• ii 6 whilst in Dover lie wrote a letter in that assumed name, addressed and sent it to Admiral Foley, at Deal, imposing upon him and at tempt in 4 to make him an instrument in piopagatiog by the telegraph to town the take news which be had spread at Dover; and it was tioally in proof. that he stain queutly absconded, and that not only the musties and bank-notes which he paid at Dover but also on his way to London, were hack rotes mid monies winch had passed through thcbands of Lord Cods: ane, Butt, and Cochrane Johnstone, but that also the hank notes round in his possession, when la was ap. reelteniled in Scotland, CllflVlVOntallg to escape out of the cocmtry, were also bank notes which had been received by him from the same yes sons. With respect to the other defendants, C. Johnstone, Lard £oehrane, and Butt, it was also in evidence that they we holders of stock in the public fields to On immense amount , 501ne o re f wh tiwy purchased so late as the Saturd.sy before the fraud was put into effect: and the false news having readied the stock Exchange at an early port of the morniog,, it had the effeet of raising the fonds, of Ishieli these three persons mailing theintelves, they immediately sold the stock which they had on ham), thereby not only saving themselves from considerable loss which must have otherwise occurred to them on account of the real price of the funds just at that period previ ously, but also put a eousiderable sum into their respective pockets by this contrivance. His Lordship then adverted to the minor part of the conspiracy ; the under plot carried on by ilandem, liolsoway, Light. and M' Rae, at Nor thileet, and thence to London, spreading the same species of false intelligence that De Berenger door, and tracing them from Northfleet and J)artford, acrd to London, and to Lambeth, exactly where De Berenger had stopped likewise, From all this the Learned in his comments, declared, that evi. dence, manifest evidence, of plot, design, mid craft, was brought home to every one of the defendarsts : all of whom were united in the same conspiracy, three of them as principal) e And floe of them as agents; the latter of whom, from their de-perate and embarrassed affairs. were fitly chostn us instruments to put so base a contrivance into execution. The Learned Judge, then turning to Lord Cochrane, particularly addressed himself to him, and observed, that it welt with pain he noticed among the Defendants a person whose high rank, education, attainments, birth, and the honourable distinction which had been bestowed upon him by his Sovereign, and by a grateful people. for Zaunonrable and heroic deeds performed. should be linked with a banditti of depredators of the worst and (oiliest kind. But inas much as be did possess those distinctions and this elevation in so ciety, so much the more was ha criminal in participating with those guilty ofkuders in a crime, which, in its progress, was denoted by every disgraceful act, and in its perpetration by every unseemly characteristic ; it was tainted with meanness, mendicity, awl ava rice; and with three of the adventurers, had not even the palliative Of poverty as an apology for the sin : respecting them, therefore, the Court, in its equal distribution of justice, was hound to Phew them and the world, that as they sought to gratify their passion of conspiracy, and us conspiracy was held in the ;le of the law ()fah iplamons nature, so they must award punishment tvoltjdC.NlVey infamy with it. Some offenders (and it tiequently happees) when bronght up for jnik, , ment, had tae plea of sudden ,gust ofpassion to move them to the commission of . ruse, but here 'here was no such thing. A plot, song devised, stint rainiOed, in many actors, put into effect with 111111iMil C11)10101 and QrtiT Ce marked from its commencement, through its progress, and 't o its peroration, with systematic fraud, was the picture only which C ould be given of it.
