COURT OP KING's BENCH, MAY 25. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. • Three of the perfons indufted for polling fiaitious votes for Sir Francis Burdett, at the late Middlefex Ele&ion, were on Saturday brought up for judgmenr, which was pronounced by Mr. Juflice GROSE in the following manner : Thomas Price, otherwife gobs Wright, you are to receive the fentence of this g obs by a Jury of your country on an indiament, which charges that you claimed to be admitted to poll for one of the Reprefentatives to ferve in this preterit parliament for the county of Middlefex ; and that for the purport of perverting the due and legal courfe of eleCtion and to cauf e and p rocure Si r F ranc i s B urdett to he wrongfully eluted one of the Knights of the county of Middlefex, you falfely, wickedly, and corruptly (wore that you were a freeholder of that county, and that your freehold crintified of a houfe in the occu pation of youtfelf, flowed at N.B, Bell-court, Gray's inn-lane, and that the place of your abode was at No. 8, Bell-court, Gray's-inn-lane. Upon that in diament you have been tried and conviaed on evi (km; which, I believe, leaves no dsu!t in the mind of any one perfon who has heard it, or has read the trial, that you la ere guilty of the foul crime of per jury. IVhen we recollect the popular confufion at the eledion of a Reprefentative of a large and pa pulous county, by the arts of tome afferting to be freeholders, having no freehold, and others voting in the names of pertons who have already voted, and others attempting to vote a fecond time, by fuch frauds violating the rights of the freeholders, delay ing the election, and ponibly procuring a falfe and injurious return, sc e do not wonder the Legiflature, feeling the pernicious confequences of loch delays and inconvenieacies, fhould, by a very wife law, have framed an oath, which it is in the power of the Can didates to compel every Eleaor to take, that every fuch perfon has a freehold, and to fpecify the nature of it, and the names of the poffeffors of it. To you, claiming to ezercife the rights of a freeholder, for the wife purpofes of the nature, this oath was adrninif tered, and by you taken ; and by which it appears that you, under the affumed name of jobs Wright, (wore you were a Freeholder of the county of Mid dlefex, and that your freehold confined of a houfe in the occupation of yourfelf, at No. 8, Bell -court, Gray's-inn-lane; and by the fame evidence, it equal , ly clearly appears, you had not any fuch freehold, nor any other ; and that by the oath you took, you committed a Ind nadcorrupt pedury. I ore there words, becaufe by the evidence it appeals, what was done by you was dyne in confequence of a great and exiesfi've J . Vem, to procure thole who were wicked enough to yield to the temptation far money, to go either in their own nameo or in the names of others, to fwear they were {cited of freeholds that did not belong to them, and, if pofiible, to procure the return of the candidate. That this was fo proved by one witnefs, who (wore that you raid you had done the trick for Sir Francis Burdett, and that you would go and do it again ; and by another, who lys, that atter you re ceived eighteen thiilings you grumbled at having fo little ; and the reafen of your grumbling is explained in a former part of the evidence, from which it ap pears, that when you mentioned it to a man of the name of Taylor, he raid he did not care how often you voted, you fhould have a pound note every time. The guilt of him who authorizes the bribe, of him who gives it, and of him who receives it, is, in mon carer, nearly equal : and this your offence, as laid in the indiament, is completeryproved, the law broken, and the chic& of the Legiflature to fecu re th e r i g ht s o f the Freeholders, wholly defeated. The aggravation of your offence is great, becaufe you committed it in combination with others, and for a bribe ; and if you had been entitled to vote, it would have been equally illegal and corrupt. By whom this fyllem of perjury and bribery was invented, does not appear, although the names of fame are mentioned, who teem to have taken an adive part in carrying it into execution.— But whoever invented it, it is a fyfiem planned to infringe the tights of the legal eleaors, in contami nation of the purity required by the law, and in vio lation of the conflitution. Thole alone fhould vote for the eleaion of Knights of the Shire, who have attained the age of twenty-one years. who have been in polreffion of the rents and profits of their freeholds for twelve calendar months, and who are not cor rupted by bribes. Thnfe who are rids, and have been able to encourage, and have encouraged fo baneful a fyflem, by corrupting the young, the ignorant, and didrefred, whole wants were not able to withfland the temptation, have much to answer for. How much of our rights and liber tiu., and how much of our property, and what is of fig! more importance to us, how much our reputation does depend on the due obfervance of an oath ? The mind (tarts with hor • tor at the daily repeated negle& of that obfervance, and laments that this aa of the Legiflature lhould have been Co frunrated. For this evil the Legiflature in their wifdom, have pi efcribcd the punilhment, and it is our duty on this occafion, to follow it up, in order to prevent the commiCtion of fimilar offences in future ; and therefore this Court, for this offence which you have committed, loth order and adjudge, that you be iroprifoned in his Majefly's gaol of New gate, for the Ipace of one calendar month ; and at the expiration of that tin.e that you be tranfported to loch place or places beyond the feas, as his Majefty, with the advice of his Privy Council, !hall think fit to direet and appoint, for the term of 7 years." A fimilar featence was pronounced on the other prifoners. THE ZINC M. WILLIAM Ur. This perfon, found guilty of having naval fibres in his poifeffion, was fentenccd to two years imprifon ment in Maiditone jail. The ju fge again remarked on the midaken views by which criminals of this def. cription obtained an univerfal good charader, fo that it teemed to be expedient, by tome exemplary pu. nithment, to convince the public that the violation of law mull ever b.: preceded by depravity of mind.
