MALICIOUS FiIOSECUTION. • BLVERIDGE V. COLLIN% PVGHSI.EIf. and °THEM schnumr, in • staling this case, observed, that it was one of very great importance. It was au action brought by the Plaintiff, a very respect able surgeon in Newgnte.vtrret, against Mr. Col. lins. an attorney. Charles Poglisley, Thos. Pugh"- ley, and a person named Hardy, to recover them a compensation in dainage4 for r malicious linwecntion, instituted against lain by their con tri vane*, fu'r the crime of perjury. In the year 1815. C. PUghsley had entered into pertriership with a person named Weever, a fluor-cloth manufacturer, to whom Mr. Beveridge bad advanced considerable sums of moody. Previous to C. Pughsley's entering into the concern, 'Weaver had been in partnership with i Mr. Loniar.-.and, to induce Loaner to give up his claim on the concern, Beveridge, the present :Plaintiff, became guarantee for him against any de mand which might afterwards be made on loinar— and, in order to satisfy Beveridge to give this gua rantee, Weaver handed over to him the acceptance of si person amused Cheesney, fur .100/. In 1)r -camber, 1815, Weaver became bankrupt, and air. Beveridge appeared ut Guildhall and proved las debt under the commission. Before lie intended the meeting, his depositions were prepared by his solicitor, Mr. Coate—and, under Coote's advice, lie arranged his eecarities, and laid them before the Cornmilsioneis. in doing so, he did not include .the bill on Cheesney, which he considered as given (Or a specific .and separate object. C. Puglisley in the mean time continued to carry on the floor. cloth business, and Mr. Beveridge still supplied hint with money, until the debt amounted to 6,0001. At length Beveridge found it necessary to arrest him, and then Pughsley ass afterwards a bankrupt. The Melina attended to prove his debt under this cominissiiiii, hut lie was opposed by Mr; Colhns, and ultimately in the appointment of assignees. Tire parties then offered the Plaintiff 2,0001. for his demand against Puglisley, if lie would not attempt to prove under the commission—but Mr. Beveridge indignantly rejected the proposition. In consequence, the De fendants instituted a prosecution fur perjticy egisinst him, nu the ground that lie had, 12 months before, at the time of proving his debt under Weaver's commission, forsworn himself, because lie had not, amongst his other claims, put in the accept ance for gOOl. which lie had recrivert from Wea ver. After the indictment was instituted, and before the bill was found, repeated applications were made to Mr. Beveridge to compromise 114 e matter, and to give up his &tumid, on the pay ment of a certain sum of V. he always refused. Another attempt was made to in timithite him, by causing an anonymous tette' to he writteu to his wife, whicl► it was supposed would induce her to work on the feelings of her husband. When the trial took place, Mr. Be. veridge was imu►ediutely acquitted—and he brought the present action to rescue his character from the imputation which the Defend:lots were the me+ u ►s of cu•Uog on it. _ . - .
