From the evidence of the Prosecutor, Stephen
Bowles, it appeared that Brown was his neigh.
hour, and asked witness to lend hint the money
on mortgage of his house. He consenting, Btown
peoposed that a mill named A booloo, whO It id
been employed as a writer by several attorneys,
should be e aployed ; and when every thing was
ready. Brown took the prosecutor to his house,
the deeds were rend over to him. as he could not
read himself ; and being satiatied that they were
right, Bowles paid over the motley. He subse-
iptrittly found that instead of a mortgage deed,
Absolott had deposited with him an old cancelled
Corporation lease, and a regular bond for the 6111111
of 100/. executed by Brown.
The Counsel for the Prisoners contended that the
Prosecutor had sufficient aecitrity for his musses,
anti therefore his clients ought not to be placed
where they were.
The Jury were locked up for four hours, after
which they returned a verdict of Guilty, and
Brown was sentelicA to be imprisoned twelve, sod

county, to the privilege of getting sea weed on the
flogg Hall Sands, a part of the see ►hore so called

On the part of the Defendant it was coo.
tended by Mr. Serjeant (Atom, that the Plsin•
tiff could have no exclusive right without a
grant from the Crown. which he had not psose,l ;

presumptive evidence th.it he had a right. in com-
mon with the other freeholders of the township. to
the whole; and that he could sot lose half his right,
because he had only enjoyed half. The Jury,
however, were of a differeat opinion, and found a
