Mr. Adolphus. for the prosecution, which was carried on 'by the
parish of starytehooe. addressed the jury. It was unnecessary for
him to auticipete any et the detail which would be produced to
evidence ; they had heard enough front the marling of tit indictment
to explain its nature to them. Lie was ow ire that his learned friend
would conduct his case with all that skill and ability toe which ha
was distinguished, and at the tome time with the measly candour
which belonged to him.
Evidence was then called, and the facts proved.
Mr,. Alley. for the prisoners, contended. that there was no proof of
the consphaey. A conspiraey, he observed, should lit• to do tame
act which was to b ing iriery to others; but the prisoners wire unly
injuring themselves wad it would be a solecism in law, to suppose
that any man, or set of men. could conspire against himself or them-
selves. As to the innocence of the prisoners on the two other counts.
he bad nothing to soy.
The Chairthaa (Mr. Corot). in remarking on the evidence, fully
coneurroi in the objection which Mr. Alley had made, as to the want
of proof in support of the conspiracy. ; but said, there was sufficient.
if the jury believed it, to convict them of the offences charged in the
6th and ;tit comity.
The jury accordingly. without hesitation. found them Guilty of
the I:ffi.ner in the WS mid Sat ...med.
The Chairman, after consulting for a short time with his brother
Idagistrates, delivered the eenfenee of the Court without any com-
ment. It was, that Win. Harvey SV:6ley and James Howe should
