broker, named Healing, eame before the Court of gueen'S'
Bench on Wednesday. Some time ago, Healing •Was)
summoned befoie the magistrates under the 'l4th section
of the Pawnbrokers' Act,- for refusing: to restore a watch ,
whieh had been,pAwned with him by, the .respondent, on
the amount advanced being tendered to him.. Upon the
hearing of the summons the appellant • proved that his
house had been broken into, and the .Watch feloniously,
taken fromlis strong room...He had 'carefully lociteclup„
his house, but then no one slept in the houses and jthiere
was no one to watch the premises. ' T'he'magistrateheld.
that not having any one during the night in a house,
which tont:tined so much valuable Ivoperty, amounted
to gross negligence, and therefore made,,an order, under
the 24th section of the act, that the paWnbrelter shOnld
liana over the valise of the article stolent-Mr. Aspinall
appeared in support of the appeal, and 'argued, on.tikei.

I. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

•
THURSDAY, Nov. 10.
SALE Or COMMISSIONS.—THE QUEEN V. MAR-
SHALL AND OTHERS.—In this case, Thomas Robert
Marshall, Edward Henry Mortimer, and Henry
Septimus Eicke had been charged with a misde-
meanour in receiving money in respect of the sale
of a commission in the army, and for keeping open
an office for the sale of such commissions, con-
trary to the provisions of the statute 49th George
111, cap.. 126, entitled "'An Act for the further
Prevention of the Sale and Brokerage of Offices."
The defendants Mortimer and Melte pleaded '
" Guilty," but Ihe defendant Marshall pleaded
" Not guilty," and was tried in.this court, before '
Lord Chief Justice Cockburn •on his lordship's
first taking his seat in this court, on the 27th
of June last and following day. •The jury found
the defendant guilty, but judgment was reserved
for the full court. The defendants were now
brought up for judgment.
Sir F. Kelly (with whom were Mr. Edwin
James, Q.C., and Mr. J. Clerk) prayed the judg-
ment of the Court.

Several affidaVita in mitigation of punishment
were then put in by the defendants,
.and read by
the officer of the court, all of_which denied that
the parties were aware that they were violating
the law in what they did. The. defendant Mar- ,
shall also endeavoured to clear - himself of the
imputation which had been cast upon him by the
,witness Pugh, who had introduced the business
-to the defendants, of having cheated him of his
share in the £4OO which the defendants had
received, but of which sum the defendant
Marshall had kept £2OO to himself. His ex-
planation was, that Pugh, who was his
traveller, was indebted to him to the extent
of £2OO, in re§pect of certain bad debts which he
had caused him to make ; and that having received '
the £2OO as Pugh's agent merely, and not any
part of. it on his own account, he had felt justified
in retaining the money in discharge of
,Pugh's
debt. He alSo stated that in consequence of the
-trial and conviction, he had lost' many of his
customers, and had incurred great expenses, and
that his creditors had brought him to the verge
•of bankruptcy. He also stated that he had
suffered great domestic affliction in the loss of his
eldest son by death, and-by the dangerous illness
.of another son; that his own health had suffered
severely, and 'that any imprisonuient would be
likely to prove injurious. to it.
Their lordships conferred together for a few
mOments, and,
Mr. JusticeVightinan, the senior puisne judge,
according to custom, 'then pronounced the sentence
of the court as follows :—Thomas Robert Mar-
shall, Edward Henry Mortimer, and Henry Sep-
timus Eicke) you have been indicted under the
provisions of an Act' of Parliament, the 49th
George 111., cap. 120,, entitled "An Act for the '
further Prevention of the- Sale and Brokerage of
Offices." To that indictment you, Marshall,
pleaded not guilty, but you were found guilty by
the verdict of a jury; , and you, Mortimer and
Eicke, pleaded guilty.. The, statute, in question
was passed in the year 1809, and the third section
makes it an offence to .buy or sell offices, and
the fourth notion makes it an offence to receive
or pay money in respect of--such sale. A great
variety of offences are enumerated in the _Act
,of
Parliament; and the indictment was expanded so
as to meet them. The counts substantially
charged that you received and took money under
pretence of soliciting and procuring a commission
in the army-:for a gentleman named Cunningham.
It is unnecessary to consider minutely -the part
which each of you took in that transaction, for
each of you took part in the scheme, by
which the sum of £4OO was obtained from
Mr. Bridson, under pretence of obtaining
for his brother-in-law a commission in the army.
Such proceedings are detrimental to the- public,
by inducing persons to part with their money,
in the belief that parties have influence which has
'no real existence, and which you knew had no
real existence, but whose money you obtained by
false pretences ; and they are detrimental to the
public service by the suspicions and distrust
which such transactions excite, that persons are
improperly appointed to public offices by those
with whom the appointment rests, when no real
ground of imputation ought to lie upon them,
and, as in this case, they had no knowledge what-
ever of your transactions. Had not a dispute
arisen .among you 'as to the division of the spoil,
it is probable that this system might have been
still pursued, to the great detriment of the
public interest ; but as soon as information was
given of it to the authorities at the War-office,
this prosecution was instituted. You have urged
several topics in mitigation Of your punishment,
one of which is urged by you all—viz., -that you
were in entire ignorance that you were infringing
the law in what you did.' It is, however, impos-
sible, for the Court to believe but that you must
have known that this was an improper act, cal-
culated to bring the public service into disrepute,
and that it was an evil in itself, as contra-
distinguished from that which is made evil by
Act of-Parliament. In such a case par ties
take care not to do that which, in point of morality
and conscience, is evil, lest it should turn out
.to
be against some express law which will subject
them to punishment. To obtain a commission in
the army ,by the influence of money is in itself
improper, andto obtain money by pretending to
have an influence which you had not is a fraud.
Therefore the Court can give no weight to the
argument that
.you were not aware of the exist-
ence of this Aet of Parliament. There were some
other topics wed in mitigation of punishment.
You, Marshall, have stated that you have suffered
much in your pecuniary affairs ; that 'you have
sustained great losses.; that your creditors have
come upon you, and brought you to the verge of
bankruptcy; and that you have, besides, suf-
fered great domestic affliction. For this„
the Court can do no more than express their
regret.' You, Mortimer and Eicke, have
pleaded guilty. , and expressed your contrition.
Taking all the circumstances into consideration,
the Court is disposed to pass a lighter sentence
than it would be disposed to do under other cir-
cumstances, in order to rqiess the crime. But
it must be understood that in any future case the
sentence will be a most severe one. The sentence
of the Court upon you, Marshall, is, that you be
imprisoned for six calendar months in the Queen's
Prison, and pay a fine, of -4;00, that being the
sum which you received, and that you be further
imprisoned till the fine be paid; and the sentence
upon each of you, Mortimer and Eicke, is, that
,you each be imprisoned in the Queen's Prison for
six calendar months, and pay a fine of £lOO,
being the amount which you each received, and
be further imprisoned till the fines be paid.
The defendants were then removed from court
.in custody. _
A report is current in fashionable circles in Paris
that the Duchess of Malakoff is in an interesting
situation.
