Coc spelled the pleadings on the part of the r, and stated that this was an action which bad been ated by Its client s Mr. Gibson, to recover compose ! •• far es it could be (»needed by the verdict of • Jury, defamatory attacks en his character. These tome is the late Benton newspaper, of which there was a dialect admission that the Defender was the printer .04 mairlisher. They had heard the word, of the image, but it was impossible far them Ito weillseedwed the fall merles of this cause without some rspliaatury information room him. It was stated le the libel that Mr. Gibson, while acting as agent is a cause in which the Beak of Fag lead was Prosecutor, aid use Frances Mackay Defender, I induced the Prisoner, by a promise of admitting her as I a winless against others, to make • declaration of her guilt, and then did basely violate that promise by brioche( her to trial ; in consequence of which, it was alleged, the Lord Advocate, as soon as he was informed of the circumstance, immediately procured a free pardon for the Prisoner. Now Mr. Gibson was at this time, and had for many year% been the law agent is Scotland for the Bank of England. la this lineation it always had been his practice to lake some part in the prosecution of offenders against the Bank ; in the performance of which duly be bad always hitherto given perfect satisfaction to his employers. It formed, however, another charge against the Pursuer, that he had, from too keen an attention to his owe interest, in. volved the Bank in unnecessary expenses. Ita reply to this aspersion, he should prove is evidence, that the Pursue:ea account:a were g Ily more otederately charged then these of other professional agents ; wed what was still a stronger proof that his conduct was approved, he should Phew that the Pursuer still continued to be employed as the profes siunal agent of the Bank of England. He should al.o prove that the persons appreheesled at the instance of the Bank of England, bed been invariably proceeded with by the Parses r in due course of law ; and before be advanced further is his statement, it would be as well to explain the course usually adopted against • criminal of this description. tin the missies of his declaration before the Magistrate, it was the duly of the Sheriff to expleia to him the situation In which he stood, whether, as a party aceased, or whether un higher and securer grounds. If he is to be proceeded ;tritest as an accused perms, be is wanted of the danger in which he stands, lied be is left at liberty to answer such questions as la chooses, or not to answer use, if be does not think proper to do so. It was the duty of the Sheriff to pro tect the accused, and no declaration was legal valets taken in the presence of a Magistrate, asd unless the Prisoner be cautioned as to the purpose for which it Is emitted. The object of ibis statement would presently be seen. Cer tele declarations had belle taken from the woman, Frames Mackay. The Sheriff was present, and warned the accused of the situation in which she stood before any'dieposition wee taken. Mr. Gnome was present, tie was his deity; Wet he could say. without any mental enervation, that neither on glint occasion, nor previously, had oe (the Potwar) any con versation with the Praeger. On the temstrary, he see silent all the time the declatatious were being taken, and handed to the Sheriff such quewioas es he wished to propose. There fare, the Pursuer had no new peel in the woman's declara tions, than he (the Learned Coeseed. The Defendant did not mean to plead in hie defence the existence of a direct promise; but, if there was no direct promise, there wss, he auw assumes, a promise implied. There were several, be believed live or six declarations; mad it was as argument of the Defender, that there was ea implied promise of not brining the Pam, to trial, in the very feet of there being so many declinations. But where, be would ask, did the idea of this implied promise exist! I. the Mad of Frances Mackay? She would deny it. Is the waited of Mr. Gibson? If to, it was foe the Defendant to prove lbw, fur they (the Counsel for the Pursuer) 'mold he nederstoomi to deny it in the most uequalitied m . Did it exist in every ether person engaged in the trial ? Hew the belief uu this matter stood in the mind of the late Sheriff or of the late Lord Ad. waste, he did not know, nor did he thick it of meek eons*. quince. The eireemstances occurred at some distance of time, and men were apt to confuse their meant impressiotis with what were their impressions lung ago. lia answer to whatever might be alleged on the other aide, he would beg Lim Jury to attend to the fewfollowsag facts: The number of the declarations, it was urged, implied a promise that the Prisoner was not to he tried ; but did the Sheriff ever say, " Now you hare taken so many declamations, you cannot try this woman ?" Never soy such a doubt as to the legality of the prosecution ever proceeded from his bpi; owl it was his duty to leave stated it it Ise bail entertained say. There was 11111..111Cf Learned Gentleman employed by the Bank as Counsel along with the Lard Advocate. The objection never occurred to either of them, 31r.

That gfllll,l/00111 was the late lord Advocate himself, now lord Meedowheak. The derleratioss of Pran ces Mickey were Pent to the Lied Advocate, and es theme papers his Lordship fon oiled Me opinion as to who 'Weld be tried. Did he say that Mackay could not be tried, bromar sense, densest ions had bre. taken from her? He world tell them what kis Lordship did ley. The opittion wee, by Mr. Ciboria's request, committed to oriole& and stated Slant ha Lordship was of opine,. that the rundown of Mackin did rot furnish any grounds of eooviction against Johnson mad Cook; het ea examining the decluatines, which he amid dose with IRMA Use. he was of epee°. than she, cusisised etiallbore adiftimit Coe the evovietise of Destiontet; Feelleee Mackay This opiates of the Lord Advocate was immediately vent of toads Beek of Emdisnal, and the Bank's tiesesessisatiou to peso:vow Mackay was founded upon that opinion. He would ay, that he had never beard of inch • ground of ob. jeetto. to • prosecution; and he would appeal to the know ledge cud experieuce of every officer ofjostiee, when he mat ed his belief that this was the first lilae that such an olijec. tine had arisen. He had the evidence of the woman herself, who was the party aggrieved, if there was any injustice in the case; and she tkerefute might be supposed ready enough to tell if any such uodentanding had existed. Yet she, lair father, and the gaoler, would all declare that they never heard... each an understanding ; lint that the woman woo most 'axioms to be tried fur unlawfully powassiug, instead of uttering forged notes, because she understood that it was • transportable offence; aid she appeared most material to Mr. Gibe's for nee indulgence which he masifested towards her, in romplsing will her request. The Pursuer hail sub sequently go*. to the trial of the accused, along with Mr. Rom. Mr. H. Drummond, and the Lord Advocate, and heard • breathing of such an objection in the whole course of the proceedings. Afterwards iisterest was made with the Crown, mad • free pardon obtained fur the Prisoimer. This in tereessiun might have proceeded from various circeentsures in the knowledge of the Lord Advocate, without its implying that blame attached to any quarter; but the D. fender would col let it rest free from the afereaer of etlailllflr ; Mid not only did he safer blame, but artu•lly weal so far ea to fain i. rate as expression of disappraibetion, which he alleged was comferved on Mr. Gibson by the Court of Justieisery. The ante was, indeed, most humorously described by the De. feeder. la walked Sir Wm. Rae (the Sheriff), who COMMON •ieated his surprise to the Lord Advocate, t h at the Prissier should be brought to trial after she had undergo.. so many exasaisatioas. The Lord Advocate communicate. his woo nahmeat to the Lords of Justiciary, by whom it is rellecte4 back oa his client from she Bench, in the face of the opts Court; and after this sympathetic expression of surprise, a pardon was, immediately applied for and obtained, um the Evened that there had bees a promise made to the Parel by the Prosecutor, which bad not been complied with. The disapprobatie. was alleged to have beet; represent, arid the •pplicatios for • pardon to have been recommended by the, Court : it world, however, be proved, that it could mil have bees by the Court, sitting in the capacity et a Coeds. The pardon was said to have been applied fee es lbs roma ofa prestige, of which, however. the .410 would et:neatly state if there was may, would herself *NV the existesce. Rot it was evident that it coned sot hive been mirk ea that getemeed, as it meld sot have beesmilone asking der • disemmeetioe of their own services, sod t=V 4 all the Crews agents employed Its the prosecuttuu. It was, is feet, never granted upon that grimed at •11, and this be wooed undertake to prove to the satisfectioa of the Jury. Mr.Gibmois bad obtained &legal conviction ageism the Pri gamer, and had In reality oohing to du with the exercise of the royal demote", though be could not but have rejoiced in the merciful treatment of the Pastel. He did not admit that any blame had been imputed to hi, client ; but assonateg that the Lord Advocate had coupled his applies* fee mercy with a reflection of couture on Mr. Gibson, lumeleomee, his Lordship have meted in that rase! He shoal/ mow gale their at ottoom to the facts stated to the libel. il alleged that the Pursuer, a gentlemen, the agent of the Bank £.giasd, isduced a /sideman from • woman, by a pro paiss4. ad thee, by concealing that promise, obtain ed peosessa lion and content's. How was this accusation to do wino hated? It said to the Puma, " You are guilty of smeller, by means of fraud—by a conviction obtained through • fraudulent concealment." Geatlemeu, if any of "tiu had held so estate over which Mr. Gibso. was sgest, and bad believed this state meat, would you lint bare loathed his society as a mot? If it had been believed, he was gone in his protessius— gone as the agent to the Bank--extiugisished in his character and his profession. I declare to rot, Gentlemen, I would as soon walk with Mr. Gibson, after I had ran him stab that woman to the heart, as to believe one half of that statement, and still roai• his society sod fellowship. • What motive can you rack your fancies for the invaiitios oti, in order to account fur the malice which, if this sweetest were true, Mr. Ciboria must have exhibited ariiaal that we. man? He appealed out to what the late Lord Advocate amd the late Sheriff (the present Lord Advocate) would mow say, but to the recorded opinions of those individuals at the pe. , nod referred to; by this evidence, and by that of the other gentlemen whom he had named, would the charges contained is the libel be satisfactorily rebutted. If those charges were false, sod unfounded, and injurious, it followed that they mast be malicious. He begged the Jury to read tee Ant issue, and observe bow every simple fact was aggravated into the moat cruel imputation seafood the Pursuer. This was as attack on the Pursuer, Weems, be happened to dif fer in polities from his cowardly as:admits ; it warn attack am Mr. Gihsoa es the " Ageut of Widgets's." Now, if the Jury believed all these statemseets to be false and 'malicious, they could not believe worse; yet there were conservancies which gave • shade of aggravation to the tendert of the De rimier. Nissen° was at first given 'up as the Editor of the Deacon, es it is now proved, for the purpose of deceptiose— It is now admitted that Hiram. was mot the senior. and further that the author is not lumen mot withstanding it had been promised to I him, provi ded the Pursuer would accept of another satisfaction instead of legal satisfaction. There was an mistake which Juries could fall into, that was se prejamlicial to society, as to Pappas thus character ea. be viadiested by less than ample damages. If a Member of Parliament, who is accused of stirring op the loser orders to *eddies, sad being the friend and associate of suspected pa. mete, can, after falsifying the accusation, obtain only Is. damages, it was idle to think of CUlllielt here for • radia tion of character. There may be those who imagine, and perhaps truly, that Mr. Gibson would cousider • farthiag demure • sufficient satisfaction, as far as money was con cerned; hut it behoved them to consider what the Defender would say to math a verdict. %Would be mot fifer that his coaduet had received the raced of a Jury's commer.latiota ?

As soon as a forger (meaning forgery) is discovered to base bee. committed, a lank has only is give information to the public prosecutor, the Pmcwraere Fiscal, and the crime will thru be investigated, and the cri. heal brought to justice at the public expeose, in the same way that soy oilier criminal would be disposed of who had. committed soy other crime, to the prejudice of an Isdivi. dual. When, however, this course is not followed, and books, or their legal advisers (loeeeing thereby to desired, sad poise out the Pursuer), from too bees an intestate as their ems interest, instead of leaving matters to he cos. ducted in the ordinary way, by the official persoes appointed for that purpose by the public (meaning the Lord Advocate), officiously volunteer to assist in the investigation, sod were Imsginieg that their (meaning the said bank's) again are of tow groat importance to be intrusted to the counsel and agent whom Government has been so credulous as to Intrust with the mauagement of the craziest business of the registry (meaning the country of Scotland), ay eire sot satisfied, unless they have also the beagle if the eminent talents of the great agent of Whiggish (waiting the Pursuer), and half a dozen Whig ease & all, I am not prepared to deny, that a bank marks forced to disburse even a greater slim than 1,2001. illifeaw s however, I can speak decisively as to this, I meet free know hum Mr. James Gibson, W.

In this case, the agent of the Bank of England (ineaumg the Pursuer) isduced a young woman, by a pro mise that she would be taken as a witness against others, to make a declaration admitting her guilt, and giving full in ion as to the way in which the crime was committed, /11 1 11 (meaning the Pursuer) afterwaids thought proper to have her tried, and, by concealing from the Lord Advocate the way in which her atefession had bees obtained, ioduced him to give hit instance to an indictment against her.
