Sittings bejbre the Lotto Cam. .Ive Tics and a Spew! Jury.
TAYLOR AND NAILTIYEAti V. DANDIER.
The plaintiff/ are the eminent engineers in the City-road. This
amiss it beett against the ti-efendant, a planter in the island of
Vommetieb se ft acceptor of a bill of exchange for 1,1651. as. Bd.,
Abed esthe OM February, 1823, and payable at four months. It
wet given to payment of a steam-engine, and a mill for crushing
the sugar-cane, which on their arrival at 'Demerara were found to,
be seeress. It was proposed to the plaintiffs to take back their
machinery, which they refused, and the defendant, under these cir-
cumstances, resisted the payment of this bill.
Mr. Gnawer called a witness to prove the handwriting of the
prudes to the bill.
Mr. SCARLETT, for the defendants, was going Into considerable
detail as to the purpose the steam-engine and null were to be ap-
plied to, end their entire-uselessness, when
The LORD Cruse JUSTICE said that these eircurmtances could

a year ; that the spoke of having 5001. a year in the West Indies,
sad that Men is were to come and live with her, which would enable
her to pay and maintain so handsomean establishment as she meant
to support. She gave a reference to Mr. Park, tVestbourne.place,
who stated that every thing she said was perfectly true. She took
the house, and temeined iii it about two months, but previous to
'her coming thet.t., Godfrey called on her behalf six or eight times,
to make arrange.nents. It as when she was arrested she left
Beaumont-street ; she was thence removed to the King's Bench.
No rent was ever &stained from Mrs. Saunders.
atilt, a butcher, stated, that at Spring Cottage the
female defendant w rat by the name of Cook. She got provisions
from him,Ond on hits not being paid, and threatening to arrest her,
Godfrey interfered, remcnstrated, and told witness that he was very
troublesome. Never got any part of the money due to him.
A harp manufacturer, a 31r. Eratt, was then examined.—in the
month of January in the last year the defendant Saunders came to
him, and expressed her wish to have a harp on credit, giving a
reference to Mr. Park, and also to Mr. Parkinson, a looking.
glass manufacturer in Greek-street, Soho. lie went to Park, by
whom the statements of Mrs. Saunders were corroborated, in moose-
iuence of which she obtaitted front witness a harp, value 1101. ss.
She gave her acceptance for the amount, which was never paid.
George Benton, a pawnbroker. examined—Godfrey came to him
and pledged with him in the 'name of Thompson, a piano-forte,
for 251. Afterwards he sold to witness a harp for 581.
Mr. Eratt was then re-examined—Be said that the harp sold to
the last witness, was the same which had been purchased of him.
John Chalice, the next witness, stated, that in consequence of a
reference to Mr. Park, he had been sent to that person, and he
gave the same account of Mrs. Saunders that he had done on all,
, previous applications.
'Flutings Botcher remembered Godfrey and 31n.Saunders coming
to him in the month of November, 4823, the former, appearing to
be in search of another piano-forts maker, asked permission to
bring Mir. Saanaers to look at witness's stork of instruments. She
fixed upon one, which she hired, and wished to keep, hut he de-
clined to sell it to her. Godfrey tailed about seven or eight times,
r' mad he was at length prevailed on to sell it. on condition of getting
a reference, with lUI. cash, and a bill for BM which, however, was
never since paid. Both Park end Godfrey represented Mrs.
Saunders as a woman of property.
To William Bevan. paper-hanger, Piccadilly, who was also
e .-amined, the faitale defendant made the same reprz,sentations that
she had done to the other persons imposed upon, which were borne
out 't in the same manner by Park and Godfrey. His bill for
sieeees,2aing the house in al'estbourne-place, which she took, was
1301. for which had her arrested.
From
.nlr. John Carpenter it appeared, that he was a livery.

the parties got from him a piano.

A witness named Boyne stated, that Godfrey had of Bred one or
the piano-fortes for sale.

James Wansell stated, that a harp had b purchased from him
ae
by the defendant, Saunders, at four month,' credit, for 401., she
stating, that she did not expect to have money to pay for It before
that time ; hen however, never mt. paid for it.
From te evidence of John Flower it appear,. '34 that Godfrey
had pledged this harp for 201.
Jane Nathan stated, that she bought the same hat o from God-
frey for Si. over the sum it was pledged for.
John Smith being examined said, thrt he had given cre tit to the
parties for linen-drapery to the amount of sixty or seventy sounds,
influenced by the same representations that had deceived otbet
Thomas Clarke was deprived -of a harp in the same manner
was James Detroit:, and Messrs. a:nod and Co.
Mr. CMITTV, in addressing the Jury on behalf of his client,
pressed upon their attention the strong ground which there existed
for presuming that Park had acted ander the sense delusion which
had imposed upon he others; he did sincerely believe that lire.
Saunders was what she "represented herself to be. It would be
shown that in her money transactions with Mr. Park she had acted
most correctly, and it would likewise be shown that she had
property in the West Indies. Park, he contended, could have no
object in lending himself to the alleged' frauds of Mrs: Saunders,
as the prosecutors were unable to show that he had participated in
their produce. The Learned Counsel then stated the aatare of
the evidence which he was instructed would be produced.
Mr. Anotruus then addressed the Court and the Jury at con-
aiderable length on behalf of those for whom he was concerned.
`He complained of the oumber of counts in the indictment, and of
evidence having been produced to prove that of which his client]
had been left in ignorance. Ile dwelt tot, upon the difficulty of de-
fending one who, like Mrs. Slanders, was from illness incapable of
giving sufficient instructions. The Jury were bound to consider
the exact question which they had to decide, it was not whether
any penoss had been defrauded, but whether the parties accused
had conspired for that marpoae. After some further observations
on the Cale witnesses were called.
Mr. UNIACKE previously addressed the Jury on tiehalf of
0 odfrey.
George Kenning. 'builder, befog examined, stated that he has'
known Mr. Park 13 or 14 years. Went with him to arearummt,
Soho. for the purpose of inquiring the reference of Mrs. Saunders.
Slr. Parkinson in that street informed him that the lady respecting
whom he went to inquire wan of great respectability, and possessed
of property in the Nest Indies. It was at a looking-glass and
picture-frame shop they made those inquiries.
Cross4xamined by 3lr. GURNEY—Is sure the occurrence above
related took place in the latter pats of the month of September
1823. Could not say whether or not Mr. Park had ever been
confined in the King's Bench Ile had been for years oat of the
sight of the witness.
Wm. Hayes carries on businenat Waiworth as a linen.draper.
Had heal at Ale. Park's house frequently, and saw Mts. Saun-
ders there; it was at 41, Clargesntreet. Said to Mrs. Park that
he knew the lady, and that she possessed considerable property.
lie at that time had a highly favourable opinion of her.

hilimp, es eetweived, suMeient for his purpose to give the Jury a
genmet idea of the nature of the cases which Mould be detailed in
evident. to them, without exhibiting separately the features of each
andlvidual case. It appeared that the defendant Sophia Saunders,
otherwise Cook, had been at different times during the last two or
three years confined in the King's Bench prison, and that she had
there got acquainted with the other defendants, Godfrey, Turner,
and Park ; that while within the rules of that prison, or said to be
vo, she was, though nominally a prisorier, quite at large, practisingl
deceit and fraud upon his Alajerdy's subjects to an extent which
had scarcely ever been equalled. She was occupied going about to
the tradespeople of the metropolis, obtaining their goods upon cre-
dit, and, in conjunction with the other defendants, disposing of
them, and dividing the produce. Godfrey was the person who, on
most occasions, accompanied her, and interfered on her behalf, and
it was to Park that she from time to time gave references at the in-
itiate* of the different tradesmen to whom she had applied for'
credit. When 1,10841 tradesmen caine to Park, they uniformly were
gold by him that lbs. Saunders was a lady of rank and respects.
Wily, and that she was possessed of property in the West Indies
to the amount of MM. a- ear.
The first witness called was a Mr. Parish, an officer of the King's
Bench, and he stated the circumstance of the defendant's having
been In custody of the officers of Chit prison at different periods
since the year 1820.
Daniel Flight, a boy who had been in the service of the defend.
ant, Mrs. Saunders, was next examined. It appeared that he
had been with her when she lived at Spring Cottae, Hampstead,
mad also at Bayswater. Godfrey was frequently with her, and so
was a person named Grath, who was sometimes called Turner,

Priscilla Baker lived as housekeeper with Mr. and Mrs. Park ;
the latter was in bad health. She died about 18 months ago. Had
been freqaently at the house in Clarges-street. It was in thel
month of October 1823 that Mrs. Saunders took the lodgings. She
paid some money for wine that she had of Mr. Park. Three'
pounds a week she undertook to pay for the lodgings. Witness
had been living three years with the defendant. Mrs. Saunders
slept in the country while she had those lodgings in Clarges-street.
Cross-examined.—Mrs. Saunders kept those lodgings about two
months, but never slept there. It was a Mr. Godsil who intro-
duced that lady to the defendant. It was in October that she came
to lodge in Ciarges-street. Mr. Park was not in confinement in the
month of October in that year. He was in confinement four months
in Cold Rath-fields. She did not know that Mrs. Saunders wan in-
troduced to Mr. Park for the purpose of being engaged in the
purchase of goods, the produce of which was to be divided amongst
them. (Counsel read from a paper a statement to the effect which
the witness denied above.] Did not say that Park should have a
share in the booty, be taking care to appear as little as possible
himself in any of the fraudulent transactions • said that Mrs.
Saunders and Godfrey made application for a ready-furnished house
in King*s.road, but the owner suspecting the parties, refused to let
them have possession. Godfrey and Mrs. Saunders went out fee.
quently in the gig, and sometimes in the carriage together. Had
heard Mr. Park say that Mrs. Saunders bore a very had character.
She had taken a house from Mr. Park, which she had repaired and
decorated, and this Mr. Park spoke of as some security for the
payment of his rent. Mrs. Saunders had applied to the witness to
say she knew her whilst residing at the Claremont Hotel. Went
to a masquerade in the year 1823, with Mr. Park and Mrs. Saun-
ders. Knew Mr. Godfrey; could not tell what to make of him.
Has been fora fortnight together sleeping at Spring Cottage. Mr.
Park slept there sometimes. None of the goods bought by Mrs.
Saunders ever came to Mn. Park's chambers. Mr. Smallimod did
not turn her away on account of any association with any person,
or on account of any goods which it was said ale was obtaining.
Re-examined by Mr. CHITTY—has not been at variance with
Mr. Park. Is related to one of the parties in the prosecution.
WMLam Beckett.lbew of Mr. Park having in the year 7123
purchased property at B'estbonme-place, for t price of 2,2001.,
subject to mortgages for 8001.
Cross-examined—Mr. Park just previous to that transacKon had
made a compromise with his creditors for a sum of five shillings in
the pound. Ile believes it was in the year 1822 that he made that
compromise. Defendant was in prison for four months in the
year lan.
James Baily had been acting clerk of Mr. Phipps, and knows
that Mr. Turner is executor to the will or Mr. Saunders; has
reason to believe that Mrs. Saunders is possessed of property in the
West Indies.
William Aston has been employed in buildings at Kensington
and elsewhere for Mr. Park. lie has been engaged in more than
eighteen houses.
Whetheral examined Mrs. Baker, and took down a state.'
meat of what she professed to knew respectiv the transactions
forming the subject of the trial. This paper being put into the''
hands of the witness be contradicted a considerable portion of what
she bad deposed to, especially in what related to Park sharing in
the produce of airs. Saunders's plans for obtaining money.
Smallwood sworn—Mrs. Baker lived with him for twelve
months; he gave her warning, and gave as reasons, that goods
had been brought to his place without his knowledge, as also on
account of her association with Mrs. Saunders and others.
After Mr. CHITTY had made some observations on the facts
Mr. GUIINEY briefly replied, and also took a review of the
evidence.
The LORD CHIEF JtrwricE then recapitulated the evidence,
and the Jury, after a few minutes consultation, brought in a ver-
dict of acquittal for Turner, and of guilty against Godfrey,
Saunders, and Park.
