MR BOROUGH OF BOIMIN.

The following case, which was heard before Mr.
Kekewieh, at the County Court, Bodmin, on Wednesday,
August the dth, will serve to show how some things have
beau assuaged at eketiess is the borough of Bodmiu.

Ix ax Saar.
This was ax application for discharge, which was opposed
ty Mesas. Roper and Co., London, solicitors to Sir Samuel
Npry.
The facts of the case are as follows :—The applicant is
a shoemaker, and a voter residing in the borough of
Bodmln, end as he was well known to be a good assistant
In electioneering matters, he was employed in the year
11141, by the agent of Sir Samuel Spry, to canvass the
donors for that gentleman, who was then a candidate to
t tie free and independent electors of the borough
in parliament. At this time applicant was not a
mime. led be its services received the sum of 301. In 1843,
IM applisist% services basing been approved of in 1811,
he was Witt employed by Mr. Bender, Sir Samuel Spry's
agent to easvas the electors ; at this time be was a voter,
and on applying for the amount of his expense' was told
that they could not pay him in money as it would be con-
sidered bribery, but a note of hand was given him for 201.
It was not demanded until 1818, when an election took
place for the borough, and the applicant recorded his vote
for Messrs. Lacy and Wilde, and in opposition to his old em-
ployer, Sir Samuel. Shortly after this he was served with
a writ, at the suit of Sir Samuel Spry, for payment of the
201. The cam was to have been tried at the Bodmin Assises
in 1848; and the applicant iastruaed Mr. I'reston
Wallis, solicitor, of Bodmin, to defend the action ;
that gentleman acted on these instructions and
prepared tho defence, but a day or two before
the ease was to be heard ho requested to be supplied
with funds, which the applicant being unable to provide,
Mr. Wallin discontinued the action, and, no appearance
being made, a verdict was given for the plaintiffs. An ex-
ecution was then put into his house, and his goods were
taken, and a ea sa. was afterwards (issued) against his body,
his goods not being sufficient to meet the demand. The
warrant for the apprehension of his body, however, was not
enforced until within a few days previous to the election
for 1852, when he was arrested, and has been kept in cus-
tody since that period.
The opposition set forth that the applicant, not having
admitted his signature to the note of hand, they were put
to a considerable expense in bringing a witness from Lon-
don to prove his handwriting at the seises ; and that by
setting up a defence to it, and carrying it on until within a
day of the assize, they had been called upon to lay out a
large sum of money to carry on the case, the case being
frivolous and vexatious.
For the apn!ication, Mr. P. Wallis was sworn, and de-
posed that he received instructions to prepare the defence
which was only Copped for want of funds, and that a bore;'
fide defence would have been made if the funds could have
been procured to have carried it on
His Honour, in giving judgment, said no defence was
offered at the proper time; the pleas had been put on the
record, and had not been proved, by which expenses to the
amount of 701. had been incurred ; the judgment of the
court therefore was, that he was discharged on account of
all the other creditors after five months' imprisonment, at
the suit of the detaining creditor.
