those persons who presumed to violate the their minds the contents of the paper that had been ready because the defendant was not there to answer a charge of libel on the Goto the vernment, but simply for an offence against in Kingsgate-street, Hol- a particular statute. If the Magistrates deborn, and purchased three papers called "The | cided against him, they would extend a justly Republicum, of the Sovereignty of the People," odious Act of Parlament much farther than and paid one penny each. The paper he now was extended by its author, Lord Castlereagh, produced was dated Saturday, June 4, con- |or than the present Attorney-General, Sir sisted of one sheet, and was stated at the Thouias Denman, said it would extend at the latter end to be printed and published time it was passed. every Saturday, by H. Hetherington, Printer to the People's most excellent Majesty." (A laugh.) The number contained articles of news, and was printed on unstamped paper. The paper was put in, and some portions of it read by the Clerk, Mr. Burnaby. The defendant commenced an address to the Bench by an allusion to the " Whig" Government." Mr. Alley told him his conduct was irregu lar, for nothing had been said about either Whig or Tory Government. Mr. Hetherington said he had nothing to say against his prosecutors, except they were the paid agents of a corrupt Government, and that subject he had much to say. Mr. Alley interrupted the defendant, and told him, if he proceeded in the course he was taking, he (Mr. A.) should press the Court for the higher penalty. Mr. Alley said he had closed his case, and, Mr. Arnold, the Council for the defendant, contended that his learned Friend had failed in proving that this was a periodical publica-on tion. He had only produced one number, and it would be going a great deal too far for the magistrates to say that this was to be taken as a continuation of a series of the same work, when, if it were so, other numbers nright have been produced to prove that fact. Here was no number, nor any other mark on the sheet produced to show it was a continuation, or that numbers of the work had been pub lished consecutively. Mr. Halls: What do you say to the last words in the paper-" Printed and published every Saturday?" Mr. Arnold observed in reply, that there was no proof that it did not mean that the identical paper now produced was printed and published every Saturday, instead of forming one of a series published periodically. He admitted this might be said to be a quibble; but the object of his client was to evade the law, which he considered to be unjust, if possible; and therefore he (Mr. Aruold) had a right to take every objection that presented itself. He felt confident the magistrates would be of opinion, that it was not proved by evidence to be such a publication as came within the meaning of the statute. Mr. Halls said, he only wanted to look at the paper now put in to determine his judg ment; for it appeared upon the face of it that it was published at stated intervals. The Magistrates, after some further conversation, fined the defendant in the miti gated penalty of 57., Mr. Alley stating that he had no wish but to have the practice stopped in the mildest possible way. [A laugh, and cries, "You won't, though!" among the crowd in tlie office.] A second information was proceeded on by Mr. Alley against the defendant, for publishing "The Poor Man's Guardian," a penny paper. The publication was proved, and, after an ingenious address from Mr. Arnold, Mr. Hetherington addressed the Bench. He said that he would not pay the penalties, and the prosecutors might take what course they pleased, for he was determined to resist the efforts of a corrupt Government to sup. press the voice of the people. "If they persist," continued the defendant, "I will throw myself into the gap, and call upon the people to back me." Mr. Halls cautioned the defendant against such intemperate language. The defendant said the law was unjust, was wicked, ought to be treated not as law, but as an excrescence, and he set it at defi The Magistrates inflicted the penalty of 34., as in the former case. Mr. Burnaby, the Clerk.-Do you mean to appeal? Mr. Arnold' said that Mr. Alley had com-ance. mented upon the merits of the prosecutors in adopting the present course, instead of going to a higher Court; but he (Mr. Arnold) could see no clemency towards his client in being called into a smaller arena; and (without dis- Defendant.-I do not recognize the law; respect to the Bench) before an inferior tri-and therefore you can deal with me as a pow bunal; being thus deprived of the privi-erful mau dealing with a weak one, when it lege of the intervention of a Jury, in a ques-is useless to resist.
