonies , which deserved consideration ; hut were all these ingredients—the effects ofthe abolition of slavery , the forms and the cost of colonial government , " waste lands—to he thrown into one common cauldron ? Such a comprehensive inquiry , which must involve the consideration whether or * not our colonial empire was worth retaining , would excite bopes and expectations which could not be realised , and paralyse a great executive department ofthe state . -
ilr . GuinsTOXE excepted to the terms of the motion , which scen . cd to contemplate a minute inquiry into the governments of the different colonies , and aU complaints and grievances there , and against the Colonial Department . But Sir W . Molcsworth did not propose to inquire into abuses of detail , or the conduct of individuals . Great , as he admitted , were the merits of Lord Grey , he had been led into serious errors which called for measures of prevention ; and , looking to the general scope and object ofthe motion , he thought the time had arrived when an-attcnipt should be made to improve our colonial system , founding his opinion , not upon one single consideration , but upon the joint result of many considerations . He obviated some of the objections offered by Mr . Hawcs to the appointment of
a commission to inquire info these subjects , which a Colonial Secretary , overburdened and distracted hy so many duties , had not sufficient time to consider as he ought ; and he believed that a eomniissien appointed by the Executive Government , and acting in harmony with that government , would afford it useful extraneous aid , and , so far from this being an extraordinary , it was a usual course and one followed in othir cases bv the present government . Mr . Gladstone adverted to various questions connected with important branches of our colonial policy which called for inquiry , and might be fitly investigated by a well-chosen commission , and he therefore supported the motion . Mr . Labotjchere opposed the motion , which was grounded upon a sweeping , ^ discriminate censure of the whole colonial policy of the empirealike
im-, politic and unjust . The three classes of subjects to which the inquiry of the . commission was to he directed comprised almost the whole circle of duties Belonging to the Government and Legislature with reference to the colonies . However convenient it might he to get rid " of responsibility hy shifting it Tipon a commission , he objested , as unconstitutional to delegate to a body of this descri ption functions which should be exercised upon their responsibility by Ministers of the . Grown . - He showed the distinction between a standing commission , contemplated by Sir W . Moleswortn , and commissions appointed for special and defined purposes , whose inquiries were of practical utility , whereas nothing could re sult from the former but disappointment . - The motion was supported by Jir . Scon and Mr . JiJM > EBtET . ¦ _
Lord J . RcssEti was at a loss to know what were the definite objects of the proposed commission , whose inquiries , m the terms of the motion , were so vast as to be beyond the power of any commission . It was an objection fatal to the whole scheme that , having such a " multiplicity of subjects to inquire into , the commissioners could not possibly arrive at any rational conclusion as to any , and if they attempted to carry on the . ordinary business of admimstnition for tho colonies , " they would interfere witn the functions ofthe executive government , and might open fresh" sources of complaint in the colonies- He showed that . an attempt to define the limits of
imperial and local questions might lead to di sputes , and that the adjustment of { he forms of H ? -Si .

• Monday , J We 25. House Oflords.-Diplo...
After a short reply from Sir TV . Molesworth , the House divided , when the motion was negatived by 163 against 89 . The other orders having been disposed of , the House adjourned at one o ' clock .
WEDNESDAY , Jcxb 27 . . HOUSE OF COMMONS— New Writ ron Loxnox . —On the motion of Mr . J . - £ - SM f > * n w writ was ordered for the City of Ixmdon , m the room of Baron Lionel do Kotfischlld , whohad accepted the Chiltera Hundreds . - ¦ Prisox Discipline . —The adjourned debate on Mr . C . Peabsox ' s motion on the subject of prison discipline wasresumed by _ Mr . Brothertox , who quoted statistical details showin ° - the great increase in the consumption of ardent spirits in the United Kingdom , contending that this was also the cause of the great increase in the amount of crime ; and till they struck at that all their efforts at improving prison discipline would
be unavailing . Such a consumption of intoxicating drinks was not necessary f or the sustenance of life , andif the higher classes would only set a good example by giving encouragement to the sober , a great expenditure of money on account of criminals might be saved to the country . Sir II . Halford defended the separate system as " curative "—one of the terms employed in the motion—the best proof of which was to be found in the fact that the number of prisoners had diminished wherever that system was established . The hon . baronet concluded by moving as an amendment , that a select committee be appointed to inquire into the system of prison discipline at _ present applied to prisoners nnder confinement in England and Wales .
, Mr . Fhewej supported the amendment . Mr . . alderman Sidxei thought the plan suggested by Mr . Pearson a speculative one , and considering the separate system the most beneficial , should vote for the amendment . Lord Mahon complained of the needless voluminousness of the piison returns , and suggested their curtailment . Considering the plan involved in the motion as pregnant wieh difficulties , he could not support the motion ; neither did he think the amendment , if adopted , however desirable inquiry might be , could be useful at this advanced period of the session . ' , Mr . B . Dexison spoke in favour of the separate system ; expressing his hope that the motion would meet with a direct negative , -and that the amendment would be withdrawn for the present session" ^ because no report worth reading could be made in less than two months .
Capt . Harris and Mr . Hubert Palmer bore testi-Inony to the advantages resulting from the separate system . . , Sir G . Gret expressed his gratification at the favonrable testimony which had been that day given to the system of solitary confinement , one which the best information confirmed , as combining more than any other the two great objects of deterring from crime and the reformation of the criminal . However desirable an inquiry into prison discipline might be , he thought it would not be attended with anyfavourable result to appoint a committee till next
session . . Mr . Hume contended that the present system was wholly futile for the purposes of reformation , and urged that the appointment of a committee ought to be the first act of the ensuing session , with a view to the prevention of crime . It would be found far less expensive in the long run to educate children than to prosecute and maintain grown criminals . Mr . Addebxey advocated the expediency of an entirely new system of classification of criminals , contending that at present there was no essential distinction between virtue and vice , education and punishment , nor between emigration and transportation . "
Sir . J . Walmslet expressed his entire concurrence in the necessity for the extension of education as a preventive of crime , and stated with referrence to juvenile delinquency , that in a gaol with wMch he was more particularly acquainted he had found from 300 to 100 boys and girls , of from eight to twelve years of age , brought in on successive charges from eight to ten times a year , a circumstance not to be wondered at when it was known that on their liberation they had no homes to go to but those ofthe infamous panderers to crime who
waited at the prison gates , on the expiration of then * imprisonment , for the purpose of giving them the only employment they could obtain , namely , in re-enacting the very crimes which had before led to their incarceration . The expense to the country of juvenile criminals , in their prosecution and imprisonment , until some more signal crime led to thentransportation , was infinitely greater than the cost of preparing them for a trade . Mr . Wodeuouse concurred in the expediency of extending education .
Sir J . Pakjxgtox , after the opinion expressed by Sir G . Grey , that inquiry was desirable by a committee , trusted that both motion and amendment would be withdrawn . Sir H . H alfokd withdrew his amendment ; and , after a reply from Mi . C . Peaesox , the motion was withdrawn also . Baxkrupi Axn Insolvent Members Bra . —The House then went into committee upon this bill , when . : Mr . Golvovrx suggested the expediency of- proceeding by resolution rather than by bill , which would subject the privileges of this House to the decision of the other House ; a suggestion which was strongly urged by Mi \ Wyss , and , after some conversation , the Ciiairmax was moved out of the chair , in order to afford time for considering the course to be pursued , which appeared not without difficulty . TnE Benefices rx Plcralitv Bill , which stood for second reading , was withdrawn at the suggestion of Sir G . Grey .
The Ge . yeral asb Quarter Sessions Bill passed through committee . Protection of Women Bill . —Mr . Spooner moved the second reading of this bill , the object of which he explained , observing that the bill had been prepared with great care by one of the chief legal authorities . Mr . Anstey opposed the bill , which was onesided , and whilst inoperative for good it would be productive of harm . He moved its rejection . Mr . IIume had always understood that the common law was sufficient for the protection of women ; why , therefore , was new legislation called for ?
The Attorney-General had no answer to give to this question , and he pointed out the defects of the bill , which he thought would weaken and relax the existing law . 3 fr . Spooner said , the great object of the bill was to put an end to the trade of procuring , which the common law could not do , and he professed his readiness to amend its defects in the committee . Mr . Ellis , Mr . Law , and Mr . Newdegatb , supported the bill . Sir G . Gbey said , his objections to the bill were so strong that , nnlesbe had a distinct assurance that they would be obviated in committee , he could npt support it . Mr . Sr-ooxEBgavehisassurancein the most distinct terms .
Up ^ n a division , Mr . Axstey ' s amendment was negatived by 130 against C The discussion upon the original motion was resumed after the division , and continued until the hour of six arrived , when the Si'eaker quitted the chair . * THURSDAY June 28 . HOUSE OT LORDS . —Trench Intervention in Rome . —The Earl of Ellenborocgh asked the government whether any communication had been received by it from the government of France , subsequent to its former communication , and in explanation of the " changed character" ofthe expedition to Rome .
The Marquis of Laxsdowxb observed , that no communication had been received by her Majesty ' s government . respecting what the noble . earl designated the changed character of the expedition in question . , . Lord Stanley wished' that the government would give some specific information to the House in reference to the matter . He was anxious to ascertain if , subsequently to the receipt of the communication having reference to the expedition first meditated , her Majesty ' s government had asked for or received any explanation of the motives of the Trench government in deviating so greatly from its former professions in the expedition recently sent into the Roman territory . The
Roman states had been occupied , and Home Uself was now bombarded , for no other reason than that the Roman people would not consent to the entrance of French troops into their city . ^ Such proceedings appeared to him to be wholly unjustifiable . 1 The Marquis of Laxsdowne replied that no formal demand had been made of an explanation from the Trench government . We understood the noble marquis to add that he would not say that the changed proceeding of the Trench government was not a legitimate subject of inquiry , or that inquiry had not been made . The Earl of Aberdeex then complained of-the very imperfect character of the information which had been laid upon the table .
The Encumbered Estates Bill was then read a third time and passed , with some amendments . HOUSE OF COMMONS , Poor Relief ( Ireland ) Bill . The House then went into committee on this bill , and the greater portion ofthe evening was consumed in the discussion of its clauses . - Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to . The lloose then resumed , ihe committee to git again on Friday at half-past four o ' clock . The other business on the paper was disposed of , Skid the House adjourned .
( From our Third Edition of lost week . J FRIDAY , June 22 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The report on the Irish Encumbered Estates Bill was brought up with
• Monday , J We 25. House Oflords.-Diplo...
amendments , and on the motion of Lord Campbell ordered to be reprinted , and to be . recommitted on Monday next . Affirmation Bill . —Lord Denjian then moved the second reading of the Affirmation Bill , the object of which was to extend to all non-jurors the liberty of affirmation at present enjoyed by Quakers and Moravians . A smart debate ensued , Lord Brougham , opposing the bill , in which course he was followed by the Earl of Wicklow and Lord Abikgeb , while the Duke of Argyll and Lord Campbell strenuouslsupported it . - . ..
y .. The bill was ultimately thrown out on a division , the numbers being—For the second reading 10 , against it SL Majority , 24 . . Thoir Lordships then adjourned . ^ HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The French Intervention in Rome . —Mr . Roebuck put a question , in order to ascertain from the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether any disapprobation had been expressed by the government ofthe proposed bombardment of Rome by the French . The hon . member made an interesting and powerful statement ofthe facts , and condemned in strong language
the proceedings ofthe Trench authorities . Ue called upon the Foreign Secretary , oh the part of England , to express his strongest reprobation of all that had occurred . . ¦ ¦ ,. Viscount Palmerston , after referring to the delicacy of his position , said emp hatically , and amid general cheering , that the government had witnessed the circumstances referred to with very deep regret ; England was no party to the transaction ; and we 1 » 1 strongly deprecated these unfortunate proceedings from the'first . ¦ The House then went into Committee op W ys and Means , when . ¦
The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to make his Financial statement . He commenced by saying that although not so favourable as it would have been had itbeen made earlier in the year , he trusted his statement would nob be wholly unsatisfactory to the country . The affairs ot the continent , the famine in Ireland , and the interruption of our trade with the Baltic , had all combined against us during the pastyear . He then referred to his . budget of last year . Tho actual revenue of the year , had : been less than he then anticipated , owing to an unexpected falling off in the receipts from stamps . His estimate ofthe expenditure for the past year had alscbeen
exceeded owing to paymentson account 01 insn aistrcss , and for an excess on naval expenditure . -On the whole , however , there had been an actual surplus of income over expenditure during the past year . He felt himself perfectly warranted in taking the ordinary sources of revenue for the ensuing year at quite as high a rate as in preceding years , v . There was an improvement in the manufacturing districts , money was easy , there was a good supply of bullion in the country , and he saw no reason whatever for anticipating any decline of our present prosperity . The right Son . gentleman concluded by putting a formal vote into the hands of the chairman of
committees . Various members addressed the committee in succession and o miscellaneous topics , after which the resolution was agreed to . The Transportation for Treason ( Ikblasi >; Bill Committee . —On the motion that . the Speaker do leave the chair , Mr . Moore addressed the House . He asked whether a parliament which had just sanction ed the principle of compensating rebels for treason m Canada , would sanction such a monstrous bill as this ? If the Crown had not the power to
transport Mr . Smith O'Brien now , ought that power 10 be conferred by ex post facto legislation ? It was a mistake to say that the object of the bill was to substitute mercy for rigour . In effect , it imposed transportation for imprisonment , a severer for tho lig hter punishment . The House having gone into committee , Mr . Anstey charged the Irish members with want of sincerity , unanimity , and "pluck , " in opposing this measure , and declaimed against it in violent language for upwards of an hour . He moved the omission of words in the first clause rendering the
bill a declaratory enactment . The Attorney-General and Sir G . GftET opposed the amendment ; which was supported by the Irish members and Mr . Muntz . The object was stated to be to pave the way for other amendments denuding the bill of its ex 2 > ost facto operation . The amendment was rejected by 151 to 27 . ; ¦ Mr . Reynolds moved another amendment , with a view to remove the retrospective operation of the
bill . This amendment was also rejected , the numbers being 140 to 24 . A third amendment of Mr . Anstey was also rejected on a division . The bill then passed through commitee , and the third reading was fixed for Monday next , and the House adjourned .

^ Tex-DUKe " OF BRUNSWICK v . THE THD WEEKLY DISPATCH . — ~~
¦ COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH , Tuesday , June 20 . The cx-Dukc of Brunswick said , this was an action broug ht by himself against the proprietor of the meS pat / h newspape ? , to recover damages fm ISesSbels p ublished in that paper Respecting him elf ? om th !> year 1830 down to the present time This was not the first occasion on which _ he S wme into an English court of jus ice in order ? o vind cate his character from libellous imputetions and he had already been successful in putting which had made him the object of their attacKs . 5 S HiJhness then proceeded to read at length the libellous articles of which he now complained one of which published in the Dispatch on the 26 th of
, September , 1847 , described him as the Duke of BrunsUk who had been dismissed by Ins outraged and indignant subjects ; and another , published on October 3 rd , 1847 , spoke of George IV . as having enough of his own crimes to answer for without answerfng for those of the Duke of Brunswick . The libel on which the plaintiff appeared most to rel y and which he contended showed the animus of the later libels , was an article published in tlwyear 1830 giving an account of the causes which led to the revolution by which the inhabitants of Brunswick expelled the reigning Duke , tho present p laintiff , and substituted his brother in his place . In that article he was described as a " . wretch who had exhausted the patience of his subjects , and as guilty of sort of robbery and fraud , and
'' every one supposed to be . capable of any crime ; and it concluded with expressing a hope that the Holy Alliance would not interfere to reinstate " such a monster . " He ( the Duke of Brunswickjunderstood that the defendant meant to-day to justify these publications on the ground that they were comments Upon a public character , but that argument was untenable , for public men were liable to be exposed to hatred by libellous attacks upon their political as well as upon their private conduct . Such attacks , also , were especially calculated to expose their persons to danger . His Highness then read several letters which he had caused to be written to the defendant , expostulating with him on his conduct , the
only result of which was the publication of other articles which the . plaintiff also complained of as libellous . Evidence was then given of . the publication ofthe several libels , one of which , originally published in 1830 , was republished , by the defendant only a short time since , by being sold to a pei'SOn sent to the Dispatch office by the plaintiff , to purchase the paper . A copy of the number required could not be found on the first day when the party called , but the people at the office having made diligent search found one the day following , when the messenger of the Duke of Brunswick again called , by appointment . The publication and proprietorship of the paper were then proved , ; vhich completed the plaintiff ' s
case Sir F . Thestger addressed the court for the defence . The case was a remarkable one , for it began with a charge of libel , alleged to have been published so far back as 1830—nineteen years ago . Probably the nerson who penned the article was dead . Indeed " , the duke ' s course was not a little remarkable . He said "It is true that from 1830 down to 1847 nothing appeared in the columns of the Weekly Dispatch of which I have a ri g ht to complain , but in the year 1847 I find the words ' outraged arid indignant subjects . ' . In 1848 I find the words ' ruthlessly hurled from his throne . ' " He ( Sir Frederick Thesiger ) found in the same paper that it was stated that other exiles had favoured
this land with their presence ; but the ingenious way in which the publication of 1830 was made to speak , at the present day , since it was raised as the means of making out the publication of 1847 and 1848 , this was the most remarkable mode of making a person accountable for libel that he had ever heard in a court of justice . If the action stood merely upon the articles of 1847 and 1848 there would be no pretence for alleging that they were libels , so that it was only by mating them point to what had appeared in 1830 , and making it interpret what had been published in tho latter years that the duke could seek damages at their hands . But he thought if they were to consider the article of 1830 as making part of this inquiry they would be much
mistaken , since the question they would have to decide would be one of a very different character . They would have to say whether a journalist was or was not entitled to discuss matters of public and general importance . He asserted and vindicated the right of the public-press—a right to attack the public characters of public men , and to express its strong and honest opinion upon all public events . They were matters of history upon which every man had a right to form , and to express his independent opinion in this free country ; and he would venture to say , that if they looked , carefully into the columns of the newspapers that were presented to their notice , they would see nothing but remarks upon tho public conduct and public character of the
duke , winch he asserted , the public press of this country had a right to animadvert upon in any terms , however strong , provided they were satisfied that it was not done with any private malice or with the view of assailing his private reputation through the medium of his public one , Now , the events with which the Duke of Brunswick was mixed up were events of great public and political importance , and had become , therefore , part of the common property of the history of Europe . It was perfectly clear , from the letter of Mr . Oddy , which had been put in , that ho was compelled to leave his country , as a revolution took place there , that his palace was set on fire , and that he was obliged to escape ; that his brother was now seated upon the throne
from which this journal asserted he had been driven . Tlie public journalist took different historical events into his consideration , and expressed his opinion how revolutions wore effected of an unexpected character , and his opinions upon those who were the principal actors in them . If tho proprietors of the Weekly Dispatch believed that the Duke of Brunswick had acted tho part of a traitor , that he had excited the disgust and hatred of his subjects , that they rose indignantly against his oppression , that they hurried him f rom the throne , was there anything in the constitution of this country or in law , as applicable to the press of tliis country , which could restrain the expresssion Of those opinions and feelings which he might think proper to express upon the
occurrence ofsuch events ? The learned gentleman then enumerated the attacks which had been made by the press of this country on Louis Philippe , Charles Albert , & c . He now came to the real question between the plaintiff and the defendant , and tho liberty of the press in this country . He denied that the defendant had published any attack whatever on the private character ofthe duke . The duke , by his secretary , said he was not sent away —that he left voluntarily , and that his subjects in order to show their regret made a bonfire of his palace . But the Weekly Dispatch took a different view—it thought and said that this palace was not set on fire in order to light a beacon to guide him on his jury . But the duke , in his secretary ' s letter ,
had libelled and slandered the dead and living relatives of the dead , saying that George IV . had enough of sins of his own to answer for without taking the additional wei g ht of his ( the Duke of Brunswick ' s . ) The duke knew that the letter could not bo produced in evidence , baing written to the editor or the paper . - He therefore commenced his action , and made the purchase of the very paper in which the letter bad appeared , the ground of his proceedings . Such a course was unworthy and ungenerous . They could have no doubt that this action was brought in order that the letter assailing the character of the living and the dead should be produced—otherwise wiry was the matter allowed to slumber for nineteen years . He contended
that the editor of the Diq > atch could not be held hablo for a publication of a letter of the plaintiff ' s . A letter sent to a private individual could not . be hold a publication unless sent with the view of committing a breach of the peace . What was the argument used ? Why , because the articles of 1847 and 1848 contained the very common word "outrage , " which also occurred in the article of 1830 , that the writer O the latter articles must have ha d the former letter in his mind . Such was tho slender foundatum upon which this superstructure was based . lho : alleged libel likened the plaintiff to the " village despot" and » common pelted sove-s reign , the Duke of Lucca . But the Duke of
Lucca had not thought proper to bring an action . It went on to say that the plaintiff carried off his jewels , and it must be said that such an act was one of a private rather than of a public nature , and therefore it was a libel , but , with Dogberry he might say ,. " Comparisons are odious ' ' Then another of the alleged libels consisted in a long article , m which the name of the plaintiff was not mentioned , except that he was " driven from his throne by his outraged and indignant subjects . " The Duke said he was not . The Weekly Dispatch said he was . They wore not there to try tho merits ofthe revolution in Brunswick , whether the Duke was driven away for his misrule bv the
popular indignation , but they had to say whether a public journal had aright to remark upon public objects and whether it had a right to assert its views tor the benefit of those to whom the publication was addressed . But if they fettered the press m the expression of its judgment on matters of this kind , the ^ liberty of the press must bo at an end He ( Sir F . Thesiger held that the plaintiff was a fan- object of criticism , and that tho SSfcft had acted properly in what it had done .

That statement was true , and it was a proud thing for this country that such a statement could truly be made respecting it . It was , however , the duty of journalists not to attack those persons who sought refuge in this haven of repose , by accusing them of crimes which , if true , ought to subject them to punishment . His lordship then left it to the jury to say whether the publications were libellous ; and , if so , what amount of damages the plaintiff was entitled to . Tho Jury retired , and , on their return into court , gave a verdict for the plaintiff , with £ 500 damages .

-oiitjEi .. — . oumes x . uwarus , a managing clerk in the service of a wholesale glass manufacturing firm in Chiswell-street , appeared , upon remand , to answer the charge of having grossly insulted several ladies residing at Hackney and Dalston . —About eight o ' clock in the evening of Tuesday se ' nnight , Holland , the warrant officer , was proceeding ' through a secluded lane leading to Hackney-grovo , when his attention was attracted by loud screams and cries of "Police , " and upon hastening to the spot he found two ladies in such a state of distressing agitation that they were unable to speak to him ; a maid servant , however , who
accompanied them informed him that a person in the dress of a gentleman had shamefully misconducted himself towards them , and having pointed out the path he had taken , the officer started in the same direction , but had only gone a short distance when he met two other ladies , who complained that they had been subjected to similar indecency . Observing the prisoner at tho same moment proceeding leisurely along an adjoining pathway , the officer called upon him to stop , on which the prisoner instantly took to fli ght , but after a sharp and protracted pursuit he was overtaken and secured , when the disordered appearance of his dress presented incontestible evidence in confirmation of the charge . He was perfectly sober at the time he was taken .
Holland intimated that ho had experienced great difficulty in inducing the ladies who had been so insulted to come forward in support of such a case , but had suceeded ultimately in securing the attendance of two of them , who felt that they were performing a public duty , and protecting their own sex by appearing to prosecute .-Two respectable female witnesses were then called , and deposed that the prisoner had not only acted with the grossest indelicacy to themselves and three ladies whom he had separately followed for the purpose , but had pursued the same disgusting conduct towards a little girl six years of age , and afterwards followed a fourth lady , whom he personally assaulted in the most infamous manner . —Mr . Heritage , who appeared for the defence , cross-examined the witnesses with a view to show that they wore altoirethcr
incorrect in the opinions they had formed with regard to his client ' s conduce and intentions ; but they both denied that such was the case , and persisted in their original statement . —Mr . Arnold considered that the case had been clearly established , and sentenced the prisoner to be committed for three months to the House of Correction , as a rogue and vagabond ; at tho expiration of which he was required to put in substantial bail for his good behaviour for the further term of six months . —Upon hearing the sentence the prisoner became greatly agitated , and entreated the magistrate to direct his officers to afford protection to his wife , to whom he had been only recently married , and who was so painfully affected at the degraded position in which he was placed , that unless some means were adopted for her safety , he felt satisfied she would destroy herself .
Ruffianly Conduct of a Soldier . —T . Shoesmith , a private in the 1 st Life Guards , was charged with being drunk , ne » bcting to pay a cab fare , committing two violent assaults , and resisting the police in the execution of their duty . —E ward Dobson , an elderly man afflicted wiih deafness , stated that the prisoner got into his cab on the previous ni ght near the Lying-in Hospital , Old-street Road , and ordered him to drive to the t » p of Sloane- street , Knightsbridge . On arriving there the defendant , who was very drunk , was asleep ; and complainant having succeeded in waking him , he alighted , when complainant demanded his fare , 2 s . 8 d . Defendant walked away towards Brompton , when complainant followed and repeated his demand . Defendant replied , " I'll pay you in a minute , " and suddenly turning round , struck complainant a violent blow in the mouth , which nearly knocked out all his teeth . Defendant made a second blow at himbut he
for-, tunately succeeded in avoiding it . A , number of persons came round , and he gave the defendant into custody .-Joseph Fowkes , 203 B , stated that on his taking the defendant . into custody , he struck him violentl y in the chest . He was drunk , and made so desperate a resistance that it required seven or eight other constables to convey him to the station-house . —Defendant at first said that he paid the driver half-a-crpwn before he got out of the cab . but he afterwards stated that he paid him « s he was getting out . He was drunk , but he cou'dh't believe thathf struck an old man like the cab-driver ; he must have pushed him or something of that sort Wr . Burrell observed that the defendant ' s conduct had been most violent , and ordered him to pay a fine of 45 , or becommitted for two months for the assault on the cabman , and in addition sentenced him to a month ' s imprisonment for the assault upon the constable . .

When the omnibus . reached the Bank some of the - passengers got out , but Mr .
