FOR HL IMPRP , ONNIENT FOR DEBT. TO CREDITORS, TRADERS, AND MEN OF PRO- PE RTY. CREDITOR3i.-TRADERS, ard MEN OF PROPERTY, fin. you and your protection only is Impai .sonmelit tor. lido said to be allowed ! But do t.ot be lid to believe that your greatest evil is yoor greatest good. Look closely at imprison-- 111 ,w foe Debt, and see whether it is really what ynu are taught to imagine. Consider it on the i7Sounds of its alledged purpose ; and examine wheth , :r icanswets, or is at all conducive to, this purpose.:•View it on the grounds of your pecu niury interests;- and view it attentively, with eye s (Merl ottevrty side to those interests. if it be ,found to 'promote them, let it, by all means, how tver contrary. to the rights •of nature, and the claims of hAnanity, be continued, But if it. be found tat be: iet direct and npiterial opposition to tbose interests,- need the rights of nature or.the claims of humanity be appealed to against it ? That thet'Debtots being bound up in the idleness and consequent wiproductiveness of a Jail cannot in itself he beneficial or useful to any of von, even to his imprison in; Plaintiff himself, is so obvious, that the bate rt:icntion f it is the fulness of de tnoustration. At temp! i any farther illustration of it would be absurdy itself ; it would be la bonrio4 to prove that it is dark at midnight. No person can imagine d rat tihproductiveness is pro- Auctive ; that imtetivity is active; that the idle ness of the Debtor storks for the benefit or gain of the Creditor. Let us enquire what is its actual operation in compelling payment.—The late worthy Mr. NEILD, an active and enlightened Magistrate, Many years Treasurer to the Socitty far the Relief and Discharge of persans imprisoned for Small Debts, anti upwards of thirty years in tie continual habit of visiting our prisons, says, io his evidence before tlic LORD'S ComtvuTTßP,, that '' Imprisonment for Debt" (which be represents as a system big with evil) does not nt all answer the end which the Creditor means' to efE•et by it ; the whole of the money seeming to be absorbed in law expences, And scarcely one •Credit or in ten, the petitions of whose Debtors come before the Society, receiving one shilling ot debt above costs " Again he says, that out of 520'persons,whose Debtors have been tlischarged by the Society, 438 have not received nt,e shilling of debt or costs." Here are upwards Of seven to one who absolutely lose by impri sonmt,ot for debt, not only the entire of tfieit debt, but what, in most instances, is more than the debt, the Attorney's bill of costs and charges. Here, Creditors, here is mote titan theory, more than deduction, more than argument ; here is proof, here is fact against this nefarious sys. tem. Need any more be said against it ? Who would engage in a business front which, for every 'one tnat should blintz ton :tny tlting, seven Would he sure not only to bring ont,nothing of whet was embarked in it, but to be at additional loss ; 81141 even the one bringing out any thing would. be sure of not coming off without loss ? In no in sts.otee does the imprisoning Creditor get his At tot ney's full coot ,:ti charges. Therefore on every occasion imprisonment for debt is a certain loss ot -,atocthing, while in the number adduced by 11. Ir NEILD there were upwards of seven to one who lost th'e entire of their debt and costs by it. LQt us see bow many lost the entire of what they imprisoned for ; for though a person should get the whole of his costs -and charges, if be gets nothing of what lie, imprisoned for, he will have but his trouble and loss of time, and of peace of mind, for his pains.: It is the plan of the Thatrihed Hoose Society not to exceed ten pounds for the discharge of any prisoner for debt ; and what the Society allows is generally swallowed up by the expenres of the bare arrest, and consequent ly out of those 520 imprisoning Cred:tors in stanced by Mr. NEIL!), while 458 lost the entire of debt and costs, every one of them lost the en tire of debt, and had nothing for their pains but their trouble and loss of time, and of peace of mind. - • But great as is this proportion of Creditors losing by imprisonment . for debt, we shall find that it is by no means the entire. It cannot be too much to suppose, on an average, that for each Imprisoning or Detaining Creditor every prisoner for debt has tour Creditors who do not imprison or detail, ;. dose also lose what the unfortunate prisoner for debt owes them, as by his imprison ment lie is deprived of the ability of paying any In tipr instance, therefore, adduced, there were 2,600 Creditors, who, by imprisonment for dvbt, lost the entice of what imprisonment for debt is said to he allowed to procure. Perhaps some persons may imagine that no thing like this is the case with those Creditors whose Debtors are imprisoned for large debts. Bit I never knew one prisoner for debt whose Creditor got his debt by the imprisonment. Cer tainly in no instance does the imprisonment pro cure the Creditor the entire of the debt ; for in Po c Ise is the entire of the Attorney's costs and charges recovered from the imprisoned Debtor ; and, consequently, what is deficient the Creditor loses out of the debt. Supposing, then, that one omit of twenty Creditors imprisoned for large debts gets a part (for no one gets the entire) of the debt by the imprisonment, how ,heavily at the sidr even of such Creditors is the balance against imprisonment. In the first instance, there are nineteen who lose, along with , the costs and cho'rges, the entire, for one who gets any of the debt by it. Then, for every one of those Impri soning Creditors, there are four Unimprisoning Creditors; consequently, for every one of them, who gets any, there are seventy-nine ivito lose the whole of the debt. one. (-fere, Creditors, is the actual operation of Int- Aris..)nment for Debt in compelling payment; in the i!.•!•ince given, there were upwards of seven Cre ditors to one, who dirt not get one shilling of debt or costs. How many, consequently, lost more than double their debt ? It is moderate, in,teed, to take them at twice ICU times seven to one. Then every one of them, that is, 520 to 0, lost every farthing of debt, with time,' and ease, and peace of mind, anti Christian " doing to as they would be done-by," and humanity. Then again .Ci evtry one of those 52Uobere were four others who 100 every farthing of debt ; that is, by the actual operation of imprisonment for debt, `2,600 Cred;tori of nri,oners for small debts lost every farthing of debt ; while 79 to 1 of the Cre ditors of pi isoners for large debts also lose every faulting of debt by it.

(Before Mr. Justice Ho L ROY n and a Special Jury.) CONVICTION FOR BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION. REX V. SIR MANASSEH LOPEZ, BART. This was an indictment of rather a singular, but highly important nature. It charged the de fendant with having, by himself, and by certain agents, corrupted and bribed several of the Elec tors of the Borough of Grampound. Mr. Serjeant I'ELL opened the case on the part of the Crown, which he described as one of the most important cases which had ever presented itself to the consideration of a Jury. Important (the Learned Serjeant said) as it regarded the in dividual—important as it regarded the public in terest, and the purity of the Constitution. Here was a person of immeAse wealth, applying that wealth to the most unworthy purposes. Here was conduct which struck at the very root of that greatest blessing of our Constitution, the Freedom of Election. The subject of representation bad been much discussed ; various were the opinions entertained upon that subject, but all must agree, that the best way of preserving the purity of re presentation was to visit severely acts like those with which the defendant stood charg ed, in every instance in which they should, by good fortune., be detected. The Borough of Gram- . pound (the Learned Serjeant continued) contained 60 voters, claiming that right in respect of being ireemen. In November, 1815, a meeting took place between Sir M. Lopez and a man of the name of Hoare, who would be called as a wit ness ; Hoare being a voter of Grampound, and the .object of the meeting being to adjust terms for bringing Sir M. Lopez in for the Borough.— This was to he effected by a loan of 20001. to the electors—this loan being really a gitt, and the price of their votes. In addition to the evidence of Mr. Hoare and other Gentlemen, the Learned Serjeant would produce letters from Sir M. Lo pez himself, which could leave no doubt upon the nature of the transaction. • A titviiher of letters were then read from Sir M. Lopez and from Mr. Hunt, his solicitor, ad- dressed for the most part to Mr. Wiliam Hoare. 'By these letters it appeared, that Mr. Hunt was the coulideroial solicitor of Sir M. Lopez, and th'at he was the ”gent employed to manage the business of this election ; tha,t was to be paid upon securing forty-five ,voters; that the , 2,0001. was to be a loan, and to be paid by Mr. Hunt. After expending considerable sums, it appeared that Sir M. Lopez felt rather insecure as to his interest. Mr. Teed . , the present Peti tioner for Grampound, paid a vi : to the Borough, and Sir Manasseh Lopez declares in one of his letters, that far from being alarmed by Mr. Teed's journey, if that Gentleman would place him in the situation in which he stood before the com mencement of the negociation, be (Sir 'M.) would resign his -interest to him. One or these letters, in which, speaking of time Electors of Grampound, Sir M. L. says, " if they can find any Gentleman who will pay them better, they may transfer their services to him ;" and another,. in which Sir M. tiopes be shall not be put to the additional ex• pence of a dinner to the voters, excited consider. able merriment. Wm. Hoare, being examined by Mr. Caselee, swore that be was an Alderman of Grampound ; that, in Nov. lsl4, be went to London, and saw Sir M. L. at his house in Arlington-street ; that he gave Sir M. a letter of introduction from Sir John Perring ; that Sir M. said, he beard there was- an opening in the Borough of Grampound, and that he should be coining down soon, and would see witness on the business ; that• Sir P.I. Lopez regnested wiineis to consult the rest of the Magistrates and Freemen on the subject, and write hint word ; that witness then told Sir M. that the electors must be satisfied, and 20001. would be necessary for that purpose ; that, after he returned to Grampound, he wrote to Sir M. on the subject, and received an answer. In the beginning of December, he met Sir M. at Ply mouth; that he went with him to Mr. Hunt's office, where he saw Mr. Hunt ; that he then ex plained to Sir M. in the presence of Hunt, that tire fr e emen wanted 20001. and that Sir M. said Hunt should come down ; that. Hunt was at Grampound twice ; that on the first occasion he did not see so many of the freemen as he expect ed, and only staid a few hours; that he after wards met Hunt by appointment at St. Austle, and Hunt came again to Grampound, where he saw about forty of the freemen ; that he told Hunt, that the freemen expected 501. each ; that Hunt said that could not be—that they could have only 351. each ; that Hunt then desir ed him (witness) to send the voters into the room (a room at an inn) one by one ; that he did so; that Hunt's (let k, Mr. Rawle, was in the room, and John Brown, a voter, when witness left it '; that Symons was not introduced at this time; that he saw Sir Manasseh Lopez some months utter at his seat near Plymouth, and that Sir M. then said. I have secured Symons ; I have done some thing fur him here;" touching the palm of his hand. That he afterwards introduced Allen, a voter, to Hunt, who did not seem inclined to re ceive him, as they bad already got a majority.— On being cross-examined by Mr. Adam, he said that when Mr. Teed and Mr. Lambe, his solici tor, came down, he told them that he had a letter from Sir M. L. in which Sir M. said he would re linquish his claim to any Gentleman who would do better by the borough. That as he was look ing for this letter among others from Sir M., Mr. Lambe said, .‘ I will ►ook for it ;" that Mr. Lambe then took all the letters, and said he would return them. - That they had not been returned. That he was anxious to have them back. lest people should suppose he had sold them. When Hunt came to Grampound the second time, and witness sent in the freemen, one by one, he did not see any one receive any money. Q. Did you receive any money ?—A. Yes, l did. Mr. Justice HOLROYD—I ought to tell you, you are not bound to answer any question which may criminate yourself. Mr. AnAms—l now put the question again. Did you receive any money ?—Wilness : I do not chose to answer. Mr. Teed (examined by Mr. Sedeant PEW said, that he was an unsuccessful candidate fat Grampound last election, and was at the present moment a petitioner. That in August, 1817, h e received from Isaac Watts, a voter of Grampound, a paper containing the names of the voters iv" had been bribed by Sir M. Lopez; and that Wtot g told him the respective sums which had been paid, which he not down against the respective names' That he 'Called on Sir M. Lopez in London. That , he told Sir M. that lie called, at the desire Of Watts, to know what-he (Sir M.) intended to do respecting Grampound. If he (Sir M.) would be content with one seat, he (Alr.Teed) might have the other. That witness then told Sir M. he was acquainted with his proceedings at Grampound, and produced the list he had received from‘Va ttg ' That Sir M. merely expressed his surprise where the witness could have got so cotsrect a list. Th° Sir M. said the stinks were very correct, except that he had paid more to some than was I"; down. Th a t wit ness to ld Si r M. L. that he a n " the electors were subject to a prosecution ; ° Li !. Sir M. then said h e wou ld protect t h e e l ec tors, " it cost him 100,0001. That he had taken Coto" • • set's opinion ; and that the electors were not liable' because two years had elapsed since the transaction! On his cross-examination by Mr. Adams , ' slr. Teed said, that he did not tell- Sir M. L. that ' should be prosecuted; but only that he was to prosecution. That the letters were taken from Hoare by Mr. Lambe with the consent of grim es : i , and that he (witness) did not choose to re f ' them when he discovered their contents.
