LAW lATELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 14. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that reports had ruc hed him that some lists of Commissioners of Bank tapts were closed for four months together, and em- P. • h c ally declared , that this must no t h t . He parti cularly aelverted to one instance, in which the list had bc.en closed from the 13tli of June cill November.— This, he again repeated, must not be; and if any of the Gentlemen present were Commissioners, he de sired they would take notice of his determination, He would give orders to hi.. Secretary to make inqui ries from time to time into this subject, and report to t he Great Seal. His Lordship also adverted to ano ther improper practice, viz. that of creditors signing the ;inthorny to the Commissioners to allow the cern ficive before the final examination ; and intimated his i nten i;on to require that the dates of the signatures should be distinctly certified. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 13. STILI:NO, BART. V VAUC4I.\N, v. urscrcztl.. These wereactions upon policies of insurance of prize goods, taken at Buenos Ayres, • , n board the Narcissa, under the convoy of Rear Admiral Murray. The ship sprung a leak, and has never since 1807 been heard o r ; the Rear Admiral attending as a stlitness, and pr oving that he did not think it proper to wait to re cover even the provisions that were on board the ship question, much more the goods.—Verdict for the plaintiff. PARKER T. EAST :NDIA COMPANY. This was an action brought for the recovery of a su m of money for rice, which in the scarcity of 1800, the C. nipany had imported ; but it appearing that the plait-ad was not within this contract, and had re ceived A very large portion of his demand, he was Nonsuited. BRANDALL 17. YERBURY. This was an action for the payment of upwards of ; 2,0061. fur Spanish wool, which the defendant had, during the late higi• price of tlr.‘t article, contracted to purchase of the plaintiff. It appeared that the defendant had treated the wool as his own, in offering it for sale to a third per son, had kept it more than a fortnight, and had sa tisfied himself of its answering the sample. The defenc , , was, that it did not correspond with the sample ; but it appeared that since the defendant had purchased, the market for wool was very slack, and much reduced.' The Plaiat;ff called several Blackwell hall factors, who saw the wool, and thought it a good execution cf the order, by the sample; and the defendant called kveral clothiers and wool-staplers, who thought the wool worth less than the defendant had contracted to give cur it by three shillings a pound.—Verdict for the plaintiff. JVLY 14. 11111 ZING O. POLLICAN & REYLOCK, HARDY, .AND WATSON. The indictment against these defendants set forth, that they had been guilty- of a conspiracy to receive and take the sum of 20001. as a consideration for an a ppointment as a Coast Waiter at the Custom-house, to be procured through the interest done of the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury. The ArrolucewhOirinstac stated, that stlfr. Hest, in consequence of an advertisement in the Morning Post, on the 9th of last January, wrote to Pollmann and Keylock's office, in• Crown-court, Threadneedle street, from whom he received an answer; requesting him to call on them ; the answer was signed by Key. lock ; and the advertisement intimated thlt they had a civil appointment of permanency to dispose of for 160'.4. the salat y of which would be 4001. per annum. On calling at the office, in Crown-court, he found the place for 16(X)1. disposed of, but another was offered for 20001. which was a CoastVaiter's place, in the Custom-house, at the salary of 2301. and perquisites, making 4001. a-year. Finding how this was to be done, he went and gave inforniat;on at the Treasury, 7,3 a person high in ()Ince, oaring to render any as siAtance in his power to bring thorn to justice. By this person he was desired to examine, and investigate, they meant to procure such a favour ; and a per boil of the name of Harvey, was to go with him, pro vided with the sum required. The Attorney-Gene ral then entered at great length into the whole tran saction, as afterwards stated by the witaeses, Hest and Harvey. Mr. Le Brunn Hest, being cross-examined by Mr. CARROW, proved, that in consequence of an adver tis:ment in the Morning Post, on the 9th of January last, he wrote to Messrs. Pollmann and Keylock, and on the 12th received an answer, setting forth the terms of the appointment, &c. This letter was written by Keylock, he had no. doubt, as he saw them both write afterwards. On the 13th, witness went to Crown -court, where he saw Pollmann and Keylock, and a lad, sitting at one of the desks. The place had the appearance of an office of considerable busi aess. He introduced himself as the person who had written them a letter respecting a civil appointment, and they acknowledged having written the answer. Theyihen told him that they could procure him a Coast Waiter's place for :'.OOOl. that the salary was 2501. a-year, and perquisites to make it 4001., and that it was well known to be a fair thing. He asked who was to vacate the place ? they' could-mitten ; by •mhose hate= it eras to be procured ? .Pollmann he !itated, but at length he said,—".through that of a lady." He then asked 'how the ;wimp was to be lodged ? Keylock produced a paper as the form of their banker's note. Here a copy of the paper was prpduced,and proved ' by the witness—it run thus : We promise to pay. Messrs. Pellmann and Key lack, the sum of , deposited in our hands, by , fur . whenever .that event shall take place." Witness said, he only. saw it across the table, and .it was signed Sykes, Snaith, and Co. He requested a copy,which Mr. Keylock gave in blanks,,as already aliewn. Witness then aikeS if the transaction cons seal l Keylock replied, " Certgin4y,. if you are ready -Kith the money ;" and to anotherquestion, Keylock _replied, they had innumerable applications. He asked if they would insure to him the refusal of the situa :ion ? " Yes, if you will lodge a small sum." He accordingly, at their request, lodged 101. which was to be forfeited if he did not pay the whole 20001. in days. On the 14th J teuary witness returned with sae copy of a receipt, and he and Pollmann went tQ :sv;ce3, Saaith, an 4 Co.'s, uo see if they would sign such a one. They there saw Mr. "%rem, Who, upon being sheave the receipt, read it deliberately, and said they could not sign, as they did not like their names to appear on a receipt which seemed on the face of it to be illegal. He (Me. Watson) proposed a short receipt, and that witness should give him a letter of instrec- 1 tions how to act with the money. He then brought a short receipt from the outer shop, which he (Wat son) filled up, part being printed, and on the back he wrote the form of the letter of instructions. The letter of instructions was blank for the appointment, and then ran—" if that event shall take place in two months, we promise to pay, &c." This copy witness took away. About five o'clock in the evening of the same day, witness called again with Mr. Har vey, at Mr. Watson's banking house, where they found Pollmann in waiting for them, according to appointment, in order that the witness might either pay the money on those terms, or give an answer.— Mr. Harvey was here introduced as the particular friend of the witness. He then produced a receipt and letter of instructions, which being first shewn to Pollmann and then to Watson, they both said it was right. This receipt, &c. was copied from Watson's, and proved by the witness in Court. The money was then "paid, and the witness and Harvey came away. He was led to expect the situation immedi ately. Some days after witness received a letter Irom Pollmann, and having gone in - consequence, with Harvey, Pollmann appointed to go to the Lidy in the evening, whose influence was to procure the ap pointment. Witness wished Harvey might also go ; this was at first objected to ; but Pollmann at last consented. In the evening the defendant Pollmann called on the witness and Harvey, at the Cannon Coffee-house, and they all proceeded to Crown.street, Westminster. Pollmann there introduced them to a house where they found two Ladies, Mrs.. Hardy and Mrs. Berry, and a Gentleman whom they scarce saw, for he retired the instant they entered the room. Poilmann said to Mrs. Hardy, this is the Gentleman (meaning witness) who is to buy the situation. She replied, she was glad to see him ; that she had writ ten to the Gentleman who could procure it, and had recommended witness very strongly. While this was passing, Mrs. Berry said to Pollmann — " I sold the Paymastership for 1000 guineas." To which he re plied," and I sold the Patent Searchers, for 30001. ; that was a stfaie, but I got through it." When Harvey and witness came away, Polimann accom panied them, and during the walk, said, " in fact it is a Lord of the Treasury, one very near the Duke of Portland, throsigh whom this place is to be got ; the Duke of Portland makes the oath for these parties, and he khows it is broken every day ; his Grace gets from 20 to 30,0001. a-year by selling such places."— On the 19th he received another letter from Poll mann, on which witness went down, on the 20th, and was told he had been sent for to receive some instruc tions, which Pullmann could not find at first, but said, wituess should have the appointment immediately ; and that the Lady (Mrs. Hardy) had said he would have two months examination to pass, but that he might get over, for two or three weeks, by giving a few dinners. Witness farther said, that Mr. Harvey was present at all the interviews he had with the par ties after the first ; that he always pressed the fulfils ment of their promise, which was sometimes excused on account of the Enquiry then commenced in the House of Commons, which would create some delay, but he should still have the place. One day he ob served Pollmann looking over his book for copies of letters ; witness said to him, " your names have been mentioned in the House of Commons, and Mr. Wardle said he saw you." Pollmann replied, he never saw Mr. Wardle to his knowledge ; but in con sequence .of their n ones having been so mentioned, he was looking over his letters to destroy them. He saw Mrs. Hardy once in Crown-court, when she got an affidavit of the witness's which she said was necessary, and that she would go and give it to the Gensleman immediately, who was to procure the situation. She also esces.d the delay. Cross-examined by the COMMON SI,:RJEANT. Witness said, Pollinann did not seem to wish for se crecy in tl.e business ; but told hint - at one time he might go to the Custom-house and inquire. Denied he ever had said " Oh ! get me the place, and never mind the oath." Pollmann said, he was an Hano verian. Witness was about five or six years ago, a Barrister at Law, and had practised for about six years; WAS apprentice to a Mr.Willet ; had no connection with a Sheria's.calicer, named Cawdie. When about 17 or 18, used to discount notes with money given him by his trieads, but never after he was of age. After he was a Barrister, he had writs issued against him, which made him abscond till he was outlawed. He never hinted to the defendants that it was an illegal transaction. Being questioned' by Lord ELLENDOIIOUGII, witness said, he did this with a view to the detection of tile defendants, when he found it illegzp, but had he found it legal he would have purchased the place. Mr. Harvey corroborated the statement of last wit ness as far as he himself was present ; and added, that once Pollmann said, Hest must take a little bit of a temporary oath. At Mrs. Hardy's he ( Pollmann) said to Hest " I have taken 40 oaths in a day ; you can vary easily take this oath, as you do not purchase the place, but our interest ;" and on another occasion, " you can swear easily, as you know you do not pur chase the place yourseif, bat your friend." He said he (witness) had the £1990, which he was provided with to pay the bankers, and it had been repaid, as well as the £lO paid by Hest. Another reason for delay, besides the enquiry pending at that time in the House of Commons, was assigned by Pollmann, which WAS a death in the family of the Gentleman, by that witness understeod the Lord of the Treasury. Mr. Caowcu and Mr. Gas taus Stated the nature of the office, which was an.ollice of trust in the Custums, to receive and weigh and register all goods carried coastwise. Mr. ESPIT7ASSL, for the th•feudant POIIMaUII, was about to contend that the offence, as charged, was not an offence against law. Lord ELlANNogoucu reminded him that this was an objection to he trade in Court, ant not at the trial. The Learned Counsel then said he. should reserve his observa tions. The COMMON SCIULANT made some severe observations upon Mr. Hest, as a barrister, for ensuing at all in such a transac tion, and said, that it it was true, he, as a lawyer, supposed he was engaged hi a legal transaction, his client (lie)lech), ulna was a poor deluded man, wai much more likely to be deceived.
