The Chairman Observed, that in , ,conseqnence of the Ad oflast Session, entitled the Property At, the Court of DireCtors had taken the opinion of Mr. , AnAm,the,Company's standing Counsel, whether the CoMpany might charge the amoun t of t he l l ut y , on the dividends payabl.:, to the Proprietors amongst their ordinary out-goings, so that the Proprietor may receive the,.full amount of the dividends; or tvhether . the Company is bound. to dedud the pro.. poitionate part of the duty from the dividends 'pay_ able to thn respective Proprietors.

'to the detall.of which Ii 'would not be necessary tcir hip) to go' before such Gentlemen as he had the ho.: noorof addressing, and therefore he should proceed . , to a statement of the circumstances of this ease; which were, shortly, as followt: s —James Sharp, the person who was- the subjed of the Defendant's Bribery ; Was taylor by trade ;he was also a labourer in one of the Warehouses of ;he East India Company, and also a FICCIII an, of the Corporationof the Borough of liedon, which had some very par. titular custom, : the Candidates were all of them men of honour, so that they never made any, peOmisie, to give any money to one of the Voteri`by way' of Bribe; hut it was always understood that each Voter . Should have 201. from every candidate to ' whom he gave a PlUmper, and tot. from each Can didate whenever ha gave his vote for, two. This person, James Sharp, comp:tined chat at the Elec. tlon of 1;796, Sir Lionel Darsell, lately deceased, owed hint 171. tB.. he having, received only two guineas out of 'the 361. that lie ought to have re.. ckiretl--so that l lCe' was deteithinen not to vote for any other Candidate vvielitaut as s previoos promise.-- This was before the last , , EleCtien for thi s . 80. rough, This person, Jaines Sharp, called on Mr. Mestaer, it his huuse, having before seen him, at a public meeting 'where he made a speech to the Eleelors of this Corporation, and declared himself a candidate to represent them. Sharp received no money then, but at a subsequent period he did;'he came to Mr. Mistaer, and said he was distressed, and asked him for the loan of 4. or el. and requested Mr. Molars to lend him that sum. Mr. Mestaer asked Sharp if '2 or 31. would not do ? The answer was that 2 or 31, were too little, bu: that 41. %sapid do. Upon this. the Defendara turned round and gave this ma a . 51. note. This man afterwards voted for Mestaer and Johnson at the tleaion, and. afterwards the sum of tot. was made up to him by the payment of 31. Ss. by the Defent s lent.llitmelf s and two guineas by his Agent. James Sharp was called, and he proved the case • which had been thus opened by Mr. EIOKINE. After this isdlowed - evidence of ati nature merely formal, such its related to the EleCtion having taketv place, and the retort) fnade upon it. 's The next Mines's, and indeed the only one, was Christopher Saville, E , c. - His •esidencessvas ohjeded to. by Mr. DALLAS J who asked the Witness whether he had not beers conviCteci of wilful and corrupt perjury . ? To which Mr.'Saville answered yes. me. DALLAS then asked him, Whether as a punishment for such offence, he had not stood in and upon the pillory P To - which he answered yes. . • Upon 'this Mr. DALL AS r ut in the Record of•the conviction of Mr. Saville of wilful and corrupt jury, under' the name and addition of Christopher Atkinson; Esq.' • • Then , Mr. sEasetste in answer' to this pleaded His Majesty's pardon ; on which Mr. Da t, L.ll still, continued to 'objee.t to Mr. Saville as a Wit. ness, on the ground of his having suffered an in. famous punishment. Lord Etst,eneolotrott saidrthet as this teas an IndiCtment for Perjury, ,not upon the Statute, but RP the Common Law, and as the Witness • had re.. ,teived His Majesty's patdons, he thought he was, by virtues of that pardon, restoretf theses4apeteney of a witness, but the malt of the Witnessiwas still a question for•the Jury to determine ; upon which Mr. 4aville was examined. But previous to his examination, he said he wanted very much to say a few words to the Court s but Lord ELtasstaoitotrott, said he could not hear him, h e S too d prec i se l y i n d ie same situation as if not a word had been said upon his competency, anti he must, like every other Witness, give his evidence without any preface. Mr. Saville was then exinnined, and his testimony went t o corroborate that of the witness Sharp. Ile said, that before the elation came on Mr. Mestaer, t h e present Defendant s called upon him, and it was understood between them, that they were not to he in hostile interests; that he asked Mr. Mestaer, how the business, meaning that of the eleftion, Was going on To which Mr. Menges said, very sue. cessfully. He th en as k e d hi en , h ow the business, was going on in . London Mr. Mestaer said, thar Sharp (the last Witness) bud been with him, .and that' he had given him el.' He.asked Mr. Mestaer What he thought that success was owing to Mt. Mestaer said lie had promised the voters fifteen " eoiineas instead of tin, .upon which the Witness ex., R rested great indignation andatbhorreriee, for that r. Mestaer did not stand to the point of honour, meaning that theroought not to have been any pre. vious.promise from the Candidates to the Voters, but that the money should be delivered afterwards, and that was the course and custom of the Borough, He admitted that an anion had been brought against him by Mr. Mestaer for a similar penalty as that. which was now sued fur, anti that if the, Plaintiff recovered in. this Aaiun, lie, the Witneas, should he exonerated from that *ditto, as the verdict in the present ease would be an answer to it,under the At of Parliament which excused those whose evidence convicted the Pefaulter in thefirit instance.

This considerariOn o theref ore , most ma .' terially 'diminished hitcredit ; and further, all thae' he knew of the case was the result of 'a'confidential c ~ conversation, the IWO Of whiCh he had betrayed.— But, independent of this he submitted, that when the'' former charaEet of this Wines was considered, and ' particularly the nature Of' the offence of which hi was convinced, it WaS impossible for a Court of' Justice" to have the least 'reliance on what he said.' Mr. DALLAS said it was painful to him to put the' ,questions he had to put to:thiS Witness, .and it was !scill more painful to him to Make the observations r :he was now makitig, but his dory td hip Client de.: manded it, and that was a suflicleot'apology ; he should therefore add, that he did as : a Gentleman de.' dare, that he was in" his conscience convinced, that as to Christopher Atkinson, Esq. now Christopher Saville, Esq. the day of his public exposure on` the Pillory for Perjury was a day Of tritutph, compared 'to 'the exhibition he m u te in. Court this day. This, : ' Mr. DALLAS said, was his firm conviction, and he believed in his cimscietice he should never alter that opioioo,` , .. It was then proved by a Nlte iven in evidence, th*t Sharp kw pcomi:tc.l to 'filtun - the $l. 1113 ft" ceived theDeteildant. • Mr • Eltit Ittlt • crintended i t that this et/tuella being given on behalf.. of-:.she Defendant, entitled him to make: a reply on behalf of the Plaintiff,— but Lord ,ELLI/46611tOUGit said, dust the Pleinfiff4.,„ Co r unsel,i in this. ease; had •no right 10 reply, uniesel!: a Witness had been examined for the .Defendant. 7—. His Lordship then proccedekto address the Jury, in the course of which . he 'Observed, that the tines.. tion.was brought to a narrow compass. This was an anion brought .upon. the 13 ribcry .Aft. I.t was •a siMple question that 'nest decide it. It was a,mete question of fad —or, indeed, i t 'might he said . there were two questions of fad to he decided'hy the Jury. : _ . The first was, whether the Money mentioned by the .Witneas Sharp, was received by hirn . or which there could not be inuelt doubt, since it was part of•the Defendant'iCase that he had received it, ,only it wasebntended by the Defendant, , that it was not a gifr, :but a loan. , The second question, and, indeed', properly siteaking, the only question whether, supposing. ,the money was received, it was received as a 'Loan or ass Bribe? That was really the question, and it was a very plain and simple question, so that it would be unnecessaty . for him to say any thing more about it titan to recite the Evidence (Here his Lordship summed up the whole of the Evidence.] , On the' first question, namely, whether Slurp had received the money, that was clear, as he had observed already.— On the other question, he' left it entirely to the. Jury on the evidence to say whether ir was a. loan of a bribe, and ,as they were .of opieion the • one way or the. other upon that point, upon the evidence, their verdiet wou ld h e f or the Plaintiff or the Defendantie His Lordship observed thet the ideas of . Mr, Saville, the Witness, on . the morality of this, case, were a little whimsical, for whether the 101. was given to the voter for his votebefore he voted or after he‘voteti, it was the same thing provided he was corrupted by ir. His Lordship observed als o' that 'undoubtedly M r . S av ill e was cons id era b ly interested in this matter although the Ad of Petliament male a Witness of him, for certainly he would be entittisi to Use this vertu( if it passed for the Plaintiff, in an, saver to . the Mill's instituted against him by Mr. °Nlestaer, fur a similar penilty. However, the iu made him a witness; It was observed in this ease that .Mr. Saville had divulged the confidence of 116., vote communication .rtigle to him—upen which Lordship said, that howev e r : r. Saville might think that 'public duty paramount. to the feelings of it Gen. tleman, he would say for himself, that if any chn. denim had reposed a confidence in him, anti find afterwards treated him ever so in, ' he she uki. have doubted very much how far his feelings as a Gentle, man would have - allowed him to divulge, fit ;he • sake of a 'pecuniary advantage to himself, the secret of such a confidential conversation. however, the Jury were to judge of the whole, us it ape.....e ted to them upon the evidence. The Jury retired` and were out for near three quarters of an•hour, and then zetutned a vetdia fur the Plaintiff; dama3es soot. h I
