BIBKOTOHABI . Ghkat Chusch Ratb SirKiKG . —In opposition to ainety-nine oat <> l er « ry hundred people in Birmingham , the stupid and bigotted cburchwardenfl , Kimberley and Boucher , not content with their former defeat , determined on callin g * meeting on Friday last , at the Town Hall , of those who are liable to the direct paymeat of poor * rates , in order to maie an application for a rato of sixpence in the pound , Tery few houses under £ 20 yearly rental paying their rates direct , so fiiat th « worthies calculated on having it ail their own way . The working men , however , determined to / be present , and entered the Town Hall , in great numbers , long before the time of « meeting . A stormy scene took place prevkra * to the chair being taken , ceeV
swned by the tomfoolery of Mr . Boucher , who thrust himself mto the seat which should be occupied by the Chairman . The business began at eleven o ' clock , and after a vast dasi of sparring en both sides , in which Messrs . M'Donnell , Doeglas . Thompson , end others , tosk part , Mr . Alderman Weston waa elec ted Chairman by an overwhelming majority . . The church-rate party were about to demand * pi > Hin favour of Mr , Gurtridge , but ultimately « gr « ed ^ o ¦ How Mr . Weston to fcMt f toe chair . Toe csumated expences of bell ringing , surplice washing , &o ., having been gone intoi Mr . Alston moved , " That a rate of sixpenoe is thapoosd be granted . " Mr . R . E . Dooglas . moved- that the rate should not be
granted . Upon the question being put , nearly everynand was held up against the r » to ana & few white gloTes in favour of it . Mr . White addressed the meeting , and blamed the Whigs and sham Reformers lor not doing away with the rates , altogether when they had the power of doing bo ; he would B 0 n » tfeeles » oppose the rate . Mr . Collins also opposed tbe rate . The church-rate party demanded a poll , which was appointed to take place that evening , and continue until four o ' clock on tbe following Thursday . The polling proceeds with great spirit , and op to the- time of our writing ( Tuesday evening ) , thaw u a majority of 2 , 000 again ** the rate .
Police . —Nothing can exceed the disgusting scenes which daily take ^ pTa * 6 the Public-office of this town . Oa Thursday last , a man named Bates , was brought before tbe magistrates , at the instance of a miserable looking attorney , who said he was employed by a society for ' the prosecution of felons . The enormous crime laid against the prisoner , a toil-worn button-maker , was , that be had some buttons in his possession , the property of his employer , Mr . Elliot , for whom . Bates had worked for ten years ' . The buttons were produced by a great mountain of flesh in policeman ' s clothe ? , who deposed to ftadisg tbe bartons in the bottom of a teacaddy on the mantelpiece . -He produced them with great pomp , and when fairly opened to poblio view ,
there appeared about a score of rusty old buttons , which would not sell for a penny at any " odds and ends" in the kingdom * . -The maa said he had worked text years tot Mr . Elliot , who , by-tha-byes u * great devotee at Carr * 8-lane chapel , and as might be « appoeed , had , perhaps once in three months , picked up a rusty buttOBr . which might be used when others hmd dropped ; fpw * his tattered garwnts . He said he had brought theffl from th * veifeshep . A little enivelling clerk , identified . bmb « of the property , < aboot : Uif ^ e buttonsj after which' the pettifogger tried with all his might to-get the man committed , aa as example . After a vast deal of solemn shaking of heads and long looks , the man , after suffering some previous imprisonment , was discharged . with a lecture from the soIohb on the bench , on the awful
crime of taking two or three rusty buttons during ten years , in which time he bad perhaps earned ten pounds for his master for every button produced as -evidence against him . Another ease was that of a poor old woman named Caroline Baker , who was charged by a well-dressed young woman , named Walker , -with stealing a bottle-jack . The only evidence produced was that of another young female , who said that she saw the poor old ' woman , who is a neighbour of theirs , with something « nder her apron . The ease was dismissed , bat the question to be asked is , what compensation are injured people to receive when they are thrust into a prison at the whim of every well-dressed scoundrel . During the whole of those trials , about twelve lazy policemen were lounging on the seats . When will those rascalities come to an end ?

Loss o * ah Emigrant Ship , the TJbakia . —On Friday , accounts arrived at Lloyd ' s of the wreck of the Urania , an emigrant ship belonging to Liverpool , which occurred on the night of Thursday week last , on West Hoyle Bank , at Mostyn . She had 208 emigrants on board , and was on her passage to Sydney , Kevr South Wales , but providentially every soul was saved by means of the life-boats stationed on the share . The ship has become a total wreck , having partially gone to pieces . Rekabkablx Robbest asd Rssnvcrnox . —A few months Ago the house of Mr . MiUingtoo , watchmaker and jeweller , Symonds-street , Clerkenwell , was entered and robbed of a variety of watches and jewellery , to a > considerable amount , but in spite of the most unreavJ&Bg exertiocs , no clue could be obtained to tbe diaaerery of the offenders . On Friday afternoon , whilst Mr . Millwgton was conversing
with a--customer in his shop , a parcel was delivered by the Parcels' Delivery Company , which was found to contain a number of watches very carefully packed in wool , and also a quantity of jewellery , all of which were immediately recognised as the stolen property above-mentioned . On farther searching the box , Mr . Millingtoa found » letter , written in a disguised hand , stating that the thief , repenting of his dishonesty , and having by the death of » relative obtained the means of { quitting the country for ever , had himself redeemed Mr . Millington'fl property , aad determined by restitution-to make as full an amend as possible . The letter bore no signature , but the writer further stated that circumstances which he could not explain had thrown him , for a time , into vicious courses as the oatr means of gaining a subsistence . Mr . Millington believes that the party had formerly been in bis service . ;;

. ip yiHB lAijt Inspector of Prisons' Report a carious passage is . given from the journal of tbe Chaplain of Eoqtaford House of Correction . The Rev . gentleman ioornalises as follows : — " Visited the solitary cells ; found in them John —— , about twenty years of age ; he was extremely ignorant , knew nothing of Christ , and very little of Ged . His father is ijltfman on the river Weaver . Never went to school . Acknowledged that he kjoew it was wrong to sieal bat he never knew it before , for his father told Mm every one did it" The chaplain is
» little hard da the poor fellow ' s ignorance on religiosa matters ; the Witter could hardly be expected to know so . much about oar Saviour and tha Deity as the chaplain , who is bound to cultivate a professional acquaintance with such subjects . It might be equally difficult to impress the guilt of Bttaling on the prisoner ' s mind , especially as his father had told him that " every one did it . " The latter , bythe-way , is describe d as a fiat-man ; " he seems , nevertheless , to understand the ways of tbe world tolerably well .
Chask Extiuoedikart . —A miner , residing not many miles from tbe Land ' * End , who had been in the habit-for aome time past of tuflictiag eevere panishment on his wife , a very pretty little woman , for the most trifling offences , proceeded so far wijh his brutality , that her patience became at length exhausted , and she went to a neighbouring magi * trate to swear the peace against him . A warrant was immediately issueff , and delivered to the constable , who repaired to a neighbouring pariah , where the delinquent resided in a state of separation from his wife . It being early \ the constable found him in bed , and iatsediaiely ordered him to turnout and go with him . The husband promptly obeyed , and having pnt on his waistcoat and jacket * asked leave of tbe- officer to go into the next room to pat on his
trousers , which bad been left there the night before . As he had no shoes or stockings on , the request was granted ; bat thepriwBer finding hfiaself out of the . aSgbi of the constable , determined t 6 make his escape .. fie therefore cleared £ he stair *** * booad , and before tbe constahl * . knew where he was , he war running across the wontry at a fearful pace . The officer and another man immediately followed him , but he led them a run of upwards of two miles and a half , daring which he cleared « t a boand old Bbafts , hedges , and furze bushes , until he reached the mine where he worked , and descended the ladder .
The constable guarded , as he thought , all egress from the mine , and then be and the mine captain descended ; but the p risoner led them another chase through all the subterraneous passages , and at length bolted up one of the shafts , which in the harry had not been guarded . On reaching grass , he set off again , and did not stop till he arrived at his own house , where he now lies in great danger from the cats and bruises be received in his feet All proceedings against him are said to be stopped ; the punishment he has inflicted on himself being more severe than a month at the treadmill . —Plymouth Journal .
HOKKID MtTBDKB AT DiBFIELD , JfKAE BaHNSLET . —The following are the particulars connected with one of the most diabolical and oooliy-premeditated murders that has ever been committed in this part of the country . ' What readers the event more shocking is the fact that the unfortunate victim w&s assassinated by mistake , owing , it is supposed , to bis being in age , appearance , and dress , very similar to the person marked out by the raurderera . The deceased was a young man , named Thomas Dep-edge , about 21 , a farming servant , in the employ of Mr . T . Heptenstall , of Billingley , near Darneld . The murder was committed on the turnpike-road , between the twoplaces , and very near the cross-roads leading
from Darneld to Doncaster , Pontefract , and Botherham . It appears , that on Monday night , two boat haulers , named Joseph and William Lodge , residing at Wonibwell , were returning from' Barnsley fair , and when they had got as far as Worsbrough-hill , a short distance from Barnsley , they became engaged in a quarrel with two men , named Marsdea aad Mills , who were walking on tbe road . Joseph Lodge got off his horse , and attacked the two men , giving one a severe bite on the cheek , and almost biting the fingers off the hand of tbe other . He received himseli some very severe scratches aad braises , whioh seem to have exasperated him , and roused him to a determination of deadly revenge . Marsden and
Mills having picked up the hat which Joseph Lodge had lost in the scuffle , proceeded on the road home , and called at the Ring of Bells public-house at Darfield-bridge , where they met with Thomas Depledge and seme companions , who were also returning from the fair . In the meantime the two Lodges , who are brothers , had gone back to Barnsley , evidently with the intention of collecting a force for the purpose of assisting in their revengeful purpose . They called , with their companions , one of whom was a nephew , named John- Lodge , at all the beer-houses and pablie-houces on the road , and at length , their friends having left them , the three Lodges entered thepublichouse at Darfield-bridge , where they found Joseph ' s
hat on the table , and- saw the two men with whom they had quarrelled . Some aoepfoious expressions fell from them there , and they were perceived to be watohiDg for Marsden and Mills leaving the house . Some evil purpose was bo apparent , that Mills was strongly advised not to leave thehoUBe that night . At length , however , Marsden and Mills , along with Depledge and several others , left the house , and proceeded homewards towards Billingley . When they bad got to the Milnhouses , a short distaaee from Darfield , the two former went f oitfxrd before the others . At the cross roads they bad gained ground a good deal ; and near this place Depledge , it is supposed , ( a consequence of hearing footsteps behitid ,
and wishing to apprise the men of some danger , left his friends and proceeded forward at a ' quicker pace . Joseph and William Lodge then came up , spoke to the party behind , aad walked sharply past-One was- in his shirt sleeves , which were doubled up , and carried a large hedge stake . When they had gone abont a hundred yards further , a very severe blow -was heard bj those who were In tbe rear . They hastened forward , and fonnd their companion , Depledge , lying bleeding on the road .

BtTRT . —According to request and announcement , Mr .

Izrgelf , frwa Campbell ' s work , proving that awpeal without nocompanylpg measures , and with the , present , state of the franchlae , would be a Curse , instead ot a , Wealing , to the people . The meeting was highly delighted with Mr . Boyle ' s Tery able discourse . A vote of thanks
being moved to the lecturer , Mr . Doyle r « tora « d th « compliment , and advised every working man , who wished to view thaqueation ot the . Com XaWa in ; a proper manner , immediately to procure fo * UtOBeif the book written by Mr . Campbell , JBeorataay to the Executive , and when every man has read that work he will be able to leoture hiinaelf . Mr . Doyle will lecture again on Monday , the 15 th , when he will be willing to meet any Corn Law repealer to discuss the question whether their repeal , without accompanying measures , will be of any benefit to the working classes ; but If there will be no person to diacuaa the Question , he will lecture ' on the caosa of the diatresa ot the people .
ZONOOK ^—SCV&SlON ON- CHABTfSM At * D TBE Conw Laws . —On Friday evening last , a dlacuaaion te » k place at the Social HaU , Juhn-atreet , Tottenham < jourt Road , on the question •• Whether Chartiam or a Bepeol of the Com Laws wonld tend moat to relieve the d& ftresaof tbe country . " The Ball was crowded to excess , and tbe chair Laving been taken by Mr . Abbey , at the appointed time , Mr . Farrow opened the question -on the aide of tbe Chartists by reading a letter from Mr . Hearne , a Corn Law Repealer , who bad challenged the St . Pancras ChartiaU , a few days previous ; he was in eensequenoe invited to attend , bat he had since got a freah light upon the aubjeet , fo > he deoliided attending , stating aa bis reason that he thdaght it inipoHoc to bring the two parUea into open volliaioa . ¦ Mie » I ^ arrow
then entered into an excellent explanatorydetaU of the priitdplMot the People's Charter , and detailed the evils of our manufacturing system ai exemplified lslh * factory , and called upon t *« n , one and all , to unite for the Charter , aa a remedy that would relieve not only the Corn Laws , but every other national grievance . — Dr . Sootakie said nothing waa so easy aa to deceive the great mats of the people . They had beon deoetved by th * « rth » r « h «» p | po * . woultl ^ v « 4 ttet i * w wages , wn « twi it was a well known fact , proved , by tha » tatlat | fc » , that this was not the case ; H mastered not tp a man , what amount of money he earned , it was tbe quantity of produce which he could purchase with it Be
Vas for supporting every measure of rtfornv I ' , a soeiety was started for the purpose of draining or paving onx narrow alleys and courts , or any other progresaive measure , be would give it his ooantenance . ~ Wr . C . F . Goodfellpwaaldthelaat » p «» ker had travelled wide of the subject , ' but be would confine himself to the argument of instalments . We are willing to-receive any instalment , but we will not agitate for it—we will not divide and weaken those energies -the concentrated power of which are necessary for . the attainment of that which will relieve us of all monopolies . — Mr . Lloyd Jones was rather disappointed to bear so little said on tfie relative value of the two propositions . It mattered sot whether these men were sincere ;
the question was , which was most calculated to remove the distress—which would tend most to Improve the moral happiness Of tbe people . If for the sake of argument , he admitted that nil the Corn Law repealers were dishonest , and all the Chartists honest , aUll if the dishonest men proposed measures which would benefit the community , would that be a reasonable argument for their rejection > Be did not believe the Com Law repeal would produce the great effects many anticipated —be did not believe tbat it would tend greatly to advance tbe moral or physical condition of the people . Tbe supply of foreign corn necessary in this country was a mere fraction , compared with that grown at home . Supply was regulated by demand ; the demand for labour in the manufacturing market would only be
in proportion to the demand for com ; tho quantity of com consumed would necessarily be very limited , while our power of manufacturing goods would , by the aid of machinery , be almost unlimitablt . The consequence Would be , there would be a glut in the market ; hands would be thrown out of employ ; they would be obliged to compete with and undersell others , and all would again be in a state of confusion . Mr . Parry , in a long speech , replied to Mr . Jones . Mr . Ruft ' y Ridley , in the course ot a long speech , went into , a valuable detail of statistics of the rate of wages , prieecof materials , he in foreign nations , and inquired what benefit it wonld be to the working clauses . of this country ,
to see a large loaf in a window , while the pane of glass hindered them from obtaining it . He shewed that , by giving the people political power , they would no longer be at the ezpence ot maintaining such an enormous and useless Church and State Establishmentthat they would no longer be compelled to maintain such an expensive military and naval fores—that they would no longer dare to appropriate , such enormpus rams under tha item of secret service money , &a , and concluded an eloquent address amidst much cheering . Tbe subject for next Friday was decided to be" Which is most worthy of agitation , Socialism or EbartiBmt" . -
BlHWiNeHAMt—Public Meetings . —A public meeting was held at the Chartist meeting-iooni ; Freeman- «^ eeti yn Monday evening iast , Mr : Thorp * in the chair . " Mr . Wilkinson , B ^ bj Sefiretary ,. read a circular fronrtne Erecutlve at Manchester , explaining the necessity of -tbft Association exerting themselves to carry out the plans laid down by the Executive . The Chairman then called upon Mr . John Mason , of Newcastie-npon-Tyne , to deliver a lecture . Mr . Mason proceeded at great length to lay down | he glorious objects for which the Cnarlista were straggling , and , after a beautiful display of maaly and energetic oratory on the grievances of the people , he adverted to the case el M'Leod , and commented on the effect which a war with America would produce on the Chartist movement
He said that the CharUata wonld not consent to be made the instruments of tyranny , and would not fight in defence of an odious aristocracy , who were the sole cause of the sufferings endured by the industrious classes of Great Britain . There were bounds to human endurance , and he hoped that before Sir Robert Peel entered into a war with the freemen of America , that he would enfranchise the working classes of this country . Som * of the Tory papers , in speaking of a war with America , had warned tbe Americana H « ft they had aome millions of slaves ready te revolt , but the sapient writers seemed to forget that there were also millions of famishing slaves in Great Britain , anxious for an opportunity of throwing off the galling yoke by which they wen fettered . , Be then described the great sacrifices which had been made by other nations for the establishment of liberty , and painted oat the resnlU whkh would follow the establishment of thePdople ' a Charter , and conclod « d a most kwiffiant and animated speech bj oaUlng on , all those wno' nad not previously done ao to enrol their nametin the ranJm of freedom byjoiaiag tha National Charter Aaaodation . He waa loudly chewed thnmghent aad aat down amidstenthosiaatic applause . Mr . George White next addressed the meeting . Be said that he bad no seed to attempt anything lathe tbapeof % speecb , after the tplmdld addreat whieh had been deliveredb y Mr . Mason . He stood before them for the purpose of introducing necessary business . He then explained the subject connected with the National Petition for 1842 , which had been drawn ap by the Executive during their stay in Birmingham , and After dwelling on the glaring disparity in the pay of Tarions uselesfl parties , and the paltry sum doled out to those without whom society could not possibly exist , aa set forth in the petition ; be showed the necessity of every man who was not a Blave at heart , exerting himself to procure signatures to it He also referred to the election of delegates to a Convention which would assemble

About half-past twelve-o ' clock tbe steamer arrived-sir Bnmboxton quay , which WMteaUS covered with amnan being */ who received the - diatiagsiahed advocate- of Universal Saffiwgo amid deofeoing acclamations .

The operatives of Leyen , having many of them bean blndered . from attending at mid-dayi llr . O'Connor staid at Dtunbarton till six o ' clocfcataight , atthep » r ^« i lar request of tbe operative * thare . Mr .

B » gave an eloquent speech , on tl » - occasion , alike dlsttngoiAhed by close reasoning andwithering sarcasm ; and after urging them to unite with their fellow-countrymen to aid in carrying the Charter , retired amid the plaaditB of the assembly . ,
Mr . William Thomason then followed Mr . O'Con nor , and pointed ont the obligation laid npon every ' mas to aid in emancipating their fellow-subjects from the miseries of class legislation , and concluded by submitting a motion expressive of" confidence in Mr . O'Connor , and of their resolntioa to petition to aid in carrying the Chatter , which wa * carried amidst loud acclamations . . At sfs o ' clock the coach left Bambartoa with Mr . O'Connor ftr the Vale / along with the carpenters , and wen met n « ar Benten by hundreds ot mea and womea 'VjLth torches-in scores , which literally illnmlnated the
heavens . They joined Mr . O'Connor just at the com--n \« ncetnent of the avenne leading , to Renton , the hundreds apon hundreds of voicefl uniting with cheers , which ran like thunder along the vale . The carriage , having paused till the procession , composed principally of carpenters and printers , was completely formed , and the t « ro bands of music having struck up , tee solid column of httlban beings began to move through Rsnton , and a more * rmposins sight caa aoarcely be conceived . Before and bebind ~ was atange at- htrmairbeings , aad hundreds of torches naming , to which we saw no termination , and which seemed to make- toe vale iiteraUyone blaze of light . , .
Having passed through' Beaten , the Alexandria , Bohhill , and also the Jamestoa Chartists , Joined . tfie procession . Here the salutations again commenced ; and what with the rolling of drama , tbe echoes of the people , the darkness of the night , lighted with hundreds of torches , which Illuminated the bleak bills on tke left , flags waving in the night breeze , the wild echoes ringing from the top to the bottom of the Tale , after each acclamation , as well as tbe peaceful yet stern determination of the assembled thousands , gavea grand « ur to the proceedings which really awed the enemies of Chartism .
The procession , having passed through Alexandria , came to the Bonbill Bridge , over which they had to pis * on their way to the hustings . The gate was closed , and the whole procession arrested in its progress . The insulted inhabitants were about to foree their way across the bridge , when Mr . O'Connor sent Mr . Thomason to request the mass to desist' ; that he would address the multitude on the Alexandria aide of the bridge , and then proceed over to Banbill . This promise pacified the people , and all was quiet The carriage having pmt back ,
Mr . O'Co . NKoa gave an effective address on the advantages of representation . He launched one of his most powerful denunciations against the tyranny of employers in interfering with their men , and depriving them of th * means ot expressing their thoughts , and setting aside , by their proceeding , a constitutional right . He promised the masters a demonstration when he came baek from the North , in abont a month , when he would have another day with the Chartists of the Vale . He exhorted them to go right a-head for the Charter , and concluded amid protracted cheering . . The carriage again moved across the bridge , when Bonhill , as Alexandria before it , was completely swarming , the band * and assembly moved to the high part of the town , where the hustings had been erected . The immense body having reached the place , Mr . John Miller was called to the chair . The Chairman opened the meeting in an apropriate speech . . .
Mr . Thohasoh was called npon to read tbe address to Mr . O'Connor ; after it had been adopted , Mr . O'Connor was again introduced to the meeting , amid a burst of applause whioa almost seemed aa it it would be endless . His really eloquent address was a panoramic view of Chartism , and contained an account of hi * own struggles in bringing the popular cause to its present standing . He also noticed the rapid progress of Obartiafc principles , by a reference to the first and second petitions , and congratulated the assembly on an accession of strength by the union of Ireland . After cautioning them against violence , and urging the neces sity of union , he concluded amid long continued applause . Three resolutions were adopted . The first pledged the people to the six points of the Charter . - ' - ¦¦ ¦¦ ¦ : . ¦'¦¦¦' . ¦ - " - '¦ •• " '¦ ¦ ' - '
. Tbe second was expressive of the gratification felt by the English and Scottish Chartists , at the prospect of Ireland embracing the doctrines of Chartiam , and their readiness to co-operate with Ireland to gain Universal Suffrage , and aho net domestio legislature . The third recommended a National Petition and Convention , and a pledge from the immense assembly to carry oat the plan to the utmost of their power . ¦ . ¦ - ¦ •" ' ¦ . ¦' . '' . • ¦ .: ' ' ¦ ,.. - The friends of Mr . O'Connor then went to a aapper , served up in Mr . Thoniason " s school , where , after doing duty to the viands , the cloth waa withdrawn , and Mir . John M'Crae called to the chair .
The Chairman opened the business in a speech of considerable talent , ia whieh he pourtxayed the Bufferings of the Chartists , and the insufficiency of opposition to put down the spirit of a united nation . He eulogised at great length the labour * of Feargua O'Connor , and exhorted the operatives to unite together to complete their country ' s emancipation . He proposed , aa a sentiment , "The Paople , the aonrce of all power . " 8 aag , brail taa company , " Scott waa Jae wi Wsllacebled . " . .. . Next waa " The health of Faargus O'Connor , Bs ^" and done in good style . ' ' ''
Mr . d'CONMOR then replied , in a speeekin wW < m ne stated , that while his oast course had been henonrsWy alluded to ; yet ; he remarked , their expressions ,. ^ oonfl dence would serve as a retaining for the futuri He then pointed out the causes of'publte mtoery . vte . - ^ excessive taxation—a bad distribution « f wealths wholesale want of employment , by the f ^> f ° * d ?* cbinery anpeweding manaal labour , and all the natural fruit of exclusive legislation , aad antil the prodncert of wealth were represented ,, their miseries would continue . He thea referred to the power of tho people 1 ^ tke « a * of Catholic EmandpaHoa , aad remarked that the Tory Duke and Peel found it vnsafe to withhold a removal

to institute an action for libel against the publisher , Mr . John Murray , in the Coart of King * Bench ; and . though he had the ablest assistance that the bar coatA render him , inthe talents of the present Lord Lyndhmat , Baton Parke , and Baron Gorney , engaged aa hi * conaatt in the caose , he . fonnd it then desirable to ask for meKy at my hands ; and , abandoning all defence of his libellous publication , he instructed his counsel to witkw draw their plea of justification , make a bumble apology in open Court for the injury unjustly done to an honowp . able man , and consent to a -verdict , with costs , betas recorded against him . This was Mr . Mnrrays coorsw on that occasion . .
"The writer of the libellous article wa * subsequently ascertained to be the Mr . William John «««?>•«»¦ , of Corfe Castle—who recently appeared before the poUoa nuuriatntes in London , o second ' time , charged with a nameless offence , having before narrowly escaped conviction for the same impurity—and on the . trial of thic individual , at tha same period with Mr . Morray / for false and libellous imputations , similar to those incorporated in his article in the Quarterly , Review—th » connseL on my behalf being tbe present Lords Abinger ,
Denman , and Brougham , and those on Mr , Bankee * be half the preaent Judges Lyndhnnt , Parke , aad < Qtmqf —the Special Jury , after a trial of ten hours , and tha examination of a hest of witnesses , under the direction of the late Lord Tenterden , twought in a verdict aga&at Mr .
