Ikat anything was actually done by the prisoners now
before the court, that the whole of the proof of their being

who had not been corroborated, aid that the jury had
recommended them to mercy.
The court decided that there wee ea foundation ler a new
trial. There was no rule of law whisk prevented the case
being left to the jury as It was, they having been abundantly
endued as to the mature of the evidence.
The AttornepOsneral (with whoa were Mr. Roger.,
Q.C., sod Mr. Crowder, CI.C.), in aggruation, urged that,
leaking at the Wines, ad the nature of the punishment
whisk the court were required to inflict, it was nut a case to
all for any leniency. The indictment was founded on •
Matsui which enacted that, with a view to prevent smut-
ing
an assault on officers of WI revenue in the execution of
their alike, was punishable with transportation for seven
years, or imprisonment not exceeding three yeah. Here
the prosecutor had suffered so much from the injuries he had
?stetted, had been so much dhabled, as to render it neon-
eery to superannuate him, and he wee entitled to claim the
protection of the court.
Mr. Justice Coleridge, in among sentence, after napht-
has' the facts, said that it had been suggested that there
had been no premeditation on the part of th 9 prisoners, but
if that were so he did not know what was meant by prase-
dilation. Here the prisoners wen engaged in
haling on other persona with the deliberate pur-
pose of overpowering all resistance and carrying
their smuggled goods en abort, and although he
was glad to find tat they did sot carry out their threat of
briefing WI. and swords with them, it was almost nausea.
say that they should do so, for there were on the spot the
stones of which the cargo was composed, as meane of
chid almost almost nasal to guns. The court could, therefore, only
judge of what they intended to do by looking to the einem•
Mesas at the tin's. It was said that no particular violence
had been ehowa to have been dons by the four present pri-
mers. It might be true, bat at the same time the want of
proof ins that earn might have arisen from the
darkness of the night, at even from the violate
which was committed against the prosecutors, which
had talcs away from them all power of observation
as to particular penes,. It wee, however, not necessary to
bring home to persons ;Kravitz arts of violence when they
were associated with others to break the law, and to do viu,
lace to thin, who were protecting the safoneatent of the
law, but each must be responsible for what any ono amongst
them might do. It was also urged that what was done may
have been provoked by the violent radon and threats of
the officers teensuives. Bat he sew nothing violent is their
conduct, considering that they were in collision with man
using such tangoes' and acting is the manner which
characterised the prisoners and their amociates and
when overwhelming ambers were brought ;past
them all they had mourn to wits ia 'elf-
defence, and even if in thus carrying oat their duty they
did use strong language, they could not be said to be guilty
of any excess. He wanted the prisoners and their friends,
if then were any of them pet sent, to understand that the
court considered it • very serious case as regarded them, and
le wished the ponces wham the court was called on to du
land also to understand that when violence was done to them
the court would give them an assurance that they were
watchful over their safety, by inflicting strong punishment on
the offender'. The sentence upon each of them was,
that they should be imprisoned in the House of
Correction for the county of Southampton for eigh-
teen months, with hard labour. With regard to
Muggeridge, as he understood that he was undergoing a
sentence of nitre mouths' imprisonment, on a conviction for
smuggling, the period of his aserimement under the protest
sentence would •011iabellal on lbtk August nest.

Mr. Foulkes applied to the court in support of an adjudi-
cation on a petition by an attorney. The petition was unat-
tested; and the learned gentleman contended that when
the petitioning creditor was himself an attorney this was
umecessary. In support of this view, he cited a number of
eases from • very early date, and also argued that the attesta-
tion was not an essential part of the petition in say oats. It
was discretionary in the court either to receive or reject the
petitioa—the attestation, though a part of the form, not being
of the essence of the form.
Hie Honour said it was important to consider what had
been the practice of the court with regard to date, and to
=the muse soars* with petitions. It bad generally
held that a solicitor amid not eat in two characters—
= solicitor and rapes ; the same rule would apply against
his acting as pentioaing creditor sad solicitor. On reason
sad principle it was not right that he should do
so ; nor was it desirable the court should exercise •
discretka on a petition which had not beta exercised with
regard to fats. He Natured that the attestation was no
part of the petitice, say more thsa of • deed; but when an
act went se far as to lay dews a loam, it weld net be said
that say pert of the form might be emitted. Courts might
diuense with attatatione in arta& iastamma, as in asses
where it appeared on the fees ef the issteament that the
party was • solicitor. This did ast appear oa the fete of
the petition in specks; as the est had peesmibed a certain
• teem, it auks to be adhered to, cad he scald not, la the
ozonise of his &sonnies, sanaka any departure from it.
In this case, the informality baring been discovered,

petitios had been parented tram a different party ; but he
should not, on amionat of this infamelity, refuse the adja-
dicatioa to the party originally
Mr. Fealkes asked to be snowed to withdraw the peti-
t= from the oats to get back the stamp-duty (101.)
His nectar did sot think this mid be dons, till • ids
was made on the subject.
