* • SUMMER ASSIZES. EXETER, AUUUST 5. HOUSE OF COMMONS' PROSECUTION. BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION AT BARNSTAPLE. TILE EISO V. SIR MANASSEIL MASSCII LOPEZ. Mr. MOORE opened the pleadings, and stated ge malty the various counts in the information charg- ' ing the defendant with various acts of bribery and corruption in order to procure his retarn for the Bo rough of Banistaple. The points attempted to be ectablished on the part of the prosecution will be found fully detailzd in the evidence: it will be, there fore, unnecessary to enter into a minute derail of the several charges. Mr. Serjeetia PELL opened the case on the part of the proeecutien ; but at the late hoer at which the trial closed, it is impossible to give even a faint out line of his statement to the Jure. The Learned Ser jeant observed, that this was an information directed by the House of Commons, calling to its aid tite as si,tance of the Crown for this pat:settler purpose.— The charge was that of bribery and corruption, and it. charged the defeadant by so cleieg with violating the freedom of election to the Ilouse of Cnnimoas— the guardians of the public rights ; :tad the House of Commons as such, on a consieennionnf the n ans. actions, had thought it absolutely necessary that the case should be submitted to a Jury. Ile would ab stain fiom any observation which did not. apply to the direct purpose of the case ; and would-only state that at the election for Barnstaple, which took place on the 18th June, 1818, the candidates were Sir Ma nasseh ;Wessel: Lopez, Mr. Ommaney, and Sir Henry Thompson; and that Sir Manasseh Lopez and Mr. Ommaney were the successful candidates. Sir H. Thompson had petitioned, and upon that petition the Committee decided that Mr. Ommancy was duly elected, but that Sir Manasseh Lopez was not duly elected, because he had been guilty of acts which rendered his election void. Upon the special Report of the Committee, proceedings took place in the House, and ultimately this prosecution was directed. The Learned Seejeant adverted at considerable length to the present state of the country, as calling upon Juries to enforce the existing lows, which were fully adequate in themselves, if properly executed, to keep the British Constitution in all its purity and freedom. Against this purity and freedom, as regarded the election of persons to legislate in the great body of national representatives, the defendant had cemtnit ted an offence which was criminal in its nature, and which, if countenances, would b.e destructive of the dearest rights of the kingdom. The Learned Ser jt t entered into a long discussion upon the conse quences of suffering sech a crime to pass unpunished, and then proceeded to call his witnesses, whose exa minations a:given at length. Mr. Raven produced a copy of the writ and return of Barnstaple, in the late general election ; and also a return in 1679, to spew that Barnstaple was an an cient Borough ; also returns in 1761, 1784, 1602, and 1806 ; also the deed between the Shctitf of De von and the Mayor of Barnstaple. Mr. Ralph Barnes.—l was Under Sheriff to Sir William Templer Pole, the Sheriff; 1 received the writ and issued that precept ; no part is written by myself; it is the original precept issued to the Mayor of Barnstaple ; it has the Sheriff's seal ; I issued the precept on the 12th of June. Cross-examined.—l can speak from memory to its being early in June, and abort the date specified. The precept and return were read. Robert Walmsley produced the poll-hook from . the Houre of Lords ; he brought it by leave of the' House of Lords. William Thorn.—This is the poll book for the last election at Ilarnseiple ; I was the poll clerk ; the poll only lasted one day, the 18th of Jute. • John Gribble.—l live at Barnstaple ; I am a ban ker there, and have been so ever since the death of my brother in 1309 ; I have two partners, Zachary Hammett Drake and John Marshall ; I am well ac-, quainted with the Borough ; the right of voting is in freemen born free, or made so ; there are 570 free men ; more than 500 vote for members; lam a voter, and voted at the last election fur Sir M. Lopez; 1 was agent for him ; there are about 160 resident voters ; I told the House of Lords so ; I have known Sir Manasseh Lopez many years; I remember the last election, and shall always remember it ; my friend was elected ; I gave him my %rite ; I saw Sir Ma nasseh Lopez every day from the 10th June till he left Barnstaple after the election ; the election was du a Thursday, and he left Barnstaple on the Sunday following ; he consulted with me about his election ; no particular plan had been determined upon. I keep n;oney with Esdaile and Co. in town ; £2OOO, the first payment, was made to me through that house ; I du not know whose money it was; how should I know? 1 mean seriously to say, that I did not know Sir Manasseh paid it in. Sir i%. Lopez was to have repaid the money I had advanced ; I paid the expenses of the election at Barnstaple, and be of course was to repay me, after the election was over. I that Sir M. Lopez was to pay the money ; he gave me a paper before the election ;. on the 10th, the day be came to Barnstaple, he gave me the pa per. and said the election ought not to cost more than that sum ; I said, it could not be done for the money ; I have never seen the paper since ; Mr. Law and the Rev. Mr. Ratcliffe were present ; we then put down on a paper what we considered the expense of the election would be; Sir Masseh said he would not expend that sum of money ; I said that if there were only two candidates, the expense would not be so much ; Sir M. did not take away the paper ; I am sure it was destroyed ; £3200 was the sum named in the last paper ; Sir M. L. tuck away the first paper. I never saw it afterwards ; we calculated the out voters after the rate of £2O each ; I paid 15 ortl6oo to the out-voters ; a sum was put in for the out voters, I think £3 ahead ; it was certainly not £3 among them all ; I cannot recollect whether it was £3 or 1:4 ; bat I am rather disposed to think it was ; he said he would not expend that sum of money. but would leave Barnstaple. I told him that if there were only two candidates, there would not be to much expense for out-voters ; he said—" I will not' have is. expended that will endanger my seat." 1 tcld Sir M. Lopez that £3 were given at the preced iug election, and I asked .him to do the same ;—he made no reply ; I do net think be heard me ; 1 paid e:304-8 and 'scene odd shillings for the - expenses of the election ; I have been repaid the money . ; it was paid i nt o Eaciaile's by Sir a Lopez's bankers, I appre- hend ; I had no other demand upon Esdaile's far'.: that sum on anysother account ; I received the money s i 'pa the ` 4 '.51 of June, just after the election. I have seen Sir M. Lopez frequently since; I was net likely to ask him for money after it was paid ; I sent him the account, and the balance was paid into Esdaile's house ; I kept the election accounts in a separate book, which is not in existence ; I chose to destroy it ; I destroyed the book at nine o'clock on the 10th day of Mky last ; I seas examined in the House of Commons ; I produced the book then ; I was also examined in the House of Lords ; I said then the book had been destroyed, but I should have kept the book, if I had been desired so to do ; the book con tained the bills pai.i, and; in fact, the whole expenses • of the election ; I know a person of the name of Wil kinson ; he .is a hair-dresser, and keeps a cheese • monger's shop ; I paid him about £391) out of the £3048 ; I employed Wilkinson under me to superin tend the minor part of the election ; I had employed . him before ; I sent him in May before to give a sup , per to the voters at the different towns where the freemen lived ; he had 1,75 for himself ; there were tsso other suppers at Barnstaple ; after the election there were several election dinners, lind the cz,st of a horse killed ; I canvassed for Sir M. Lopez ; Wil kinson went one day with us into the back lane to spew us the freemen , Sir M. Lopez kidged with a • person of the name of Reynolds, who is one of my clerks, and keeps a lodging-house ; I paid all the voters that were paid ; I paid 39 in-voters £5 a piece ; Wilkinson only was present when Mary Tossell, the . wife of one of the freemen, was there ; I gave Wil kinson the £5. Mary Tossqll went away with him; she owed an old debt. Cro s-examined by Mr. ScriC:ll , . Lrs:s.—The book was my own book ; Sir Manasseh Lopez never saw the books ; Sir M. Lopez was not privy to the de struction of the bOok ; he did not know there was such a hook in existence ; there was nothing in the book to hurt any iaociv. employed Wilkinson as a servant ; as far as I know‘ Sir M. Lopez never com ' municated with Wilkinson ; the last supper at Barn staple was on the Bth of June, I was present ; after that I told Wilkinson not to give suppers ; if there had been any afterwards, I must have known it.— The election was proclaimed on the 13th. Sir M. Le pea looked at one paper ; he looked at the paper, and when he saw the amount, he said he would not pay it, but would leave Barnstaple ; Sir M. Lopez is very deaf, and I believe he did not hear what I said ; about the £3 at the former election ; Sir M:s paper was £2lOO, or I'*22(X); he said, " 1 will not give one ;shilling that should endanger my seat ;" these were all the words used ; I put the £9 or Ea, as calculat lag some few of the voters would have that ; his ob jection was to the whole expense ; he never said a word about the five pounds, but I cannot say lie did not see that entry. Re-examined.—Unon oath, I did not know the House of Commons had ordered the prosecution be fore I destroyed the book ;. I saw Mr. Malik at Barn staple. lath April; this is like a note I received from Mr. Maule ; I must ha. a known then that the House bad ordered the prosecution. William Gay.-1 am a freeman of Barnstaple ; voted at the last election far Sir M. Lopez and Mr. Ommaney ; I know IVilkinson he is a hair-dres,er, barber, farmer, and cheesemonger; I was there when the election was proclainlel, in a room adjoining Wilkinson's house, about the 'middle 1.1 the day.

Grib ble were present. ' Arf objection was taken by Mr. Serjeant LENS to a question which tended to prove 'Wilkinson as an agent; and a long discussion ensued between Mr. Serjearit PELL, Mr. GAsELEE, Mr. HARRIS, and Mr. MOORE, on the, part of the prosecution ; and by. Mr. Serjeant LENS, on the part of the defendant: the ob jection was to 2 certain extent overruled. Continued.—l made no demand upon Wilkinson ; I saw Wilkinson before the election, ,and asked him if any thing was to be had before the election? He told me there was not, nor did he promise me any thing after the election; I received something after the election, but it was not promised by any one. Nicholas Greenslade—l am a freeman of Barnstaple. I recollect hearing the writ cried; I think it was on a Saturday; I know Wilkinson very well; I know a room that joined to his house; Wilkinson used to employ me; I was there after the Saturday, the same as before; I saw persons in his house afterwards ; some were freemen, and some non-freemen ; I have seen ten or a dozen there before now; I 'do not know what they were doing in particular; they were sit ting round a table, and drinking a glass of beer or so; Sir M. Lopez was a candidate; I cannot recol lect whose health they drank; (on being pressed)-1 have heard them drink Sir M.'s good health; I know two persons of the name of Knill ; I have seen them about the house; they both live in Barnstaple, and are voters; I know John Tossel; there are two of that name who are voters; they are uncle and ire phew; I have seen the old one there; the young one is the husband of Mary Tossell; I swear I never saw him there; I saw Edward Harris there; but cannot recollect whether it was before or after the writ was'• cried; I know William Howard, and one Jones. I also know the Jeenes; I have seen two of the bro thers, but am not certain whether it was before or after the writ was cried; I was there constantly. I know Sir M. Lopez by sight; I saw him at Wilkin son's once ; Mr. Gribble was with him ; Wilkinson might have been in. the house; I saw them in the passage, coming out; I believe this was before the writ was cried have seen Sir Manasseh Lopez near the door. Mr. Baron Gnanast.—Come, come! young man, let us have a litrte more truth and less hesitation. Continued.—l cannot recollect seeing Sir M. Lopez there at different times; but I have seen him in the street at different times; Mr. Gribblc, Mr. Wil kinson, and other Gentlemen were with hint ; Sir M. Lopez never canvassed me that I recollect; I did not vote (Or Sir Lopez ; some one in his presence asked M. .me for my vow, but I always vote inde;endent— (Alaugh in Court)—l think Mr. Gribble Aced me ; it•is so tong ago, I have forgot it ; I d•;.,k Wilkinson and Sir Manasseh were by when Cribble asked me ; I voted for Sir H. Thompson. Mary Tossell—l am the wife of J. Tossell, who Iris a vote for ILrnstaple; I know the house of Mr. Vs% i Benne% where Sir M. Lopez lodged; I have been, there ; but I cannot iecollect whe:her it was before nr I after the last election; I have seen Sir M. 1.0t,?z there ; I was there only once; I knew Mr. J. Glidile; I saw him there at the same time; I knew Vi'nkia son ; I cannot recollect who sheaved me up stairs to Sir 31. I cannot recollect that I saw any person at the door ; Sir M. was up stairs; I cannot rect.ileet how I came to know he was up stairs. Mr. Baron onAITANLI advise you to have a bet ter memory, or I shall be obliged to send you to some other place. Continued.—l have heard the Committee-room was there; I am sure I went up stairs; I cannot re collect why I went up stairs, and not to any other part of the house ; I did not stay a moment ; I swear na person went out of t i tre room with me ; I spoke to Mr. Gribble, but I cannot recollect what passed ; I did - not go to speak to any person in particular; I have been often there; I was acquainted with the ser vant: my fi lend, tae servant, was not in the room Ivith Sir M. Lopez. Mr. Baron GRAHAM.—This is too bad, young wo man: it cannot be suffered; you must have a recol lection of what passed. Continued.—Mr. Gribble said he would give me something for my husband's loss of time in supporting Sir Manasseh, and a present for myself; I cannot re collect when this was ; I had not seen my husband for several weeks; after the election commenced, I went again to Mr. Rennell's house; I know Satah Harris, who went with me; we saw Mr..h!al Wilkinson ; we borrowed some money of Wilkitwin; he lent us a one 1 pound note a piece; that was in Rennell's house; at anylime he would lend me meney ; he lent it. to us directly ; I never saw Renceil there at all ; nobody was there besides Wilkinson ; I went to Mr. Gribble's on the Monday after ; it was ahnut fire or six days between borrowing and going to Gribble's ; I went to Gribble's for the money for my husband's loss of time ; Wilkinson calls us debtors for the pound notes; I went alone to Mr. Gribble's ; Mr. Wilkinson was there ; I did not speak to Mr. Gribble, nor Gribble to me ; Wilkinson said my husband owed him some thing, and he would go and settle ; I newer saw any money ; I did not see a five pound note in the house; I did not bear any conversation between them ; I was examined before the House of Commons, but I cannot recollect what 1 said. Several other witnesses were called on the part of the prosecution, who deposed to the same effect. On the part of the defendant, Mr. Serjeant LENS, who was specially retained, made a most able speech, in which he contended that upon the evidence no case had been made out, except the Court might say that with respect to Mary Tossell the 6th count had been made out, the 6th being a general count ; and he submitted that the evidence given could not even support that 6th count. It was impossible for the Jury to place any reliance upon the testimony given •by Mary Tossell, from the way in ; , :lrich that evi dence was given. This was the only point in which the record had been made out ; and by the evidence of Mr. Grilible, whom he should call, that testimony would receive a most decided contradiction. J. Gribble.—l saw Mary Tossell at the house of E.ennell; many people were there ; I do not know whether Sir M. Lopez was there; I never promised any thing to Mary Tossell;' she came up to the Com mittee-room door ; I never said I would give her something for her husband's loss of time, or a pre rent for herself. Closs•eramined.—l gave her a El note after the election ; I gave Wilkinson money for her husband I do not recollect whether Wilkinson was present when she came into the room. Mr. Serjeant PF.Lt replied, and commented with great force upon the nature of the evidence given, contending that the crime had been most circum• stantially brought home to the defendants. Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up the case with tin utmost impartiality. Ile defined the nature of thi crime, and explained to the Jury how it was sop• ported by the evidence, leaving it to the Jury to sa; whether, under the circumstances adduced, the per. sons brought forward had acted in voting upon ai expectation, by promise direct or indirect, being hel out to them. The Jury, after being out a considerable time, re , turned a verdict at the Judge's lodging, at elevei o'clock, of Not Guilty. EXETER—DEVONSIIIRE, AUGUST 4. The Court sat at Nisi Frills, at eight o'clock thi morning, and continued at business till half past five but not one single case was submitted to the Jar: the whole day. A cause respecting the property ii a hedge consumed several hours yesterday, and about three hours this morning. It ended pretty nearly a! it began, with the exception, that the costs of th( defendants, though feoffees of a Charity, will amount to full fifty times tire value of the property sough to be recovered. There was also an almost everlast ing case of " Elworthy the late High Sheriff the County," for extortion on the par:: of one his Officers upon the execution of a writ of Carii ad satiyhriendum. It had nothing very reinar, able about it except the regular::.y with whist the Counsel for the defendant objected to ever question propounded by the Counsel for the plaintiff which objections were as regularly, after a long di: cussion upon each, over-ruled by the Learned Judge It was finally agreed to take a special verdict for tin future consideration of the Court above. C RINI. CON.--A little innkeeper, in Leeds, who In outlived the vigour of youth, has got into an unfit tunate predicament. Ile took a neighbour's wife int some empty premises adjoining his house, on 'l'm day night last. Some one, who had watched th actions, quietly Iccked the door upon the frail coup and immediately gave notice, not only to the it keeper's wife (who is about twice the size of her in band), but also to th:: husband of the unforzum fair one._ The consequence was an instant Uisc..wei and a grand battle among a:I the four panics mi interested in the affair.
