Ignatius Francis Coyle, who was convicted on Wednes-
day of forging the name of Lord Clifden to a promissory
note fur 1,14de , with intent to defraud Capt. Alleyne, was
also brought up for judgment.
The prisoner begged the court to respite the judgment
until neat session, as be said he should be in a position to
bring forward evidence that would place the case in a very
different light, and would contradict in many essential par-
ticulars the statements that were made by the prosecutor.
Mr. Justice Cresswi II said that after the verdict of the
jury evidc lice of this kind could not be entertained by the
court, and therefore it would be perfectly useless to respite
the sentence on that ground. if he was in a position to
more what he hail stated, he must lay the matter before
the Secretary of State, wbo, if he thought fit to do so
woul.l recommend a remission or commutation of thi
Isentence.
The prisoner woo then called up for judgment, and the
leveed judge, addressing him, said that he had been con.
I tided of uttering a forged promissory note, and, after the
discuedon that had taken place upon the subject, he thought
it right to say that he at the time entirely concurred in the
verdict that had been delivered by the jury. It was a for-
gery to a considerable amount, hat certainly he did not
think it should be looked upon as an ordinary commercial
, instrument, and ha had no doubt that the prisoner never in-
, tended that the bill shouli be passed away, or that Lord
ICarlos should he held respauable upon it, but that he had
merely placed it in the bands of Captain Alleyne as
security toe the money he owed him, and that the transae-
ti partook more of the character of obtaining. credit by
I 'e pretences than the uttering of a forged Instrument
with intent to defraud. It appeared also to be perfectly
el. ar that the note had been siren in the course of transac-
tions which he could not without sorrow see persons in the ,
',cation of the Messrs. Alleyne concerned in. He should
abstain from making observations he perhaps otherwise
•Iluelit have done upon this subject, because some of these
matters would have to be inquired into in a court of justice,
but he could not help observing .hat the whole course of these
traii‘aetions was calculated to dull the moral sentiments of
all the Parties colinectcd with them, and that this to some
event uttered a palliation fur the conduct of the prisoner.
The learned judge concluded by stating that it appeared to
him the justice of the case would be satisfied by sentencing
, the pi i.oner to be coutined in Newgate fur 12 months.
