WIMBORNE FEITY SESSION&
FiaDAT.-13efore Liget.Colonel Paget.
The greater pert of the uses at this court were
*barges of trespass in marl* of game. The first
MID called on was one against a publican named
Gwyn, residing at Mertio, in the county of Wilta, the
complainant being Mr. Junes Huddle, fume, of Pent-
ridge —Mr. Moors appeared for the defendant. —James
Huddle stated I live at Pentridge. On the 15th
September from eformation I received on the previous
evening, I went to Pentridge hill and taw two men
there. One of them named William Flemington was at
the lad court convicted. I did not then known the
name of the other person, but have since learnt that it
Is the defendant, and I un sure he was the other men.
About three o'clock I went to watch, and lay partial')
bed under the gorse. About five o'clock defendant
come down pest where I was lying about three yards
from my head. He had a buket on his hack, and be
went round the corner of the gorse where there was
some wires, and disappeared from my sight. Soon after
be come bath, and looked at some wires plated closed
to whore I was, but did not touch any. I got out and
secured the other man, Fleanhigtoe, who was with him,
but defendant ran away carrying with him two baskets.
I left Flemington in charge of Newman, a man who
was with me, and rut after Gwyer, and got ep to within
30 yards of him. He then dropped both baskets, they
contained 42 wires and nine rahWta. It was jut clue
meowing day break, and I could see the dela:ids:a well
and em sure he was the 111111.—By Mr. Moore I know
that Germ was the man. From inquiries I
made I found out hia name, which at the time
I did not know. I know him by his height.
He was than dreamed in a short coat and
light trousers. Did you ever see the man before I
but I saw him that morning." This question was
repeated several times and the same reply given. I did
not see him pat down the term, or take any up, hut I
Mw him drop the basket containing the wires which I
took on. He was about seven or eight yards off IMO
when I talk hold a Flerningtoe. When the men first
rme Fk was about w about 27 yards off and :zri, who was farthest sway, about four yards, and
when they tome back Geyer was about eight yards off.
Colonel Paget intimated to Mr. Moore that as the com-
plainant bad positively sworn to Gwyer it did not
matter in what position the men were.—Mr. Moore, in
reply, said he had 4duty to perform to his client, and
he (the magistrate) d one aloe, and the time required
for the investigation of the cam was the time of the
• and therefore he should examine and cross.
examine the complainant as math as he liked, and no one
had any right to stop him. He then proceeded by &ek-
ing complainant whether the two men could see him
when be was hid among the gorse, to which Mr.
Huddle replied that he could not say. Ile crept under
the gorse jut a• a rabbit wotild.—For the defence Mr.
Moore contended that not any evidence had been given
as required by Act of Parliament. No proof had been
givm that the wins were set by his client or any one
else.—(Mr. Itawlenee : It was sworn to by Mr. Huddle's
man at the last court day that be taw Flemington set
the wires the previous evening). —Mr. Moore: Well,
there is no proof that my client either set them or took
them up, or that he was with Flemagtott. There taco
evidence given that the men seen had sticks or guns.
em! I therefore submit there is no um, but even
admitting that Flemington and another man
were there, I go a step further and say that
the statement of the complainant that the other man
was the Jefendaut is false, and I have a witneu to prove
that he was not there. Turning to complainant Mr.
Moore, in a vehement manger, said: "I am surprised
that a respectable man like you should some Into this
court and swear to such a statement. You ought to be
Indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury." Ile was
in; in other personal and offensive remks to
= remark,
when he was reminded that hie observations
ought to be addressed to the magistrate, who at the
sem, time told him that those remarks were most
unjustifiable, but he justified himself by stating that in
no court, he believed, was there such gross perjury
committed as there, and his experience was that not
anywhere else was there so much encouragement given
to commit it, an observation which seemed to take the
Bench by suiprise. He then called as witness for the
defendant George Flemington, who stated tint he lived
at Marti°. Wilts, and wee a labourer. At the last court
I was convicted of setting wires for rabbits, on property
belonging to Mr. Huddle, but I wee not guilty. The
defendant is net the ,:.an who was with me on that
occasion.— Mr. Rawlins, on behalf of the court, asked
on what day he was there—Witness: I was not there
two dam I was only there on the morning of the 15th.
I did not set any wires, nor do I know who set them.
went to pick a few mushrooms. I did not gee any
wires at &IL I was not in compeny with anyone. I
saw a man on the down, but I did not know who he
was. I was four or five yards off him. I did not ask or
know what he was there for. I spoke to hini and said
Good morning," but before he could answer Mr.
Middle came out of the gorse. Most of the mushrooms
grow on the open down. Mr. }toddle asked me who the
man was. I told him I did not know. I weld not see
the men's countenance. Ho did not have any basket'.
I know it was not the defendant as he was not SO tall.
I know defendant very well; be lives in the samo village
as I do, and keeps the White liars Inn. —ll7 the magi.,
irate : I left Martin about five o'clock, and the distance
to the down is about throe-quarts rs of • mile. I went
alona—The charge was ooneidered to be proved,and
&fondant ordered to pay 44. h. flue and 14s. costs, and in
giving this deci.ion, Col. Paget said he considered the
attack on Mr. Huddle most uncalled fur, and he I, ft the
Court without the slightest imputation on his &erector
and credibility.

and on searching John he found a wire net, and Edward
bad one in his hand. They said it was no odds to him
as it was not on his ground they were trespassing. On
