The Plaintiff had hooked with the Defendants, and in the year 1815 he had overdrawn his account, and he browse their debtor to the 'monist of about 6 or 7001., and they were desirous arouse security for their debt. The Defeuthoot• well knew the circuinstences of the times ; they knew i the depreciation of agricultural pro,:erty, and they% kiwi's. that at that time it was impossible for it man, however eolverit Ise might be in his circum stance., to make his property avoidable to *shay present demands. • The Plaintiff sat that time had considerable' property ; he carried on a very extensive business as a farmer and maltster, and he had landed estates, union 'wb'cli there was then small mortgage of 3001. lo'colisequeticeof an ap plication mode by the Defemelsents to the Plaintiff, he signed an agreement, whereby he undertook to give them a bond and mortgage, to secure their debt, upon his landed and other property, To carry this agreement into effect, some time would necessarily be occupied. It was, therefore, agreed, that in the inte he Plaintiff should give a pro missory time for the debt, payable oil demand. Accordingly, on the 16th of March, 1815, the pro missory note was signed. The agreement, it should be secollected, was for a hood mud mortgage, and no more. After the execution of tier agreement. tier Plaintiff's attorney prepared an abstract sat the title to the real propert, which was sea to the Defetident's attorney, to enable him to ruin. plete the- bond and mortgage. Li this state matters remained until the 6th of August fol lowing, when. the securities being ;emptied, the panties and their imprints met together fur the pur pose of having them executed. Mr. Nlortlock did not himself attend, hut lie appeared ley his attorney. On that occosi 4444 the latter produced a warrant of attorney, which the Planet& was called reptilian execute as a furilier security for the debt, although that hail not beets stipulatryl for its, the agreenirest entered into , in March. However, the Militia' did not hesitate to execute all the three securities, namely, the bond, mortgage, and warrant of at torney. These imitrumeiits laiviog beets thus ear, cuird, the PI *lf very naturally demanded his promissory note back -Kano. It was ocet, hoverer', then forthcoming, hut it wise preemie-el to be deli vered up by Mr. Mortlock's agent, Mr. Howard, in eight or ten days, but it never was in fact eiveii up. In the month of March, 1817, the Plaittlifl . was busily occupied in preparing Isis farm fur steeling confident that lie was perfectly secure fruits any pe eumury entharrossmetst in consequence of the treble securities he had give'', none of which could be put iii force before a certain time, whet, lie would be its a condition to pay off the mortgage. and get riff of his liability to the Defesidasits. But, whilst lie was thus reposing in security, an officer cause down of • sudden from Lood 0000 0 with an extent from the Crown, at the suit of Mess's. Mart lock, funneled upon the very promissory note which they had positively promised to deliver up, but which they dishonourably withheld for the base purpose be which it was applied. Nothing could exceed Mr. P.'s astonishment at this proceeding but his distress. It came upon him like • thunder bolt from Heaven. Ass extent its aid was cer tain ruin to the unhappy victim of its visitation ; it polluted all Isis property; no 111411 could help him or attempt to afford hiss, relief ; uo man could purchase his property, for the Crown must he satis fied, but an extent laid its flings alarm it, and held it with such a rasp, that no relief could be afford ed. Had the affidavit upon which this extent was founded contained the whole :netts, asid nothing but the truth, lie (Mr. Gurney) was quite persisaded that the Learned Baron before whom it was made, never would have granted his fiat. mild the ruin of this unhappy Plenstiff never would have been accom plished. He had wholly suppressed the fact of their having obtai ed the other securities, mid they positively ewree that they would be the less able to pay the Crown debt unless the extent war issued. There never was a moue infamous trans- Plaintiff's case—this his hossest opPent to the justice of twelve respectable men.' is. whose hands be con fidently rested his case, knowing that men of their raiik atid,charactvr would feel hke mess,- and entes tdin a proper sense of the grievoiss injuries he 11:14 sustained. 'they would consider the rims esot,tis pettier to which he had been pat by throw proceed ings—his loss oferedit —the injury he had sustait.eti by tlw uecessary neglec► of his farm—the asixoety of his mind, and the affliction brought upon oho.. self and his unhappy faintly. Their .verdict, what ever it might he, could never be a complete repar):- lion of the Plaintiff's wrongs; they were too great for money to compeitsate ; but they would, in all events, teach these !rune-proud opplessitrs, that an honest and injured man could soot optical in vain to the jostler of a British Jury, Mr. Gatty, clerk in the Court of Exchequer, produced the extent, curl the proceedings tinder it.

It appear:A upon cross-es-animation or book- of the shove witnesses, that the Plaiiititl; at the tonne the extent was issued, had taken a public-11mo*, and was goisig to carry on the business of a publican with that of a niattster. Mr. Serjeant BEST then addressed the Jury on behalf of the Defeutliniti, conteittling that the stogie question for their coneideration .was, whether the Defendants had issued the extent in gilt $lll4lll 11111117 ciously and without any rearinials'.e Or probable cause. Whether it was issued malwinsisty Was a matter for their determination ; but .•s to the retes mutable and probable cause, they must tie:rive the direction of the Learned Judge on trot point. If the Defendants had reasonable grounds lin tw.wtiog that the was not iii eultent ciretealsnineeS at the issue the extent was issued, they wcidd be peefectly justified in their condect. Their mere opinion upon this subject would he bit ffiCirilt t o warrant the procreator. '1 br deteintination of this point must depend upon all tXUt11111.1V(1111 of the Plaintiff's 'Mire at the time.

The Plain titt, with that spirit which brcionne an honest man, deter 11l i o red not to be crushed so easily, and there fore resisted the extent in the Court of Exchequer, and, in the result. the Jury found a verdict against them, thereby negativing the existence of tiny debt On which it could be founded ; and on that occa sion the Lord Chief 13aruu said, " This is another instance to bring extents in aid into disgrace." But it waisted no observation floor so high un authority to 'thew the infamy of thisi transaction.

On that occasion Mr. Serjearit Onslow. with whom was Mr. Marryint and Mr. Baniewell. meted the Defendant's case. In Easier Tenn the Defeat- Jane moved for • new trial, on tlw ground of an alleged misdirection of the Learned Judge in point of law, and last Term the rule was made *hau teur. The case was now brought down for a second trial, the Defendant having enlisted in aid of hie legal forces the talents of Mr. Serjeant Best, who was brought down by • special retainer of 900 guineas. The declaration stated, that the Defendant, Fre derick Cheethant &forelock, had maliciously, and without any reasonable or probable cause, made an affidavit before Sir George Wood, one of the Barons of the Exchequer, that he and his partners were debtors to the King, and that the.

He had formerly been in very respectable circumstance., and maintained his family with credit and comfort ; but in conse quence of the conduct of the Defendants, instead of being what he had been, he was now a ruined MID, and all his prospects in life were blighted, his • bushiest destroyed, and himself and his family turned out of house and home ; and fur the last two years and upwards had been unable to do any thing for the mainterisrice of those dear pledges for whose rake alone life was valuable. The Defendants, Messrs. !Murdock, caned riot be unknown to the Jury ; they were persons of great wealth and in fluence; they were bankers at Ginthridge and at Bishop'a-Stortford, awl to their character as bankers they united that of Receisers-General of his Ma. kitty's taxes in the costaiy of einthridge, for the due discharge of which office they gave security to the Crown to the sellout sof 90,000/.
