Minuet otthit kt.,*iit.Ot be my inclination to po one late pat isrAkViay i hi. any observations I may have to n5 . 44#4 Piot itr ther . ffischarge of my public duty, Pani. 6eliddqoJ f ily before you the leading facts,. anditroffei.Sticli-remaks as the nature of the offence requites. Thrlaw has made .it capit'al for any perion to send a letter signed with any name, or signed-Avith a fictitious name, requiring money of •the p a rry 1 0 whom it is addressed; and it is als9 a crime tor any person to .send a kiLet, though not requiring , tnorey, if it threateas great violence to the party. — On the present occasion, the later which has just been read to you from the indictment, will be the princi,pai subject of your inquiry ; and if I am r ight.in my interpretation or that letter, it contains not only demand ot money—tor we are not now Acs be told, that a Bulk note does not come within the statute — but also a threat to the individual tr. sihorn ;t is ad dressed. The prosecuttis is a Lady at gteat respec tabilig, fir advanced in .lile, and labouring under many mfir tnities ; it was most likely, therefore, that she would be stro..gly affected by receiving a letter of this description. she, is by no meant desirous, liowt:ser, to have it supposed that she . wishes to pur sue the prisoner :it the bar with, any personal ven geance ; and when I say there exists a relatismship be tween them, you will give me credit for being in ciiaed to forbear (trim any thing which the justice of the case does not require. It was impossible„ situated as the prosectitg's was, that she could have the most distariestirmise that the prisoner could be implicated in such a transaction. It is not necessary tar me to prove that the letter was written by the person who sent it—if it was wtitten by any other person, still, it you believe that it • was sent by tie prisoner at the bar, sufficient will be done to convince you ot her guilt. It contains the essential of the crime, either "as a dem and of money, or as a threat. .It begins, with some observations as to an aunt, but whether such ?. person really existed I am not aware. It then proceeds to state, that_in consequence of some rnis tottuces, the writer has become quite desperate, and • mast have sE3O immediately. This sum the prose corris is ordered to' send, or she must abide the con seciiieuees, which she will have cause to repent, for the writer has been at Tiverton and examined her house; and as the writer is positively Pesolved to do what.she has threatened, the prosecutris is desrred to ask net servant, whether it is not, better to part with £3O, and to aterp in quiet and peace, than to keep her money, and . neirer go to bed without the dread of thieves and fires Under this threat the is required to send three sell) Bank of England'notes, addressed + to Mr. John Calvert, post Office, Bristol, which is not the writer's‘nairie, but the letter will be sure to:arrive with thAt direction. On the envelope the prosecution • isfor!ii:Uert, if she values ber.lite and Safity, to cam iniunicate the contents to any living creature. Now, as to the history it the aunt, whether it be true or 'false is perfectly intivraterA ; I know nothing. ot the fact. Supposing, however, it were true, it is a means of using .4n.lue 1• flue-nee to extort money froth the person to whom it is address. d : it false, it is a meaus of leading astray the party, in order that the writer may elude detect' . This letter has the post mark of Taunton upon it, and reall prove to you that it errs sent by the pri.oner at the bar. The prosecutrixo , as I :i.tee already stated, is a person infirm in health, . and vouch advanced-in age—she does not, therefore, Usu a lly open her own letters, which are read to her by-a . servant. Matti this letter arrived, it wac accnr &ugly opened and read, and, as might be naturally • expected, it had the effect of exciting so much alarm 'in the lady, that she was induced to send a reply to this John Calvert, in the following words— Mr. Gurrono, one of the prisoner's Counsel, here rose and submitted, that the contents of this letter could not be read, unless the. Learned Gentleman tad evidence that the original letter reached the pro securtir. Mr. Justice Houtovn said, that if the Counsel for the prosecution th , .nglit they could bring it home, he could not prevent its being read. Mr. 'nesKlN continued, 4, Gentlemen, I will not state the contents of this letter at present. . A few days alter, the prosecittrit received another letter, signed ‘, John Calvert," in these words " Madam—l have been detained front home by very severe uttasioned by poverty aril detpair, on 1 si.ould have set It ten you briatre. If you will send me the sum I have required of You k.C.O) by the return of pout, 1 will promise you never to ttiolOt you, or to arply to you in the *attic way again: but it is of ao use to oEer me less than that, for I will make no promise for a smaUer sum than Xtxt: If you do nut send it, you must . elude the eortsequincts. It my father had not befriended your • suat, she would never have Iteetral.te to return front Holland.— Blow I advise you, for your twin safety sake, to send rue the ,e immediately. I beg you will get a 220 Batik of England note ' anaaoClo. Seat the letter firmly, and at .he ends also; anti direct as your last,, Mr. John Caivert, poste see, Bristol, till called for.-1 am, adan:, your bumble servant, " Bristol, July 17. " )(MN CALMT..' eoGetitlemen, thisletter was received by Miss Hewett, the prosecute ix, by the common conveyance of the post ; and as she now began to be truly alarmed, she consulted with her friends, to endeavour, if possible, to tame it. In consequence, a person was dispatched .-go Bristol with the cover of a.letter directed to John Cialvert, and with instructions to watch, and see what person would call for letters so directed. inquiries were also made at the post-office, and there another letter was found, directed to the Chiel Clerk of the Office, and signed John Calvert. It. stated, that John Calvert intended being in . Bristol, and not . knowing white his residence wouldbe, had ordered his letters to be directed to the office; but being.pre vented from going thither, he would esteem it a favour it the clerk Would forward them to him at the post. office, Columbton, Devon. A one-pound note was enclosed as a fee for his trduble, and he was requested•te acknowledge the receipt by the first post., In consequerge of a communication with the Post • m at ter at Bristol, the letters were redirected, -and forwarded to the Post-office at Colunibto'n, and a person was directed to wait there and see who came for them. During the whole of the following day no person came; but on the 29th of Arty, Mary Flay . appeared at eke office with a letter, which contained alt request that any letter for Mr. Calvert should be forwarded in the cover •which was erclesed to the Post-master for that purpose. The letters were ac cordingly sent, and constable then took Mary Flay into custody, with the letters in her possession. On being taken before a Magistrate, she stated, that she 'wits sent by her mother; and her mother was em ployed by Ann Barry. Of quitnstock, who isu servant • et the prisoner stud Ann Berry will state .that she , ieceiVed fh 9 &flit from lfer inkteesi's hand. o•, far, Gentlemen, we have traced the lettepto thb saner at the by. It she had -no knowledge of the.; first letter, it would be one of the Most extraordinary circusostanceinn earth- that she should send to receive letters diretted to John Calvert. How should 'the know that any letters were coming for john Calvert, or what had she to do with John Cal/ten ? It is not_ possibla to'bring evidence of • the prisoner's sending the first letter; but /heti we find her so mixed up with this transaction--when- you find he name of John Calvert pervading the whole of it, it seems to warrant hut one inference—and that is, that the ori ginal letter could only have been sent by the prisoner. It is not tube expected that oiore time circumstantial evidence could be givzln of this ; 'but if from strong and irresistible circumstances you find she was the only person who could have written this letter, it will be your duty tofind her guilty. Gentlemen, I have now stated the outlines of the circomstanc's we snail have to lay before you in evidence ; and I'can only say, that nothing will be more gratifying to the pro. eecutrix if the prisoner at the bar can give any thing like a satisfactory Account so as to entitle her to your acquittal. Mary Gunner was then called. and examined by Mr.Wiatatas, theaaher Counsel for the prosecution. Witness lived. with Miss Ann Hewett at 'fiverten.— Miss Hewett Was nearly 80 years of age, and of a very delicate constitution. Witness was in the habit of taking in her letters, and of transacting her busi• ness she had always opened and read her letters to her for years past remembered the letter coming on the 6th of July, and slifauld know it if she saw it again.—(Here the letter was handed up to the wit ness, and identified.)-On the receipt of . this letter she read it to Miss Hewett, who desired her to write anamswer, which she sent by the post to the Bristol Office, as requested. On the 20th of July she received another letter for Miss Hewett, in the same hand writing- as the former, repeating the threat. She then addressed a blank cover, and sent it, as before, to Mr. John Calvert, Brim' Office, till calltai for.— There was nothing in the inside, but she enclosed a sheet of paper, to snake it look like a double letter. Cross-examined by,Mr. GlFlreiltD.—The letter on the 6th of July was brought to Miss Hewett's house by a girl. After witness had lead it, she gave it to Miss Hewett, but saw it again every day It was kept open on the dressing-taLle in her Lady's bed- ` room. The same girl brought the second letter, which was put on the same table. The letters- were sent to 13tistol by•the person who went to the Office about last Tuesday fortnight. Witness saw them again at Tiverton last Monday : she went to &met with the person who was sent : the letters were then in her possession : she showed them to the Guide. man at the Office, and took them back into het own custody : the Attorney had them for a day or two. Re examined by Mr. WILLIAMS was the gill who usually twines letters frem the Post-office, and who carries them to the did'. rent per-antis in the town. Witness knew them again by having put her initials on them the day' before she went to Bristol; could have sworn to them without the initials, having exa mined them so much betere : had never before seen any letters of that desciiption about the house : they were kept in a bedroom of Miss Hewett's : the old servant, and no other person except Miss Hewett and herself, had access to that room knew they were the same letters that the little girl brought to her mistress's. John llawe, Postma'ster of Taunton. examined by Mr. Toarcue.—Had been postmaster of thitilare for -sixteen years.—['fire first letter was here handed to the witness.] The Taunton post-mark was on it, :Ind it was taxed by himself = it was immediately put into the hox, according to the direction, and forwar ded the same evening in the Tiverton bag; could not recollect what hour of the day it yeas put in: ditl.not know when it reached Tiverton. Cross-examined by Mr. T. Moone, ere other Coun sel for the prisoner.a-The only reason for knowing it was forwarded was the general practice of the office: seldom sent less than 255. worth of letters to Tiverton daily: could mitten who put in that letter : knew nothing of it, except what was common : the stamp was kept on his sorting-board: a sworn letter.cat tier sometimes assists in stamping letters, bpi witness always taxed them himself: the t ffice and box were always kept locked: had a son and daughter : the latter assisted in sorting letters, but the former had nothing to do with the business. Reteximined.— The charge on the leper was made by himself. Always charged the letters himself on . the• day they were put into the t.ffice. They were first stamped and then charged. The letters went in the ordinary course. Mr. Grfronti.-6 , My Lord, in this stage of the proceeding, I beg to submit an objectioti,*whieli ap plies to all the counts that set out the letter. The indictment states, that she sent a letter to Miss Ann Hewett., of the tenour following. Then it sets out the letter. But they go on to state in the indictment as part of the letter that which is written on the en. velope, wlficb, I submit, is no part of the letter, as it refers to the letter itself, in• these wotds: • before you open this letter.' This is written, not on the in ternal part of the envelope, but on the external part of it. The whole language shews that the other is the letter, and what is written on the envelope is quite a separate matter. I submit to your Lordship, that, this forms no part of the contents of the letter: it is not considered by the writer as such." • Mr. Justice Houtoen.—. 44 That which yoU refer to is written within 'that which contains the letter, and I think the whole of it forms only one letter. It is on a separate sheet; but it is not necessary that the whole of a letter should be written on one sheet of paper. I have frequently received long letters from the East Indies on several ibeets of paper, but they constituted only one letter.". Benjamin Dodd examined, by Mr. Waltman.— Witness remembered having written something for Mary Gunner on the'tith of July. Mary Gunner examined.—She remembered that paper, which she afterwaida`copied t it was the copy 'of that writing which .she sent in answer to the first letter. Mr: Dodd indited it for hci, and she copied it and sent it by the 1. post. Mr. Giyro rose again.- , -. 4 ‘ My Lord, in examin ing the Indictmept, I perceive an error which mate rially affects the cases The lettet says—• IS you hirq a set of men to watchyOur house dirsii‘tl• but it is sec out in every rinse of the counts, • dy Now a I Submit to your Lordship that this varsaneeip and Iri an the Cain of Rex %o. Bear, referred to in Hart's rase, East 978, w!lich was tried at the Worcester Lent Assizes in 1776. The Court agreed, that where an - instrument is net out jaw,: tenorent,' the tenour must be in the indictment according to mein. strument. In this case the indictment prefesset to state the tenour, but uses the words ' by nights,' in stead of the exact words • by night,' which comes di rectly within the case that I have cited." Mr. WILLIM4I3.—•.' My Lord, I submit, than bY '.l( , , , hts' and by night' is the same word. It does' not al.er the sense ;, and your Lordship knows that where the omission or addition of a letter does not alter the tense of the word, the variance is not mate' ial.. This was expressly held by Lord Mansfield. Hart's case, which my Learned Friend has cited, was an indict men,t for forging a bill of eschange. The bill pro duced in evidence corresponded with that set forth in the indictment, except that it was written g value re eeiv'd," instead of ' value received." The prisoner was convicted', but jeidgment was respited upon the question, whether this literal variance were material, the words sounding the same ?,and on the 7th of Jane, 1776, all the Judges (DI Prey, C.,J. and Willes, J. absent) were of opinion that the variance was not material, as it did not change *the word ; and by Gould, J. it the word had been written reesiv l ,l or re med. the e in the one it:stance, and the i in the other, must have been necessarily understood." 'Mr. GlFPaiev. My Lord, I still submit that the variance in this case is fatal. It is ancthcf word, and I.rely oa the case of Rex v. Dear. There is alsO another case, the Queen v. Drake (Salk. 6SI) which proceeded upon its being a different word, nor for not and Powys, J. says, in the report of the same case, in Halt, Rep 350, that he did not mark this to be' so small a, variance of a letter as it it happened in fake :felling or abbreviation:, which possibly might not' hurt. Here the instrument is laid in the indictment according to the tenour, and the very words laid,and not the stsbstance and effect of them must be proved." Mr. Justice HOLROVD, after having looked into the several cases, delivered leis opinion as follows:—" It seems to me, that the words by night, and by n g brs, are two distinct words. The sense maybe the same, though certainly it is not common parlance; but the law ties me up by the word tenor, to have the exact words. I ant nut inclined to go beyond whit has heen•determined, but it does not appear to me that those cases have been overruled." The Learned Judge then told the Jury, that an objection had been taken to the indictment in point of law; and though there was no alteration in the sense of the words, yet, as they had undertaken to set out the tenour of the let ter, the objection was fatal. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner is the wife 'cf a surgeon. and att. thorebs of several literary works : instead of being placed at the bar in the usual way, she sat on a chair, attended by several friends, and her face was' con cealed by a thick veil : she is between thirty and forty years of age. STAFFORD ASSIZES, AUGUST S. • The most remarkable criminal trial a' these Assizes was that of William Bedssn, for maliciously stabbing Thnnnts Robrnham, in a fit of jealousy.--Thomas Robotham deposed that he is a sawyer, employed at the Marquis of Stafford's. The prisoner. is. a shoe. maker, and resided 'at Trentham ; vritness was a lodger at his house. On the 28th of June. hit, the witness went home' soon after tea at night; prisoner was in bed, or at least he was up stairs; his wife was below, standing neat the dresser,, with a ballad in her hand, which he took from her, and began to sing. Pri soner came down stairs violently, and said to his wile "D—n you tor a whore," or to that effect, and eithei knocked a candle out of bar hand, or eke she took it 'out of the house —could not tell which—prisoner ran to the witness*, who was then sitting on his stool, ard gave him two blows in theaide r -witness did not know at the time that he- was stabbed. Prisoner . was going to strike him a third time. but .wiupess prevented him, saying he, would scorn.to strike him . in his own house; but " i 1 he came .again he must be like." Prisoner then went out. Witness then put on his handkerchief . and hat, thinking to go away, as such usage would net do !" While standing at the door, he first discovered that he had been stabbed, by feeling the warm blood. trickling down his side. At this time he saw prisoner coming towards the•house agaia, and said, 44 Bedson, you've stabb'd me." Prisoner went into the house without ,speaking, and fastened the door—Witness called to bun you've stabb'd me, and I doubt you've killed me." Prisoner said, he hoped he had. Cross-examined by Mr. TAUNTON.—He did not come into the house with prisoner's wile. It was five or ten minutes after he went into the house before prisoner came down—during that time witness had been singing. While be was singing, prisoner's wife said to him, Thomas, do you think every man has got, the sweet little girl of 'his heart r' (Those or similar words were in the ballad.) Witness said he thought nee. Prisoner might have heard the song, and those observations. Prisoner's Wife said ‘, Hush I I think I bear my little Betty." Witness told her he did not hear any thing of the kind. Prisoner's attack upon him was all in a moment—did not know what he was going to do-..he came down in a rage—did not know whether he was jealous. When he went home, he did not know whether prisoner was at home or not. • Mr. Chadwick, surgeon, of Lane-End, was called to the prosecutor after lie had been wounded, • and fOund him in bed at Penson's, a public-house, at Hem Heath. Witness described the wounds, one cC which we; a very dangerous one. At first prisoner told him be could not tell with what instrument he , had inflicted the wounds, but subsequently he went up stairs, andbrought criwn a knife, with which he said he bad inflicted the wounds—the knife was a little bleody-b-there was no blood on the prisoner. Wm. Penton proved that he apprehended the pri soner; and on a question from the Judge, he deposed that priioner said he bed done it by a sudden impulse on hearing the singing. and prosecutor saying to his wife,'". It you are willing, I am." The prisoner being called upon for his defence, said, “ Please you, my Lord, I was in bed. I heard him ask my wife whether she was willing or not? After wards I heard a disturbance, and Itobotharn would iorce her to it.. I directly came down stairs, and be seized me by the collar of the shirt, and said gg Thomas I won't strike thee in thy own house—come out, knii 7 -- : . . .
