Tne Attorney General, Mr. Temple, and Mr. lincidleston
conducted the prorogation ; Mr. Edwin Jesus and Mr.
Hawkins represented the defendant.

This was an indictment preferred against Ignatius Feuds
Coyle by Alexander M Geschy Align', formerly an officer
in the army, for perjury alleged to have been conifeltted by
the defendant, who was a material witness in a permeation
institsted by Cartels Robert Blair Kennedy against the
present prosecutor. his brother, James Holder AlWylie, and
Thomas Hopping Buchanan D'Arcy, since deceased, who
had both likewise held commissions in her Alsj.sty'a service,for a conspiracy to defraud him of the sum of 7,3001. The
charge sgainat the Aflame was that Mr. James Holder
Alleyne had made a bet of 7,3001. with Captain Kennedy,
that an American mare, known in America as " Fanny
Jenks," but by him called Pigeon, would trot a certain
number of miles in a given time, and that the mare having
become lame and totally unable to trot the match, the pro-
w/motor was induced by the false representation of Mr.
Alexander hPoeathy Alleyne, at the instance of hie brother,
to pay over to the latter the total amount of the wager in
4stestion. The Alleynes and D'Arcy were tried before
Lord Campbell and • special jury of Middlesex, on
the Ist and 2nd of December, 1851, and were
ell fund guilty. They were immediately sentenced,
James Holder Alleys* to two years, Alexander M'Oeachy
Alleyne to air months, and D'Arcy to one year's imprison-
ment in the House of Correction. The Alleyne* brought a
writ of error to set aside the sentence, and there being no
joinder the writ of error was allowed. That, however, was
subsequently set aside on the ground of collusion. They had
also indicted Captain Kennedy, Mr. Newton, his attorney,
and Coyle, for a conspiracy to defraud them of 6,6004, and
bad indicted Coyle separately fur perjury. Tani wan the pre-
sent indictment—the others were abandoned. The perjury
assigned was that Coyle had sworn on the trial of the Alleyne
and D'Arcy that he was present at a conversation between Js.
Holder Alleyne and his brother Alexander, at the Plough
Hotel, Cheltenham, on the 29:h of Nov.. 1646, when the
former said toe mare was lame, and said to his brother,
" You must go to Hull and see Kennedy ;" whereas it was
alleged that Alexander McGeachy Alleyne was not in Chel-
tenham at the period in question. The defendant pleaded
not guiity.
The AttornerG 1 having stated the case for the pro-
secution, called the following evideoce :
Alexander hlcOmehy Alkyls° examined by Mr. Huddle.
iton—l am the prosecutor of this indictment. I was cap-
tain in the 7th Dragoon Guards. 1 exchanged into the
89M Regiment, and went to Canada early in 1844. I re-
turned to this country in 1846. 1 went to Cheltenham on
the let of November. My mother Wei residing there.
Holler was there occasionally. Hs lived in lodgings
there. He kept hunters there. On the 16th of November
I went to Newport Pagn.ll races. I there met D'Arey: he
was an officer of the 89th Regiment, which was then (pat-
tered at Hull. Kennedy was in the same regiment.
returned to Cheltenham from Newport Pagnell on the 21st
of November, and remained there till the 27th with my
mother. On the 27th I went to Bath, to see Mr. Caldicott
an old friend of our family. He got me my commission. I
remained at Mr. Caldieott's, 6, Laura-place, Bath, until
the 3rd of December. I stayed at hie house from the 27th of
November till the 3rd of December. 1 did not leave Bath
all that time. On the 3rd 1 returned to Cheltenham. I
dig not see Coyle during that time. I did not know him
up to that time. To the beet of my recollection. I first met
him at Leamington meet in 1847. On the 6th Dec. 1 went to
Hull and strived in time for messa I went in consequence
of a note I received from D'Arcy, being an invitation from
Kennedy, with whom I was on terms of the greatest in-
timacy. We were at Sandhurst together, and were in the
same regiment, and in Canada together. When I mat
down to Hull I had heard of the bet which my brother had
made with Kennedy. It was on the 26th of October, 1846,
when I arrived from Canada. My brother called at my
lodgings, 14, Sr. James's-place, and told me of the bet. He
paid he had purchased • mare in America called " Fanny
Jenks." I had seen the mare at Cheltenham before I went to
Hull. When I was at Hull, Kennedy came int my roomwhilo
I was dressing, and mentioned the bet which he had made
with my brother, and asked me my op nion about it. I
toll him I thought it was an ma-Naively injudicious bet,
end that the amount was too great for either of them to
lose—that it looked as if they wanted to ruin one another.
At this he laughed and Rind the amount was nothing com-
pared with what he had been accustomed to bet lately, for
on the St. Leger, which was run in September previous, he
had won 4,0001., nearly two of it from the Hon. Captain
Saville, of the Royal Artillery, for which he had got into a
great row, having been reprimanded by the Commander-in-
Chief. I then told him nevertheless the amount was too great
for him to risk,and solemnly advised him to reduce the amount
of the wager, for he had bet so many 'hiltless in Canada
as he had lately bet pounds. I then told him, from what I
had heard from my brother, the mare wee a most dangerous
animal for him to stand to lose so much no ; for he had told
me she had in America trotted 101 miles in 9 hours 29
minutea and 29 seconds; and I told him that a mare which
could do that would be very likely to trot 17 miles in an
hour ; that I myself had seen her trot early in November,
end that she had performed to my perfect satisfaction. I
again strongly advised him to reduce the amount of the
wager. He then said he thought it was all a parcel of
American lies, and that eves if the mare could perform the
match, he was perfectly confident that my brother, Holder
Alleyne, could not drive her to make her do it. " How-
ever," he said, " I'll think over what you say." There the
conversation dropped. I had no other conversation with
Kennedy about the mare except that he occasionally joked
about her. This conversation did not take place at the sug-
gestion of my brother. I had no interest directly or indirectly
in that mare or match. I first heard that Kennedy had
',sift the money about the 30th of December or the begin-
ning of January. A sum of 5001. was subsequently given
me by my brother. My brother, after he had won this
match, having a great deal of money, offered to give me and
my broth, r Joseph 6001. each, and I further asked him to
lead me 5001. to boy some hunters, which I promised to re-
pay him in a month or so. I repaid him in the April follow-
ing. I was not present at any conversation in which Holder
Alleyne communicated to Coyle the lameness of the mare.
I never was oresent at any conversation when Holder said
in Coyle's presence, " You must go to Hull and see Ken-
nedy." My brother said so to me. I
him say to Coyle that if the mare had not got lame, he
would have won more than Coyle did on the Derby cad
St. Leger. I never heard him say the mare, after trotting
on the Tewketbary.road, had come home dead lame, and if
she could not trot the match, he would go over :o Kennedy
and make the best compromise. After I knew Coyle, I lent
him several thousand pounds. On the 12th of August,
1849, I lent him 2001. That was the first transaction
I ever had with him. I took Coyle before the magistrates
for forgery about February, 1861. The charge was not pro-
ceeded with in consequence of the interestaton of his wife
and a letter which he wrote to me praying my forgiveness.
That letter was produced at the trial at the Old Bailey. An
indictment was afterwards preferred by me against Coyle at
the Central Criminal Court in consequence of rumours
which I traced as emanating from him. He was tried in
October and convicted.

Cross-examined by Mr. Edwin Jima—Before I preferred
this indi"tatent against Coyle I bad been indicted for cheat-
ing Mr. Kennedy of 7,300. I knew that Coyle's 1111114 was
en the hack of the indictment against ate when I indicted
him. Coyle appeared at the police court two or three times.
I know he did more than once.

Mr. James—The bill on the indictment against the two
Alleynes was found in May.
Cross-examination eentinued—The Indictment against
Coyle for forgery was found in July, I think. My brother
told me that the American mare wee called Fanny Jenks.
It was the same mare as the mare at Cheltenham. Illy
brother calied her Pigeon, and I sometimes did. On m
oath, I knew nothing of the match with Kennedy, for I
was in America at the time. When I went to Hull nay
brother told me the mare was slightly lame. I was
in a gig with my brother on the Tewkesbury•road When
the mar* performed to my satisfaction, it was between the
Ist of November and the 18th. When I went to Bath on
the 27th, I went with the knowlege that the more war
slightly lame. My brother told me that between the 21st and
the 27th. I was nearly aboy lathe time. I was only 21. I
know that my brother lent D'Arey 1,0001, and
that my brother Joseph was given 5001. It was in
consequence of having been paid the money that we
received these some. I cannot swear it was out of
the money he had won. After be won the match he
promised to give me 6001., and I unfortunately accepted it.
I went vs Bath on the 27th. I left Cheltenham about two
o'clock, and arrived at Bath in time for dinner. I was tried
and convicted on an indictment before Lord Campbtll and
a special jury in 1851. I was not in court during the trial.
I took the advice of those who were capable of advising me,
and went away. I did not hear any of the evidence
at that trial. I went to Calais. My brother
met me there the next day. On my return is December I
paid Kennedy 1,500/. to compromise a Chancery suit against
the Patent Cooperage Company, in which I had a large in-
terest. Kennedy took the Chancery proceedings that he
might have, if I may nee the term, a parches' over us. My
mother gave me the money. I went before the grand jury
on the 3rd of April, 1854. I did not swear in set terms that
Kennedy and Newton had conspired to obtain the 1,5001.
to compromise the indiement. I swore that these pencils
were conspiring to force me into the payment of 5,5001 Idy
brother paid 4,0001. I paid 1,5001. I preferred the bill
of indictment against Captain Kennedy after he
had gone to India. It fell to the ground because Kennedy
did not surrender. I indicted Kennedy, Coyle, and New•
ton, for conspiracy, and preferred a separate indictment
again.- Newton. I never gave any instructions that the
indictment aglitist Kennedy and Newton should be aban-
doned. My professional man told me it would have been
impossible to convict Newton in Kennedy's absence. I
have been ahroad since the rale was argued. I came over
here to surrender, and to give evidence against Coyle; and
so did my brother. I came from 12, Abingdon-place this
mornicg on purpose to surrender.
The officer why holds the warrants against this witness
and his brother here stepped forward. They bad
not be, o ex-rated'. I may have said in the con-
versation with Kennedy, which war takes down by the
short band writer, that I taw Coyle in Cheltenham in 1848
or 1549. To the beet of my recollection I did not say that
my brother had then given him a cheque for 375/. I said it
was at Holder's lodgings the. he gave Coyle the cheque,
dated November 30, 1816. I said to Kennedy that Holder
gave Coyle& cheque at his own lodgings. I stated exactly

Oat my brother bad slid. I swear I once mid 'o Ken
'may I was present when a cheque passed from my brother
to Mr. CIO.. I till ant sly to Kennedy I went nut of the
roils Defoe the toaversavna took oleo'. 1 have Ind the
transcript of the o,,,rthand writer's notes of my es tion
with Keanady. (The transcript was here har.ded to the wit-
ness). I placed a shorthand 'writer to take dt wn ths c 'ovens-

'hewn, Kr needy and =pelf. I stated I might have seen
at Cheltenham in 1847. I Welt it was in 1848 oe
I stated to lieatiedy 1 had not men Coyle at Clienta-
l= in 1846, and I did 'not. Ia addition to the 6001. gift
sad the 5001. loan, a further nun of 2,8601. was transferred
by my brother to my account at Cox and Greenwood's. Out
of that 2.850'. I transferred 1,6,501. to the subset of my
litotner Joseph. This was et the request of my brother
Holder. That left 1,2001. I kept the 1 0001 for myself,
46 flOnl. sift, and tee 6001. lose. I paid the cotter 200 fto
D'Arey, buns, my brother owed it to him. Up to 1861 I
101 a very realm and foolish life, and I am sincerely sorry
fee it. 1 regret having received the 600/. ;it was the wont
6001 I ever received. I never invited any young man down
is Cheltenham " to do plant."
Mr lame—Read that note.
Witurn—That note has been surreptitiously obtathed,
and is brought up sgaiost me on all occasions. The ea-
pereaes you refer to is a joking message from an officer to
Mr. Theobsld. Ido not wish to be the father of the joke.
(The vitaee beer became sub affected, and shed tears.)
3s-examined by the Attorney-General—l came here to
ginevideami, kaowiog I must surrender. I saw no oMcer.
I had the poversation with Keened, at which the short-
load writer was preset on the 20th of April, 1863. I
pissed a short-hand writer in a place where he salad
take estee of the coanrsa•ion. Kennedy raid Newton had
lailated Coyle to come forward and give evidence against
soy seas mourn my brother and myself into the payment
.1 dm 7.3001. His eigimnioli was, "Newton took him in
hand and kept him up to the mark." He strongly advised
me to pruseeste him, but be said that Coyle having ren-
dered him seseatial service as a witness, it would not de for
him to tun resod and give evidence against his own wit-
tiest. He told me that the evidence riven by Coyle to Mr.
humus before the trial was altered to as to include me
in a guilty participation. He first stated he bad a oonverea-
lima with my brother at Cheltenham, at which I wee not
paalliat, but that in consequence of his having irmaired a
Crof 6001. in the event of his evidence segnieffiagese
ia
muds the charge I speak of. He further mid that
alba badges's Mr. Coyle was 501. or 601., whisk he had
pddl tells wife when he we is Nene'. I premed Ma-

=se er bill for 6001. was placed in the hands of Mr.
Taylor, Mr. Newton's brother, to be paid awe to
Coyle if he ascended in convicting me, bat that
Is consequence of Mr. Newt= having got that tilmpe
frem Mr. Mark Taylor, Coyle only got 501. eg 01.
Oa the 24th or 25th my brother told me the new was
Nightly lame. On the 27th he said the mare woe a little
better—that he thrught nothing of it—that be thought she
would be gaits right in a few daya When I bad the eoe-
venal°. with Keamody at Hall, I bad not the most remote
ilea that the mare could not run. Coyle owed me large
same—he gave me an acceptance of 1,1501. of Lord Clines's.
It was a forgery—he gave me a memorandum confessing it,
and tee confession was used against him at the trial.
Os the witness leaving the box, the officer informed him
lee had a warrant for his arrest.
Mr. Allayee—Vary well—allow ma to remain here.
James Holder Minnie, 'Remained by Mr. Temple—l am
the elder brother of the last witness. I was the owner of •
slue in 1846. I made a bet with Captain Kennedy I. that
=in My brother and I west to Cheltenham either in
ror is November, I can't say which. I recollect his
leerier Cheltenham for ath. At that time I owed Mr.
Coyle 3751. He came down to Cheltenham, and I saw him
wa
the subject. I did not go to the Plough Hotel at all. I
saw him at my lodging', 13, Rodsertereem. He called at
my lodgings on the morning of the 30th November. I
was goiag oat hunting. On that occasion 1 mare him the
shwas fee 3751., dated the 30th of November. 1 don't think
ha wee the room three minutes altogether. He said be
was going to London that day to settle at Tattersail's. That
was the °sly oonnreation I bad with him. My brother,
M'Osachy, was not present during that interview. My
brother bad gone to Bath &twine the 24 b sod the time
my brother went to Bath I told him the trainer bad said
the mare was a little amiss. I told him Mr. Briar had sun
bee, and had said be thought she was aff-eted with a Lei-
oath- disease; but I and my Heiser did not think there
was anything seriously to alarm me. I drove her to Glee-
eater on the 29th of November. The distance is eight or
aims miles.
Cron-examined by Mr. Hawkins—To the best of my
belief the mare first showed symptoms of lemenees en the
23c4. I had driven her to Tewkesbury and beck. Towhee-
bury is eight or nine miles distant. M'Gsachy did not
accompany me to Tewkesbury. Beek, my gro,ni and trainer,
list told me the was lame on the morning of the 24th.
Beek gave evidence on my trial. Mr. Briar was called in
es the 24th, the moment I found anything was the matter
with the mere. He examined her; and said be thought
she had a slight attack of lavienlar disease. That is per
• incurable. I cannot say where M'Cleachy was on
that day. I can't swear he was not present when Briar said
so; but I don't think be was. I presume I must have seen
my brother ea the 24th, or the next day. He was in Chel-
tenham at the time. Most likely I told him the mare was
lame wham first I saw him, for it was uppermost in
my miad. I cannot remember that Mr. Briar attended the
mare more than two days. I ean't say he did not, but I
deal remember. I will swear he was not in attendance on
that mare up to the 10th of December. He was wrong
when he stated that at the trial. He attended another
mare in another stable. The mare's leg was rubbed with
an embrocation, the first day by Mr. Briar's advice, much
ant the wish of my trainer. Her toot was poultieed by
the advice of my trainer, and against Mr. Briar's. I cannot
my bow nag the foot was poultieed. It was more than
wee. Oa the 15th of January I left Chelten-
ham, and having no use for her I threw her
by at Mr. Gutteridge's /Wiles. I will swear when
111114 she went to Mr. Gutteridge's there was no-
thing the setter. I saw M'Oeachy after his return from
Hell. I think it was sot after his return, but I,.ng before,
I wrote to Kr. Kennedy, requesting him to have his money
reedy. I have the copy of the letter hire. The date is the
12th ofTherather. I wrote en answer to a letter I had re-
solved from Mr. Kennedy. Must likely I saw my brother
before I wrote that letter of the 12th. 1 won't swear to it.
It is wry possible M'Geeehy never rode behind the mare
with me. He had sew her trot. Redid not see her when
I drove to Tewkesbney. It was in the evening. I bought
her in America, under the name of " Fanny Jenks." I be-
lien she wee known as a trotting mare in America. I
don't know her name was ever changed to Pigeon.
I milled her " Pim. ;" it was a pet ram. for her; other
penis called her 'Fanny Jenas. ' Mr. Kennedy knew
wry well she was the same mare. Before the first bet was
made I talked of her to Mr. Kennedy as the Americus
man. I spoke of her as " Fanny Jenks"
Mr. Hawkins—Dtd you not say at the Old Bailey, "I did
ate tell him anything about her before I mule the bet; I
resat such a fool ?"

Witness—That was th. wood bet. Them were two
bete. Oa my oath, I told him that " Pigtail" was " Fanny
Joel's," the Grit Mated American mare. I will not swear I
did not my I intended to make use of bar as a Pigeon. I
seat my that I said so. Mr. Kenaidy made use of that
ea • is a letter to me
he Attoreey.Geseral said this wee most unfair. This pa.
domes had never said so at the Old Bailey He had said
Yr. Keasody had said as and so he had, and Mr. Hawkins
well kaew he h.d not. Ouch madam was most scandalous.
Lord Campbell observed he felt bound to interfere. As
Wag sib. had pre►ided over a court ofjostioe he had been
struck with ttoi courtesy which one member of the bar
winced towards another, sod be hoped that this rule, now
that certain practices had aspired, would not be departed
bow.

01itsitas—I believe I sever did my so, but I know Mr.
Kennedy did. I met Mr. Iltssisdy on the pimp from
Liverpool to Halifax. He was about three years younger
than I am, and tea years older in the woos of the world.
I won soma three or four hundred pound" from him in
America. He left America before I did. I met him again
genic to the Derby in 1846 He bad • mars named
Castuiet. I had a bet of 8001. about that mare.
It did sot tome r.B. Ha compromised it. I be
have she was Isms at the time. Mr. Kllllllllld7
paid the 7,3001. to my *must. I think shout '
the 28th of December. I gaps my brother MO
3,11601 to Mt • with bim and my brother Joseph, sad to
Mad D'Arey 1,0001. That was otter 1 was paid the mossy.
I swear I sever seemimd to give 1143ractly 600/. if I won
this bet. I have Coyle alma 1848. There was •

make • bet is what I call in a latter " nailing acistebodT."
I was tried and convicted is this court is 1851 of cheating

Aligns cgs rest Coyle, and a showery suit to
restrain Aligns from proceeding et law. Coyle
promised to non ma at Mr. Steele s, his attorney. Oa
Monday I met him there. We had a conversation. I
asked nun bow he rime to mix himself up with Captain
Kennedy, Mr. Newton, and his brother, Mr. Taylor. His
said he never should have done so, but he was under weal.
cry obiigatioss to Mr. Taylor, the brother of Mr Newton,
Kennedy's solicitor, and that Kennedy and Newton, and
Taylor, were almost daily annoying him, or that he n
should have gime to the Old Bailey to give evident* against
the Allspice. I asked him what he expected to get from it.
He said 5001. had bees put into Mr. Taylor's bands for him
to receive part of the money that would be got from the
Alleynes, bat he neves did get ; it was taken away from
Mr. Taylor, with the undentanding that he should
get another of the mme amount for it. Coyle said if he
was to call et Mr. Newton's officio, he understood there was
1001. waiting for him, but he certainly would not accept it.
His espressien was " I'll see them before I do so."
Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—At this very time I
am in the employment of Mr. Charles Lewis, No 1, Albany-
wart, Piccadilly. I serve writs, sad I get bills discounted
by him.
Mr. Hawkins—Oh, you are a bill discounter then?
Witness—No; lam an agent. For inflows, if yen gave
me your bill, I would take it to Mr. Lewis, and ask him if
be would discount it.

Mr. Hawkins—Yea ; but I wouldn't trust you with one
of mine, you know. (Laughter.)
Coyle 's schedule in the Insolent Debtors Court was
thee put in. It was dated August 14, 1854, and contained
amongst the metrics the following : Mr. Mark Taylor, gen-
tleman. Buckloghism-etrut, &read, 4,1601., admitted uto
6401., the consideration being money lent.
This closed the cue for the prosecution.
Mr Edwin Junes then addressed the jury in • power-
ful speech for the defeadant, bet did sot all any evident*.
Lerd Campbell, is summing up, raid, if the jury gave
credit to the evidence they had heard, it would be for them
to say whether the charge was not completely established.
No doubt, some of the avid's°, was of • suspicious charac-
ter ; other parts seemed to be free from suspielon; but, on
the whole, they would have to determine is to the guilt or
innocence of the defendant. He would first draw attention
to the indictment against the two AUsynee and D'Arcy for
a conspiracy in attemptiag, by man, of a bet, to obtain,
the sum of 7,3001. from a Mr. Kennedy, an anther in the
army, they knowing at the time that the mere had fallen
lame and was incapable of running. The iadietment bed
been tried in December, 1851, and a verdict of guilty was
returned against those three defendants. The pre-
sent defendant was a witness ea that occasion.
And it was on sesoust of the evidence he then gave that the
present indictment for perjury was preferred ; and it was for
the jury to say, upon the evidence they bed heard, whether
the defendant Coyle bad upon the former ocess,on com-
mitted wiltal and unapt perjury. They were aware that
the materiel charge was, that he stated on that trial in De-
cember, 1848, that he was present at a eoavereation at Chel-
tenham when the ahem was laid for defrauding Mr.
Kennedy. It we. sow alleged against Coyle, that that
statemeat was entirely false; that there wee, in fact, no
such interview. His lordship then reed over the whole of
the evidence, and stated that he thought they must look
with considerable suspicion upon the evidence of Holder
Alleyne, who had bees convicted of • conspiracy ; hut still
be might be sow speaking the truth, and he was corrobo-
rated by M'Gsecby AUeyne, and particularly by Mr. Calciti-
c/At, whe appeared to him to be • witness beyond suspicion,
• respectable men, against whom there was ne imputation.
If they could place: credit on Oil's, it wu a mos! important
corroboration. but it was for them to say whether he could
be satisfactorily relied upon. No doubt the Alleynse could
rat swaps censure, but against Mr. Caldecott there was no
imputation. The case was now before them. Was the
charge against the defendant made out to their satisfaction
If it was, they would find him guilty. If they had any
reasonable doubt, the defendant wee entitled to the benefit
of that doubt.

Lord Campbell—Yon eannot now be heard.

The jury then retired.
The Attorney General hogged to may a word. Hb lord-
ship seemed to be under an impression that he had addressed
himself hostilely to Mr. Hawkins. The truth wee he was
giving his friend fait notice that if he persevered in a cer-
tain count, he should be obliged—
Lord Campbell—l most say it seemed to me you had de-
parted from your usual courteous demeanour, which has
been a worthy example to the bar. That the counsel on the
other side were doing that which they knew was wrong I
thought so then, end I think so now.
The Attorney-General begged his lordship's pardon. He
was saying that if his friends persevered in their present
course he should be under the necessity of adopting a

Lord Campbell—No, no. You said, both to Mr. James
and Mr. Hawkins, that they were puvizig questions they
knew to be wrong, which I thought very offensive.
The Attorney General—lt had no reference to the
question.
Lord Campbell—You said they knew it.
The Attorney-0,60W said—lndeed be did not. It was
a totally different part the examination.
Lord Campbell—l thought and think the observation did
require my interference.
The jury now returned, and gave a verdict of guilt .
Lord Campbell—Let the defendant stand on the floor for
sentence. I am ready to hear you now if you have anything
to ay.
The defendant stood forward, and said that the rail from
Cheltenham to Beth had been open during the year is
question, sad a person Gould go backwards and forwards in
a few howl.

Lord Campbell then proceeded to peas *esteems After
a very long and patient trial you have been eenviirad by a
jury of the crime of wilful and corrupt perjury; and I must
say, although sane of the *riders, was very suspicions,
that there wee 'Sees and trustworthy evidence upon
which, I think, the jury were perfectly justified in cooling
to that coasbution. It is a crime of the deepest hue, and
vuo must sufer a severe punishment. You must be well
aware of the enormity of your offence, sad it is unneoessary
for me to sake say observations upon it. The sentence of
the court is, that you be isprisooed for two years in the
Hose of Correction for the county of Middlesex.
The defendant was this removed in the custody of the
tip•thfr or the suet.
The 11.sera Slleyne are still in custody under the sates*
for roespireo, to defraud Captain Kennedy, of which they
were Soma guilty. Ni. newer is vested in Lord Campbell
