This was an indictment against the defendants Collins and NI ills, for a conspiracy. the charge against • them being, that they, together with the late Sir N. Conant, being Licensing Magistrates for the County of Middlesex, had, from corrupt motives, conspired to ref u,e to grant a license to J. Meek, the prose cutor, for his house, the Green Man, in St. John's lane, Cle' kenwell, in the year 1816, and continued to refuse the sa.d license, by which arbitrary and cor rupt conduct the prosecutor had suffered great loss, and been entirely ruined. At a former trial the de fendant were found guilty, but had applied fur and obtained a new trial, and the case came on this day for a second bearing. Mr. Sc A RLETT opened the case for the prosecution the facts are detailed in the following evidence: James Meek stated, that in the month of Novem , ber, 1814, he purchased the lease of the Green Man, St. John's-lane, Clerkenwell, and entered on posses sion on the 3d of that month ; in the course of that and the following .year he laid out £3OO on the pre• raises; he gave for the lease £330, and for fixtures £l6l. It was an old•establilied house, and existed as a public-house 200 years. The tap-room was parted ; spirits were sold in one division ; there was a' bar and pat lour; two doors opened into it from the passage leading into the street. Witness made the tap-room three times as large as it was beforehe took the house. The sale of beer when he took the lease was two butts a month ; he first dealt with Calvet t and Co. then with Meux, Reid, and Co. Ile went to them in March, 1815. and continued to deal with them till the 28th of September, in the same year; his license was renewed in 1815 without difficulty. Sir N. Conant, Mr. Mills, Mr. Collins, and others were present. His consumption had increased to three and four butts a month ; but on his ceasing to deal with Meuz and Co. it increased to ten butts; he then dealt with Barclay and Co. In 1815 he engaged a man, named Rawlins, to draw beer for him ; Rawlins left his service in June, 1816 ; his general account was transferred from sfeux to Barciay's house. The Green Man is in Finsbury division, and in September 1816, he attended with the other victuallers to have his license renewed. A beadle was sent out of the Magistrates' room, stating what licenses were sus pended; witness was in the list; did not see the Ma gistrates that day. Mr. Cotterel and Mr. Sellon, two Magistrates, came to him on the 9th, and made a minute examination of his premises. Ile then en quired if any complaint had been made against him ? The Magistrates said they had never heard anything disrespectful of him. They inquired if he had taken any premium for his beer trade? he assured than he had not, and described how his beer trade had been managed by Rawlins. He also inquired whether it would - be necessary he should petition the Magistrates on the adjournment day? The High Constable, who was with them, said it was nos usual, and they said he need not. The High Constable, Mr. Hill, re marked that the floor of the bar had been altered, and witness told die Magistrates he hadmade no 'hew door, but if it did not meet their approbation, he would alter it, and pointed out the door of the Queen's Bead opposite, which was in the same situation. He pointed out the size of his tap-room, which was capable of containing 40 or 50 persons. On the 18ch he went to Clerkenwell to appeal. Sir N. Co nant, Mr. Collins, Mr. Mills, .and the Rev. Dr. Gaskin were present. One Of the Magistiates asked what brewer he dealt with? and he told them Barclay and Co. and offered to produce brewers and distillers' books to shew his consumption.— His consumption of spirits was £2O a month. They would not see them, and Mr. Cotterell said to one of the Magistrates," Sir, you know nothing of the case." He was then ordered to withdraw, and when called in again; he found Sir Nathaniel Conant speaking to Mr. Collins, the Chairman, and he was again or dered to withdraw. Hill afterwards came to him, and said his license was stopt. On inquiry he was told there was another adjournment day on-the 21st of January, against which time he prepared a Peti tion, which was signed by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood and the Churchwardens; On the 20th he saw Sir N. Conant at Freemasons' Tavern, and had some conversation with hint respecting his license. Sir Nathaniel said he recollected nothing against him, and did not know where his house was situated. He was told to go to the Sessions House the next day ; he did so, and delivered his Petition to Mr. Richards, l • Clerk to the Magistrates. Shortly after he was called in, and found Sir N. Conant, Mr. Sellon, and other Magistrates assembled. Sir Nathaniel said the Chair nsan, •Mr. Collins, was not present, and they could not sit in his absence. He applied for a renewal of his license in 1817. Ili• Petition was signed as before. The same six Magistrates were present as before ; but lie was told it would not lie granted, the same rea son still existed for refusing it. That reason was ; that - • • • • . - . • • • the Mute was itted up as nipirit atop, inicl.khat the tier trade in spirits was greater than the tvadein_beer.-- I' Three or four Magistrates said therkaihittier made any such objection. The Churthwatten; 'who had been visiting constable, was asked What hiiititild say. idainst witness's house ? His reply was; nothing .but the t . !verse. He applied again in 1818, • the same Magistrates were again present. He had a similar, Petition, and stated the loss he had sustained,'but still he could not get his license. In 181.9 he applied in like manner, still he could not get his license. la 1816 he saw Mr. Lucas at Cleikenwell ; but in 1817 . he saw Willis, who had succeeded as nranaging c lerk to ;!lens and Co. He had .some conversation with Lucas in 1816. • The SoLICITOR-GIiNERAL and Mr. GUItSaT ob jected to conversation betweentucas and the witness. Mr. ScARLETT and Mr. DENMAN contended that this evidence ought to be received, as this was a conspiracy between the,persons named ih the record and other individuals not named; and therefore they were at liberty to examine as to conversations with other persons, to shew that those were the persons unknown who joined in the conspiracy. The SoLicyroa-Gasienat. said his Learned Friends were mistaken ; the record did not allude to any un known conspirator, and therefore the inquiry must be confined to the acts or declarations of those indivi dbals, and must not have the evidence of third per sons thus introduced. If they thought fit, they might call Mr. Lucas, and examine him as to facts. The Ciller Justice was of opinion the evidence of Lucai's declaration could not be received, unless there was a foundation laid for it, by chewing communica tion and concert between him and the persons charged on the record. Examination resumed.—Mr. George Dell's license Was refused. In 1817, when witness petitioned for a renewal, Dell was there ; Willis was also in attend ance; Mr. Wigton', a partner with Mzuz, was also there ; saw Mr. Willis take a card from his pocket, write the name of Wigram on it, and send it into the room by the dour-keeper. Soon after. Sir N. Conant Came out, and he and Mr.Wigram went into another room. Afterwards Sir N. Conant returned into the Magistrates room, and Mr. Willis was joined by Mr. Wigram, who communicated something which brought a smile on Dell's countenance. Dell was soon after called in, and had his license renewed.— Had heard that Dell did not draw more than two butts a month, and he had two doors, and continued to have them. Mena and Co. were his brewers.— After Dell had received his license, he and Willis went to a public-house together. The Queen's Head had t.• o doors, but the license was never suspended. The brewers, in 1816, were Meux and. Co. The• Swan sold spirits also, but the license was not stopt. Ten butts a month is a large consumption of beer; £2O a month is not a large sale of spirits. Mr. Sel lon arid Mr. Cotterell are both very active Magis trates; Mr. Cotterell lives near to witness; Mr. Sellon in Hatton-garden. The Petition presented by witness to the Magi*. trines was put in and read. Cross-examined.—Will not swear that July, 181 - 5, was his last account with Meux ; thinks his first communication with Barclay and Co. was in March, 1815 ; a man named Stables was in the tap-room before Rawlins. There was, originally, a passage separating the tap-room from the spirit shop ;in the tap-room there was a small bar, for the person who cold the beer ; in the gin shop there was a counter, similar to those used in gin shops ; there was a door from the passage, and one from the street, and per sons might enter one door and go out at the other, without going into the tap-room ; previous to 1815, beer was drawn in. the bar ; the average profit of a butt of beer is about 21. out of which witness had a guinea, and Rawlins the rest; there wat.a number of Gentlemen and others with Sir Nathaniel when wit ness saw him at the Freemasons"favern. Mr. Col lins said to witness, 44 we are satisfied with your cha racter ;" Messrs. Hendersim and Smith were original attornies for witness ; at present Williams and Co. were his solicitors; does not know that Henderson and Smith were solicitors to the Associated Victual lers ; does not. know of such a Society. The Publi cans appointed a Committee amongst themselves, but did not know that Henderson and Smith were their solicitors. In November, 1818, witness took a house in Ckandos-street, and continued in it until the latter end of 1319, from' which time, till within the last six months, he had been out of business ; he was now a publican in Holborn; had received a sub scription since the time of the last trial ; the subscrip tion was still going on; witness paid Mr. Hender son's bill after his death ; was not furnished with money Kt pay that bill, but had, since the last trial, received 4001. or-5001. from the subscription ; after obtaining the Rule for a criminal information, he did 'receive 501. did 'swear at last trial, that he had re ceived nothing towards the prosecution, but he had,. in fact, received 501. he did not mention it, as no question was put to him about it; he received 501. before this prosecution was instituted. ate-examined.--The spirit shop remained the same as when he took it, except that he fitted it up more commodiously, and so that persons might sit down and have beer there if they chose to do so. By the Cam Jesaace.—The costs of the last trial were paid by defendants to witness's attorney. Thomas Hill, in 1816, was High Constable of Cletkenwell Division, and, as such, Inspector of pub lic-houses. It was his duty to report any irregulari• ties to the Magistrates. Mr. Meek was in the house' about two years, and during that time it was well conducted. Don't know a house in the metropolis better fitted up for the accommodation of Transpers (persons walking into. London) than the Green Man is. Remembers W. Clark coming into the room whilst the Magistrates were assembled. He was a Constable, and the Magistrates asked him if he knew of any public-houses fitted up as spirit shops? He said, several, and mentioned Mr. Meek's house. The Magistrates did not.ask him any questions respecting Mr. Meek, in witness's heating. Witi.ess accom panied Mr. Sellon and Mr. Cotterell to view Meek's house. Thaw two Magistrates expressed themselves satisfied. The intimation of the Magistrates to wit ness was, that one of the doors should be stopped, but they gave him no positive orders, and therefore he told Mr. Meek he had better let. it rest till alter the adj,burnment-Liy. At the adjournment-day there was no discussion On the .subject of the license till Sir N. Conant came in. Sir N. Conant, Mr: Mills, and Dr. Gaskin • voted against the license; Mr. Sci- ,4, 74 * '!* • • infant + N.

In those characters he visited public-houses,' and, amongst others, Mr. Meek's. So far asregarded the regularity and decency of the house, he consi dered it as extremely welt conducted, and conve niently fitted up for the accommodation of the Pub lic. Did not know a house in the parish better con ducted. On hearing Meek's license was stopped, he attended the Magistrates on the adjournment day. Mr. Collins asked him what he had to say respecting Mr. Meek's house? if he had anything to say'agastist it, they were ready to hear him. Witness observed, he had nothing to say against Mr. Meek or the house, but came to speak to his character. Cr6ss-examined.—Don't recollect that Mr. Collins . said—e We have nothing to say against Mr. Meek's chat acter." George Dell kept the Hat and Feathers,,in Wil derness-row, in 1816 ; in that year his license was not renevied. Meux and Reid had been his brewers; but in September he had said he should cease to deal' with them, and went to pay his account about five days before the adjournment day. He then Ordered six butts of beer, but they were not sent. On the 24th of September he saw Mr. Collins, who said he had seen Mr. Wigram, arid he was very sorry his license was stopped. His license was restored in 1817. Witness was in the habit of drawing about three butts of beer a month. His spirit trade, wholesale and re tail, was 300/. or 400/. a month. His retail spirit trade was above 1001. a month. In 1816 he had made complaints of his beer, and had given notice to them that he intended to change .his brewer. Be tween the stoppage of his license, in 1816, and -re newal, in 1817, he had• no communication with Lucas nor Willis. No application was made to him before his license was renewed in 1817. He did-not see Willis till lie saw him at Clerkenwell on the day his license was renewed. He made no arrangement for having his beer till after he had again obtained his license. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendants, Its rose tinder great' difficulties to, address them, not out of apprehensions arising Out of - the case which had been made against the defence dints, but from the fear lest he should not do justice to the venerable individual whoni he had now to dee' fend, whose chat acter was well known and justly estimated by . the many eminent and highly respect able individuals who now surrounded him, ready to bear testimony to that character. Mr. Collins now stood on the very verge of eternity, being now in his 1 88th year, 40 of which he had passed in the active o.ervice of the Public, his conduct not having once, during the whole of that period, been questioned till this time. Of another of the individuals, whose name had been put on this recoid (Sir N. Conant) he would say nothing. T 1 a individual had departed to anotlirr world, and was not subject to the judgment of - an earthly tribunal. On Sir Conant's character he would not say a word. Of the third defendant, Mr. Mills, lie would not say a word. The defence of Mr. Mills was entrusted to the able hands of his Learned Friend (Mr. Gurney). Of Mr. Meek he would say, in the outset, that he had been misdescribed by his Learned Friend in his opening ; he had been des scribed as a humble, oppressed, unbefriended dual ; whereas, on the contrary, Mr. Meek was sup ported by a most powerful and overbearing body, many of whose Members now filled the Court—the Society of LicensedVictuallers, who had already sub scribed 4501. for him, and the subscription was still going on. The question to-day was not whether Mr. Meek's license was properly or improperly refused ? but whether it had been done by Mr. Collins from a corrupt motive. This was the charge against him, for which, on the evidence as it now stood, he contended, there was not • the least pretence; and he would call witnesses to prove there never could have been grounds for any such charge.— The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to comment on the evidence for the prosecution, and contended that Meek's house was of such a description that, under the provisions of the 17th Geo. 11. the Magis trates could not licence, it being, in fact, a public house with a spirit-shop attached it, though with all the characteristics of a separate establishment. He also contended that, on the evidence as it now stood, there was not the slightest te.timony to prove that Mr. Collins voted at all on the question for granting the license er refusing it. Dr. Gaskin, Mr. Sellon, or Mr. Cotterell might haie been called to prove this fact, if it really existed. The truth was, that Mr. Collins was in the Chair, and therefore did.not vote at all. He concluded by stating that he would call a host of witnesses to speak to tie: character of Mr. Collins, and, having done so, leave his client in their hands, fully confident that their verdict would entirely agree with the high character which the object of this inquiry would receive. Mr. GURNEY, on behalf of Mr. Mills, submitted to the Jur y chat the statement of the case by his Learned Friend, Mr. Scarlett, was not even in the slightest degree established ; and further, that no part of the evidence now called for the prosecution at all affected Mr. Mills. The Learned Counsel then passed through the evidence cif Meek, and the other witne,ses for the prosecution; eulogised Mr. Mills, and concluded, as the Solicitor-General had done, by. stating. that he would. call witnesses to character, and, having dote 'so, cenfideutly anticipate a verdict in his favour.
