CONANT ) ESQ. • Mr. PARSE stated this to be an action for false itaPrisuument against Nathaniel Conant, Esq. and it would not be supposed by any 'body, that be had an intention of stating any thing against this gentleman's general character; he believed him to be as respectable a Magistrate as any in this metropolis; he had the honour of being ac quainted with Mr. Conant, and he knew him to be a perfectly respectable individual, as well as an upright Magistrate in his general cOnduct, and there was nothing in this action to affect his rha racter—morally speaking ; but he was civilly re sponsible for the act which he had dune, and for w hie) he was called upon to answer on the present occasion. The charge .against Mr. Conant was, that he had intprisotted the Plaintiff, that was, without issuing a warrant to apprehend him, or take the information of the witnesses in his presence, and compelled hint to give him hail;which practice was ag&iist law. Mr. Cockayne (Mr. Neale's attorney) proved the service of a notice on Mr. Conant, such as the Act of Parliament of -the 21th of Gee. H. re quires to be given to Magistrates before actions shall be brought against them for any thing they do in virtue of their uniceas Magistrates. Samuel Adam Crisp gave au account of the off: ccrs of Mariburough.street coining to the house of Mr. Neale, at Knightsbridge, on the Gth of Oc. tuber, 1806, saying they had instructions (ruin Mr. Conant, that there had been a great disturb ance in the house in which Min Danis then was, belonging to Mr. Neale; in Lower John.street, Golden-square, and insisted that he must gu with them. Fast, they desired him to go with them to Marlborough-street. Ile did not go at first ; bet afteiwaoho tr) people came, and is mob .c.ullected about the street, and a constable of the name of Petheril insisted on taking Mr. Neale before the Magistrate, _saying, that he had ill-used Miss Da. tic Mr. Neale ~aid he bad no restraint on Miss Davis. What did they want with hint ? They said they had come from Mr. Conant, and Mr. Neale mast come along with thorn. He said, " What should I go along with you for—have you any thing against ine ? I have done nothing : if Miss Davis has dune any thing that is indecent, she must auswer fur it. I have done nothing. %What have you against me—have you a warrant ?" They said, " No, we have nu *arrant. Mr. Conant desires that you will go to Marlborough:street." Mr. Neale said, " Have you a warrant against me?" They said, 46 No, we have Mr. Conant's orders, and you shall go." Mr. Neale then said, " Show me your warrant. if I must go ; I d,, not know what I have done; if I must go, be kind enough to let this gentleman (meaning witness) call a coach."—No, they said, he slautthl not hue a coach ; and they dragged him to the Poiiee.or nee, whither a mob followed them. This hap. pearl abort twelve o'clock on the Gth of Or. tuber. Ile underwent a long and sharp cross-examine. lion by Mr. Garrow, when he said that he wrs an assistant, succeeding the servant of Mr. Neale a , the Annuity Bank at Knightsbridge; had been a tradesman 16 years in Russel-street, Covent-gar. den ; Miss Davis he newer saw at Knightsbridge but once; be should take her to be about four or five.and.twenty. He could not say as to her beauty ; but she seemed to bet delicate worms. Mr. Neale constantly lived with Mrs. Neale at his house at Knightsbridge; he dill mot know any thing of Miss Davis having kept Ituswarriagt, nor of her being ill-used by Mr. Ngllll.. litMtd her ravings frequently—it was usual. He .did nut know that she was.. kept in.apartments that were unlit for her.; never went up to them. Mt. Neale desired him once 'or twice to called on a medical man to come to Miss Davis, to give things' to re lieve her. lie did not know that,slie'wes locked np without any person in the • house with her. He did Hot hear Mr. Neale say to the Police Officers, That hi would nut go for any damned Justice . of the . Peace. lie knew Miss Davis fur two or three week!, , but did nut know how M r. Neile beeanie acquainted with her, 'nor did he ever hear of any complaint made by her against Mr. Neste. Me always understood "that her rooms were well furnished ; nor did he ever hear there was ally improper intimacy be- tween Miss bevis and Mr. Neale. He under. stood that sbe - was embarrassed fur debts, be had seen servants apply to her fur wage* ; but knew nothing of her carriage or servants in livery. She did not dine with Mr. Neale; but her din. aer was cut for her, and she had plenty of victuals, as she had never complained for want of any thing that tie knew of. Ann Osbura bad been some time servant to Neale, at his house in Lower Joit-street, Golden-square, where Mr. Neale sometimes slept ; but his family lived it Knightsbridge. The witness lived with him before Miss Davis CAM there, which she supposed to be about eight or nine months before this business at Marlborough -street. She gave a long account of the conduct of Miss Davis. She said Miss Davis was much addicted to drinking; that she streak spirits very much ; would alitiqs rase Mgr . • .. . . .. dhe beadle fistoticated, although quiet . wlocl! , sober. licit so much was sfiti given to spirlb that she would send the witness with hei clothes to pawn• the% for niotiry: to • buy liquor, and 1 which the witness' was always obliged to comply , with ; for she threatened t& knock her on the head when she refused. Mr: Neale always told her not to let Miss bans drink spirill; but that ins of no avail, she would have tiisai, for she was much snare powerful than the witness. Miss ' Davis was under no restraint whatever . ; but might go out when she pleased, only she sal ' does did so ; sometimes she would go out to buy a bonnet of a pair of aloes, or something of that sort. She then gave an account of the manner in which Mr. Neale was treated before the Ma gistrate, she being there, but not examined upon oath. " The Magistrate," said she, 66 asked Miss Davis if she had any thing to say against Mr. Neale, fur. his misconduct, or any thing that she had suffere d ?" And Miss Davis said, " No, she had not." Then the Magistrate asked me, if .1 had any thing to alledge against him for his conduct . to Miss Davis durinz the 1 time 1 was in the house-? I said, N0...-No ! other person was asked a question.—Mr. Mont, ' the opposite neighbour, was there; but he was nut asked &question, to my recollection." The witness then said that she was asked this question about the conduct of Mr. Neale in his presence, and the Magistrate then said to Mi. \eale some : . thing which she did nut hear ; but he then cam. milted Mr. Neale ; and. Mr. Neale said, " What do yea commit me for ?. What is the reason for it? You have nut take:rine up by a warrant ; you commit me for no fault." Thu Mag istrate' said, " Cumthit him directly." • This he said. to the constable, to take ,sir, Neale into custody, where he staid until he could Iliad bail.. „lle was not taken out of the house, "but he was kept there 1 some time.—Lit turned out to be about three. quarters of au hour.j—his then gave a tong ac. count of herself, and the family tif Mr. Neale, whom she hail been servant to, and had left more 1 ! than once or twice; had been lod4ed iii the watch. _house by Mr. Neale two or three times; and would not stay any longer, because she and Miss Davis were locked in by Mr. Neale in the night, and had no means of getting nut until he calm back in the morning, and he sat up until ten, , eleven, twelve, one, or two, in sometimes writing,', at his office. Saw him take Miss Davis once ur 1 twice to Vauxhall. The withess came back to the I service of Mr. Neale at Lie request . of Mrs. Neale, 1 fur the purpose of taking care of Miss pavis. Mr. John Hunt was then examined.—lie said 1 that he lived opposite to the house of Mr. Neale, ' I in LowcrJuhu-street, Gulden-square, but had in) intimacy whatever with him. In October, IStni, I' he recollected, on the night between the 4th anti j Ai, • or rather about two iii the morning, he heard the', Most dreadful noise and a cry of merinos Au thil his faintly could nut nit; wentto the wiodoa and saw the young Lady opposite to him, in the house of Mr. Neale, in a state of tiaturr, qeite naked ; she was tailing bitterly against the cue.' duct of Mr. Neale, saying, "-The • villain will ienrder nie,"-1 asked her )• ." is Mr. Neale in the house?" " Yes," said she, ".and the villain is, behind, and lie is going to murder Inc." The !ali nes' then told the watchmen to open the dour ;Itt which lime Gregory, one of Police-officers . ot Marlborough-street, came up. They (hived ttpc'ii , the kitchen window, and entered the:house, and the screaming ceased. • This gentleman went after wards to the Pirliceodhce, where lie taw Mr. Neale 'and Miss Davis. Mr. Neale put •1„lie s ituation to her before the Magistrate, whether Ise bad used her ill ? dud she said " No." he Magistrate, Mr. Conant, asked Mr. uieale how tie came to use the ladj so; and he made the best story he could, but appeared rather angry ; and ! ,,iIJ, is that all, or what nest, or something yt that sort. Cross.exxnabied uy bir.Gattitow. lrhisGen tleman said that thu noise from the shrieks of this unfortuuately was extremely inconvenient to the neighbOurnuotl, and had been often repeated fur a tortmght-before the parties went to Marl borough-street. Sorry he was to say, that the . noise and screaming were like that of a woman in the pains of labour, as—Gool God deliver wts !—Jesus Christ deliver me !—and even these ejaculations • titre interrupted by shrieks still more violent.

But it the Magistrate had so dune, tire act could nut be defended in point of law. Mr. GARILOW said be had a oompicte justifies.
