L4ll , INTALLIGANCE. SERJEANTS' INN, CHANCERY-LANE, NOV. 30. BEFORE THE TWELVE JUDGES. THE KING v. Butoom—The deter,dant being convided of concealing certain effeds under a CAT million of bankruptcy, to the value of tot. and tome doubts having occurred to the Judges concerning the law of his cafe, it came on to be argued this day. Mr. Hoarroarr, for the prifoner, Rated the follow ing objeaions to the convidinn Firlt, That in the indiament it was Rated that a commillion of bankrupt was awarded and iffued un der the Great Seal of Great aitain, whereas fince the Aft of Union between Great Britain and Ireland, the true title of the Great Seal is that of the Great Seal of the United Kingdoms, and it ought to have been fo defcribed. For which purpofe he cited the Ad of Union itfelf, wherein the King is anthorifed to order, either a new foal, or to permit the ancient Great Seal of Ireland Rill to be ufed, as the Great Seal there ; and he contended that by this admillion, with yelped to Ireland alone, it was clear that no fuch triage could be admitted here, or at lean that the Seal (horrid be differently entitled. Secondly, That the indiament Rated, that where as a commiffion ;trued, and the comniafioners, before the day laid in the indidment, to wit, on &c. at &c. met, and the laid James Bullock was then and there, upon due proof on oath, before them duly declared a bankrupt. On the contrary, he laid that the oath taken before the Commiffioners, in proof of the ad of bankruptcy, was that of a man who was a credi tor at the very time, and therefore incapable of giv ing evidence; although at the trial the fame man was produced, and being paid his debt, was a good winters. idly, The commiffion was bad, becaure it iffoed upon a petitioning creditor's debt, which arofe quent to a prior ad of bankruptcy, and that ad of bankruptcy was probed at the trial, and it was alf© proved that the docket was &tick upon it, which took the cafe out of Sir Samuel Romilly'slate Ratute againit feting afide commiffion upon fuch ads of bankruptcy committed previonfly. 4thly, The commillion Well was only upon a tre ble fixpenny, i. e. an eighteen penny Ramp; whereas it ought to have been a gs. Ramp. He thawed that in place of this is. 6d. Ramp there wqsufed formerly a three-penny Ramp, under an ad of King William 111. which required fuch a Ramp upon all original writs, mandates, or precepts, and othewprocefs, with the feat of any of the Courts at Weitturnfter or etre where, holding pleas to the amount of 40$. He Mewed that this defcription was ufed in Ratutes which impofed the is. 6d. Ramp, and is now ufed in the 44th George II!. c. 98, which imports upon all like writs or mandates a Clamp of gs. Mr.Gua may anfwered thefe objedions very (portly. As to the firtl, he endeavoured to thew that the Union with Ireland bore no analogy tar that with Scotland, although it had been mentioned by Mr. Holroyd in fupport of his argument, and that not only was the Great Seal of Great Britain defcribed as fuch in Cenral Ads of Parliament fabfequent to the Union, but alfo in all commillians to hold a Court of Admiralty, it is fo defcribed. adly, He relied upon feveral recent cafes at ]s ir Prism, to thew that a prior ad of bankruptcy, not followed up by a commitfion, does not defeat a tills- Sequent commiffion. 3dly, He contended that although the warners before the Commiffioners was incompetent, yet it is every day's practice to receive other evidence in proof of the at of bankruptcy on trials at law. 4thly, He (aid that the Ad of the 44th Geo. 111. c. 98, repeals all former Stamp Ads, and the words " mandate, &c. foaled with the feat of a C curt at Weßminfler," do not apply to a Comnailion under the Great Seal. Mr. HOLIWYD fnortly replied. The Judges deferred giving their opinion till a fu ture day, and it will probably be announced to the Pri(oner during the Serf - ions, at the Old Bailey. DECEMEEP. I.—THE KING O. GILSON. Mr. KNAPP addreffed the judges, who met at the above Hall for the purpofe of hearing arguments on this cafe, which was refetved by Mr. Jullice Heath. The prifoner had been convicted of the clime of feting fire to his houfe in Bofwell Court, Carey. greet, with intent to defraud the London Infurance Company. The fads of the cafe were Shortly thefe: The ()droner had caufed the goods in his houfe in Wood-greet, Cheapfide, to be infured, and having removed from thence to a houfe in Bofweil Court, he caufed the policy of infurance to be applied to the fame property which waaremoved thither, and an indorfement was made upon the policy by which it was continued from the 16th of December, tBos, to the 16th of December, 1806 ; and further conti nued from the 24th of June, 1806, to the 24 , h of June, 1807. The prifoner was tried and convicted of the offence of wilfully felting fire to his houfe, with intent to defraud the London Infurance Com pany—a capital offence. The objedions to which conviction were two : Firft, that the indorfement up on this policy of infurance being the engagement of a corporate body, and figned only by two of the Di rectors, was invalid, for that a corporate body could not bind itfelf by any inftrnrnent, except that which was under their common foal. Secondly (and that was the moll important point), that this indorfement was void for want of a Ramp. This point he argued at confiderable length. One cafe he referred to was that which was decided by Mr. Baron Parrot, at Hereford, and Rated in Mr. juttice Buller's Nift Prius, page 269, where a leak had been held to be bad for want of a Ramp, although meant to carry into effect a parol agreement, He quoted alfo the cafe of Whowell v Dirddale, in Mr. Peake's Nifi Prins, in which Lord Kenyon had held, that a paper offered in evidence, and which was required to be stamped, could not be received in evidence in a Court of Juitice for ary purpefi whatever, and doubted whe ther the cafe of the King v. Hawkfwood, by which a contrary &Chine was held, was found law. MT. Ihßice Lawasacs.—" But after that, my Lord Ken)nn agreed to the cafe of the King v. Hawktwood, and was of opinion that the man was properly coos if!ed." Mr. KNAPP Paid, he was aware that there were cafes by which the Court bad held, that the perfon eilarged with a crienelhall not be permitted to avail luinft4f of his own wrong when tried for that ctithe, any more than in a civil alie), and that where he was indifted for 6.rging a bill of exchange Or a pro. I miffory note, he fhoold not avail himfelf of the cir. cumdance that fuch inftrument was not properly ttampt ; hut then he contended, that all thefe cafes were confined entirely to forgery only. He main tained, that if the prif o ner had fued upon this in dorfement on the oolicy of infurance, to recover the lots he had fuftain . ed, he could not have fucceeded in his action ; and if the inftrument could not be made valid in a civil action, fo that a man filing under it to recover his property would not be fecurcd, it lhould not be enforced against his life. Mr. Pouts Y, on behalf t f the profecution, obferv ed, that although the policy, in refpeet of the transfer of the property to Clement's Lane, might be im ,perfeet, (till it had been moil fasisfaCtorily proved upon the trial, that the prifoner was fatisfied with it, as good and binding. There was no doubt that, if a policy of infurance was not cloathed with the legal (tamp, that it was ufelefs and good for nothing, as to all purpofes of recovering money upon it from the Company ; but here the cafe was materially dif ferent ; here there was a fraud attempted to be perpetrated, and in fuch a cafe, the law interpofed for the ends of juftice, and declared that fuch an inftru ment fllould be ufed againtt the party accofed of the fraud. The perfon accufed of courfe loft his fecu rity and his debt, and it could never be imagined, that in a cafe, fuch as this, where a fraud was molt evidently proved to have been not only contemplated, but actually attempted ; there could be any redrefs, where conviction had followed, as in the prefent in- fiance: In fupport of this argument, he cited a trial of a perfon, named Regulus, at the Old Bailey, in 1796, before Mr. Baron Thompfon. The prifoner was indifted for uttering a forged note ef hand, and it was fluted in the defence, that the note was not (tamped. It was alfo argued that Regulus could not be convieted of the crime, as the note was intrinfi rally worth nothing, being mere wafte paper. The matter was referred to the Judges, and Mr. Juflice Grote reported their decifion, (Wing, that there was no doubt of the prifoner's guilt, as it had been proved on the trial that he had uttered the note, knowing well that it was a bad one. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to contend, that a policy of infurance, like a bill of exchange,. was liable to for gery in the fame way, as the damp formed no part of the inftrument, (tamps being impoled by the Le. giflature for the purpote of railing a revenue for the State. Upon thefe and other grounds, he therefore fubmitted that the finding of Guilty by the Jury wa, good, and that their Lordlliips ong,ht to futtain it. Mr. Jultice CHANIZKE alked how the indiasnent was worded ? Mr. Jul U ce Li BLANC raid, it was for fitting fire to the honk with intrnt to dcfraud the Infuranre company. Mr. KNAPP replied, and depended chiefly nu the general words of the Ad of Parliament of the 37 Geo. 3, which lays, "'That any intlrument requiring a (lamp, ihail nut be available for ary purple what ever, in any Court of Law or Equity," without fuch (lamp ; and there was no qualifying claute whatever in, the A dt. Here auditors were commanded to withdraw, and nothing furthtt was heard upon the lubjed. The decif►nn of the Judges on the above cafes was not given yetterday. The remains of the late Earl GREY were conveyed, on Thurfday, from Fallowden Houfe, Northumber land, for interment at Howick, where they were de patted in the family vault. The , funeral was attended by the prefent Earl and Conniels, Mr. and Lady ELIZABETH IVHITBREAD, the Hon. and Rev. Mr. GREY, and the Honourable Commitlioner Gam It has been faid of the late Earl GREY, that he was the only furviving officer who aught with General Woxas at Q2ebec. This flatement is erroneous.— Enfign CHARLES BURNETT, of A.berdeenfbire, then in the Frazer Highlanders, w;u in the battle in which Wocrs fell, and is Hill alive in that place, upon the half pay of that corps. At the very advanced age of nearly ninety years, he remains without any other provifion than the miferable pittance above mention ed, which has been his role fupport fince the peace of 5763. Amidft the general profufion and waile of public treafure, it is hard that a gallant veteran, whole early life was devoted to his country's fervice, fhonld in extreme old age remain in• indigence, with scarce wherewithal to fupport life. Amortsta ARMED FOOTPACI..-Cfl Saturday fe'n night, about fix o'clock in the evening,as Mr. Nafit and Mr. Rice, blth of Chicheiler, were returning from Petersfield to that city, they were flopped near a place called Crow's Hole, by a footpad, armed with a gun, who jumped firdder.ly from a hedge by the road fide, and demanded, with terrible threats, their money. Mr. Rice, who had a very confiderable fum in his pocket, clapped. fpurs to his boric, and efcaped without being robbed ; but Mr. Nails, who was not fo fortunately mounted, furrendered to the robber his watch, a fcw !billings in filver, and tome halfpence; . and on Tuefday evening a Gentleman, named Brent, was robbed between Emfworth and Havant, by a fellow armed with a gun, of his watch and Crane filver.
