Monday, June 25. House Of Lords.-Dipioma...
regretted that one of its provisions niost unnecessarily and unjustly restricted the Catholic . He sboul'l endeavour in committee to modify that part of the bill , so that there should be one form of oath fbrnll . The _Eai * _l of "WrxcmxsEA solemnly adjured their Ion-ships not to pass the bill , which was dictated only by a spirit of infidelity too characteristic ot their legislation for tlie last twenty years , lest they shonld incur the awful condemnation of those who openly rejected the Messiah . The Duke of _Amboj . contended that the admission of the Jews would not affect the Christian character of the country or the Legislature . They could not secure the Christianity of any assembly by the oaths imposed . The other House of Parlia
ment was not Christian in the high sense of the -word . Even _amon- _; their lordships they had no means of guaranteeing the realities ofthe Christian faith and character . ' They might inherit the graces and piety of a "Wilberforce or the scepticism of a Bolojgbrofce . Having admitted to parliament every sect of religious faith , and every school of philosophical opinion , some of which were essentially unchristian , such as the Unitarian , they could not maintain the disabilities affecting the Jews . Iarl 5 J _* exso _* s and the Earl of Desart opposed the Ml , which was supported by the Earl of Yvicklow . The Bishop of Oxforo drew a wide distinction between admitting the Jews to social position and civil power by _pennittinjs- them to administer the
law as magistrates , and _giving them seats in the legislature to make laws for a Christian Church and peo p le , which , if true to their own profession , they could not do . There being so Jewish _constituencies in this country , there was great danger in opening * tbe doors of parliament to a mere money power , apart from all other considerations . They could _aeitber 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 _BaoranAM ridiculed "the alarms of the Bishop of Oxford as thc most extravagant of all chimeras . Having accorded to members ofthe Hebrew persuasion judicial / unctions , 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 . Tbe Earl of CuaisM having replied , their lordships divided—Content 7 0 Rot-content ... ... 95 Majority against the bill ... —25 Their lordships then adjourned .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . — Poor Beuef ( _Ibeuxn Bill . —The House met at twelve o ' clock , went _again into committee npon the Poor Belief { Ireland " ) Bill , and was _engaged in the discussion of the first chiuse until nearly four o ' clock , the hour for suspending its sitting , when an amendment proposed by Mr . " Stafford to increase themaximum Tate from os . to 7 s . -was negatived on a division . The Speaker resumed the chair at half-past five , * whea Sir W . Moleswobth moved an address to her
Majesty to appoint a commission to inquire into the administration of our 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 inquiry into the colonial policy of the empire . He f irst stated what in his opinion had produced the belief that such errors existed , their cha r a cter a nd eff e cts , and urged that his motion should be agreed to as the legitimate sequence to various motions which had received the approbation of a majority ofthat House—namely , those of Mr . Baillie , ' of Air . Adderley , 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 _Pailiamentary ground for his motion . He then explained the nature of the in q uir y he p ropo s e d , and the objects to "which it shonld 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 wassoesseniaaBy faulty tbat 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 ofa
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 . HraiE seconded the motion , and inveighed against tbe general system and spirit of the colonial administration , which was managed too much -with a view to patronage , without regar d to the capacity of governors or to the interests ef the country . Mr . Hawes 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 forego all their antipathies . He maintamed that Lord Grey had laid down larger principles of commercial policy than any other Colonial Secretary bad done , and tbat Sir W . Molesworth , -whose speech was fuU 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 W . Molesworth , and with respect even to the "West Indies , said to be ruined by the policy ofthe Colonial-office , Mi ' . Hawes showed that
the success of the free trade policj * was already manifesting itself . There were , no doubt , subjects of great importance affecting the interests of the colonies , which deserve d cons id eration ; b ut w e re all these ingredients—the effects ofthe abolition of slavery , the forms andthe cost of colonial government , waste lands—to he thrown into one common cauldron ? Such a comprehensive inquiry , wliich must iqiolve the consideration whether or not our _coloniaTeinpire was worth retaining , would excite hopes and expectations which could not be realised , and paralyse a great executive department of the state .
Mr . Gladstone excepted to the terms of the motion , which seemed to contemplate a minute inquiry into tbe governments of the different colonies , and all complaints and grievances there , and against the Colonial Department . But Sir W . Molesworth -did not propose to inquire into abuses of detail , or the conduct of individuals . "Great , as be 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 of the motion , he thought the time had arrived when an attempt should be made to improve our colonial system , founding hi s opinion , not upon one
single consideration , but upon the joint result of many considerations . He obviated some of the objections offered by Mr . Hawes to the appointment of a commission to inquire into these _su-jects , which a Colonial Secretary , overburdened and distracted by so many duties _^ had not sufficient time to consider as he ought ; and he believed that a _commission appointed by the Executive Government , and acting in harmony with that government , would afford it useful extraneous aid , and , so far fi-om this being an extraordinary , it was a usual course , and one followed in othir cases by 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 . _Laboucukee opposed the motion , which was grounded npon a sweeping / indiscriminate censure of the whole colonial policy ofthe empire , alike impolitic and nnjusfc . The three classes of subjects to which the inquiry of the commission was to be di--trected comprised almost the whole circle of duties "belonging to the Government and Legislature with -reference to the colonies . However convenient it
mig ht be to get rid of responsibility by shifting it upon a commission , he _objested , as unconstitutional to delegate to a body of this description functions which should be exercised upon their responsibility hy Ministers of the Crown . He showed the distinction between a standing commission , contemp lated by Sir W . Molesworth , and commissions appointed for special and defined purposes , whose inquiries were of practical utility , whereas nothing could result from the former but disappointment . The motion was supported by Mr . Scott and Mr . _Adderltjt .
Lord J . Russell was at a loss to know what were the definite objects of the proposed commission , whose _mquiries , in 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 , tbe commissioners could not possibly arrive at any rational conclusion as to any , and if they attempted to carry on the ordinary business of administration for the colonies , they would interfere witn the functions ofthe executive government , and might open fresh sources of complaint in tbe colonies . He showed that an attempt to define the
limits of imperial and local questions mig ht lead to ¦ disputes , and that the adjustment of the forms of colonial government by abstract rules migh t cau s e _dissatisfaction . All questions of _administration were to be decided by certain fixed principles , but in applying them the circumstances of tbe country must " be considered . In such a commission all the responsibility of the - government would be merged ; instead of this , it "would be better to leave this , like other questions , to bedealtwithinthe first instance bythe responsible Ministers of the Crown , and afterwards by the control and supervision of Parliament , __ * -vhichwasin accordance with the free _constitntio-t of this country
Monday, June 25. House Of Lords.-Dipioma...
After a _' shdrt reply from Sir W . Molesworth , the House divided , when the motion ' was negatived by 1 G 3 against 89 . ' " ¦'* ¦ i _^ The other orders having boen disposed of , the Ilouse adjourned at one o ' clock . .
" WEDNESDAY , Jusb 27 . HOUSE OP _COMMONS . — New Writ fob _Loxbo-v . —On the motion of Mr . J . A . Smith , a new writ was orderedfor the City of London , inthe room of _Baron'S _^ _bpel de Rothschild , who had accepted the _CliiltSrS * Hundreds . — Pbisox _Discrpusu . —The adjourned debate on Mr . C . _Peabsos ' s motion on tile subjeet of prison discipline was resumed by Mr . Bkoiiiehto _*** , who ; quoted statistical details showing thc 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 oi intoxicating drinks was not necessary forthe sustenance of life , and if 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 io the country . Sir H . Halfobd 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 . b a ronet con cl u d e d by moving a s an amen d m e nt , that a select committee be appointed to inquire into the system of prison _disciphne at present applied to prisoners under confinement in England and "Wales .
Mr . Fbewen supported the amendment . Mr . Alderman _Sidset thought the plan suggested by Mr . Pearson a speculative one , and considering tlie separate system the most beneficial , should vote for the amendment . Lord _Maiion complained of the needless voluminousness of the prison returns , and suggested their curtailment . Considering the plan involved in the motion as pregnant wieh difficulties , he c ou l d 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 . _Desisoi * 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 . Robert Palmes bore testimony to the advantages resulting from the separata system . Sir G . Gret expressed his gratification at the fa _» vonrable testimony which had been that day g i ven tothe 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 oug ht to be the first act ofthe 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 . _Aodeulet advocated the expediency of an entirely new system of classification of criminals , contending that at present there was no essential distinction betweenvirtue and vice , education and punishment , nor between emigration and transportation .
Sir . J . "Walmsley 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 which he was more particularl y acquainted he had found from . 300 to 400 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 of the infamous panderers to crime who waited at the prison gates , on th e exp iration of their imprisonment , for the purpose of giving them
the only employment they could obtain , namely , in re-enacting the very crimes which had hefore led to their incarceration . The expense to the country of juvenile criminals , in their prosecution and imprisonment , until some more signal crime led to their transportation , was infinitely greater than the cost of preparing them for a trade . . * Mr . _Wouehodsk concurred in the expediency of extending education . Sir J . Pamngtox , a f ter t h e o pinion expressed by Sir G . Grey , that inquiry was desirable by a committee , trusted tbat both motion and amendment would be withdrawn .
Sir n . Halfobd withdrew his amendment ; and , after a reply from Mr . C . Pearson , the motion was withdrawn also . _Bankrupt axd In-solvent Member- Bill . —The House then went into committee upon this bill , when Mr . _Goimovnx _suggested the expediency of proceeding by resolution rather than by bill , which would subject the privileges of this House to the dec isi on o f t he ot h er House ; a suggestion w h ic h was strongly urged by Mr . Vyxxn , and , after some conversation , the Chairman was moved out of the chair , in order to afford time for considering the course to be pursued , which appeared not without difficulty . Thb Bexefices _»* PLtRALiir Bill , which stood for second reading , was withdrawn at the suggestionofSir G . GnEV . The General _axb Quabter Sessions Bill passe d through committee . ' _
Peoteciion of "Women Bilt .. —Mr . _Spooneb 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 . Ansiet opposed thc bill , which was onesided , and whilst inoperative for good it would be productive of harm . " * He moved its rejection . Mr . Hume had always understood that the common law was sufBcient for the protection of women ; why , t h ere f ore , was new legislation called for ? The _ATioRXEr-General had no answer to g iv e to this question , and he pointed out the defects of the bill , which he thought would weaken and relax the existing law . Mr . _Spooxer 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 bis readiness to amend its defects in thc committee .
Mr . Ellis , Mr . Law , and Mr . _New-degate , supported the bill . Sir G . Gkey said , his objections to the bill were so 3 trong that , uuleshe had a distinct assurance that they would be obviated in committee , he could not support it . Mr . Spooxer gave his assurance in the _mrst distinct terms , TJpm a division , Mr . Anstev's amendment was negatived by 130 against 6 . The discussion npon the original motion ' was resumed after the division , aud continued until the hour of six arrived , when the Sfeaker quitted the chair . THURSDAY , June 28 .
HOUSE OP LORDS . _—Fbesch _Intervention in Rome . —The Earl of Ei & _BXBonouGn asked the government whether any communication had been re c eiv e d b y it from the government of France , subsequent to its former communication , and in explanation of the " changed character" of the expedition to Rome . The Marquis of _Lassdowsb observed , that no communication had been received by her Majesty's government respecting what the noble earl designated the changed character of ihe expedition in question . Lord Stanley wished that the government would g ive some specific information to the House in reference to the matter . He was anxious to as c ertain if , sub se quentl y , to the recei pt of the communication having reference to tho
expedition first meditated , her Majesty ' s government had asked for or -received any explanation of the motives ofthe French government in deviating so greatly from its former professions in the expedition recently sent mto the "Raman territory . The Boman states had been occupied , and Rome itself was now bombarded , for no other reason than that the Roman people would not consent to the entrance of French troops into their eity . _^ Such proceedings appeared to him to be wholly unjustifiable . _^ The Marquis of Laxsdowse replied that no formal demand had been made of an explanation from the French government . We understood the noble marquis to add that he would not say that the changed -proceeding of the French government was not a legitimate subject of inquiry , or that inquiry had notbeen _' made .
The Earl of . Aberdeen then complained of we 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 tlie greater portion of the evening was consumed in the discussion of its clauses . Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to . The House then resumed , the committee to sit again on Friday at half-past four o ' clock . The other business on the paper was disposed of , and the House adjourned .

THE SIEGE OF ROME . LATESTlfEWS . Paris , Friday . —There is no news of importance this morning , but despatches from Rome have been received , these reach only to the 22 nd instant . Later news from the camp atthe Villa , Santucci is dated to the 23 rd instant , but it contains no later intelligence , the only inference to be drawn being that the French wero still strengthening themselves on the breach they have made , beyond which they are unable to pass without more fighting , as they must now breach an inner entrenchment built bek nd the first by the Romans . -

TO THE EDITOR OF THE " WEEKLY TIMES . " Sir , — -My attention was called lately to an article in your paper on the state of France , which for ignorancc-and atrocity can only be its own parallel . By what motive , I ask , could you b e actuat ed i n applying your vile epithets and' outrageous anathemas on the head of that truly illustrious and excellent , man , Le d ru Rollin , as great and virtuous a gentleman as ever adorned any age or nation ? Their are either one or two things to account for it ; you must either be a very ignorant booby , or else a vile miscreant , £ . e ., a paid tool in the hands of some audacious t 3 _* rant , as great a stranger to virtue as yourself . You ought to have told the world what the brave Ledru Rollin has done to merit the bloodthirsty punishment you have prescribed for him , but
you dared not do it ; but I wiU'tell you the crimes he has committed ; he has been guilty of loving his fellow-men more than aristocratic vices , and striving to make the French Republic in reality what it is in name . His great and lofty soul cannot bear to see the masses trampled on by a wretched and sordid aristocracy , whether it be that of birth , money , or land . Had your villanous curses been upon such miscreants as Odillon Barrot , or that einpty tomfool , ex-police , president Napoleon , or - ' any of the vile herd they are leagued with , even then it would only have evinced a savage , brutal , and untutored mind , _*• yet it mi /» ht have been palliated by imagining
that your humanity and zeal had got a temporary victory over your reason ; but when you rake tho lower regions for language in condemnation of the best of men and the best of causes , it is really unbearable ; _butjjperh' aps , like Judas , you can view your thirty pieces of silver , a n d I hope , like him , you will view it with the same regret ; and should it terminate with the same result it will be another instance of vice meeting its due reward . Hopingthat the brave Ledru Rollin may soon be the president of the French Republic , and -that kingcraft , and all its concomitant atrocities , may speedily be numbered , along with yourself , among the things that have been ,
I remain , > A sincere hater of every nincompoop resembling - ' the scrawier of the insignificant Weekly Times , East Moor , Wakefield . Jons Ward . *

THE EX-DUKE OF BRUNSWICK _^* THE WEEKLY DISPATCH .
* ¦ _' .-: COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH , - ; . . Tuesday , June 20 . "• The ex-Duke of _Biira'swick said , this was an action brought by himself against the proprietor ofthe Weekly mpateh newspaper , to recover damages 101 a scries of libels published iu that paper respecting himself f rom the year 1830 down to the present time This was not the first occasion on whicli he had . con . e iiito an English court of justice in order to vindicate his character from libellous- imputations , and he had already been successful io putting down the Age , the Satirist , and . other newspapers , which had made him the object of their attacks . His _Hifflincss then proceeded to read at length the libellous articles of which he now complained , one _tuu _ui
of which , published in the _Vispaicn on _wm September , 1 * 17 , described him -as tho Duke of Brunswick who had been dismissed by his 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 answcrin' ** for those of the Duke of Brunswick . The libel on wliich the plaintiff appeared most to rely , and which he contended showed the animus of the later libels , was an article published in the year 1830 , g iving an account bf the causes which led to the revolution hy which the inhabitants of Brunswick expelled the reigning Duke , tho present plaintiff , 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 every sort of robbery and fraud , " and 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 Brunswick ) understood that the defendant meant to-day to justify these publications on tho ground that they were comments upon a public character , but that argument was _unr tenable , for public men were liable to be exposed to hatred b ' y libellous attacks upon their political as well as upon their private conduct . Such attacks , alsOi were especially calculated to expose their persons to danger . His Highness then read several le ' _ttoi's which ho had eaused to bo written to the
defe n dant , expostulating with him on his conduct , the onl y result of which , was the publication of other , articles which : the plaintiff also Complained 6 f as libellous . ¦ :: . _*• . ; '¦ - ' . , ¦ ¦ ' ¦ Evidence was then given of the publication of the several libels , one of which , originally published in 1830 , was republished by the defendant only a short time since , 'by being sold to a person sent to the Dispatch office b y the plaintiff , to p urchase the paper . A copy of the number required could not bo 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 p a p er were then proved , which completed the plaintiff's case . "• ' " ' . - . ' ¦ _- ' ¦'¦ Sir F . Thesiger addressed the court for the defence . ' The case was a remarkable one , for it began with a charge of libel , a llege d to have b een _-. published _, so far back as 183 U—nineteen years ago . Probably the person who penned the article was dead . Indeed " , the duke ' s c our s e 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 right to complain , but in the year 1847 I find the words ' outraged and indignant subjects . ' In 1848 I find the
words ' ruthlessly hurled from his throne . ' " He ( Sir-Frederick . Thesiger ) found in the" same paper that itwas stated that other exiles had favoured this land with their presence ; but the ingenious way in wliich the publication of 1830 was made to speak , at the present day , since it was raised as tlie 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 lib els , so that it was only by making them point to what had appeared in 1830 , and making it interpret what had been published in the latter years that thc
duke could seek damages at their hands . But ho 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 woidd have to decide would be one of a very difierent character . They would have to say whether a journalist was or was not entitled to discuss matters of public and general importance . He assorted 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 . Tbey were _mattei' 3 of history upon wliich every man had aright 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 the public conduct and public character of the duke , which 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 doncwith any private malice or with the view of assailing his private reputation through the medium ofhis public one . Now , the events with which the Duke of Brunswick was mixed up wero e v en ts of gre a t p ublic and po lit i c a l importance , and had become , therefore , part of the common property of the history of Europe . It was perfectly c l ear , from the letter of Mr . Oddy , which had been put in , that he was compelled to leave his countrv ,
as a . revolution took place tliere , that his palace was set on fire , and that hc was obliged to escape ; that his brother was now seated upon the throne from which this journal asserted he had been driven . The public journalist took different historical events into his consideration , and expressed his opinion how revolutions wero effected of an unexpected character , and his opinions upon those who were tho principal actors in them . If the proprietors of the Weekly Dispatch believed that the Duke of Brunswick hail acted the part of a traitor , that he had excited the disgust and hatred of his subjects , that they rose indignantl y against his oppress i on , that they hurried him from tho throne , was there anything in the Constitution of this country or in law , as
applicable to the press of this country , which could restrain the expres . ssion of those opinions and feelings which he nii g ht think proper to express upon the occurrence of such 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 the 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 , sa id h e was n ot sent awa y —that he left voluntarily , and that his subjects iii 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 li g ht a beacon to guide hini 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 IT . had enough of sins of his own to answer for without taking the additional weight of his ( the Duke of Brunswick ' s . ) The duke knew that the letter could not bo produced in evidence , _bsing written to the editor of tlie paper . Ho therefore commenced his action , and made the purchase ofthe very paper in which the letter had 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 tho living and the dead should he produced—otherwise why was the matter allowed to slumber for nineteen years . He contended i that the editor of the Diipatch could not be . held liable for a . publication of a letter of the plaintiff ' s . A letter sent to a private individual could not be ' held 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 , th a t the writer of thc latter articles must have had the former letter in his mind . Such was the slender foundation upon which this superstructure was
based . The 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 riot thought proper to bring an action . It went on to say that the plaintiff _carried off his j ewels , 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 Dogberr y he mig ht say , "; Comparisons are odious . ' Then another of the alleged libels consisted : in a Ion- * article , iii 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 , were not there to try the merits of the revolution in Brunswick , whether
the Duke was driven away for his misrule by 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 assort its views for the benefit of those to whom , the publication was addressed . But if they fettered the press in the expression of its jud gment on m a tters o f thi s ™« . Jh e liberty of the- Tress must be at an end . He ( Sir F . Thesiger ) held that the plaintiff was a fair object of criticism , and that the Weekly Dispatch had acted properl y in what it had done , fro should like to know where they wore to stop if the Duke of Brunswick was to be allowed to come into an English court of justice to gag the British press , nnd to prevent its expressing its opinions honestly and fearlessly withregard to the public events ihni ; happened m his kingdom , and to the _circumstances whichled to hia being dwea , from it . Where were
^ * Itl-Aj ' *"* {' * %'': >¦ Parliament...
they to draw the line ? TheDuke of-Brunswick was not . to have a monopoly "in ; those actions he was not to be the only public person who was to be ' exempted from the attacks of the press . The same principle whicb applied to the Duke of Brunswick tO-day would app ly to every , other reigning or exiled monarch _to-mori-o-v ; and the result ivoiild be that it would be quite impossible to express any op in i on on publ i c matters , except in that mincing way which was far from desirable in a' public journal . Ho , therefore , ; stood upon this ground ; lie utterly denied that there had been anything like the pu blication of an article in the year 1830 for which the defendants were to be held responsible to the Duke of Brunswick , or that / in the article of 1847 or 1848 tliere was anything which , in the slightest degree , ' reflected on the private character , of the Duke of _Th-unswick . He ( Sir F . thesiger ) did most earnestly _^^ _-----rr _^ _,.-rKn _.-n ,, ir 0 _nf"Rrnnawickw . _* _i 8
and anxiously assert the right oi tms or any puuuo journal to express fearlessly its opinion of the Duke ' s public conduct , ' _-. if it thoug ht that conduct was obnoxious to public comment ; and if the jury , by their verdict , should lay down a contrary principle , thoy would do more to destroy the liberty of the press than had been done for many years before . He thoug ht . this public journal was comp letely d e fended in this action ; and he certainly looked with some anxiety to the result of this investigation' but not without a most sanguine hope that that result would be a verdict forthe defendant . Lord Desm a n then summed up the evidence to the jury , and said that probably the later libels published by the defendant would hot have been made the subject of complaint , if the plaintiff had not been led to discover that they were but a
continua-¦ * - - * - - <• i t . tion of a series of libels the publication of which commenced in the year . 1830 - The defendant had pleaded the Statute of Limitations as to that imeJ , but that plea would not avail him , inasmuch as there had been a fresh publication of that paper . The questions for the jury then would be , were the publications libellous ; and , if . so , to what amount of damages was the plaintiff entitled . He ( Lord Denman ) thought that in this country a writer had no right to charge a public character with being n tyrant by his public acts , unless he was prepared with proofs to show that the charge was true ; and the article originally published in 1830 , and recently riunnhlislicd bv the defendant , did not , in his ( Lord
Denman ' s ] i opinion , fall within the limits of political remark . Ifc accused the plaintiff of having outraged the feelings of his subjects , and refused them a constitution sanctioned by ' George IV ., and that he had needlessly continued in time of peace the taxes imposed in time of war . It declared th . it he oppressed his subjects and punished them without trial , and then described him as a wretch who had exhausted the patience of his subjects , and had beenguilfcy of every sort of robbery and fraud . . His lordship then read several passages of a similar import from the paper in question , and said that the publication was not nrotected by the Statute of Limitations . His
lordship then said that the article went on with considerable eloquence to declare that this country stood in the proud position bf being the sole haven of peace , and safety in which exiles from foreign lands could take shelter , 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 re p ose , by accusing them of crimes which , if tru e , ought to subject them to punishment . His lordship then left it to tlie jury to say whether the publications were libellous ; and , if so , what amount of damages the plaintiff was entitled to . The Jury retired , and , on their return into court , gave a verdict for the plaintiff , with £ 500 damages .

Worship-Street.—Mr. James Edwards, A Man...
WORSHIP-STREET . —Mr . James Edwards , a managing clerk in the service of a wholesale glass manufacturing firm in Ghiswell-street , appeared , upon remand , to answer the charge of having grossly insulted several ladies residing at Hackney and Dalston . —About eig ht o ' clock in the evening of Tuesday se ' nnight , Holl an d , t h e w ar r a nt officer , was proceeding through a secluded lane leading to Hackney-grove , when-his attention was attracted by loud screams and cries of "Police , " a nd u p on 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
acc o m pan ied th em inform e d him that a p e rson in t h e 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 c om p lain e d th a t thoy had been subjected to similar indecency . Observing the prisoner at the same moment proceeding leisurely along an adjoining pathway , the officer called upon him to stop , on which the prisoner instant l y t ook to fl ight ; but after a sharp and protracted pursuit he was overtaken and secured , when the disordered appearance ofhis dress presented incontestible evidence in confirmation of the charge , ne was perfectly sober at the time he was taken ,
nollandintimat ed that hc 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 ho 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 were altogether
incorrect in the opinions thoy had formed with regard to his client ' s conduct and . intontions ; 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 sentence d tho prisoner to be committed for three months to the House of Correction , a s a rog u e and vagabond ; at thc expiration of which he was required to put in substantial bail for his good behaviour for the further term of six months . —Upon hearing thc sentence the prisoner became greatly agitated , and _entreatcdihe 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 tho 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 ' _Soloieb . —T . Shoesmith , a private in the 1 st Life _Gunrds , was char g ed witli being drunk , _neglecting to pay a cab fare , committing two vi'dent assaults , and resistimi the police in the execution of their duty . —E : ward Dobson _, an elderly man afflicted with deafness , stated that the prisoner got into his cab on the previous nig ht 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 . _Defen-lant walked away towards Brampton , 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 but all his teeth . Defendant made a second blow at him , but he f o rtunately succeeded in avoiding it . A number of persons came round , and he gave the defendant into custody . —Joseph Fowkos , 203 B , stated that on his taking the defendant into custody , he struck him violently in the chest . He was drunk , and made so desperate a resistance that it required seven or _ei-rhf * 1 . 1 _ - - -
. * * oiner constables to convey him tothe station-house . —Defendant at first said that he paid the drive- * half-a-crown before he got out of the cab , but ho afterwards stated that he paid him as he was getting out . He was drunk , but he eou _'dn't believe that he struck an old man like the cab-driver ; he must have pushed him or something of that sort . —Mr . Burrell observed that the defendant ' s con d uct h a d been most violent , and ordered him to pay a fine of £ 5 , or be committed 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 . MANSION-HOUSE . —Tricks of Omsibus _CoxnuciOBs . —G . Roe , theconductorofanomnibus which runs from Ba y swater to th e City , was summoned for having unlawfully deceived Mr . E .
