LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, GUILDHALL, JUNE 13.

Fit-lUD ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Lurd Cochrane addressed the Court, praying them to grant him a
new trial in this business. His Lordship complained that on the bee
trial at Guildhall, evidence of grout import,nice to proving his into,-

which would, lie said, materially alter the case as it respected himself.
Lord Elleoborough said, that no new tri,tl could be moved for unless
the whole of the defendants found guilty were in Court.
Lord Cochrane complained of the hardship in not being suffered to
prove his own itutocence, merely because those who were guilty were
not present; and dared mit spew their faces.
Lord Ellenborough slid, if they were to yield this rule, which had
been solemnly decided, and since uniformly acted upon, to one, they

The expences incurred by the Stock Exchange Committee prosmu-

their hands is about 10,0001. which it is intended to apply to charitable
purposes.
