~. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, 'FEBRUARY 10. TIM =VG V. ISA TheAritoserr-Gentam. prayed the judgment orthe Court on the defendant, against whom judgment passed by default, for an assault on certain officers while attempting to execute a warrant at Dover. The Cotner sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for one month, and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for Kent, and give security for his good behaviour for two years, himself in 401. and two sureties in 104 each. THR YURI V. WILLIAM WILLIS. The Armlet:yr-6 EMMA L prayed for judgment on the defendant, who bad pleaded guilty to as information charging him with offer ing a bribe to a revenue-officer. On the part of the defendant, affidavits were put in setting forth that he bad intended the articles smuggled for presents; that he bad lost them all, and suffered much; and that he had borne an excellent character.—The COURT, adverting to those circumstances, only sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for' a month in the King's Bench prison. THIt LINO V. JOHN COLLINS. The A71'011,71E! GHNEItAI. prayed the sentence of the Court against the defendant, who'suffered judgment by . default to a criminal in formation granted by the Court for a libel reflecting on Lord George Seymour, (Me of his Majesty's Commissioners of Excise. The defendant addressed the Court, stating that he was too poor to employ an attorney , and that he now found his affidavits in mi-•, Ligation could not be read, because they were without stamps ; and . he wished the case to stand over till he could stamp them. The Arronstsv-Gxxxitat. said be was quite ready to allow them to he read without stamps ; but he feared it could not be done. The COURT said they had no power to allow this; but as the affidavits had not been used, they might be stamped without a pe nalty, and the case might stand over for the present. IHE LINO V. DAVID IRINA/Wt. The Arroauxv-GuissaL prayed fur judgment on the defendant, a poor Welchman unable to speak English, fur a very violent as sault on an Excise officer at Cardigan. The COUJIT sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for six months in Ilereford THE KING V. BROOKES. The defendant, who is a common brewer at Brent ford, was convicted before a Magistrate for the county of Middlesex of having, contrary to the 35th Geo. 111. cap. 113, retailed beer without having previously taken out a license, and he was therefore tined in the mitigated penalty of 101. He appealed ag.tinst this conviction to the Quarter Sessions, where the conviction was con firmed ; he then moved the cause into this Court for the opinion of their Lordships. Mr. Serjeant PELL this day, in support of the con viction, made some observations, and was proceeding in his argument, when he was interrupted by The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE; Hho observed that it was customary, in a case like the present, when the Court was called upon to give their opinion upon the con struction of various Acts of Parliament, to give them some previous time for consideration. Of this argu ment the Court having hid no previous intimation, the further discussion of it must be put off until next Term. THE KING V. WHITE AND OTHERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a Rule, calling Upon the defendants, who were the Printer, Publisher, and Proprietor of a Newspaper, called the Indian Ob• senor, to thew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them. for having published a libel, charging Sir William ltumbolei with having with others, his partners, in the house of Palmer and Co. at tempted to prove a debt of 700,0001. against the estate of the Nizam of Ilydrabar, although, in fact, they had only advanced a sum of 350,000/. at an interest of 25 per cent.—There also appeared on Saturday last in the office window where this paper was published, a placard, "Sir William Rumbold turned out of India; an at tempt to defraud the Government of 350,0001." Iu support of the motion, the Learned Counsel read the affidavit of Sir William Rumbohl, who swore distinctly that the charges made against hint in that paper were utterly false, and without the least foundation. Their Loid,hips havilig consulted together, The Lon D Cil I EF JUST ICE—Does S:rWililam Rombold deny that he had accepted from the Nizani of Hydra bar a ity for 350,0001. e than had beet: actually advanced? The ATTC , RNEY-GENERAL—No, my Lord; he is not charged with having done so. He is charged with having attempted to prove under such a document; at a meeti i t i lieid by the Commissioners appointed for pay ing off the Nizam's debts, and he swears distinctly that he never has attempted to do so. The CHILE JCSTIEE—He ought to have denied that be had taken such a security, befote lie could be entitled to call up( (1 this Court to grant a criminal information. The ATTAINEY 7 GENERAL then applied for time until to-morrow to attend his affidavit. The application was compli2d THE KING V. THE STEWARD OF THE Bououott OP PETERSFIELD. Mr. GASELEE obtained a Rule, calling upon the de fendant to slew cKnse w•hy a criminal information should not be ti;ed against him for improper conduct, in summoning the July for the Borough Court Le::t. THE KING V. SKETCHLEY. Mr. BROUGHAM applied for leave to file a criminal in formation against the defendant, who is one of the Trustees of Kensington Toll gate. The application was made on the affidavit of Mr. Cobhett, charging the defendant with.neglrct of duty in his character . of Trustee. The COURT did tot see that a ci.rrupt motive was im puted to the defend - E , t, and Mr. BROUGHAM undertook to amend the affidavit. CARD v. This case had been repeatedly argued at great length. It bad been au action upon a covenant. The plaintiffs bad been owners of nine -sixteenths of the Indiaman Herefordshire, and had sold tiveixteenths to the de fendant for MOON. the defendant to be Master of the ship, and the plaintiffs Husband:, and Agents. The LORD CHIEV JUSTICE delivered the judgment of the'Court. They were of opinion, that the contract was illegal, because the appointment of a Ma,ter of a ship so valuable, in such important and difficult navi gation, ought to be free and impartial, and not to be given from interested considerations, or from money given in the form of payment ft , r shares of the ship, or in any other way. In this judgment the Court regarded the East India Company only as charterers of the ship. Judgment for the deiendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEBRUARY to. THURTELL v. T. B. BEAUMONT. Mr. Serjeant VALIGHAN showed cause why the Rule for a new trial in this case should not be. discharged.-- He fully agreed, that it did import the well-being of society, and the credit and secui its- of the Insurance Office, as well as all who had an interest therein, that every opportunity shmrld be furnished of bringing for ward every species of um:olluted evidence, and of ex hibiting in a new light the foul crime of arson, and o f exposing not merely to the penal justice which its evils, monstrous and alarming as they were, must always call for, but to the horror and detestation which it must be entitled to in every well regulated mind. And was it because thay . were deprived of the most material wit ness; because John Thurtell could no longer giv e hi s evidence upon the facts, that they were to presume guilt on that occasion, and send down his brother to a second trial of his case, though involving a capital felony if `the trial should have a different result? In the annals of justice, and the habits of pure administration which they were accustomed to behold there, such an example was not to be met with. This was a civil question, but in. its consequences it reached to credit, to reputation, and to life. Was it then because an individual was so unfor tunately placed, that because he was related to a man who since this action was tried had been convicted of a crime yet more horrible and . foul, that crime for which he had since paid the forfeit of his life, and was there fore utterly removed from a situation of either confirm ing or contradicting his former testimony, that their Lordships were to be called on to send a case marked by so many extraordinary features to the consideration of another Jury ? If, relying on the evidence of one wit ness who had not been before produced, he had reason to believe they who now made this application would be disappointed ; happily those on his side could do without the evidence of John Thurtell; and when he uttered his sentiments with regard to the forthcoming testimony of Hunt, he wished not to create any preju dice; for he knew their Lordships were sitting there for the purpose of dispensing even-handed justice; but they would give to such a miscreant as Hunt all the credit it could at any time be entitled to, and which it would always receive from their Lordships when supported by probability and by facts. Happily they were enabled to oppose Hunt to Hunt ; able not mei ely to oppose him . to a single witness, but to a host of witnesses. So far from being under the necessity of recurring to the for mer evidence of the witness who no loriger existed, they had no fewer than four individuals, who were all more or less implicated in the transaction, and who po sitively denied it. The CHIEF JUSTICE reminded Serjeant Vaughan, that the Jury on the trial expressed their satisfaction that Thomas Thurtell bad no privity with the original firing, and only thought that negligence was proved in sonic degree against him after it was discovered. Mr. Setjeant VAUGHAN said he was much obliged to their Lordships for the interruption, as it would in such a mass of affidavits prevent him from much unnecessary digression, and much waste of their Lordships' valuable time. Who had they to confront then but this witnes? Who had they to confront with Wrigglesworth ? 1k would take this latter person first, aid in the first in. stance would ask who was Wriggleswortli ? He was a discarded servant, and although that dismissal was not in itself a ground to presume guilt, yet he was bound to say that Messrs.Margrave were matey at any time when they should be so required, to state the grounds of that dismissal. Putting then this man's evidence out of the balance for the present at least, did their Lordships think that when Wrigglesworth should be placed on One side of the Court and exhibited against Messrs. Hargrave on ' the other, his character against their character, and his testimony against theirs, that it would not heap an ad ditional burthen of discredit upon the load under which he was now sinking? True it was it was sworn he had no interest in the cause; but was it because he had no in terest now, that they were to conclude he might have none hereafter? and he put this the more strongly, be cause he knew he was addressing himself to men who were not only of great learning in their profession, but who were men of the world, and men of an excellent understanding. They, on his side, had to produce wit nesses who could not possibly be charged with any want of respectability or credit; they had to produce Messrs. Margrave, who were so anxious to clear themselves from the foul stigma and from that reproach and suspicion which might otherwise attach to their credit with the world, that they had furnished every paper that lay within their reach,and were ready to assist in producing every species of evidence that could tin ow any light upon the transaction, or assist in forwarding the ends of justice: they had had to produce Mest s. Morrison and fOdd as to the identity of one poi tion of the goods. And they had witnesses of another description : they had not only Miss Snowden, a buyer of these goods, but they had liosset, the watchman, whose post and position seas just opposite to tire house in Watling.sti eet, and who saw the flames at the moment of their explosion. Happily Ice contradicted the entice story told by Wriggles Wot th. (here Seijeant Vaughan took a long and elaboraterriew of the whole evidence as touching the question of a con spiracy ; and contended that not only was the balance of credibility such as would support this verdict, but to remove from his client every shade- and every suspicihn of guilt.) Admonished as he hid been by the. Court, hos, ever, not to transgress the inlet boundaries and forms of their proceedings, in a case so delicate as this, it v as far from his intention, and still farther from his purpose so to do. Mr. Justice PARK observed, that there must be an end of granting these new trials, if they could nor discuss the evidence with regularity and fairness. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN was again obliged to their Lordships, and should probably feel himself able to compress what remained in: him to say in the substance of a few words. His Learned Friend (Mr. Se:jeant who was to follow him, would not fail to point our the strong parts of the case, to give it due weight, and contrast the evidence of every witness, to chew to their Lordships, who were in some degree exercising the functions of aJury, how this transaction had originated, how it had gradually been matured, and how the in• demnity had been since recovered. He would satisfy them that if Thomas Thu: tell n ere ever so profligate and cot rupt a man—so reckless of his fame and of his character— , o bent upon doing others mischief—that was not-the time in which lie would be found harbour- ing these n►achinations in his heart. Upon all these, and others which he should now dismiss, he did im plore their Lordshii,s not to make this Rule for a new absolute; and if ever such an infringement of the sacredness of justice were to be permitted, he would now appeal not to their justice only, but their humanity. Mr. Serjeant PELL followed, and observed, that in this unprecedented case he was anticipated by his Learned Brother. (Vaughan), to whom be was bound on this oc casion to pay the tribute of his applause, and who, in his jndgment, had sifted the evidence to the very bran. Mr. Beaumont lose, in the hope that he should be al lowed to wipe off the aspersions which had been thrown out upon his character, before his Counsel entered upon their argument. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he was not aware of any aspersions. Mr. Beaumont said, it had been thrown out that Wrigglesworth was about to give his testimony under the temptation of a reward. Mr. Justice PARK observed, he was not aware that Mr. SerjeantVaughan had exceeded the ordinary bounds of Counsel when commenting upon evidence. Either, however, the GeNtleman must come forward by his Counsel, or by himself in his own behalf. The Court would then listen to him with cheerfulness, but they could not sacrifice the rules and laws of their proceeding. Mr. Serjeant TADDY agreed that this was an unprece dented case; but if it *vas meant to insinuate that be cause one agent or one witness in a crime had been since convicted of a capital offence, therefore there was no ground for any ulterior proceeding, that argunient he begged leave most explicitly to deny. If it were well founded, a criminal would have to add a fresh load to his weight of guilt, and to make it yet more apparent in the eyes of all mankind, to secure himself from his due punishment. He would now say to his Learned Friends, that their evidence it was his inten tion to contravert, and their inferences to impugn.— (Here Mr. Taddy took a clear and minute view of the whole case, from the commencement of the affair with- the lasurance Office.) Mr. Serjeant Caoss took the same side, and the Judges left the Court as soon as the argument was brought to a conclusion, for the purpose of giving their decision upon it to-morrow.
