01 [I'C'S MINCH.. WESTMINSTER, J. Lv G.
PERJURY, MIDDLESEX El ECTIoN.

Tilt KIWI R. MURRY BREIT. ofiervise BRITT.
This was an indictment fin perjury, in swearing
the whole of a memorandum produced on the trial
of Price, who was convicted of a similar offence at
the tete Middlesex Eledion, the sittings after last
Trinity Term, and now under transportation, was
his own hand writing. ot- this trial, and the sub-
sequent proceedings, we have given full repot:, in
former papers.
Mr. Easicusic cpened the case on the part of the
prosecution, and stated all the circum'tances of the
trial on which the Defendant was a principal wit-
ness. He adverted to the evidence of the Defend-
ant on that occasion, particula•ly that part of it in
•hich he stated that he had gone wish pen, ink, and
•
paper, to Brentford, on the second day's poll, and
his subsequent proceedings when the saw Price take
the freeholder's oath, and vote. The Learned
Cornsel then said, while cross-examining the Ds-
Pendant on that trial, he observed a paper in his
hand, which he seemed unwilling to produce.
After some hesitation, however, the Defendant gave
it to him, and ha, Mr. E. found it contained a me-
morandum of Price's having polled, on the second
day, in the Holborn division, written twice, in totally
different hands ; the one, that of a fair clerk's hand

writing, the other so bad as to be scarcely legible.
The Defendant positively swore (though cautioned
repeatedly), that the whole memorandum was
written by himself. He said, it occurred to him at
the time to desire the Defendant to copy this memo-
randum in Court, which, after some time, and much
apparent difficulty, he at last accomplished ; and
from this it was manifest he had written the one hot
could not by any possibility have written the other;
the bad writing in the Memorandum bore a strong
similarity to that written by the Defendant in Court.
The Learned Counsel said, he considered this the
most audacious and wicked case of perjury that
ever came before a Court of Justice. The Defend-
ant was so material a witness upon the trial of
Price, that, laying his evidence out of the question,
it became a very nice point in the consideration of
the Court and Jury, whether Price could be found
guilty or nit upon the other parts of the evidence.
Ile said, he should not only he able to prove that
the whole of toe Memorandum was not written by
tile Defendant, and that part of it was the hand-
writing of the clerk of the attorney for the Prose-
ciuioo against l'rice, will was present upon the
and :at silent the whole time, allowing the De-
fendant to pass as the witness of truth, when he was
conscious of his being the witness of falsehood ;
but he would also shew that the Defendant was not
at Brentford on the day he had sworn he had seen
Price poll.
The record of Price's convietion, and the pro-
dation of the paper upon that trial being proved,
Lord ELLENSOROUGH asked whether the Defend-
ant had any Counsel, agent, or witnesses; and
being answered in the negative, his Lordship
regretted this circumstance exceedingly ; he ob-
served, that those who had produced him on the
former trial, might have given him the means of
his defence.
Mr. Gaaaow answered, that circumstances had

occurred since that time, which rendered it highly
improper for the parties who then produced him to
interfere in the present case. Those circumstances,
he said, should be fully developed hereafter.
Mr. Ease:me said, he hoped he never had in his
life been guilty of pressing on the trial of a Defend-
ant, particularly one under the circumstances of die
present, and he gave his free consent to let the trial
stand ov.T as long as the Court should think proper.
Lord ELLEN soaotiots then asked the Defendant,
could he produce evidence on his own behalf if the
trial stood over, and had he any means of finding
out Denby (a witness on the trial of Price called to
corro!)orate the testimony of the Defendant) 1 He
answered, that he thought he could.
Lord Et aen aoaouoit—', He ought to have the
means of launching his case, and subpcznaing kis
witnesses. It is very handsome and honourable
conduet on the part of the Gentlemen who direl the
prosecution ; and, on considering the case, I think
the Gentlemen who brought him forward on the
former occasion, owe it to him to support him on
the present."
The Soctciroa-GENsem. made a similar obser-
vation with that of Mr. GA ROW—which latter
Gentleman then intimated to the Court, that his
Lordship might assign Counsel to the Defendant.
Lord Et.Leseuaouoit considered it would be a
very disagreeable task fur him to throw upon any
Gentleman at the Bar.
Mr. GA lIROW said, he had no objeCtion to be his
Counsel, but desired it should be understood, that,
in assuming that charader, he was wholly inde-
pendent of, and totally unconnetted with, the per-
sons who had brought him forward upon the former
trial. He added, that he would take care to pro-
vide licences, to plead against the Crown, free of
any expence to the Defendant.
Lord Et-Lei:so OUGH thought it would be doing
an essential service to public justice—but it was too
much to expel, that the burthen and expence of
procuring licences should be cast upon Counsel.—
His Lordship being then informed by the Officer of
the Court, that, by the Defendant pleading as a
pauper, licences would be procured gratis ; he or-
dered them accordingly ; and appointed the trial to
stand over until Wednesday next.
The Defendant was then remanded to Ncwgate.
LIKINSHAW V. PIICC.
This was an glion for an assault.
Mr. GAR ROW, for the Plaintiff, stated, that he
was a minor, and sued by his father and next friend ;
be was a waggoner, and the Defendant one of the
drivers of the Manchester Telegraph Stage-coach,
and a noted pugilist ; and so far did he excel in this
most elegant accomplishment, that the walls of his
dwelling were ornamented with the feats of its pro-
fessors.
On the 20th of September last, the Plaintiff arid
one Howard were during two teams, in a lane near
Shanly-hill, between Barnet and St. Alban's, when
they were overtaken by the Defendant driving the
Manchester Telegraph from London. The latter
sounded his horn, and desired them to get out of his
way ; but not briag quite so prompt as his mandate
requited, he alighted from his coach box, dragged

thi Loy 0* his !mit, astd (scat both him and How-
ard n}ost dreadfully.
The evidence of Howard confirmed this state-
ment AS to the assault ; but he refused to swear
positively to the identity of the Defendant ; how.
ever it appeared, that when the Attortcy for the
Plaintiff went to serve 11:m with a copy of the writ,
he admitted the fa& of beating the young man.
On tiie part of the. Defendant, Mr. ENNICIRL de-
nied the probability of the Defendant's being the
actiinn who committed the assault, and called a
Mrs. Lard, of Redbourn, who frequently trave!led
in that coach, to prove that he W. 1,4 not the driver
on that day. The other driver, who drove alter.
'lately with the Defendant, could not speak with cer.
tainty as to the day.
Lord Ki.t.imnottonno said; the question WAS,
whether the Defendant was the driver on that day.
Mrs. Lard had spoken positively to his not being the
person ; she might, however, have been mistaken,
and his own admission of the fact to the attorney
was a very strong point, ar.d not attempted to be
controverted.
The Jury, after a shor consultation, found a ver-
dict of Ittl. for the Plaintiff.
RAIIRLTT V. SIR JOHN COX.
This was an affirm for work and labour, and for
fees and disbursements by the Plaintiff, who was an
attorney, residing in Soho Square, amounting to
1,0911. 71. Id.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL stated, that part of the
money had been for goods which the Defendant had
given a bill of sale of to the Plaintiff', bot which,
after he had disposed of them, turned out to belong
to other persons, and he was under the necessity of
refunding the value, the rest, amounting to about
som, were bills of costs, for the defence of an in-
didment, attendance on a reference, and the defence
of an ',teflon at law. It appeared, however, upon
the cross-examination of the Plaintiff's clerk by
Mr. GA 'mow, that the indiftment was for a conspi-
racy, in which the Plaintiff and his clef lc were prin-
cipal parties Defendants; that the reference also was
upon this subject, and that the Plaintiff was also a
defending party in the aClion at law, which was
brought by one of the owners of the goods, all of
which had been the subject of reference, and the
Plaintiff awarded to pay the expences. Mr. Garrow
also produced and proved an acknowledgment in
the Plaintiff's hand-writing for 5001. for money re-
ceived by him for the Defendant, fur which he pro-
mised to be accountable ; and, in the course of the
proceeding, the whole debt of 10911. 7s. Id. appear-
ed to be reduced to 41. when the Jury found a ver-
dict for that sum, subjea to a reference to Mr. Dam-
pier, and provided he should be of opinion even that
sum was due.

POLICE.

THAMES POLICE OFFICE, SATURDAY, JULY f.

A person in clerical orders was examined this
day, on a charge of defrauding several persons of
large sums of money, by pretending that he had
interest to procure them places under Government.
A Mr. Willy stated, that the Defendant had pro-
mised to procure him a place in the Ordnance
Office, for which he advanced to him a sum of 2121.
A Mr. Rolfe also appeared, and said he had ad-
vanced 941. upon a similar promise. The prose.
cntors apprehended the Defendant at Harwich, on
his way to the Continent. Several papers were
found in his trunk, which have induced a suspicion
that his praaice in this line has been very extensive.
He is about 50 years of age.
