THELLIMSOr• THIS was an Indiament against the Defendant, charging him with Wilful and Corrupt Perjury ; and the substance of the charge svaSc• that the Defendant, George Woodtbrel Thellusson, Esquire, hadsworn that- one Richard Coppinger, did owe to him and his Brothers, .Partners in Trade, the sum of Two Thousand Pounds, upon the balance of accounts be,: twccu them,, whereas in. truth, he knew, the said Richard Coppinger did AM • owe him any sncirsum of money in balance. notrer, cliarge in the In dietment stated, that the said George Woodford Thellusson had..sworn that he was -the ,sole;„bwner of a t Ship called the Gnardian;:whereas in fad he the said George Woodford Thellutson 'well kniw that Richard and William Coppinger were tile Propries., tars of the said Ship, Sze. a. - These assignments ofTerjary Were founded upon very tong and complicated , accounts between the House of Messrs.. Thellusions-and a person of the name of Richard Coppinger, _who was once the owner of the Ship Guardian, which had been em ployed in - the West Trade, on which vessel Messrs. Thehlussons advanced the sum of t cool. and the . which not being paid, an assignment was taken of thz vessel to Meslr.v. Thellu,sons, and the proper instruments were made out to manifest the change of the property in the vessel to, Messrs. Thellussona by the assignment of rdr. Coppinger; The .case for the'Prosecationssias condated , by . Mr. ALLY, Mil 'Mlirtyrosit, and Mr. FsitousoN.,, The address to the Court and Jury was male by Mt At.t.y , but as to. :that part of the Indictment which related to the Ownership of the Vessel being in Mr. Thellusson, it appeared, that he took it by . virtue of assignment, made to him by Mr. Cop. ginger, on account . of the Money advanced by him to Mr. Coppinger, which assignment contained. .a provisoe of : redemption, stating, " That when the' money advanced by . ' Mr. Thellusson on this*ca sion, and all future sums that might hereafter affed the Ship, should be paid, the property 'in the Vessel should be recotiveyed to the Original owner,. Mr. Coppinger." &c. . Lord KaNYON said, cr That in the case of a chat tel interest, the usual ft= of the proviso of redtimp tion was, "That on payment of the tnoney, -which was the consideration of the assignment, and other charges, by the Person making the assignment; the deed of assignment should he void, and the property re-vested in him who made the decd.''' . It was tithet , wise in the ease of real =property, and there must be ' a re-cnnveyance- 7 -that, is,„a . re-assignment. But here the' part Y must te-assign, although the interest was only a clrattel . .inte*,' 'because the form of the, pray ilio.was,enot, ; ," Oaf, on payment.of the - money the deed of assignmentlhould be void," but, that the party l • c sh'opld re.convey :''' There was po such reconVeyabee, and, therefore, s6pp9sing the balance of accounts to ,be in favour of Mr; Coppinger, when Mr. Thellusson's affidavit (by-which- he stated' himself to ,be the Owner .of the Ship). was. made, it . was as clear as the sun, that he, Mr. Thellusson,• war, by-Law;the sole - Pnwietor of the Vessel and.

All the circumstances of the Case as they had been disclosed upon the Indidment just now dis posed of, were gone through again, when it appear ed that there was no pretence in evidence for saying that Mr. Thellusson had aced otherwise than pro. perly by Mr. Cappinger ;--ethat as to the balance of the Accounts between Mr. Coppinger, and the House .of-Nlessrs.. Thellussons, Mr.. Peter Isaac Thellusson, a Witness called by -Mr. Coppinger himself in this Cause, proved, that there never'svas a period, since the commencement of their dealings, and the taking the.assignment of the Ship Guardian, , to them„ in which Mr. Coppirger did not owe them 20001. or very near it --that he was at this very hour indebted to them in 30001. and upwards tee- that they were ready at all times, and now most desirous, of delivering the Ship, the Guardian, to the Defendant in' this action, Mr. Coppinget, upon payment of the balance due from him to them.—That Mr. G. Thelluson's having entered into a connection with Mr. 'Cop pinger, was a thing lamented by the whole of Mr: Thellusson's family, who conceived it to be a dis. grace to them, &c.—lt then appeared from' the evi dence of Mr. Serjeant &sr . and Mr, KNAPP, two learned Gentlemen whom the Defendant Mr. Cop pinger consulted on the subjed of ttris , coniplaint, that they Were clearly of opinion on'the 'ease, as it was stated by him, his only remedy, if any, was by . Civil Adion, and they ,disstutded him from any course of a criminal process ag tinst Mr. 'Thellusson. These Gentlemen's Evidences ‘v,ei produced by mere accident, they happening to 'l)c in the Court or Common Pleas this day, and Were sent fot in censeqUence of what Mr. Caplinger bad sworn relative to his having at u: der their ads vice in proceeding' criminally against Mr. Thel lusson in this business. These Learned Gentle. - men, however, could not ha re been examined if the" Defendant, Mr. Coppinget, had not thought lit to release them from all obligations of secrecy, arising from the communication being made between him and, them in the conAdence which is always allowed to subsist between a suitor of a Court of Jfistice his-Advance, Attorney, eec. e —but Mr. Coppinger desired they might he examined. Mr. COppinger concluded this Cue for himself, and had no Counsel in it. He addressed the Jury in a speech two hours in length, and having es.- ambled some evidence, The ATTORNEY GENERAL replied. ,Lord KENvort delivered a short Charge to the jury, for which we are sorry we have no room at present ;`in which his Lordship gave it as his opi nion, that this was a case, not for outrageous, although for large damages, to mark, nut their. dignation, but the sense of the jury of such mali cious condua IA this, and to secure the Public, as well as the Jury could, from 'a repetition of such slander as this.
