A bill was found on Thursday last, by the Grand

Jury of the Central Criminal Court, at the Old Bailey, against Alexander Baring, now Baron Ashburton, Francis Baring, and Humphrey Mildmay, on an in- dictment preferred by Thomas Kinder. The indictment charged the defendants with a conspiracy to bribe certain members of the Legisla- ture of a Foreign State (Mexico, it was understood) to pass a bill to prevent foreigners holding land there, in order to deprive the prosecutor. one Thomas Kinder, of the advantage of a contract entered into be- tween him and the defendants. The Recorder, when the bill was pre- sented, intimated that it was a ease in which that Court, in his opinion, had no jurisdiction.—Standard.
