Mit FAUNTLEROY. In the STAR of yesterday, we gave an outline of the arg aments, at the Old Bailey, in arrest of judgment, in the case of Mr: Fauntleroy ; and, in a part of .our impression, we gave the result of the application. We now give a more detailed account of the proceedings. When Baron GAttnow had taken his seat on the Both, and the prisoner llad been placed at the bar, Mr. ALLEY rose to Odds ess the Court ; he said he did not think it was necessary to have the record read. His Lordship was, doubtless, aware that the conviction of thepisoner had taken plice,.not generally, but on the counts of the indictment, charging him with having uttered a forged power of attorney for the sale of Stock, knowing it to be forged at the time of uttering it. Had the conviction taken place on the indictment generally, I.hich wo:ild have declared the prisoner to have been vilty of forging the instrument, he would not have had to trouble his Lordship on the present occasion. There was an express Act of Parliament which made the forg ing o f a power of attorney a capital offence. Up to the reign of Geo.ll. it was not made a capital offence to utter a forged deed. By the BthGeo.l. it was a capital offence to lyrge a bond or security for money, &c. but the penalty did not extend to the act of uttering such an instrument. It was therefore dear, that under the Act of the Bth of Geo. I. judgment of death could not be pronounced on a conviction for uttering the instrument knowing it to befogged. By a subsequent Act, the 4th of George H. it was made (cap. 7.) a capital offence to forge certain instruments therein enumerated, but of which a power of attorney was not one. That Act extended only to individual cases, but it was subsequently enacted that it should extend to offences committed against corpo rations. It was his object to contend, that under nei ther of the two statues which he had just mentioned was it a capital offence to forge a power of attorney ; for, otherwise, those whose duty it was to frame the laws of the country must, at a subsequent period, hayr been guilty of great oversight, to say the least of it, when they specially enacted that it was a capital of fence to forge such an instrument. Had the offence been capital under the two statutes to which I.e had referred, why should the Legislature have felt it neces sary to pass an Act declaring expressly that the forging powers of attorney was a capital offence P By the 57th of George II!. it was made a capital offence to forge a letter of attorney to obtain a sea man's wages, or to utter such a forged instrument know ing it .to be counterfeit. That Act shewed that it was not in the contemplation of the Legislature, that to forge a power of attorney was a capital offence under the two statutes beforementioned ; for, if so, what was the use of the fresh enactment ? The words employed in the Act of George H. were 1, bills, bonds, notes, deeds, &c."—the words " power of attorney" did not occur in it. He believed, also, that the Act upon which the Three per Cent Consols were raised was passed sub sequently to the Act of George 11. If that were so, it was impossible that the Legislature could have intended by that Act to have afforded protection to a species of property which did not exist. The instruments which the Legislature had in contemplation when it enacted the statute of George 11. were those which per se were valu able and convertible into cash. That wax not the case with a power of attorney. A power of attorney was not valuable in itself, but acquired a value-only in reference to something else. A bond was a deed oT intrinsic value, letause it was a security fol. money ; but a letter of attorney was not a security for money. If the power of attorney was comprehended under the worst "deed" in the statute of George 11. the subsequent statutes which were passed to declare the forging-of a power of attorney a capital offence, were, to say the least, unnecessary. His Lordship. knew, from the ex perience which he had acquired in conducting the pro secutions of the Bank, that that body sometimes prose cuted parties for personating, sometimes for forging dividend warrants, sometimes for other things; but he did not recollect a case in that Court, and there was not one to be found in the books, to justify such a pro secution as the present. When he said that there had never been a case similar to the present, he might per haps except one on which a question arose, but not like that now at issue, whicHswas decided some time ago, and had been reported by Mr. Bingham. Mr. BRODRICK, in support of his Learned Friend's argument, found it necessary to refer to the indictment against the prisoner, which, it would be recollected, centained 11 counts. Mr. Baron G ARROW—It was only on the second count that the prisoner was convicted. Mr. BRODRICK begged his Lordship's pardon. It was not specifically on the second count.—(The Learned Gentleman here recapitulated the various counts.) — The verdict of the Jury was not that the prisoner was guilty of forging a certain deed. • Mr. Baron GARROW.—The verdict must be taken in popular language for this—" We have no evidence be fore us on which to convict the prisoner on any other. count than the second, and therefore we acquit him of the rest and find him guilty of uttering." Mr. BRODRICK had no objection to take the fact to be as his Lordship stated it. The object of the present motion was, not that there should be no judgment, but that there should not be judgment of death. The second and third counts of the indictment called the instrument " a deed." Those counts, therefore, must be taken to rest upon the 2d Geo. 11. cap. 25, which enacts, that " if any person shall falsely make, forge, or counterfeit, or cause or procure to be falsely made, forged, or counterfeited, or willingly act or assist in the false making, forging, or counterfeiting any deed, &c." or shall utter any such deed, he shall be deemed guilty of felony. That was the effect of the act of the 2d Geo. 11. the 31st Geo.- 11. cap. 22. sec. 78, merely ex tended the enactments of the former Act to the cases of corporations. Mr. Baron GAnnoW.--That took place in Harring ton's case. Mr. BRODRICK.—His Lordship was right. The ques tion then was, whether . the power of attorney, wind' uns called a deed in the indictment, was a deed within the meaning of the Act of Geo. 11. He thought he would be able to prove to demonstration that the Le gistature had not so considered it. The first statute to v:hich his Learned Friend had directed the attention of the Court was the Bth of Geo. I. which was the first of a series of statutes designed for the protection of the stock of public companies. That statute, however, confined the capital punishment to the forging of a power of attorney, and not to the uttering of one know leg it to be forged. That statute, therefore, was clearly hot within the range of the present indict ment. Besides, that statute applied to Stock vested at the time it pasted, and not to Stock subsequently created. statute of the 2.1 George 11. WAS that upon which tat: itAil4tiliela was framed. His argument, then,-Wa' that it was necessary fo come to one of tuna infeiences— either that the Legislature, in the statutes which it had passed subsequently to The 2d -of George IL had employed unnecessary words, or that, in Parliamebtary interpretation, a power of attorney was not included under the word " deed" in the 2d of George 11. "If the Bank could have prosecuted under the Act%f the 2d George 11. it was quite useless to use the words power of attorney in the 31st of George 11. Either it was ne cessary to suppose that the Legislature had committed an act of supererogation, or to come to a more rational conclusion, that . Parliament did not consider that a warrant of attorney was comprehended under the word " deed," in the 2.1 George H. There might, he ad mitted, have been a conviction under the 37th of George 111. cap. 122, which enacted, " That if any person should forge or counterfeit the names of any persons as witnesses to a power of attorney for the transfer of Bank stock, he should be liable to transportation for seven years." Mr. Baron Gaartow.—Not under the present indict ment, which thatged the forging of the writing of the principal. Mr. BRODRICIC.--It was given in evidence that the names of the witnesses were forged. Mr. Baron Gartao*.--But with what view was that done? It was given in evidence that the names of the witnesses were forged in order to assist the proof with respect to the forgery of the writing of the principal. Suppose that Miss Young had by some arts been pre vailed upon to put her genuine signature to the instru ment, but that the names of Messrs. Watson and Tyson, the witnesses, had been proved to be forged, could the prisoner have been convicted .upon the present indict ment? Certainly not. It would then have been necessary to frame an indictment on the Statute to which the Learned Counsel had alluded, and on conviction, the prisoner would have been liable to transportation. Mr. BRODRICK said he would not trouble his Lord ship with any further observations on that point. The 57th of George IIL cap. 127, sec. 4, to which his Learned Brother had reterred, alluded to the forging and uttering, amongst other things, of powers of attor ney for obtaining seamen's wages. Why did the Le gidature make use of the words " power of attorney ?" They were evidently unnecessary, if a power of attorney was included by the word " deed" in the 2d George 11. He again reverted to the proposition with which he had set out—namely, that it was either necessary to suppose that the Legislature had unnecessatily made use of the words, or that it did not contemplate that the 2d Geo. 11. comprehended powers of attorney, but only instru ments which might be immediately converted into money. A power of attorney might, to be sure, be. considered a deed, inasmuch as it was signed and sealed: but it was per se of no value whatever. It was a mere authority to another person to act. He felt that he had nothing further to offer to his Lordship's attention. He trusted that he had made his argument understood, and left it to his Lordship's consideration. Mr. C. PHILLIPS followed on the same side, and pur sued the same line of argument which had been marked out by the Counsel who had preceded. In order to prove that the instruments to which the 2d George 11. applied, were only instruments immediately convertible into money, the Learned Gentleman stated that the, statute, after reciting the word " deed," ended by say. ing, " or other securities for money." • Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUIT rose to reply at a quarter to three o'clock. It was his duty to address his Lordship with a few observations, and he apprehended they need be few. So long as he had had the honour of being' Counsel for the Bank, he had never heard arguments' of this description advanced. The Learned Serjeant then adverted to the case of the late Mr. Waite, inthat case it was not deemed necessary to have any &tont as to where the forgery took place. In that case there was an argument on the case as to the putting away, and the result of the deliberation which took place was, that it did not matter whether the forgery took place at Bristol or in London, and the consequence was, that that ,Gentleman underwent the execution of the law. I Mr. Baron GA RROW said he well recollected the ar ' guments, which were ably urged on both sides, in the Exchequer Chamber, relative to that important case. Mr.Serjeant BOSANHUET proceeded—There was an extraordinary feeling in the argument, for it would ap , pear that a power of attorney must be made a deed. In the case of the " King v.Waite," this was ably argued by Mr. Campbell, that it should be a power of attorney by deed : in the case of seamen's wages, the power should be under the denomination and hand and seal of a deed ; but in this case, will my Learned Friends say for one moment, that in the 57th of the late King a power of attorney was not to be protected? Who can doubt but it intended to protect all deeds of covenant and settlement, as well as securities for money ? The Learned Counsel then said, the Act re cites " any deed, will, or testament, or security for money," &c. and then comes down to a promissory note. it was true that the term was associated with those in struments, and no doubt intended to be included in the application of the terms therein expressed. In the Act of Geo. 11. there was no provision made for the uttering of such deeds as this, but ;twos provided for by the Act of the 45th of Geo. 111. when the punishment of forgery was made more effectual. Shortly after that Act passed, a person was tried for uttering a bill of exchange, and he suggested to hts Learned Friend who defended the prisoner, to try the effect of the 2d of Ged. 11. but the objection was over-ruled. Mr. LAW followed on the same "side, and endeavoured, at some length, to support the arguments of his learned tinder. He concluded by observing, that if the statute , of the 2d of Geo.ll. did not apply to the present case, be knew of no other that did. ' Mr. ALLEY shortly replied to the observations of the Counsel for the prosecution, and expressed his convic tion that the observation with which his Learned Friend (Mr. Law) had concluded would have no weight with his Lordship. the Court would be bound by the law of the case, without regard to the manner in which its decision might affect the prisoner. Mr. Baron GARROW then proceeded to deliver his decision. The awful period had arrived when, accord ing to the forms of the law, that unhappy person at the bar was called upon to declare whether he had anything to say why the Court should not pass judgment on him to die. He regretted that the interval occupied in the present proceedings (not improperly, for it was the duty of the prisoner's legal advisers to catch at everything which might afford a chance of averting , his sentence) should interrupt the course of thought which he hoped and believed the prisoner, since his trial, had indulged in. It was a great consolation to him, in determiuing the present question, to know that the prisoner's fate did not depend on his very fallible judgment, but that down to the very moment for sealing the warrant for car • Tying the, sentence into elocution, if any doubts should. arise iA the Minds of the law:officers of the CrlissSr, they. would be submitted to the united wisdom of all the Judges of the country: He was at present only called nr,on to.de liver his opinion. with respect td the objection which had been raked, and he was bound tasay that he entertained no doubts on the subject. The law required, that on the face ortbe record, the offence with which the prisoner was charged should, for the information of the present age ai well as of the latest posterity, be fully stated, to jus tify the coming judgment. The indictment stated, that the peisron about to receive judgment uttered, knowing it to be forged, a power of attorney purporting to be executed by Frances Young. This was stated to be in violation of the statute; which hid provided the punish ment of death for all who should utter any Singed deed, knowing it to be forged. The forged instrument set forth in the indictment had all the formalties of a power of attorney. It was sealed, and purported to be attested by two witnesses ; so that if it had been genuine, it would have op er at e d f or t h e purposes for which it was intended. It hAd been said, that the word " deed" contained in the statute was to be understood, not as applying universally, but as limited and circumscribed, to instruments of a certain character, of which the pre sent forged document was not one. That argument had) is his opinion, been sufficiently answered at the bar. It had been remarked, that the Court would not allow its judgment to be influenced by the probability of a prisoner escaping unpunished. Judges were bound to administer the law as they found it. lithe law would not reach the offender, he mist go unpunished, and the powers of the law must be extended so as to bring fu. cure of f enders within its reach. It was the duty of the Court to read the law as it was. He must look to the Act of Parliament—that was the text on which he was to comment—that was the role by which his conduct was to be governed—the compass by which he would steer his course. He found, then, that the statute mentioned the word " deed" without any qualification. Them was no exception in favour of a power of attorney. Not even in favour of life to a prisoner, did he dare to write those words in any statute ; it would be as un pardonable as to write in terms of blood something to aggravate his guilt. He could find nothing in the ar guments to convince him that the Legislature, in speak ing of a " deed," meant an instrument convertible into money. He was indeed at a loss to know what deed could be predicated as not convertible into money. A bill on goods was convertible into money as soon as they could be sold. A building lease was convertible into money as soon ; for the moment the holder procures ground and building materials, he may sell it. Those were instruments not convertible into money but by some 'act to be done by the holders of them. That was the 'case with the deed set out in the indictment: by pre tenting it at the Bank, the prisoner was enabled to get into his own hands 5,0001. stock. It was a deed as much convertible into money as any class of deeds whith could be referred to. But what was' to be done in cases where deeds are not immediately convertible into money ? He would suppose A was about to marry B; With whom he received a large portion. When they married, the parties entered into deeds of settlement, the effect of which was to keep the property in the hands of both parties for certain uses ; on the death of one . party, to go to the other ; and on the death of both, to go to the children. Could any one say that this wit a deed convertible into money ; and yet would any one say that it was excluded from' the protection 'of the statute ? In short, if the present case were ex cluded from the operation of the statute, all kinds of deeds would be equally excluded. He might have contented himself with stating that the question had already been argued and determined. He alluded to the case of Waite. Mr. Waite was a Gentleman practising at Bristol as an Attorney. In an evil hour' he executed a forged power of attorney, au ,thorizing a person in London to transfer a quantity of Stockb The person in London, believing the instrument to be genuine, acted upon it. Mr. Waite was indicted, not for forging, but for uttering the instru ment in London, knowing it to be forged. Mr. Waite was convicted, and beyond all doubt properly con victed; but a question arose as to the competency of a witness, which was argued with great ability, amongst others by Mr. Serjeant Bosanquet and the Learned Mr. Campbell. The Judges would never have entertained such a question for a moment, with the fact staring them in the face, that the instrument which had formed the subject of the trial was not a deed in the contemplation of the stUtute. He felt bound to say that he would have felt no difficulty or hesitation in deciding against the point which had been raised on behalf of the prisoner. He would conclude, that in delivering that opinion, he experienced consolation in knowing, that, to the latest period previous to the execution of the sentence (if it should be carried into execution), the prisoner would have the benefit of the united wisdom and learning of those who presided over the adminis tration of the law in this country. The RECORDER expressed his concurrence with the opinion which the Learned Judge had pronounced. Mr. Fauntleroy rose, and read the following statement : My Loan—l am well aware that no emergencies, however pressing—that no embarrassments, however great, can be listened to as an excuse tot the offence of which I have been. found Guilty; but I trust it may be considered as some palliation in a moral point of view, that a desire to preserve myself and others from bank ruptcy, and not personal aggrandizement or selfish gratification alone, urged and impelled me to the acts I have committed; and when I first deviated from recti tude, it was owing to an acute, although, I admit, mis taken feeling, to obtain temporary relief; and not from any deliberate intention to defraud. GOD knows my heart, and the truth of my present declaration, that I hoped, and fully intended to make restitution, imme diately the expected prosperity of the house would have enabled me. This must, I think, my Lord, appear evi dent, from my having frequently replaced the money withdrawn ; and the Bank books will prove, that many of the sums mentioned in the document written in 1816, have been since reinvested by me to the credit of the parties. That document, my Lord, has been supposed to have been prepared in con templation of flight: this idea is, boa ever, erroneous, and is sufficiently refuted by my continuance at my residence and business for years subsequently. The only object and intention of that paper was, in the event of sudden death, before the whole of the money should be reinvested. to absolve every one beside myself even from suspicion. Unfortunately for me,a succession of adverse events, which I could neither avert nor control, (and part of which I detailed at length on my trial), led on from one false step to another, until the affairs of the house became so involved that extrication was im possible. In these di ffi culties, I offered myself as the I only sacrifice ; and it is my duty, as a man and as a . ~;.. Christian, to 4 - ebiga myself to my fate. For me. my Lord, fallen and degraded . as I am, life has no allure. 'swots ; and a momentary pang will at once put an end to thy mental agonies and to my earthly exi s tence. But, my Lord, I have numerous relations,—amongst them, my dear and venerable mother,—whose feelings I re verence; and for their sakes, more than my own, I venture to supplicate that I may not be doomed to suffer a violent and ignominious death. If crime, my Lord, can be atoned for by suffering, tin of fences, heavy as they are, have long been expiated, not merely by tlrb overwhelming embarrassments of the concern in which I was engaged, but by years of anxious terror and agonizing apprehension; and if, my Lord, the anguish of mind I have endured for the last sixteen years of my life, and the peculiar circumstances in which I have been !Aimed ever 'since I arrived at man's estate, could be made known to my Most Gracious Sovereign, I venture to hope that his Majeay's benevolent arid feel- . ing heart would be mottled with compassion for my situation, and that I should not be considered an object wholly undeserving of the Royal clemency. May I, therefore, my Lord, presume to solicit your Lordship's humane interposition, to communicate, for his . Majesty's merciful consideration, the circumstances to which I have alluded : and on behalf of my dearest telations, I supplicate that the awful punishment of death may be remitted." • The unhappy man read audibli and distinctly, except at that past of the address which alluded to his mother! there his voice faultered, and he struck his hand forcibly on the bar. When he concluded, he resumed the calm demeanour which had previously characterized him. The Recourse then passed upon Mr. Fauntleroy and the fol lowing other capital convicts the dreadful SENTENCE OP DEATH. John Cook, alias Cookson, nlint Jackson, for burglary ; William Oliver, for a robbery on the highway ; William Modre, for a like offence; Willi.m Dalton, for home-breaking in the day time; Henry Ferris, fur turglary ; Henry •Lea for stealing in a dwelling. house; John Passenger, for a like offence; Henry John Wails, for a like offence; F.clward Harris, for a highway tobbery ; F..an Williams, for stealing in a dwelling-house; James Adams, for a like offence ; Ann Williamson, for a like offence; Bridget Polley; for a like offence.
