K " COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—MoNDAT. itlt d p i [so before the Ouse Jusuce,Westminster.] BYRNE V. TAMES. Mr. Pas-Tensors opened the pleadings. This action, he said, was'bronght to recover several sums of money received by the defendant for the ptaintiff's use, which he refused to pay. The damages were laid et SOU M CLIARLBS PHMLIPS stated the case. He began by lamenting that be should have a case like the present to state against any man. The defendant had lately filled the office of High Sheriff of London. and was so well known that not to know Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins would argue that one must be Mine& unknown. He was known to be a man who interested himself in the affairs of almost every other man in the community. The plaintiff was equally known for his misfortunes ; be did not wish to allude more than was necessary to a transaction from which, all who felt for the honour of our common nature omit turn with loathing. But his client had become known for his sufferings and misfortunes. He filled an bumble situation in Ireland, in which he became known to a person who had lately fled from this country. It became the duty of Byrne to God and man to accuse that high person of an offence at which nature shudders. Byrne was poor the culprit he accused was rich—be was a Bishop. it was thought proper by the Bishop and his friends that be should prosecute Byrne for daring to accuse him, and that exalted person, as he was then in office and public estimation, attested on the gospels of truth, that he was falsely accused by Byrne—Byrne was convicted, and suffered a dreadful punishment. it pleased God to afford to this afflicted man the consolation of believ ing that he was not to go down to his grave the victim of perjury—his accuser had been detected in his guilt— he had fled, and Byrne was restored to the character he had never done any thing to forfeit. The story of Byrne's suf ferings naturally excited the commisseration of the people of this country. The Gni se JUSTICE here asked Mr. Phillips, whether the cause might not be advantageously settled out of court? Mr. Pm wins replied, that his instructions required that the cause should proceed. The Learned Gentleman conti nued—A subscription was set on foot to enable Byrne,who bad been ruined by the false accusation brought against biro, to support his wife and seven children. Mr. Parkins saw the subscription advancing—he thought money was to be made by it, and Ile determined to seize the golden op portunity. He wrote to Byrne to come over to this country, promising him that his fortune would be certain. Byrne, delighted with the flattering prospect, lost no time in cool ing over, when he found the Ex-Sheriff had appointed himself Treasurer to the subscription, and had taken the trouble of receiving the money, but poor Byrne did not then suspect that it was not the Es-Sheriff's intention to disburse. Nothing could exceed Byrne's gratitude to his benefactor, who promised him a flowing subscription ; to set him up in business; to take a house for him; to pur chase coach and horses for him ; in short, to make his for tune. Byrne and the Ex-Sheriff were at that time two of the happiest mortals. Byrne was to get money, and the Ex-Sheriff to get character, which was precisely what they both wanted. I n the midst of all the Ex-Sheriff's promises to Byrne; he had an eye to what he never forgets himself ; be bad a house, coach-house, and stables to let, and lie put Byrne and his family to live in the house and shew the premises, by which he was saved the expence of keeping a person for that purpose. Poor Byrne was glad to get a roof over his head, and was truly grateful for his patron's great kindness. The Ex-Sheriff proceeded in h is career of benevolence—be advertised for subscriptions for poor Byrne in all the newspapers—he got up public meetings and public dinners, where he was forced to take the chair, very much against his will, and even most reluctantly to toast his own health, and make speeches in his own praise. He ate till every one thought he was full, and spoke till every one was convinced lie was empty. (A laugh.) Every day brought additions to the fame of the Ex-She riff. till the fatal day which called on him to account—the• Est-Sberiff was acquainted with the drama—he thought that none but slaves should pay. Byrne asked him, had be not received for him? The Ex-She riff said yes, hut he held in trust for the people, and when the sum became a round one he would boy Irish coach ; Byrne said, if be was to wait till then, it was a hearse he'd have occasion for, as he should die of hunger. " You monster of ingratitude," exclaimed the Ex-Sheriff, " do you isrget the twopence-halfpenny I gave you in the Shades?" And here, said the Learned Gentleman, holding sip a paper, is the twopence-halfpenny charged in the Ex- Sheriff's account.—(A laugh.)-1t was impossible fer Byrne to obtain any justice from the Ex-Sheriff, and be was enabled by those who hail hearts to feel for his dis tress and his injuries, to bring the present action to compel Parkins to restore the money with which he was entrusted. What would the Jury and the public think of a man who could take advantage of misfortune like Byrne's, who could make this misfortune and the charity of the public pander to his avarice and his vanity ? When Parkins was pressed to render an account, and saw it could not be delayed, he produced an account of nis disburse ments very different from the set off be now undertakes to prove, although there has been no subsequent transactions between the parties. No doubt his Attorney had advised the alteratiou,for some of the charges were too shameful for the conscience of any attorney to sanction. One of the charges made against Byrne byjthe Ea-Sheriff was SI. 125. fur publishing a pamphlet to vindicate his own character. If the pamphlet produced that effect, it was certainly very cheap (a laugh) but that was no reason poor Byrne should pay. The Ex-Sheriff might make his mind easy aboat his character, for it was certainly the last thing any one would wish to take from him (laughter). The jury would judge of the charges. Parkins having elected himself Treasurer, paraded poor Byrne from tavern to tavern for the gratification of his vanity, and this was one of his reasons for refusieg to . pay Byrne his money. Advertise ments ware published in every paper, and the name of Parkins. the friend of justice and !lawsuits , . and Byrne. was placarded oa every wall. He beat little Wssldingtoo, and even Day and Martin, and the Bonassus, out of the field (much laughter). By these means, for all of which be charged poor Byrne, the Ex-Sheriff so greatly added to his celebrity, that be was not very far. in his own opinion, from being returned a Member of Parliament, and had a very narrow escape of a French Peerage (continued laugh ter). He bad put himself forward as the Champion of humanity, and drank deep of the cup of popularity, for all which be wishes poor Byrne to pay. He charges in his set-off 121. 18s. for clerks be had before he ever beard of Byrne—he might as well charge him for his horses, for his liveries, or for the expence of his Arundel Petition, or any other notoriety trap . If the money was all turned in to brass, it would not equal the brass of the man that made the charge. Bet the next charge capped the climax — Would they believe that the Es Sheriff actually charged Byrne, the creature of public charity, 541. rent, at the rate of 1041. a year for the hones) be put him to live in for his own convenience ? and be now calls upon the Jury to sanction that charge by their verdict; they should consider the erect each a verdict would have on the national accent ; if it were to go to Cork sod Tipperary that Bryne was able to pay a rest .of 1041. a year for a house, and by the next fair wind, they would have sods flights of Irishmen as would be sufficient to nattwalise the Irish tongue in this country. Ilmighter.) The Learned•Dentleman here read the charge foe rose fawn the set-off, and asked, " was ever any thing soshamolose and abandened?" Byrne, who lied not a shoe to pis, foot, Oho was not able to keep a cat, was to he charged sent for a coach-house and two sets of stables; did it net damp reprobation on the whole set-off? Parkins knew that Byrne was a ruined man--that he bad a wife and seven children in a starving condition, with nothlog bat i~ THE STATESMAN his tears and misfortunes for their support ; and, while he was in this state, Parkins wanted the Jury to believe that he took him as a solvent tenant, at a rent of 104/. a-year. He (Mr. Phillips) had seen many cases of injustice and fraud, but it was for the Ex-Sheriff to give the example to wealth pilfering from charity and misfortune, while boast ing of being the champion of injured innocence. Byrne bought he had met with a good Sam aritan, but all the Ex- Sheriff's professions were but the false dice with which he gambled for popularity, and after he bad obtained it, he charged Byrne with all the cost of the acquisition, and a profit for himself. It would be proved that Parkins ad mitted lie had received 300/. for Byrne. after which he re ceived 5/. from Sir Francis Burdett. By his set-off, be says, he disbursed all ; but it would be proved that he gave as a reason for not paying Byrne, that if lie got the money, he would abandon his family, thus adding slander to injus tice. Ile hoped the Jury would, by their verdict, show that they were not to be imposed upon by the set-off of the Ex-Sheriff, that their verdict would take from him the public money with which be was entrusted, which trust he had abused, and would give to the poor man what the public benevolence intended he should receive, and would shew to all, that in this country character is only to be raised on the bases of honour and virtue.—[On the conclu sion of this speech, a burst of applause took place.] Charles Scott examined by Mr. Battesby.—l was in the employment of Mr. Parkins, and left bins for some time but returned in October, 1822 ; 1 had then a conversation with him about Byrne. Mr. Parkins and the subscrip tion for Byrne was going on wonderfully, he hail then received about three hundred pounds; Sir Francis Bur dett after that paid a subscription of five pounds; I fre quently after saw Byrne and Parkins together, in Jan. or February 1823. Byrne demanded the money from Per kins, who replied that he would dispose of it as he thought proper—he could obtain for him a Pimlico stage. Byrne said he wanted the money to establish a public-house. I never heard Parkins say that Byrne was indebted to him. Lemoine was clerk to Parkins in November, 1822 there were fifty or sixty British Traveller newspapers brought to the office, and sent to the country to Mr. Parkins's friends; they contained an account of the dinner given at the Horns Tavern, and a mark was made on each paper to direct the attention to it. I was at the dinner ; there were a great number of persons present. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. MATMTATT, and stated that an account was kept of the sub scriptions received, but he did not know that any was kept of the disbursements. Ile did not think Mr. Cobbett took any part in promoting the dinner. Mr. William Cobbett examined by Mr. Put LLIPS I know Mr. Parkins, and have had several conversations with him on the subject of a subscription for Byrne. I had one in Sept. 1822, before Byrne arrived in England. Parkins said be had written to Dublin. and proposed to send 1001. to some newspaper editors there for Byrne. I expressed my surprise he lia , l got so much ; he said he bad then about 1501. Earlyin the month of Nov. 1822, I saw Mr. Parkins. and inquired how Byrne maintained himself? and then told Parkins I had a friend in the country, where I could place Byrne, where his expences would be very lit tle, and I would pay it out of my pocket. Mr. Parkins ob jected, and said Byrne was living in a building of his, which would cost him nothing for rent ; he also objected to Byrne's going to the country, as be wanted him to go about with him to hold meetings to raise money. Cross-examined by Mr. MARRITATT: At the time of my first conversation with Parkins, I heard nothing about coach and horses; I never wrote to Byrne ; I had no con sultation with Parkins about bow he should dispose of the money ; my plan was to raise 3001. for Byrne, and to give it to biro at once to set up a public-house, or take stables. By Lid Pat What I gave I meant should go toßyrne. Catherine Byrne, examined by Mr. I3ATTIIRSBY.-1 am daughter of the plaintiff; I remember Mr. Parkins coming to my mother on the 20th of May last; he gave her a paper (paper produced). 1 lived with my father in the house; Mr. Parkins put him in; there was a bill on the place to let it. On her cross-examination, she said she did not know bee, father meant to keep a livery stable. He received hay and straw for Mr. Parkins. Letters produced are my father's writings. The paper produced by the witness, as given to her mother by Mr. Perkins, was then read; it contained • statement of English subseriptioos, amounting to 1211. fis. 011 Mr. Robert Bell, examined by Pi l is,ups.-1 k no w Mr. Parkins very well; I have had a great many eonversa- Mons with him on the subscription for Byrne; lie alivays declared to me that lie had received considerably more than he gave Byrne. The reason he gave fur not paying Byrne was, "Do you tbink I'd give the scoundrel the money, that was going to quit his wife and children and leave them chargeable on some parish ?" Mr. Parkins said, he had done better for Byrne than getting him • coach and horses; he bad employed him to take care of his stables, and he was then in his employment. Cross-examined by Mr. Slaaitearr.--Thinks it was in March last, Parkins said he had more money than he paid Byrne. The case for the plaintiff closed here. Mr. MARIITATT addressed the Jury for the defendant. It was evident, he said, the action was not brought to re cover money. The speech of the Learned Counsel was full of invective against the plaintiff. Mr. Parkins bad ren dered an account of every shilling received down to Slay last, and no human being was called to prove one shilling paid for which be had not accoisnted. There was also a subscription in Ireland and York, which might make Parkins say it was going on well-3001. subscribed; bat he had it not in band, and if there was any defalcation it would be easily made appear. Ike would discharge Par kins of the 1511.—he received a much larger sum. The collection ceased, as far as Parkins was concerned, in April 1823, and lie received none after. The Learned Geutleinan here read a letter from Byrne to Parkins, is which he said, " I cannot express my gratitude, and bag" you will continue to receive the subscription of which rout are the father." Different plans were in contemplation foe providing for Byrne; one was, keeping a livery-stable, where it was supposed Irish friends would keep horses; be did actually buy hay and straw for the purpose, and receive them is the premises he held from Parkins, and for which Parkins had 90gs. a year from the Royal Ex change Insurance Office before he let it to Byrne. He would not inquire whether Byrne was put into the pro mises as a tenant, but there certainly was a time when be was so considered, both by Parkins and himself, and there was but half a year's rent and taxes charged. Mr. Par kins calculated on receiving more than 3001. when be bad the conversation with Mr. Cobbett, but he was disage pointed, and be bad given Byrne, and paid for him, mows than be had received, and instead of pocketing any Wog, was considerably is dvance, as he would prove. Louis Lemoine examined by Mr. Aecimoi.o, stated' that he bad been employed by Mr. Parkins to make out Byrne's account; there was an account of the receipts and disbursements kept in one of the books in the defendant's office. Cater interim—Was the defendant following any bu siness at the time ?—We kept books for taking up the cause of injured individuals. (A great laugh.) There was a payment made for Newspapers to send to Ireland : and two pounds a week aas paid to Byrne for some time. Mr. PHILLIPS said he was perfectly willing to admit any payments made to Byrne. The witness proved several payments, one of which was nine pounds six shillings to himself for keeping Byrne's account. Byrne occupied Mr. Parkins's house and stables for some time after he came to England; for two or three months to witness's knowledge. Byrne asked witness if a knew what rent he was to pay? Witness replied he did not, and advised him to ask Mr. Parkins. He said he could not find an opportunity, hut let Mr. Perkins charge him what he would, he'd pay him. Byrne told witness he bad got an estimate of alterations to be made in part of the premises, to make a coal shed for his wife to keep. Cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS —1 was abort 8 or 9 weeks employed by Parkins on Mr. Byrne's business. Byrne complained to me that he could not get money from Par kins: he never said, that when he said to Parkins that if he gave him the money his prayers and his family's would go up to Heaven for him ; Perkins said, d— you and your prayers. Witness here admitted a letter, produced by Mr. Phillips, to be in his hand writinz, and then admitted Byrne had stated to him the answer from Mr. Parkins in the former question, and also told hint that be bad proposed to Parkins, if he would give him the balance he wuuld be done with 'him. Mr. Parkins had a great deal of general business, writing and answering letters to noblemen and gentlemen. Part of witness's business was going after the tin boxes where the subscriptions were received. Byrne 'bad neither coach nor horses at the stable. Did not see a till on the premises. Mr. Parkins made up the money wit ness received for doing Byrne's business, 101. or 111. ; he wrote for Mr. Parkins when he wanted him. The entry of 91. Ns. to witness, in the hook, is not in his hand-writing; he does not think it is Parkins's. Re-examined: Byrne never complained to witness that Parkins would not pay him, till after witness had left Parkins. Byrne said he was in expectation of horses. Henry Taylor, examined by Mr. KrrowLes.-1 was Mr. Parkins's clerk in January 1823, and frequently paid money to Byrne, of which 1 made entries in the general day book ; he also saw money paid by another clerk, ansountina in the whole to 21. a-week, for twenty weeks. Mr. PHILLIPS said he would admit payments to that amount. Witness : 1 heard Byrne say lie entered into Parkins's premises with the intention of keeping livery stables ; he requested Mr. Parkins to write letters to gentlemen to keep thiir horses with him ; witness wrote such letters after wards at Mr. Parkins's desire. Besides the two pounds a week to Byrne, Mr. Parkins paid several sums on his ac count for advertisements, postage, &c. Joseph Gill examined by Mr. MennvaTT.—Was clerk to Mr. Parkins; paid taxes on the premises held by Byrne. Cross-examined by Mr. PHlLLlP3.—Witness is a valet and brother-in-law to Mr. Parkins. Joseph Stephenson knows Mr. Parkins's premises, in Riding Hoosr-lane; they were let for 90 guineas a year, from 1820 to 1822, to the Royal Exchange Insurance Com pany ; Byrne occupied them about •ix months. Charles ' Swift, a clerk of Mr. Perkins, proved payments to Byrne, and on his account. A Clerk of a banking house proved that he received subscriptions for Byrne; the first was paid by Mr. Parkins; the whole amounts to 1141., which was still in their hands. Mr. Mayor, a surveyor, proved that he was sent by Parkins to value the premises in which Byrne lived; Parkins told him be had brought Byrne over from Ireland, and put him into that house to keep it for him. On his eross-examination, the witness was asked, did he not tell Parkins he was employed by Government to buy up the Princess of Cumberland's rapers, and bad offered her 25,0001. for them? He replied, Nonsense! Mr. Perkins knows more of the Princess of Cumberland than 1 do (a laugh). The defendant's case closed here. Mr. Plow's shortly addressed the Jury on the evi dence. Toe Curer Juana read over the evidence to the Jury, leaving it to them to decide whether the defendant had ac counted for all the money be had received for the plaintiff's use. The Jury retired, taking with them all the papers, and in about a quarter of an hour returned a verdict fur the plaintiff-194/. 48. 4d. LONDON SESSIONS.—MoNDAY. These Sessions commenced this morning before the usual Civic Officers, Mr. Common Sergeant DINMAN pre siding. ATTEMPTED RAPE. John Hughes, a man between sixty and seventy years of age, was indicted for assaulting and attempting to vio late the person of Eliza► Le Ileare, a little girl only six years of age. Tae evidence of the child fully satisfied the Court of the guilt of the accused. The details were too disgusting for publication. He enticed her into his hed• roam and put her into his bed, and the consequences of his outrage upon her persurawere fatal to her health.—The prisoner was found IJuilty, and after en address from the Learned Judge upon the enormity of his crime, be was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, and to be kept to hard labour. James Dean. a very dashing-looking young tailor, was indicted for assaulting a brother ninth-part, under the following circumstances : The defendant was indebted to the Complainant to the amount of one guinea, and finding . a difficulty in getting paid, he summoned him to appear to the Court of Consci ence, at which time the prisoner paid on account Ss. but failing to pay the balance, execution was taken out, and the Defendant was sent to the Compter. After lie had been there for some time he sent for Complainant to call upon him. Complainant went, and very soon afterwards, sans cereasonie, was very uncouthly placed under the pump in the prison yard, and pumped upon in a most dreadful -origin et'. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and lie was sentenc ed to be imprisoned for two months, and kept at hard labour. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Monday, Feb. 16. —- These sessions commenced to-day before Mr. CONIT, and a bench of Magistrates. • Thomas Clifton was indicted for an assault. with intent to commit a rape. upon Martha Mayhew. The prosecutrix. an artless young woman, 18 years of age, came from Ipswich to Landon, a few months ego, with a recommendation to Mr. Wiley, of Camden town, who took her into his service as nursery maid. On the day laid in the indictment, Mr. Wiley and his family went to spend the day with a Mr. Jones, in Finsbury-square. At 8 o'clock in the evening, there not being room enough in Mr. Wiley's vehicle. be sent the prosecutrix home by a Padding ton stage, on which the defendant sat as cad, or assistant to the coachman. The prosecutrix desired that she should be. put down at Totten:ana court-road ; instead of which she, not knowing the different parts of the town, was ta ken on to Paddington. Upon boding herself there, sbe remonstrated with the defendant. who told her that he bad brought her on. because he wished her to ride with him, hat that be would return immediately, and set her down at the place she had mentioned. Instead of which, however, before she knew where she was, she found herself at the back of the Sank. Here again she remonstrated, and received a similar answer, with another assurance, that she should be set d.wn st Tottenham-..ourt road on their return. This assurance was also disre garded, and the prosecutrix once more found herself in the coach-yard at Paddington. The defendant again excused himself, and said he was turning to the Bank. and would positively set her down then. He told her, however, that be was about changing bores, and bidding her get into the coach, be set about taking the horses from it. She at first declined getting inside, but it being then eleven o'clock, and be repre seating to her that she would take cold, she went in. As soon as the defendant put up the horses, he got into the I coach. and proceeded to accomplish his brutal purpose I She struggled for some time until she fainted, and upon recovering she was alone in the coach. The defendant came to the coach-door and let her out, and ['nein ac companied her one hundred yards, she got into a hack ney-coach ; and as soon as she reached home she informed her mistress of all that had happened to her. The defendant was found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. Ateo•reen ASSAULT —Richard Lilley was indicted for assaulting Elizabeth Stertford, with intent to commit a similar offence to that imputed to the last defendant. Mr. CURWOOD conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ax- DRIMS the defence. The prosecutrix, who is a widow, stated, that on the 29th of Dec. last, the prisoner went to her lodgi'igs, i n Windmill-street, Spitalfields, and, after fruitless solicit - tions, endeavoured to effect his object against her will. She resisted him successfully, and he went away, declaring that she had not the nature or the feelings of a woman about her. She told her brother what had occurred the next day, and the defendant was taken up. • Two witnesses were called for the defence, who &sea ' rd the conduct of the prosecutrix as having been indecently r familiar with the defendant before the alleged assault, and in consequence, the Jury pronounced a verdict of Nut Guilty. POLICE. BOW-STRIZT.-lestenlay Michael Keeley, a sun-burnt weather-beaten Irishman, was brought from Coven , . Garden watch-house, charged with robbing:Mary Pugin ger, a poor laundress, of Its. S.I. The prosecutrix went on Saturday night to take home some linen to a tradesman in St. Martin's-lane, fur which she received the sum mentioned, and on her way holm! through Long Acre, she was accosted by the prisoner, ith " My good oald lady. can you direct me to my native country ?" " ►there is that i" answered the pt.,. secutrix. " St. Giles's, to be sure," rejoined the prisoner ; and was imme&ately desired by Mrs. Puttinger to go on until he came to Drury Lane, and then turn to the left. Instead, however, of pursuing the path directed he kept close alongside Mrs. Pottinger until they came to the corner of Long-alley, when he "clipped" her round the waist, and, thrusting his hand into her pocket, took out what money s'm had there, together with a pawn broker's duplicate. He ran off, but was pursued by the pro secutrix, who called "Stop thief 1" and he was stopped by a man at the bottom of Leg alley. The duplicate and money corresponding with that lost by the prosecutrix were found upon him. Michael denied the charge, and declared that he had borne a good charakter all his life-time.—He was committed fur trial. LONDON MARKETS. CORN &NUANCE. MAIL LANE.
