This Milan indictment against the defendants, father
and san, charging them with conspiracy to sae oust a com-
mission of Isatekruptcy. The case has already hero helot e
the public.
Jackson, the younger, for a sum of money, was admit-
ted as a partner in the business of Mr. rox,a surgeomatc.
in Bishopsgate-street. Some time after, whilst lie was a
.debtor to Mr. Fox, the father made him a bankrupt, and
this prosecution commenced on the ground that the de-
fendants fabricated debts alleged to be due from the
father to the son, for the purpose of sumps,. ting the com-
mission. The Jary, on the trial, found the defendants
guilty.
Last Term, the Solicitor General moved for a new trial,
chiefly on the ground that a matei Sal doc 1111 l rot had been
rasind since the conviction, which truMul alter the blush of
the case. This was no other than a rc:eipt for expenses

%%Welt, with money advanced to him to carry Oli business,
and 4001. for which lee had his son's bond, made out the
t of the petitioning debt.
The Conti gi anted a rule to skew cause, and this day it
was opposrd Mr. Seattlett, who contended, that the
production of the document alluded to by his learned friend
mould not have altered the verdict, as the Jury would not
have given credit for mote than the 4001: proved by the
soles WWI.

The Lord Chief Justice considered this a case which
ought to be submitted to the Jury in every point of view,
and the Court, under all the circumstances, ordered the
rule to be amide absolute for a new trial.
WEDNESIMY, JUNE 12.

MA'S V. RC. C. Wri.DE, D.D. AND --. ROLETEN, ESQ.
This was an action ut trespass brought against the de-
fendant*, who are Iliitgistrairg of the comity of Nottingham,
for false imprisonment of the plaintiff. It appeased in
evidence, on the trial before Mr. Justice Palk, at the last
summer assiaos, that the plaintiff was, on the 1211* of Sep-
tember, ltizO, committed to the county gaol on the war-
rant of Dr. Wyllie for thither examination, and was
detained till the 14th, in the felons' yard, when be under-
went another examination, at the keeper's house. On die
24th he was sent, by order of Dr. Wylde, to the House of
Correction; and afterwards Mr. Rolsten came to speak
with him on the subject of the charge, at his own desire.
Application was made by his attorney to see him; but Dr.
Wylde refased to grant it, saying. " We will not suffer
any to see him till lie is fully cousiiiitted for trial." His
daughter also applied to Us. Wylde, in Mr. Rohteies
presence, for liberty to see him, and for pet mission that
attorney aught attend him; but the answ?r given was,
that his dearest friend should not see him until lie was
fully committed, and then all attornies and counsel might
come at their pleasure ; that they knew lie had not done
it Or his own head, and they would soon have those who
set him on. A Hillock's Corpus was panted by Mr. Jos.
tire Bayley, die commitment being bad, with some ex-
pression of a hope that the magistrate would admit him to
bail in the country, and save him further expence; bat
on healing it, Dr. Ws tile said lie WOlll4l never bail him
till lie was compelled so to do. Ultimately lie was brought
to Loudon, after lsieg in prison three months, and dis-
charged by Mr. Joisiiee Bayley on giving four sureties in
2001. e.lrh. At the follUWlllic as,igt-g, a bill was found
against him, but oo piosecittur appeared, and be was ac
quitted. On this evidence Mr. Justice Park said three
was nothing to go to the Jury against 111 r. Rolsien ; and
as hr Mott& the ditty iiiii•t hod that 'here was a joint
trispaNs or none, he nousuited the plaintiff. lit a former
teen, Mr. Common Sergeant obtain( d a rule to spew cause
hy this tionsuit should not be set aside, and a new trial
granted..

Mr. Cliuke now hhowed conic at:alma the rule' contend-
ing that there W:l4 no evidence whatever to atfect Nlr.
Rolsten, and ilint it would be extremely tisktubt to force
Lim to a second It

The Co 1111 l wit Sergeant, in support of the rule, nrged
that there was evidence of concert which ought to be sob-
milted to the cisii.ideration of the July. Mr. itolstete
concurred in the refusal to admit the itrisonces
and was apparently acting throughout with Dr. Wade,
ac they were atm in arm wheel the daughter met them.
Aithouglt Mr. RoWen did nut join in the in iginal commit.
'twill, or in the change of custody, yet if lie concurred in
the continuance of Die impriso 1111 l ent, he was halite, for
envy day's detention, with a fresh trespass. This ap-
peas ed to be an attempt, by duress, to obtain souse coin-
iiiiiincation Dom the party aecaseil, which woe must
ewe Jul y to the spit it (Attie British law.
The Lind CliselJust ice, alter conferring mail the other
Judges, said, that the Court who were anxious only to do
justice to all parties, thought the plaintiff ought to hate
the oppoi fimity of sob g his case to a Jury against
Dr. Wyltle, but that it would he improper to poi Mr.
Rolsten to the expeace of a defence. Against him there
was no evidence, because a rf Insal to give an order fur
the admission of a veinier to a prison could never be the
ground of a trespass. They wound, therefore, set the non-
snit aside, if the coning I for the plaintiff would consent
to enter a mac prasequi as to Mr. Rolsten, and they would
give him time to reflect, and to confer with his client on
the proposal.
