The defendant to [hi; aftion had difregarded the injunElions, and had borrowed the finial flim of 21. to recover which the aftion was brought: He undesrflood that none of his Learned Friends were infirigled to defend the fait. Mr. Dickenfon role, and from the &ter of the Court fignified, that in a matter In plain he was competent to his own defence, without any learned affidance. Mr. Gartanw obferved, thAt as this attempt was to be made, it might be right to fay, that the defence let up would probably be, thit the plaintiff was in- Qrutted by the defendant in rite Alt Of gauging, and that for a Eliding, a dipping, and a comparative tole, in additi•n to the lefloni, a charge was to he made. Mr. Pitddercnmbe proved the hint of 21. lent I and on his crofs examination by the defendant, being afked if he would not for p. (wear the other way ? The CHIEF jusTicr cautioned the Excifeman not to infult the witnefs, by afking him if he would commit perjury. Mr. 'l'h• mas, another Excite officer, dep fed, that the plaintiff bad not learnt gauging, and that lie knew nothing of decimal or vulgar arithmetic, which were neceffary to that art. Mr. Dickenfon now addrefTed the Court and Jury, laying, that he could not make a freech like the edu cated Gentleman at the bar ; hut if an Englifh Jut y would be fatisfied with truth 'and fimplicity, he fhould f►icceed as well as if he had a thottfand Conn iet to plead for him.

Atter lime further evi dence to the fame Mr. P time addreffed the Jery on the part of the defendant, contending, that there was no pretence tor charging the defendant with this enormous Into, as the debt ante. to h.co been defrayed by Mr. Sheridan's Committee. It was ridiculous to imagine, that a publican could c laic forward in this way as a partizan of that OLD BAILEY, DECEMBER 4 • hater the younger, , •1 Exeter, whore trial was postponed at the I.tit S. (loins, on account of the ablincent a mateti,ll witnels for the Crown, was this day ;tied upon a capital indiament, founded on the Aft is the sth of George II made to prevent frauds by bankrupts. The Cott:del for the profeention Rated the law, as laid down by the !Louie, which makes it a canital offence for a bankrupt to conceal from his creditors property to the amount °iv:4.cm to fecrete any books or papers touching the true Hate of his effe&s. He laid it went dill fattier, and conflituted the wilful de fault of theb.inkttipt tofu! render himfelf for examina tion to the Commiffionet s at the times prefcrihed, and from time to time, as required by the Conimiflinners, a capital felony. The leading fiats of this cafe were as follow :—The prifoner was formerly a forge ma. nufaelitret a , Exeter, and he became embatraffed in his affairs. Amongit other creditors he was indebted to Mcffra. Rego, Bstti, and Cr. brokers, in London, in the turn of 830. ; and, at their intiance, as peti tioning creditors, a cornmiin in of bankritp:cy was ilfued againtl the prif nor, who was duly declared a bankrupt, and was requited as uturthofurrender hurl fell at Guildhall, London, on the 4th April anJ two other days. The ptitotter did attend the fill meeting, mid folicited farther time for giving in his accounts. He attended a fecond, and alto a third meeting, and was equally unprepared, when he intreated for a far them enlargement of tint:. 'lbis the Commillionet s were not aulhotiled to do, the power being yelled by law in the Chancellor only. However, upon a peti- I lion to his Ltirdfliip, hacked by the creditors, a fat- I titer term of twenty-eight days was given to the oi 1-toner, and the Chancellor's order required him to fur tender bets eon the hours of eleven and one o'clock on the 13th of Jane. By that time it appeared, that the pi ifonet's debts amounted to the enormous turn of 23,c001. ; but the returns he then made were wholly untatisfaetory: he agsin (Ached farther time, and the Commiffioners, by their own Aft, indulged the pt itOner by adjourning the meeting farther until the 4.11 of July. Still the prifoner's returns were i not complete; and the Commiffinners were bound either to commit him to Newgate, or to enlarge the time Hill fat titer. They agreed to indulge him with a; farther period of fix weeks, but this for the lafl time. On the day thus appointed, namely, the 18 h of Au gull, the Commiffioners attended at Guildhall. The prifoner was bound under the letter of the Lord Chancellor's order to attend the meeting, afterwards adjourned by the Commiffioners, be tween the bouts of eleven and one o'clock; however he never made his appearance at any time of this adj turned day,althnngh he was told on the preceding evening by the Solicitor for the Commiffion, in anfwer to his enquiry, that if he did not attend on the next day at the hour required, he would incur the guilt of a capital felony, and be ptofecuted thereon. The Commiffi nets waited until pallltwo o'clock, and then proclaimed him as guilty of a wilful default of Curren deringhisnfelf, and fubmitting to his final examination, thereby incurring the charge of a capital felony under the fiatute ; and-evett after this, the Commiffioners , Clerks and Meffengers continued at Guildhall until I pall twelve that night, and the ptiforier never air peared. It was underflood he had been ken in Guildhalllyard on the morning of the ifilth of Augu ft, but did not think tit to await the meeting of the Commiffioners, and fled to the neighbouthood of I Greenwich,• where he took lodgings, accompanied by a female, under the Ahmed name of Mortimer, difguifing his, appearance with a black wig and a huge ' pair of whiflcers, and was there taken under a war rant from the Lord Mayor. Vsritneffes were then called to prove the debt due to the petitioning creditors, and the written evidence produced was dole)) , examined with the averments of the in iiament. The circumstances preceding the lafl fitting of the Cornmiffioners were then proved, from which it re• fulled, that the non attendance of the prifoner was wilful, and after due notice given of the confequences to It imfelf. Several wizneffes were called up and examined on poi4ts that wererendered unimportant from the tarn the trial took. A variety of legal objeßions were Tirade by. the prifoner's Council. k Baron Gainaos, who prefided, decided on the firft point urged by the prifoner's Counfel, that it was nee ; calif) , on the trial to had been proved befopremtvhe again eComm ib iL lia ne ra ts; cwohni;ih-, stating the prifoner's criminality—that the averment in the indifirnent refpetling the adjudication of the Commiflioners on the 18th af fitly, was fubflanuallY but one avastintl . and the:ewe that it was not ne ceffary to prove again before that Court the fade already proved befo.e the Commitlioners, whole jurifdittion mull be held competent on the cafe. Another point urged by the prifoner's Cnnnfel war, that there was no proof of perfonal notice in writing ferved upon the prifoner, requiring his fur render on the 4th of April, although he did attend; nor yet on the tBth, when the Commillioners ad. judged. Therefore, as the very fiat proceeding, the fuyatenr of the whole, was not fuflained in evidence as required by the laft, the delta molt therefor evi• tiate all the fithrequent proceedings. The Cainfel for the profecution, however, argued, that as there was proof that the prifoner had attended the firft meeting and reduced the fummons thereat, he had adopted the competency of the fervice. The Court thought there was evidence to go to the Jury upon this point ; and with refpea to the fubfe- Tient meetings, nn written notice was neceffary, as it was to be fupp-fed the prifoner would attend every meeting, and receive verbal notice of the next. The prifoner being called on fur his defence, noted, that he was deterred from attending the meeting of the t Bth of Auguft by Mr. Sari 1, the Solicitor for the Commillion, who told him on the 17th he would do all he could to hang him, at d that when he mien. eied next day he &mid be taken up for forgery ; that of courfe he was afraid to attend ; and that he on that day wrote to the Comm;ffioners, and to fevers[ of his creditors, flatiag his readinefs to meet them, and finilh his examination, any ether time, at any pri vate place they fhould apvint. The notice nriginally recei'etl by the prifuner for his furrender on the 4th of April, was now put in by his Counfel ; which being aftellecl by the Commif. (toners in Court, and read by the proper officer, it was Inund that in that pat t of the lumfnons which defcribid the date of the bankruptcy, inttead of fiat• ing the year t Se 7, it was dated in the words one tilde burilred and !even, °mi. ti..g the word " rboufiiad." It was contended, that this date rendered the de fcription of the (Lone utterly indefinite ; that the notice was therefore will and void, and confequent• ly that this indiement could not be maintained. Both the Learned Judges were decidedly of this opinion, and laid there was an end of the indiament. Baron GRAHAM Alfa adeed that there was another nbjectian in this cafe which nruck him, upon further deliberation, namely, that if the authority "'cried in the Commiflioners by the firft clanfe, for the 42 days, was revived by the fubfequentinlargement of the Lord Chancellor to the day on khich his Lord fhip appointed the further meeting, it was a quell lion, 'ditcher the Commiflioners, by allowing two fullfequent enlargements of their own authority, had not thereby let the partner mot of the penal predict'. ment?—The Jury were directed, of courfe, to acquit the prifoner.
