The indictment recited the application, which w.ss in the printed form as prescribed by Act of Parliament, the.breocb of which constituted the prisoner's offence. Mr. Turners addressed the • Jury, explained the nature. of the Sd sects of the Act of 55th of the King, against Which this offerice.was committed, and re counted' the eircuntstantei of the prisoner's conduct. By the section in question it was enacted, that if any person represents herself or himself to be the widow, the son, Bcc. or next of kin to a deceased seaman, falsely and fraudulently hi an. application to the Treasurer, the Paymaster. or Commissioners of at Navy, in order to obtain a certificite, and to be ena bled to take oat letters of administration to the effects belfroging to the deceased, either as wages or prise , ney, she or .be commits an offence by which they louse the penalty of transportation for seven years. The degrees of relationship which constitute the next of kin are there enumerated, the widow being the first; is ease of no widow, the child ; in case of no child. father ;• in the failure of a surviving lather, the brother; and so on. In this case the prisoner, who was the brother of the deceased, represented himself to be next of kin. though he knew that the deceased left a son who had a. preferable claim. The forms prescribed by the act require the Paymaster or the "Treasurer of the Navy, upon any application for a certificate, to send down t 6 the Minister of the parish in which the claimant resides, a copy of the petition and of the certificate, together with a letter, enjoining him:toss-Mame the claimant as to his righera obtain dos, testimony of two respectable hatrttfKMtlets among his parishioners, as to the relatiortrhiprek"* claitnantanislit ;he deceased; and after filling I* die blanks 'with" the necessary information attairelniy himself, and the two inhabitant householders, to return the petition and certificate to the Navy-pay Office. All these forms were complied with on the present occasion, and the pi isoner would have obtained the object of his application, and would have proceeded to take out letters of administration, which would have subjected him to. a capital punishanent, hadthe tertificate not been stopped, upon an.upplicatiop to the. Navy-pay office, by the son of the deceased and the nephew of the prisoner.. The prisoner, therefore, gained no advantage by his traudutent attempt, but be had nevertheless rendered himself liable to the Realties of the statute.

The prisoner then asked witness if be bad received any paPees relating to him in that:sopa, city from the Treasurer of the Navy Office; saYing,.. at thesame time, that there was a good deal of money due to his deceased brother at the time of bla death. .Withers told him to produce two respectable inhabit.. 140 householders to attest his claim in terms of the %Wine, and the prisoner, going away, soon returned with .

The nephew said he should be very glad at the event of obtaining the money. The relationship of this person to the cleaned was then, proved by the certificate of die marriage of his father with Mary Perlis% ea the Ist opt January, 17911, and by the registry of bishiPtins, as the son of Richard and Nary Herdsman, on the • , fid of May, 1799. as Well as by Jade lobes% Who Was present-at his birth. Oeoege Herdsman, the son and next of kin to the deeeatted, deposed, that he remembered conversing with his uncle about the death of his father, and the money that was due tit him at the time of hit decease.

It was difficult to un derstand either the account gives by the uncle or the' nephew, or how far the former might have thought' he had obtained the concurrence of the latter in the steps which he took. The discovery of the boy's prior claim was made_ by the Navy Office, from a letter addressed to it by the person to whom the ne phew was apprenticed. The prisoner produced several witnesses to character. The Judge. Mr. Baron Woos, in sommin b o , tip to the Jury, said, the representation was certainl y false, i but there was some doubt as to its being fraudulent, from the communications which the prisoner bed had -with his nephew, which were not very consistent with a dais to defraud him; though, at the sone time, I the account that he gave to the clergyman, and the 1 two householders - who attested his certificate. seemed to favour that supposition. As the prisoner had pro. duced several witnesses to character, who spoke highly r,f his honesty, this circumstance should have some weight in a question of fraud where the evi dence was . acs very clear.—Not Guilty. . : XfANSLAUGHT2II. . ..t..sver Ferrer and Fraiscir Briggs, both of Watley, in the parish of H.alifits, in the county of York, labourers, were charged, with killing and slaying George Ho.
