Yesterhsy the whole of the trials baying been decided, the following thirteen prisoners (among whom only one had been convicted of forgery) were sentenced to death : John Smith, alias Canton, Sarah Blakeley, Jane Brown, Samuel Solomons, Moll() Muzzi otti, Patrick M'Court, Robert Rhodes, John Bur gess, Hannah Dowley, Edward Shribbs, Julia Bryan, John Sheering, and John Green. Charles Rennet was brought up among the other prisoners to receive the sentence of thelaw. He was indeed the very picture of wretchedness : his hollow eyes, and emaciated countenance, evi dently showed the dreadful mental sufferings he had undergone during his confinement in New gate, even for the short space of time which had elapsed since his trial and conviction on Friday last. When brought into the dock, and while sentence of seven years' transportation was pass ing upon him, he held down his bead and was silent ; but as soon as sentence WM pronounced, he became dreadfully agitated, and burst into a flood of tears. In this state he was led out of Court by one of the turnkeys. A stout-looking, determined thief; who stood by the side of Ren net, and who received a similar sentence, formed a striking contrast to the behaviour of Rennet; and to show how little he cared for the punish ment, addressing the Recorder, vociferated with an oath, " I hope you may remain there till I come back." The whole number of prisoners who we re brought up for seuteuce was 136. 15 RESTOg LONG U. SMITH. This was an action by the plaintiff, proprietor of a %Vest India ship, against the defendant, who is Treasurer of the West India Dock Company, to recover compensatiou in damages for a quantity of sugar destroyed ou board the - plaintiff's vessel on entering the Dock front the River Thames, where the vessel struck against one of the piers and was bulged, whereby a great quantity of water entered the vessel, and destroyed the sugars in question. The defence was, that the aceirient occurred through the carelessness of the persons on board the ship. A great number of witnesses were examined on both sides, the detail of whose evidence would he of no general interest ; but the examination oc cupied the Court till three o'clock. The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the evidence with apposite observations ; and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1124/. Q. WESTNIINSTER HUSTINGS. ARTHUR MORRIS, ESQ. V. HENRY HUNT. This was an action brought by the High Bailiff of Westminster against . l.Vlr. Henry Hunt, one of the Candidates at the last General Election for the representation in Parliament of the City of Westminster, to recover a third share of the ex pence of erecting hustings, paying poll clerks, &c. in Covent-garden, during that Election Con test, the action being founded on the Statute 53 Geo. 111. c. 152. Mr. SCARLETT (with whom was Mr. MARRYAT, Mr. GURNEY, and Mr. SMEDLEY) stated the plain tiff's case, and observed, that the action was brought by the High Bailiff of Westminster, against rt gentleman whom the Jury might pro bably have heard of before, as a person who pro fessed himself to, be a great advocate for public independence, and a candidate for popular appro bation. The claim which the plaintiff now preferred was one recognised by Act ofParliament,and which could not be resisted upon any grounds of reason or justice that he (Mr. S.) could anticipate.— .Probably, however, the defendant, whose po pularity had now arrived at its height, might suggest as a defence on the present occasion, that his extraordinary anxiety for the public welfare, and his devotion to the public cause, both in mind as Well as person, had deprived him of the power of attending to his own private concerns, and of performing those obligations which his individual capacity required him to discharge. The Jury, • however, might think that this plea would not serve the defendant on-the present occasion. Ac cording to the Act of Parliament,,upoti which this action was founded, the High Bailiff of Westmin ster was entitled to recover from all persons who stood as Candidates for Representation in Parlia ment, a proportionate share from each, of the ne cessary expellee incurred in the erection of hust ings, paying poll-clerks, and other charges, in cidental to a contested Election. The questions which the Jury had to determine oil the present . occasion were, first, whether Mr. Hunt had offer ed himself as a Candidate for Westminster; se condly, whether he was one of the three Candi dates only who were called upon to contribute towards the expences in question ; and, thirdly, whether the charges and expences of which he was required to bear a share weie reasonable and just. It was true, that by the construction which the late Lord Ellenborough had put upon the Sta tute, 53 Geo. 111. c. 152, in an action against Sir Francis Burdett, a person who did not actually present himself as a Candidate upon the hustings was not liable to contribute to the expense of the Election ; but the defendant could not avail him self of any thing in that decision, as a ground et exemption. At the late General Election there were undoubtedly six Candidates put in nomina tion; three of whom, namely, Sir Francii Bur- Jett, Major Cartwright, and the Honourable D. Kinnaird, were exempted from liability, on the authority of the decision referred to, inasmuch as on being applied to by the High Bailiff before the Election, they had disclaimed the character of Candidates, not hwithstanding their political friends had put them in nomination. The avowed Can didates therefore were only Sir Samuel Romilly, Sir Murray Maxwell, and the defendant. The contributions due from the first two thus men tioned, had been most cheerfully paid, without any difficulty or objection, and the backwardness of the defendant in following their example could only be ascribed to the reason already assigned—name ly, that his devotion to the public interests had completely put it out of his power to attend to his private concerns. It frequently happened that men like Mr. hunt,, who dedicated (he whole of their lives to the public, and who felt an ardent patriotic zeal, were disposed to forget the cere mony of attendhg to their private affairs and pay ing their debts. The instance now before the Court was but too strong a verification of this position. At the same time, however, it was to be hoped that a gentleman of Mr. Hunts pa• tootle disposition would not be disposed to Niggle about sixpences, after_ the distinguished mark of public approbation which he had experienced at the late General Election, in the flattering testi monial which the poll-book disclosed. The witnesses examined in support of the plain tiff's case, were Mr. Francis Medley, the Deputy High Bailiff, and Mr. Intwood, a Surveyor, who had made a n estimate of the expellees incurred by the plaintiff at the late General Election. From the testimony of the former Geutleman, tsp. [PRICE. SEVENIifINCF. peared, that the• only -avowed -Canthilutes , for the Election were,:Sir SamuelllY, Sir Mur. , ray Maxwell, and Mr. Hunt ; and that the. plain tiff had incurred a very considerable xpence in the erection of the hustings, paying poll cletliN, stationery, con.,tables' , wages, printing, Ste.; at Li he stated, that Sir Samuel and Sts Murray Maxwell had without hesitation paid their re. spective shores. The testimony of the latter Hess went to chew, that the estimate of expenca for the erection of the hustings was reasonable and just. His own charge , for np.king the sur vey was 161. odd ; but this charge was made in rem spect of his attendances during the erection of the busting, repairs during the election, and the final removal of the hustings At the suggestion of the Learner) Judge, the plaintiff's Counsel waved the demand against the defendant, in re-pect of the chat ge for consta. Iles, which his Lordship thought was not sus tainable under the Art, and also the items lu the account for printing s &c. It appeared,that alit nug;s :he plaintiff had received the contributions from Sir Samuel It,nnilly and Sir Murray Maxwell, he had nut pad the rarnentet's trill, and had only pa'd the poll clerk?, 26 in number, half a guinea each per diem, the usual tee bring one guinea, but with an understanding that they were to be pai3 the remainder in the event of his recoveriog his demand ag.jiist the dt leudant. Mr. HUNT, who was his own Counsel, after the close of the plaintiff's case, took thr ee objrc.. lions to the plaintiff's right of action ; first, that the best evidence had not been addaced of his having been a cai,didite, inasmuch as the Pttll - bad not been pioducrd ; secondly, that the Act of Parliament on which the plaintiff turd bring a private one, had not been proved; and, thirtli;, that it was necessary to produce the original writ to the High Skeraf of the Comity insteau of the precept to 'the .High Bailiff, for the ;nowise of proving the right of the latter to hold the tion. All these objections, however, were over ruled, the Cl&q J,istice holding, as to tht first point, that the best evidence of the delend ,nt's being a Candidate, was his own deckration iq writing to that effect; as to the second, that the Act of Par!lame:tit in question vas in fact the re newal of a 'while Act; and, as to the third, that the production of the precept was quits sufficient for the purposes of this action. Mr. iluicc then went to the Jury, and con tended as the principal ground of his defence to this acrion, that at all events he was only lia7ble to one-sixth of the expences in question, tit ginz on the authority of the ac►ion triad in 16e8 against Sir Francis Burdett, that it was tot ne cesstoy, according to Lord Elleuborough's rul ing, that•a Candidate should be actually present on the hus•int;c, to rcnider hint liablr, as a con tributor to the expence of t he election, concluding from thence lbw Sir Francis 13,rdett, Mr.,Cart• wright, and Air. Kionaird, being repre:,entea during the late election by their Agents and Co; mittees, were equally liable with himiell to con tribute towards the plaint.trs demand. He com plained that the Learned Counsel tor be plaintiff had resorted to unwarrantable insinuations, its suggesting that he cad attained the height of his popularity in the City of \Vestminstet. 'These insinuations, he said, were the more unjustifia ble, when it was considered, that probably other Candidates fora seat in Parliament had been as backward as himself in paying their election debts. He was not disposed to tallow the Learn ed Counsel through his peregrinations at Lewes and Peterstield, but it was not unlikely that the Learned Counsel might be subjected to the same species of complaint. Mr. SCARLETT.---In all events, Mr. Hoot, I hays paid my bills at Pttersfield. Mr. HUNT resumed, and coml►lained of the taunts which had been thrown out rgainst him by the Learnrd Counsel, and alluded to :he injury he had sustained from the improper mention of his name by the Ledrned Counsel, at a late trial at York, in associating it with that of Sir Samuel Romilly. Mr. SCARLETT—I don't know what you mean ; but if you wish to report accurately wadi 1 said a hundred and fifty miles off, I beg you will do so. I have no wisl► to co►►ceal what I then said. I think I then said, that you did Sir Samuel Ron►illy all the harm you could by saying that 101 l were of the same side with him. Mr. HUNT proceeded in his address, and insist ed that there was no foundation for this asser tion. As to the other part of the case, be con tended, that the charges made by the plaintiff for the hustings were most exorbitant and unju tifia- He, as compared' kith the expellee of the last Election ; and said, he should call Witnesses to prove this part of the defence. Ac.:ordini,ly be called Mr. James Mills,. a Bristol surveyor and en ginetr ; Thomas Flemming, a carpenter ; Mr. Jenkins, a poll-clerk, employed at the election Mr. Burt, a linen-draper, one of Major Cart wright's Committee at the last election ; and Mr. R. Garrell, a constable, who was employed at the rlusting3 on the General Election. Mr. SCABLETT made a very ingenious and elo quent reply on behalf of the plaintiff. The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the eAse with the strictest impartiality, and The Jury, who were chiefly composed of Tales men, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2741. 103. Bd., being one-third of the plaintiff's demand, exclusive of the items above-tueutioned. The Court tat until half-past sight o'clock in ths cvcaing. ‘,.o ** )
