TRIAL FOR SELLING GUINEAS.
Court of King's Bench, Guildhall, August 3.
Th- King v yntnrs dr youngs.
The Defendant WHS indicted !or ui.lawfully ex
posing to sale certain quantit y of the current
coin of the realm, called guineas, and disposing
of them at 1/ 2s 6d. the standard, by his Majes- i
ty’s proclamation, having been settled at 11 Is.
Mr. Attorney General stated, that this indict |
ment was rounded on the act of the .'* h and 6th
of the reign of Edward the Sixth ; which enact
ed, that if any person gi*c more, or dispose ' of
any current coin of the realm for a profit, or gave
or received more in exchange than was rnutto
ritvd by the standard which was fixed by royal
proclamation, he or they should be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and be liable to the confiscation of
such coin so exchanged, and l>e subject to a fine
and imprisonment for such oflencc. The chief
object of the act was to prevent persons collect
ing and disposing of the coin of the realm to per
sona leaving the kingdom ; he was sorry to say,
that latterly it had become a prevalent trade.. —
It was unnecessary for him to atate how injurious
it was to the nation at large, and particularly to
the commercial part of the community.-—-He
would prove that the Defendant had carried on
this illicit trade to a great extent. The commis
sioners of the Mint had got information of it, and
wisely provided for his detection. It was unne
cessary for him to state the circumstances, as
they would be detailed in evidence. He was a
fraid that this traffic had heen too long carried
on without being detected ; it accounted for thc
circulalion of British gold on the continent, and
ila disappearance at home. He had not a doubt,
that when the jury were in possession of the
circumstances of the case, they would find the
Defendant guilty.
Mr. Leonard, from the Council Office, produ
ced the Gasetlc containing the proclamation of
George the first, dated from Saturday the 21st
of December, to Tuesday the 24th, in the year
1717, settling the standard of a guinea at 11 Is.
The proclamation was read by Mr Lowtcn.
Mr. Marryatt, Counsel for the Defendant,
objected to it as proof, as the indictment set out
that it war proclaimed under the Great Seal, and
there was no proof that the proclamation in the
Gazette had tlie Great Seal affixed to it.
Mr Attorney General was happy this objection
had been taken, for it vms impossible that the
Sovereign could issue u proclamation without its
pa; sing under the Great Seal.
Lord £llcnborough—“ l atn convinced that the
Proclamation published in a Gazette, authorised
by his Majesty, is sufficient proof, mul we are
not at this day to doubt that Proclamations do not
go under proper scrutiny. It is the only mode
the Sovereign has of communicating his wishes
to his people. I am convinced ilia the Gazette
is good evidence of tue existence of the Procla
mation.”
Mr Attorney-General—" My Lord, I have got
the original Proclamation, with the seal affixed
to it, in court: but 1 wished it to be laid down
by your Lordship, that the Gazette was good
evidence, that it might act a» a precedent in »».
ther places where they have not the advantage
of j our Lordship's presiding.”
Mr. Edward C■ Powell deposed (hat he was as
sistant solicitor to the Mint ; that from some in
jbrmatiqr which came to the office, he gave in
structions to two men, of the names of Caul and
Nash, to proceed to the defendant’s house, on the
26; h.of Deo* mber last, and purchase some gui
neas. In order the better to disguise themselves,
they both spoke the Dutch language. Caul was
to perform the part of a Dutch Supercargo, who
cot.Id not speak English ; and Nash to act as his
interpreter. He gave Nash 591. in Bank of En
gland Notes, which he took an account of, and
made Nash examine them with him ; lie also
gave him two Bank of England dollars, which 1
lie marked. They went to the defendant's house :
he attended in u coach at no great distance oft, ac
companied by a person of llie name of Brownie, an
officer of Shad well Policeoflice. Upon a precon
certed signal being given, he went to the Defen
dant’s house, and found that Leadbtater, a city
marshal, who accompanied Caul and Nash, had
the Defendant in custody. Leadheater produ
ced 50 guineas, which I c said he took from the
person of Caul. The witness asked Nash who
CtuI had received them from ? He answered
from the defendant, and that Caul had paid him
551. 5s. liir them in notes, x a bank doll. He ask
ed the defendant if it was ti ui^2 he said it was ;
but added, that the difference between 521 10s.
& 561.5s. was given him by Caul, as a present for
the exchange ; that he had n«t charged more
than II. Is. for each guinea. Leadheater then
produced a pared of hank of England notes,
which, he raid, he took from a drawer in n bu
reau in the room. They w-ere the notes the wit
ness had given to Nash : there were three short,
lie asked the prisoner if lie had any silver ? He
put his hand in his pocket, and brought it out full
of dollars and other silver.-The witness took
from amongst them the dollar he had marked._
He asked the defendant if he had much more
gold ? He chewed him a bag containing ninety
guineas ; a second, containing a great quantity of
half guineas; and a third with seven shilling pie
ces. There were several empty money bags in
the room. The three other bank of England notes
were produced by Leadheater ; lie took them
from Caul, with the other bank dollar.
J Caul fully corroborated the evidence of the
Inst witness, as to his and Nash’s instructions._
When they went first to the house of thedefen
dant, tliej saw his wife. Nash said the witness
wss an acquaintance of his, just come from Hol
land. Site enquired from the witness what he
wanted ; he replied in Dutch, a little goto ; she
asked who iecosnmended him, in the same Ian.
guage ; he answered captain Kaysoll, who was
gone to Gottenburg ; she shewed them into the
parlour, and sent a hoy for the defendant, who
shortly maae ins appearance, and asked nearly
the same question* his wile had done. JIc said
lie knew captain Kay soil. The witness fold him
he hoped he would let him have the gold on the
ssmeterms as captsin Kaysoll. The defendant
answered, he could not ; he let him have 90V gui
neas, at an advance of Is. 3d. ; but the price had
rose, and he could riot take less than Is. 6d. ad
vance. The witmsstold him he must even agree
to that ; for paper would be of no use to hur. in
II >Sl«nd 5 and he only wanted 50 guineas. The
ch fendant gave him the guineas, and lie paid him
561. in notes, and 5-c by a bank dollar. The de
fendant told him he must take care how he t >ok
them out of the country, for by the taw ot the
land he was not entitled to take mot e than five —
lie told him he need not he afraid, for he would
wind them round his want, N,sh said he knew
a better w-y than that, lor he cculd Sew them in
u girter and fatten his stocking:, with them. The
defendant's wife said, she knew r* better way
than either, and asked the witness if te did not
•wear a cushion in his neck-handketchief i he an.
t a we red mthe affirmative. She hi ought a piece
of flannel, nnd rolled some shillings m it. and said
—“ Thus you nii-.y put your guineas, nnd when
folded in your handkerchief, it will he beyond sus
jvdlon.** The witness proposed they should ';i,c
something to drink, which was sent for. They
took a Ltad» of rum a piece. __ The defendant re
queued that the witness would recommend some
ol his countrymen to him, and by mentioning ids
m III", it would he a passport.-Nash and the
▼ tn ss were going outtif the street door, atten
d'd by the defendant nnd his wif , when they
v. ;re all shoved hack by I .cad better ana Hrowne
- the dr f octant seemed much frightened, and
wh'.ipCied .he with* s, in Dutch, to say, that he
did t o. gi’c more thsn II Is for car.ii gui, jH —

n . t s 1 r guineas, ai d not coin f.,r coin
I-t-'b>effi.cr and Nash corroborated the evi
dc ict, o( the other two witnesses.
Mr.Marrynlisaid, the exchange was admitted
— bti; i. hau bumoly to suUn.il tc his Loruslnp,
that the indictment could notbe ma:n*ained. It I
was founded on an act of Parliament which waa
; nearly oboolite : the act stated tljat it was unlaw
ful to exchange gold coin fur silver, or silver coin
for gold, for profit; hut not a word was mention
ed of fiank notes ; they could not be contempla
ted, for they were unknown tor many years af
ter ; and by the statute, the penally was as great
on the purchnsce as on the purchaser.
Lwid Ellenborough—" If you wish, Mr. Mar
ly alt, you ran sme this point i Not that I hold
| a doubt of its invalidity, but because we have s
! last deal to do, and there will be more lime to
argue it in terms ; 1 have not a doubt hut the sta
tute was intended for the exchange of the truck
of the then present day ; but i think it wide e
■ iough to admit bank notes, or even gross goods,
it it is ugreed to take a certain value over the
standard rurren y’."
Mr- Marryaff—“ The only reason, my lord,
that 1 should wish to argue the question now is,
tiiat the defendant is battle t. a specific punish
ment, if found guilty, and the crown may arrest
him.”
Mr. Attorney General—V I will, my Lord, do
away with Mr. Murryutt's uneasiness, for I w 11
give my promise the Defendant shall not be dis
turbed, until after his council bus an opportunity
of moving for a new trial. Ha is already under
bail.”
Lord El/euborougn—“ Gcnt’.'men of the jury,
1 am of opinion that tile Defendant did receive
more than lie was allowed by the proclamation ;
and I would recommend that you should find
your verdict as such ; at the same time i will
wave the point for the defendant; but don't let it
be understood that l nm of opinion, that it is not
a breach of the statute. I would not wish it to !
go abroad that there was any doubt upon the sub
ject, for it is a most injurious traffic ”
The jury returned a" verdict of— Guilty.

PRIVY COUNCIL APPEALS.
On Saturday the Lords Commissioners of
Appeals in Prize causes finished their sit.
tings for the session, and previous to their ad.
journment, tilt-}’ gave judgment in various re_
served cases of great importance. One of
them especially, which we have pleasure in
reporting was of the greatest interest to the
friends of liberty and humanity, and its de
cision was such as we doubt not will give
great and equal satisfaction in this Country
and America.
Case oj the Amedie, James Johnson, 7tias
ter.
.This was a vessel under American colors,
with stores from Alrica, captured in Dec.
1807, in the West Indies, and carried into
Tortola. The claimant pretended that she
was bound to Charleston, Souilt Carolina,
where the importation of slaves continued to
he lawful to the end of that year ; but hav
ing been detained on the coast, and there
being no prospect of reaching Charleston be
fore the first day oi January , 1808, the peri.,
od appointed for the cessation of the S ave
Trade in every part of the U. S by a law of
the general Congress, the master of necessi
ty, bore away for the Island ot Cuba, there
to wait orders from his owners.
It was contended on the oilier hand by the
captor, that this statement was a mere pre
tence, and that in truth the original plan of
tile voyage was a destination to Cuba, which
was unlawful, under the American laws, long
previous to their general abolition of the slave
Trade.
Admitting, however, the case so told, it
was stenuously contended for the claimant,
that a British Court of Prize had no right to
i take any cognizance of American municipal
law, & as no belligerent right of this conn; ry
i had been violated, the property ought to be
-restored to (he neutral owner. A scries
' of precedents seemed to support this doc
trine.
The ship was condemned at Tortola, and
the enslaved Africans were, according to cur
abolition act, restored to their freedom ; but
the claimant appealed, and the liberty of
the Africans, as well a9 the property of
the ship, depended on the issue of this’ ap
peal.
The case was solemnly argued in March
last, and as in the opinion of the court, it
turned on the new question, of the effect of
the American and British Abolition Acts on
; this species of contraband commerce, when
| brought before a Court ot Prize, the case
on account of its importance, has since
stood over for judgment.-Several oilier
of American slave ships have also stood
over as depending on the same general ques
tion.
On Saturday the judgment of the Court
was delivcied by Sir YVilliam Grant, the
master of the Rolls, nearly in the following
terms:
“ This ship must he considered as being
employed at the Mine of capture, in carrying
slaves from the coast of Africa to a Spanish
colony. We think that »his was evidently
the original plan and purpose of the voyag ,
notwithstanding die pretence set up to veil
the true intention. The claimant, however,
who is an American, co nplaius of the cap
tore, and demands from us the restitution of
property, of which he alledges that he has
been unjustly dispossessed.
“In all the former cases of this kind
which have come before this court, the Slave
Trade washable to considerations very dif
ferent h orn those which belong to it now. It
had at that time been prohibited (as far ns
respected carrying slaves to the colonics of
foieign nations) by America; but byoui own
laws it was still allowed. It appeal ed to us,
therefore, difficult to consider the prohibi
tory law of America in anyjother light than
as one of those municipal regulations of a
foreign State of which this court could not
take any cognizance.
“But by the a vsration which has since ta
ken place the question stands on different
grounds; and is open to the application of
very different principles. The Slave 'I ra<!e
has now been totally abolished by this coun
try, and our Legislature has pronounced it
to be contrary to the principles of Jus’ice
and humanity. Whatever we might think
as individual* before, we could not, sitting
as Judges in a British Court of Justice, i«
garU the trade in that light while .out own
laws permitted it. But we can now assert,
that the trade cannot abstractedly speaking,
have a legitimate existence.
“ When 1 say abstractedly speaking, I
mean that this coHntry has no right to con.
trol any foreign Legislature that may think
fit to dissent troir this doctrine, and to per
mit to it* own subjects prosecution of this
trade; but we have now a right to uffirm
that /irima Jacic the trade is illegal, and
thus to throw on the claimants the burden
of proof that, in respect of them, by the au
thotity of their own lavVs, it is otherwise.
As the case now stands, we think we ate
intit led to say, that a claimant can have no
right upon principles of universal law. to
claim the restitution in a Pi ize Court of hu
man beings carried as Ids slaves. He must
shew some right that has been violated by
the capture, some property of which he has
been unpossessed, and to which he ought to
be restored. In tins case, the laws of the
claimant’s country allow of uo right of pro.
perty such as he claims. There can there,
fore be no right to restitu i»>n. The conse
quence is, that the judein tit must lie affirm *
ed.*'
We congratula*e the friends of the oppros- !
sed Africans on this important and nvu.* sa~ !
tisfactory judgment. It gives a death blow i
to the most active contraband dealers in Itu- t
man blood on the Coast of Africa, and re j
moves one of tiie greatest obstacles «o the .
effectual execution of our own laws lor tile
Abolition of the Slave Trade.
