LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING's DENCll—Warrtsit4sta*, MAT 13.
THE ICING, T. STEPHENS AND AONT•11.
Mr. DALLAS moved to amend the Judgment in
this case. Some time ago, the Defendants, who
had been officers in the East India Company's Ser-
eke, had been convited of taking a bribe, and ex-
torting money to the amount of 85,000 rupees, fur
which the Court sentenced them to two years im-
prisonment, and to pay a floe equal to the sum they
had so extorted. It had been previously agreed,
that the fine was to be calculated at the current
price of the rupee, which was then stated to be
about 2s. (id. and the fine, under such calculation,
amounted to 111,6251. ; but since that time, it ap-
peared that the rupee was no more than 2s. 21d.
which reduced the fine to 9,3851.1 and that sum was
ready to be paid. The Court had dire led the
whole penalty to go to the Informer; and by StlGeo.
111. chap. 52, the East India Company were pre-
vest* I from releasing or compounding such jtidg-
meta. As the Company had no ohjedion to do it,
with the leave of the Court, he trusted their Lord-
ships would grant the rule.
Lord Ecatvarniotok said, that the Judgment
mast follow the Verdi& and could not be altered ;
but the Attorney-General, who had a
sdi.cretio wry
power, might enter satisfaction upon the record for
that suns, by discharging part of the order, upon
notice for that purpose.
The rule was accordingly drawn up to that
effe&
IRS [IMO, W. ROSWELL.
This was a rule for a Ci iminal Information against
the Defendant, los making a false return to a Mee-
dames, commanding him to give up the books be-
longing to the Corrora•inn for Paving and lighting
the town of Gosport, to Mr. Parsons, who had been
elected Cleric and Treasurer of that Corporation.
Mr. DAMPIER came to chew CAM against this
rule, and con:ended that a Criminal Information
Avis not the mode of proceeding, but it should be
by civil adion, for making a false return.
Mr. G tinter, on the ether hand, observed, that
he would be satisfied with any thing that should pa-
cify the people of Gosport, who were much inter-
ested in this question. He proposed that there
should be issues to try the merits of Mr. Papons's
eleilion, or that Gentleman should resign his of-
fize, if the Dfendant would only do that duty which
lie refuses to perform.
Mr.Da mei ca not being en instrodesl,deelined this
proposition ; and the Court, considering it a Ckle.
in which the interest of the public was much in-
volved, made the rule for a Criminal information
absolute.
