The first was, “. that a Policy of Insur ance was net, available, unless it was ender the Cotn. mon:Seal of the Company : now, thoujh the origi nal Policy, in the present instance, had that Com mon peal affixed to it, yet the Indorsement, which was t 1 fresh Policy, had, not, and consequently, "it Was not available in itself, and bad in law.' e-Second ly, There was no Stamp to the Pblicy, afire eebly to -!' the - loth of, ANNE, ch. 19, and ..coniL-,qnently could not be received in evidence."—The last r+- ieelion, however, he meant .principally to rely upon, and contended, generally; that as . by the 44th of GEORGE no instrument, not beipg duly stainpe ed, conid be made available for civil purposes, so, ne instrument, not being dilly stamped, eould• be received ,in evidence upon the Irial'a an lne dividual ior his Jite . or death. There was no doubt, he said, but the Policy in question was void in law ; and had the fire happened by accident, and the Fire Office thought proper silt the payment of it, the party insured feel nolie tnedy by a suit at law. Thetwbewould ask, would • it not be an anomaly in the justice of the country to say, that such an instrument could be made able for the purpose of proving a crime.?—Mr, •KNAPP cited many cases :to , prove his:position, anti concluded by insisting that the Policy could not be legally received' in evidence, 'add in rte absence the 'Defeedatit Mest have been acquitted. • •Mr.• PoOLEY argued the case for the Crown, and contended • thet in the way the Policy was offered it • %/4s evideece.....)••,The legal operation, he : said, of th e instrument was immaterial, the queB 4 tionwas, Whether, in - the•vontemplation of the De. fendant, he did not imagine he should.. be' able to cosunt.a. frautimpon'the Fire Otliee, by tieing :poi sesreNl of sneli it'Policye• The law had siid, tear • no lestrurnent, net duly stamped, should avaithle .44 the purposes the, instrument, eant to ciiteß, but it had tret said, that it should not •be available for Collateral purPoses. The Corpus. „delicti iii .the present indiarnent .Was the fraudulent intent, and the- Policy' was teiven'in evidence (l Ideate to siie ien animo IN. ha of the Party. The Learned ,Counsel then cited many cases, and amongst.others that of the , king v. Colin Recuhis,' where" a similar objection was tak , n to an instrument not dilly - stamped. The case, was roterrocl to the Judges, who overTruledtbe objedinn, observing, that though the instrument by the Revenue LaV;'s required a stamp, and ren dered. it of no etre& as the instrument it purportdd to 'he, yet it was such an instrument as might begi ven ut 'eviderive to prove tt - crime, if it went- to 'iffeiti the intent of the party. In cases of forgery, t h e Jost:Uintlt was always given in evidence, and the policy was evident, as no man could await , hiMaelf of his. own fiend.. In short, he should re peat, that the indiament charged the Defendant with an intent to defraud the Fire °dice, apd the POliey, valid or nor valid, was of as evidenco of that intent. The Jury found the Defendant The d ec i s i on ' o f the Judges will be made .known at the Old Bailey Sessions.
