The Defendants being now placed on t"g fluor of the
Court, Mr. vi'..•Leosto moved for judgment.
Some aMdavits were put in on the part of the Mkfaidaots
and read; and
Mr. GURNEY and Mr. CURNIN were heard in wititigite4oo
of punishment.
Mr. Justice BATLEY, in passing the sentence of the
Court, lamented that a person who had borne so good •
character as the Defendant Parke, fur so lung a period,
ebould he placed in a situation to receive the judgment of
the Court. After some suitable observations on the nature
of the offence of which they had been convicted, his Lord.
skip said, in consequence of the eremitic' of Sir Thomas
Champneys having bees given up, the Court forbore to
make fine a part of their punishment; but as it was incum-
bent on the Court to protect the interests of those who were
not wise enough to protect themselves, the sentence of the
Court visa, that the Defendants should be imprisoned I. the
custody of the Keeper of the House of Correction, Cold-
belle fields, fur the period of four calendar months.
LORD SONDES V. FLETCHU, CLERK.
The SOLICITOR Ga 1111.11.1. moved to eel aside the writ of
inquiry executed in this case. Lordtleades, who was in pos-
session of an advowson, inducted the Defendant, taking Iv•
boud fur 12,0001. auditioning that the Defendant should
give up the living wises his Lordship should request 11.
Some years after Lord Sondes wishing to iodises his younger
brother, Mr. Watson, called upon the Defendant to give up
Abe living, which, on his refusing to do, proceedings were
commenced on the boad,and the Jury assessed the damages
at 10,0001. The Learned Counsel now moved to set aside
the writ of inquiry, on the ground that tie Jury, in esti-
mating the damages, had proceeded on a fallacious priori.
plei—they had computed the damages from a calculation of
value of the life isterest of Mr. Watson, who was oily
24 yearn of age, instead of computing them according to the
value of the Defeo/In/Ws life interest, who was 46 years
of age.
The COIIIIT was sot satisfied that the Jury had proceeded
on a WOK principle, when the Defendant, by keeping pos.
session of Ilia living, awned that to hien she value was 34
they had found, foe if it were over-valued, be might rein se
himself at any time by giving it up.
