NEW MARKET INTELIGENCE Extraordinary. TO Cover this Season, after he has run his Match against Mr. Hicky's famous Horse OLD ENGLAND, that terrible High Bred STALLION. CASSOCK, got by JUDAS ISCARIOT, out of MOLL FLANDERS. This Horse Cassock besides his many capital feats on the Turf, established his Character among the "Knowing ones," by COVERING a famous PHILISTINE MARE for a considerable sum of Money. He Carrys a HIGH FOREHAND - has a great deal of BONE, is full of good HARD MEAT, and in constant Exercise about the Esplanade and Allypore, CASSOCK has in time COVER'D a variety of Black Mares and Fillies, - particularly a strong Black Farssey Mare call'd MATRIMONEY - the Foals of his get are very promising. - This STALLION cuts a very powerfull figure on the SOD, and may be seen daily, taking his walking Exercise before the Court House in order to improve his Wind under the care of GUINEA PIGGGEORGE, one of Lord Poolbundy's STUD GROOMS, who have now CASSOCK in Training. - He is the sole property of Sir Francis wrong-head of Quixote Hall in the County of Poonah, who admires his Figure and Paces much, notwithstanding CASSOCK is ex- cessively Hard MOUTH'd from being very ill Broke, yet Sir Francis's Lady can drive him any where. - He is JET BLACK all over, and the Judges of Horse Flesh declare there is not a finer Beast in all Mr Angelos Stables. CASSOCK would make an excellent Pillion Horse, or a Charger to mount a Field Officer. - Rowel O'Tickle'em Clerk of the Course. P. S. - Particulars of the MATCH to be Run between the famous BLACK STALLION, CASSOCK got by JUDAS out of MOLL-FLANDERS, and Mr. Hicky's well-known Horse OLD ENGLAND, got by MAGNA CHARTA out of a LIBERTY mare the Match is to be run next Tuesday for 40-000 Rupees Play or pay - no crossing or Jostling, CASSOCK is in very high Training but OLD ENGLAND rather scurvely treated by some of L'd Poolbundys FARRIERS who Undertook to Physick him, however it is imagined by all the Jockeys that if OLD ENGLAND has Fair Play, He will Run CASSOCK damn'd hard (Provided theres no Jostle in the business or crossing the course while runing) attempts have been made to striker away the old Rules of Running as set down in Blackstones and Cokes RACING CALINDER. It is well, notwithstanding all this Jockey-ship. if CASSOCK is not thrown out or does not break down, many think he will BE-SH-TT the course, Mr. Hicky's Horse Old England has fine Wind, is a well season'd Horse, and known to have a great deal of courage. Heber Asiaticus, N. B. OLD ENGLAND'S PEDEGREE and qualifications are too well known to need repeating. Mr. HICKY. AS the G-r and C-l in order to stimulate the Prosecution against You (in itself one of the most abominable and Arbitrary CONSPIRACIES, that ever was contrived) have given a Pension of the enormous Sum of 3000 Rupees per Month to Councellor D-s, at the expence of the Proprietors of India stock, and at a period when the Company is groaning under every species of complicated Disgrace and Distress, brought on in consequence of the sagacious Mahratta Quixote-WAR, I beg leave therefore to submit a few plain Queries, both to that very LEARNED and Modest Gentleman Councellor D-s, and to those who are his abettors and supporters in honorably quartering so useless, ridiculous and unseasonable a BURTHEN on the Honest Confiding Proprietors of India

stock for they ultimately pay the Piper to all these wicked movements. Querie the first. — Was this Man who calls himself COUNCELLOR D— is ever known or heard of in any of the Courts of Law or Equity in England, either the Kings Bench Common Pleas — Court of Exchequer — or Chancery — or in any other English Court of Honorable practice Except that petty fogging, WHORE FLEECING, Baliff Defending, Court of iniquitous oppression, call'd the Marshal-sey in the Borough of Southwork.— This Court may be truly said to exist on the MARROW of poor unfortunate Women of the Town. Querie 2d. — As he has 3000 Rupees per Month given him here. (Lord Poolbundy and the Mahratta Don Quixote best can tell for what, or why?)— Did this Mr. D—is (who Pompously calls himself COUNCELLOR D—is) ever earn the sum of 3000 Rupees in his WHOLE PRACTICE, out of that Paultry petty fogging Ignominious, Tyrannical, Disgraceful relief of star Chamber Tyranny call'd the MARSHALSEY Court. Quere 3d. — Was it in this renown'd and honourable Court that he imbibed his Ideas of English Liberty? with his happy Shallowness, Impudence, and Puppyism. For a discription of this Court and its Vulture PRACTIONERS, read Lord Beauchamps humane speech and Motion in Parliament on the 20th day of May 1779 on the hardships of Vexatious and Wanton Imprisonment of the subject, and of Judges demanding Extortionate and Heavy Bail, a practice which the Renowned Councellor D---- is can tell You is the common usage of that Iniquitous PETTY STARCHAMBER. The Grand Jury of Calcutta seem most unfortunately to have put too much by their Tameness in the power of the J--st--s here (I will not call them J--d--s) to imitate, but I hope Mr. HICKY you are made of sterner and braver stuff and too much of an Englishman to submit or Yeild to it; suffer patiently, as Your CAUSE is honest the Day must come and not very far distant that must heap disgrace, Infamy and National Impeachment on the Heads of the Murderous CALCUTTA JEFFREY,--- --- the Mahratta Don Quixot of Bungling fame as a politician that Bankrupt but well Cram'd son of Avarice and Dissimulation CHARLEY BULLOCK and all the rest of the VULTRE GAN. CATO. N. B. Charley Bullock was a Bankrupt in England in Copartnership with one Hass--clea--rs a Dutch Jew --- tho' here he Lords it and is Treasurer over the Company's Property. SINCE the memorable overthrow of liberty by the corrupted host of a more corrupted Caesar, so eminently stamped with the death of the immortal Cato, vice cannot boast a completer triumph over virtue, than the late act of rifling you of your Freedom, and consigning you over to the horrors of, a prison what were the wild distracted ebullitions of a Wilkes compared to the more constant, uniform and uninfluenced perseverance of a H—y? he bellowed liberty through the disorderly medium of tumult and civil discord you published facts in support of it in a Stile, which bespoke the purest regard for your Country. When an address to a free people is composed of melancholy truths the evidence where of is alive in their minds, and the remedy within the power of the Laws, it stimulates them to almost plans of amendment, but in doing it to act with moderation, not so with that which inflames the passions by a blind enthusiasm without clearly detecting the evil.—this last is a tempest in which men lose the rights they contend for.— the first in a distempered Community is a cure the last is poison. How it tortures the ears of a dispassionate man to hear your valuable publications, translated into the false, deceitful language of mercenary Lawyers, and those passages which in the state of reason, and common sense, claim the title of true patriotic generous, noble, and virtuous, contorted by the infernal magic of their raven pens into the false characters of wicked factitious, diabolical, and malicious such dark insinuation might avail where the subject is intricate, but where the truths on which the cause inclines, are recent, and deeply rooted on the minds of a whole community, they must meet the contempt they justly deserve. Nothing should reduce a freeman to despair, if the laws do not redress his grievances, let him appeal to the society of which he is a member; let him address his fellow Citizens as men for the spirit of the people in matters of right is justice, but let those to whom the people have submitted the power of tempering, correcting and modifying, this spirit in behalf of order and domestic quiet, consider how dangerous it is to force it to act for itself.— It is not the ignorant, the indigent Mr. H—y who are your enemies, as that contemptible Scribler Mr. J. L. who from a strange sagacity, and unaccountable foresight into futurity anticipated the sense of J—d J——y meanly insinuates.—It is very worthy member of society men of independent Spirit and fortune but men who possess those fortunes from claims far superior to an adulation, and venal obsequiousness to the will and behests of corrupted, and unprincipled Rulers. Your good friends are comprehended under those who without merit, virtue common sense, or common honesty, from an abject subserviency to the purposes of power, are exalted to situations in Life which nature, or Justice never meant them for, to the exclusion of Men of real worth from Public stations, and the service of their Country, look round you to the Public Offices, and see how they are filled— creatures whose limited abilities would not recommend them to the head of a Country-house in England or Holland are disgracing the first Offices of this Establishment:——But such Mr. H——Y compose the oil which gives motion to the Wheels of a distracted, wicked, and contemptible G——t. To make their fortunes here, it is necessary they become perfect Masters of the Art of Submission, and leaving this Country with their ill gotten hoards, they hasten home and offer their yielding necks to the Yoke of the Minister, thus are the precious liberties of Albion sold.——It is not here, say they as in England, a prudent man must not speak his sentiments, how disgusting a language! as if patriotism was a term of reproach, and the grossest enormities could not be considered as crimes. From this description you will be apt to conclude your enemies are very numerous, I am sorry the complexion of the times gives you so much cause. The Army Mr. H——y as a body that has complaints to prefer, are your friends--- how vain to insinuate that you have been in the least instrumental, in alienating their affections from Military pursuits they may detest the measures; yet prefer the cause, while it in the least involves the interests of their country, a principal which happily the most depraved administration cannot intirely divest it of. Should murmurs in that department ever grow into disaffection let the blame revert to whence it necessarily will originate; with a designing upstart C——y who strives to strip the military life of its chief comforts, a distant prospect of ease and convenience as the reward of the toil and bustle of war. As to any effects which a free censure of public measures might have on the natives, by lessening our Grandea and consequence our power in their estimation, I will observe with such confidence that me thinks I hear the public to a man second me in it that the institution of the S——me C——t of J——ce has in its progress, so effectually accomplished this end, as to leave you, (even supposing you to deviate so far from your own temper, and avowed principles) nothing against and I will farther advance that unless you with all their hungry tribe are banished from this Country, we need not wonder if it ceases to be a Jem, in the B——ch—— C——n. Our local power so much consisted in the Idea the conquered entertained of your superiority that by changing this Idea, we actually loose a part of our power:—yet it is notorious that it has been the uniform business, of the above institution to destroy this Idea, without substituting against the loss of it: the only substitute for so great a deficiency in the scale of power was such a free, un-affected, benign, and engaging course of Justice as might gain the affections of the People, by endearing us towards us as their protectors, and binding their wills by the strongest of earthly ties.—but Sound their Opinions of our C---t of J---ce and reflect on our changed situation. When I consider who presides at a certain T—', I feel an emotion of horror, is he who has sacrificed the Eye of one man, either to incidental convenience, or private interest a fit subject to wear the r—e, which is intended to cover the pure immaculate heart? — is it so difficult to seperate the Idea of J—ce from that of a J——ce, that the mind is perplexed in contemplating that man's Character when we strip him of his r——es and consider him as a man we are equally at a stand. Were his S——n, actuated by the complaints of his people, to take back that confidence he has reposed in him, assuming the dignity of a K—;, pley him with a few test interrogatories, how would he stand appaled? a matchless audacity, which distinguishes his Character, might support him for the moment but public proofs arising from possible interrogations would overwhelm him.—As for example—“ have you always exercised that authority with which I cloathed your capacity in a manner consistent with your ideas of honesty, justice and humanity and so as to render my laws respected? have you strictly firmly adhered to, and kept inviolate the Bonds of fidelity, you laid yourself under to me and my subjects, by rejecting every occasion of promoting your own interest with a sacrifice of your principles, and judicial dignity, and shunning every advantage which has been offered you, either directly or indirectly as a bias to your conduct? have you endeavoured all in your power to preserve harmony, and good order amongst my people, influencing no prevailing party nor erecting any new one of your own? have striven to reduce all discordant interests, to principles of unanimity and public good? have you endeavoured to render the access to justice, as easy as possible, by removing every clog, which might occasionally intrude itself, between you and the complaints of the injured? have your exertions tended to crush vice and encourage virtue.”—The same vitiated principles and depravity of heart, which have supported his carreer might embolden him to utter a barefaced affirmative, but facts would confound him beyond the power of a thousand falshoods to weaken, or even disguise: the public in such replies in store and such tales to disclose as all the world must cry shame upon!——I reserve them for a future occasion, this paper is already sufficiently long. PHILO VERITAS Mr. HICKY. AS you do not chuse to entertain your Readers with the female Anecdotes of Japan, pray accept a continuation of what relates to the other Sex. On leaving the Palace, my mind was deep engaged not only with what was appar

my own senses, but the lively and natural Description of my honest Guide the stiff, unnatural, aukward, Carriage; the rustic untaught motions, added to the intolerable vanity, Pride, and Affec- tation, too visible in all the upper orders of the Court; the distant dread cringing advances, fulsome Epithets, and mean slavish Condescensions, evident in the lower classes would alone be sufficient, to render it more like the Mansion of a cruel tyrannical Turkish Bashaw, than the residence of a powerful Emperor; but the corrupt practices, venal Jobbs, unfair partialities; and Public Robberies, and Peculations in a new and hateful colour lately smuggled into Japan called Contracts under the baneful coverture of which the national Wealth is shamefully embezzled, and what's worse, the Trus- tees of the Public, even the Emperor and Empress themselves, promote and share the general Plunder render it the most execrated Emporium, upon earth for Corruption, Venality, peculation, Bri- bery, Jobbs, going Snacks; and every other Political vice, and evil, that ever ruined a State. Passing thence my guide introduced me to a Hall where the Japanise Magi- strates sat cross legged in different quar- ters my Guide pointed at one, whom he call'd the principal, who happen'd at that time to sit in Judgement on a Japanise Varnisher; who disobliged his Superiors, by exhibiting their vicious actions, and vile Administrations, in strong figures, on his Jars; his caricatures were more pointed at the very Judges who tried him, than any other; People thought it extremely partial, and unfair that they should have any thing to do in his trial, nay the fact was this same Judge who presided there, was mean and cruel enough, to be the Chief Solicitor (underhand) in the Cause, promoting the prosecution, and procuring Evidence against the poor humorous Varnisher; in which he was seconded by his brother Magistrates, who were also caricatured the principal Magistrate was a Native of China, his father was a Tartarian Ped- lar, his Mother a wretched Native of Chinese Tartary, he was bred and lived in the utmost Penury which now ren- ders his Avarice insatiable; no Pluralist so greedy for Livings, as he is for places, and Pensions; no Projectors so fond of Jobs and Contracts; no Broker so dex- trous in the Sale and sharing of Offices, and Emoluments; besides all his dark secret Intrigues, well known to many for encreasing his illgotten Pelf: he keeps a Gaming Table, where those who desire his interest, must loose a fortune with him before they can begin to make one the principal Lady of his Zenanah, hav- ing demands on her Visitors of 4, or 500 Pounds sterling weekly on that Ac- count In my next; You shall have the Varnishers trial with further strictures on this above precious Son of MAMMON. BATAVUS. COPY OF Mr. HICKY'S LET- TER to Mr. Johnson the CLERK of the CROWN RELATIVE to the EXCESSIVE BAIL DEMANDED OF the said J. A. HICKY. SIR, THE measures pursued against me are so singularly harrassing, and oppressive that it seems reserved for this Country, to beat down the fences which the Laws of England has placed to guard the subjects Li- berty, in order to ruin a poor British subject and his helpless family, far re- moved from his King, his Country, and his friends, by overwhelming him with numberless Indictments, and for Misdemeanors only and de- manding Bail of 40,000 Rupees for his appearance to each of them, and this so settled and determined, with- out giving him no opportunity of making his Legal Objections to it. If you'll please to look into Black- stones Commentaries Vol. 1 page 135, speaking of the Habeas Cor- pus Act, he says "Least the Act "should be evaded, by DEMAND- "ING UNREASONABLE BAIL or "sureties for the Prisoners appear- "ance, as it is declared by 1st Wm. "and Mary stat. 2 C. 2 that ex- "cessive Bail ought not to be re- "quired. "Of great Importance to the "Public is the preservation of the "Personal Liberty: for if once it "were left in the power of any the "HIGHEST MAGISTRATES to im- "prison Arbitrarily whomever, he "or his, Officers thought proper "(as in France 'tis daily practised "by the Crown) there wou'd soon "be an End of all other Rights "and Immunities" If you'll please also to look into Hawkins' Pleas of the Crown Book 2 Chapter 15th section 5th under the Title Bail you'll find he says-- "BUT JUSTICES MUST TAKE "CARE that under pretence of de- "manding sufficient surety they do "not make so EXCESSIVE A D- "MAND as in effect amounts to A "DENIAL OF BAIL, for this is "looked upon as a GREAT GRIEV- "ANCE, and is complained of as "such by Wm. and Mary sess. 2d "by which it is declared, that "EXCESSIVE BAIL OUGHT "NOT TO BE REQUIRED." In Modern Reports Vol. 12th page 420 you'll see the Case of the Duke of Chomberg against Murry in the 12th of Wm. the 3d even for SCANDALUM MAGNATUM. "It was moved to have leave "to chargre the Defendant. Mur- "ry being a Prisoner in Newgate "on a second Mag. and also to "answer to a Bill of £100, in order "to hold him to special Bail for "saying that the Duke of Chom- "berg was a Cheat, and had Cheated "the KING and the Army" "Holt Chief Justice.---- That "HONEST WISE JUDGE thus says "the Defendant being a POOR "MAN to charge him thus will be "a PERPETUAL IMPRISSONMENT "to him, and SPECIAL BAIL has "often been demanded on these Ac- "tions, Yet it has been frequently "denied, but he was ordered to find "two that would swere themselves "to be worth £25 each and him- "self to be bound in £100." Now Sir I hope you will be con- vinced that I am treated illegally, and cruelly, all that know me in this Settlement, also know that I am a very poor Man, not worth a Rupee thro' unforseen and unavoid- able Losses and Misfortunes; and they also know, that I am indefa- tigably industrious in my endeavours to deal Honourably with my Cre- ditors and Maintain my poor Infant Family; and taking all this together whether even 2000 Rupees would not be excessive Bail for me; but if 5000 Rupees will be accepted, I believe I can obtain it, and thereby have time to prepare for my defence, if not the Consciousness I have of my own innocence and Integrity, is such; and the horrors of a Prison so dread- ful, that if my offer of reasonable Bail be not accepted, I shall prepare for my defence, and Trial as well as my present unhappy situation will permit, by having a weeks time allowed me for that purpose, after being acquainted with your deter- mination on the subject so as to make it convenient to the Court and my Prosecutors. Waiting the favour of an Answer remains Sir Your Most Obt. Servt. J. A. HICKY. Calcutta Jail 19th June 1781. W. Johnson Esqr. Clerk of the Crown ON PETTY JURIES, THEIR IMPORTANCE AND POWERS WITH REGARD TO THE LI- BERTY OF THE SUBJECT IN ENGLAND. IN the Prosecution of Woodfall (Printer of the Public Advertiser) for Printing and Publishing the Memmorable Letter of Junius to the KING, the Jury brought in a Verdict of Printing, and Publishing ONLY, the conse- quence of which Verdict was, the acquittance and discharge of the PRISONER. Let any Man peruse the Letter of Junius to the KING, surely Mr. HASTINGS can not be considered by the most Venal Parasite, as a greater Man than his MAJESTY, the Bail de- manded for Woodfall's appearance did not e- qual 20,000 Rupees, on what principles or foundation in Law has Mr. HICKY been compelled to find such excessive, and uncon- stitutional Bail as 40,000 Rupees, doubled and multiplied by these for the three several Indictments, an Act as manifestly contrary to Law, as set forth in the Bill of Rights, and declared by LORD CAMDEN in the Case of Mr. Wilkes as it is repugnant to Humanity & Dignity, and Letter of the Laws of our Coun- try, It makes the compliction of the prosecu- tion, and the fears and Predjudices of the Men in Power. It ought to alarm every ENGLISH- MAN in Bengal, and who has any regard for his personal safety or property who wishes not to see a Spanish Inquisition Established (under the mask of Law) in the Town of Calcutta An Enemy to Oppression.

POET'S CORNER. Scipio's Continence. WHEN thus the virtuous Consul had decreed, A captive Virgin to his Tent they lead: In her each Motion shin'd attractive Grace, And Beauty's fairest Features form'd her Face. A Celliberien Prince her destined Spouse, But, more than Interest, Love had bound their Vows, Allucius was his Name. When Scipio heard How fond the Youth, how for his Bride he fear'd; He Summons to his Tribune all her Friends: Allucius in that Number chief attends. To him the Consul most address'd his Word, To him, her anxious Lover and her Lord. " A Youth myself, to thee a Youth I call, " Lest distant awe thy Freer Speech appal. " When to my Tent this beauteous Maid was brought, " When of your mutual Passion I was taught, " And soon her Charms confirmed the Story true " (For Scipio's self could Idolize like you) " Durst I indulge the Character of Age, " And in a youthful, lawful Love engage; " Did not the Commonwealth employ me whole, " And all majestic ROME possess my Soul: " Oh! I could love like thee, like thee cou'd pine; " Like thee cou'd--- But, Allucius, she is thine! " Inviolate have I preserved the Maid; " Not purer in her native Courts she staid: " Pure, as becomes a ROMAN Chief to give; " Pure, as becomes thy passion to receive. " The sole Return for this fair Boon I ask: " To live a Friend to ROME be all thy Task: " And if in me some virtue you have known, " As other Scipio's in this Realm have shown; " Think many such spring from her glorious Womb, " And learn to love the virtuous Sons of ROME.
