SLISSEX ASSIZES. ; . LEWES, MONDAY, AUG. 3. elm sun.--Before Sir I. MANsr!ELDr SPILSTIURX MICIILEWAITE., This was an a6tion• of a , ,sault and false imprison ment, 'brought by the ' . Plaintitr, a shopkeeper, of tewes,_ against the present High Sheriff of the , County.. • Mr. LMVES stated the 'pleadings, by which the 'Defendant justified the imprisonment; averriit, tha't he, ag' High Sheriff or the County, presided at the Contity Court:, lield for the Election of Members to 'Serve in Parliatnent for this County; and that the' Yttintiff - assaulted and obstru6ted'him in the' execu thin of his duty, for which lie caused him to be app prehnded,. , with intent to carry` him before a Ma gistrate: • 7 Mr. Serjeant 13tsr, for the Plaintiff, represented this as a case or thegreatest iinportance, inasmuch 03 it involved the•rights of every Freeholder in the exercise of his constitutional prerogative of choosing Ms rtliim Representative in the great Senate of the nation. Defendant, as holding the very emi nent station of High Sheriff of the' County, was, frotn situation, more bound to reverence the laws than a man in an ordinary station of life,' and not to be himself the breaker of them, particularly in a hlace where he was by every principle ofjestice and onour bound to preserve the strictest impartiality. ,The Plaintiff, he said, was a respectable inhabitant of the Borough of Lewei, and a Freeholder of the County of .Sussex, At the last Eledion he did that 'lnch* every Freeholder had a right to do; which was not only to vote for whom he thouebt fit, but to espouse the cause of his favourite Candidate with all the' . warmth which usually interested men on those oceasions. It .happeued that the politics of a j)articular voter was nestakenby sot'UC persons at the last election; he was brought up by the friends of one party to vote on the last day of the eleEtion, but ;when he gut on the hustings, wishing to vote the other way, his vote was objected to by the persona who concluded him to the tinstings in the expeda tion*ofbis voting in their favour. It might, indeed; Ea.esuspeeted that this was done with a view to de fearthe vote, for. 'after 'discussing the point befbre the assessor, when the voter retailed; it was said ,ie4as too late to be, received. This prednetd a gear sensation among the crowd, and many persons cried out that the Sheriff was acting prtially. He believed his Client, that Plaintiff, might do so, and this was " the head and front of his offending: l -- 1 1 0 r this . offence the Sheriff ordered him to be taken ihto immediate custody, in•wlitch h was detained f or t h e apace of an hour, but instead of attempting to prove any sueb.charge. as he hitd now put upon the record, namely;' that the Plaintiff-thud assaulted bill] iu the execution of his duty, he was content to let him..go without any attempt to take him before any. Justice of the Peace. 'The Learned Serjeant contended, that this conduct in the High Sheriff was so extremely reprehensible, that be was sure the Jury would mark their ssenst.of . it by most exert . ), platy damagec, • . • • Mr. Miles; the head-borough of Lewes, proved, that the Plaintiff was at Theinistingi on the last day of the election. There was a great deal of noise and confusion. Lie remembered that seine vote was ten dered aild refused.. There was 4;great tty,o( partiality," and he belived . the Plaintiff might,j.eirt it? it: ; After. sonic whispering. between the Sheriff and another Gentleman,' the:Sheriff ordered the Witness to take the Phrintiff'into custody. He did . so, end teolchini to' the' Court-house,' where Mr. Partingtoit was sitti►►g as assessor to the Sheriff. Ile continued hi.citsiody•dbmt '4O minutes, and was then dismiss.., :ed. This witness said 'he did not:hear him threaten the' Sheriff, nor shake .his luirsewlfip at him. After itt custody the Plaintiff did bind his own hand and leg With a silk hanclkerchief; Nit did not hear to the mob, See, here is a freeholder bound in fetter:ill your Sheriff." • Several, other witnesses proved his 'having 'been taken into ; custody,' and detained for near nit hour.. .Ivir. Serjeapt Safi ARP, for the Defendant, ,made a mist eloq:nent speech. ,He reprobated the aC:tion as one. of the most,unTotinded that cVer was, brought intoa Court of Justice. • He. said he would - most willingly look with ,the utmost indulgence:on:all the unusual vehemence with which men condu6ted themselves at a General Ele6tion. It arose, lie would admit, from the spiritiof English' freedom - ; but the conduct 'of the Plaintiff, he must.say i had been Most wicked ;, he had done all in his power to create the most serious commotion ; and - if the limy of the mob bad been roused by his falsiinsintiations, theylnight have gone to excesses which probably might have ended in most serious and fatal calamity. "He asked for what, purpose did the - Plaintiff:fetter his own limbs; but to excite the indignation of the by;standers, and to have it supposed that the High. Sheriff had viqn tonlY. And arbitrarily treated in that manner a free holder of the county ? - It- was to insinuate a false hood, though not to'say it in words ; and hia motive was to excite the indignation of the speClatorii against the Sheriff. He. contended, that to accusetbe Re , turning Officer of partiality was to ObstraCi hini iri the execution of his duty, and that'the Sheriff was warranted. in taking. the Plaintiff into cuStoslY.: Several, witnesses were then Called, whp proved that. the Plaintiff had -been very violent in his con thiC.t that day, and he had shaken hi whip at the. She.riff, and threatened to trounce him, before the Sheriff' ordered hiM to be takeninto custody,. • The Learned Judge reprobated thy. action, and thought the Jury, would do : well to treat it with contempt. Verdict for the Plaintiff—datuagi:s is. • TuESDAY, AUGUST 4i CROWN, SI I) 0. --ticfore r ju4tice 4 Tn.

He replied, No; you received but •one. While they 'were talking, Mr. Bliss saw a small writing desk in the room, „piton which was lying a small bit of silver paper, just half thesiiesof a bank note, he took it up, and saw the faint impression of the word, " seriE," such as is on the, top of the one ' pound bank notes, and on it was Written the words, "G. Bacchus; Esq." This much astonished him, and .heasked the Prisoner if.it was his hand writing, who said it was. (It after - Wards appeared that eno- 7 ther forged: .note for 101. had come into the Bank, witlt"the words G. BaCchus • on it in the same hind writing.)

On -Sunday theith.of June they agreed to spend:the day at East Beurne; they.went in a gig, and it was agreed the Prisoner should pay the day's expences, and they were to adjust the account when they came home at night. After dinner the bill was brought to him, as be sat nearest the door: The Prisoner gaVC a 51. note to him, with which he paid the bill. Mary Chapman, the servant, proved that she handed the . note to her master; and Reed, the rues ter, said lie gave the note' the same eietting to his daughter-in-law, who was Ong to London. RebecCa Moggridge, the datrAhter-inAaw, proved that she paid it to Mr. John Fenwick, a linen-draper, in Oxford -street, by whom it Was paid to thelank, when it was discovered to lltt a forgery. - • Glutei Terry; the Engraver to the Bank, proved that the note' was a forgery, that it was not—en-. graved, but that the whole was written and drawn by the pen or camel-hair pencil, - He 'also stated that the water-mark 'might be made 'with other Ma- i terials'fbUnd at the Prisoner's lodgings, and produced a . cernplete fire simii of the water-marks, of a bank.; note Made ly himself from. the paper and liquid which Mr. Blis had found at'the Prisoner's apart ments. • • • Eviderite'wnthen given. of two other notes ut tered by the Prisatier; one on the 2Otii of March before; and•whleh . were proved hy Mr. Terry to-be forged ones. . .
