CONVICTION FOR BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.
HEX v. Silt MANE•sEIf LOPEZ, SANT.
This was en indictment of rather a singular bat highly
important mature. It charged the defendant with having,
by himself, and by certain agents, coo-awed and bribe 1
several of the electors of the Borough or tlienir,ened.
Mr. Set yam Yell opened the ease on the pint of the
Cron n, %hick he described as one of the it ‘st hotpot tont
en,ps ih hick had ever resettled itaelf to the eonsidtrati,,,,
of 'Jury. Impatient, the I. eat tied Serjeant said, as it re.
'tattled the individual—importatit as it regarded the public
interest, and the purity of the Constitntion. Here vs as
person tit immense wealth, applying that wealth to the
most unworthy purposes. Atter es printing cuttaiderable
sums' it appeared that Sir At. Lopez telt rather insecure
as to his Intereat. Mr. Teed, the present petitimier fur
thampottnd, paid a visit to the Borough, and Sir Manessels
Lopez declines, in one of his letters, that liar from being
alas med by Mr. Trial's journey, if that gentleman neut.l
plat c I in the situation in v hich he stood be fore the
catunielicement of the titgociation, lie (Sir M ) would De-
sign his interest to him. One of these letters, in which,
speaking of the electors of tiramponsid, Str M. L. says,
" If they ran find any gentleman vs ho will pay them lit t-
ier, they may transfer their services to him"— mid ano-
ther, in width Sir Al. hopes lie shall Dot be put to the
additional expense of a dinner to the voters—excited
considerable merriment.
Wm. Hoare being examined by Mr. Gaselee,swore that
he was an Alderman of Orampound ; that in November.
1811, he went to London, and saw Sir M. L. at his house
in Arlington-street ; that Sir M. said he heard there ens
an opening in the Borough of Grampound, and that lie
should hr coining down soon, and would see witness on
the business; that Sir Si. Lopez regnested witness to
consult the rest of the Magistrates and fret hies' on the
subject; that witness then told Sir Al. that the ell elms
nmst lie satisfied, and 20001, would be necessary fur that
purpose ; that, after he returned to Oramiinund, he wrote
to Sir M. on the 'abject, and received an ;tamer. In die
beginning of December, he met Sir Al. at Plymouth ; that
he wrist with him to Mr. Hunt's office, while he saw Mr.
Hunt ; that he then explained to Sir M. in the presence of
Mint, that the freemen wanted 20001. and that Sir M. said
Hunt should come (loan ; that limit was at Gramponml
twice ; that on the first occasion he did not see so many
of the freemen as lie expected, and only staid a few hams ;
that he afterwards sect Hunt by appuintment at St. Angie,
and Ham came again to Grampound, where he saw about
40 of the freemen , that lie told Hunt that the freemen
expected SOL each ; that Haut said that could not be--
that they could have only SSI. each ; that Hunt then sle-
uthed him (witness) to send the voters into the room (it
room at an inn) one by one; that he did so ; that Hunt's
clerk, Mr. Rawle, was in the 300111, and John Brown, a
voter, when witneas left it ; that Symt.ns was not into.
(laced at this titer ; that he saw Sir Manasseh Lopez sonie
months after, al his seat near Plymouth, and that Sir M.
then said, 1' I have se cured Symons ; I have done some-
thing for him here—tonchiug the palm aids hand). That
lie afterwards introduced Allen, a voter, to Hunt, who did
not seem inclined to receive him, as they bad already gut
a majority. When flaunt Cathy to Grampoand the second
line, and witness sent in the freen.en, one by one, he did
not see any one vet-rise any money.
Q. Ind ynu receive any monsgif—A. Yes, I did.
Mr. Justice Holroyd.— I *Wit to sell you, you are not
busied to answer any question whir h may et imiume yourself.
Sir. Adonis.— I now pot the question again. Did you re-
ceive any money I—Witness. I do not t house to answer.
Mr. teed (examined by Mr. Serienar pen) said, that he
vs as an unsuccessful Candidate for tinimpoued I et Election,
and was rat the present _momenta petitioner. That in Au-
gust, 1817, he re. rived from Isaac Watts. a voter of Gram-
pound, a paper coataining the names of the voters vs ho had
been bribed by Sir M. Lopez ; mid that Wat s told him the
respective sums which had been paid. which he pot donut
against the respective names. That he called on Sir M.Lo-
pez, ie londou. That he told Sir NI. that he called, at the
des re of Watts, to know is hat he ( M). intended to do
respecting Grameound. If he (Sir AL) would he content
vs it h one sent, he (Mr. 'f erd'. might have the other. That
witness then told Sir M. lie vs as acquainted with his dro-
ceeding, tit Grampound, and poiduced the list he had re-
ceived front Watts. That Sir NI. merely expressed his sur-
prise where the la Mien could have got so correct a list.
That Sir NI. said the sum, a ere very correct, except that
he had paid more to smite than wan inn down. That witness
tied Sir M. L. that he and the electors were subject to a
pruaecution t that Sir M. then said he would protect the
electors if it cost him 100,0001. That he had taken Coun-
sel's opini iiii ; and that the electors were not liable, because
two years had elapsed since the trausnetions.
Mr. :Moline, in a very animated speech, argued, on
the part of the defendant, that the money in question had
been riven from charitable motives. to assist the Borough
of Crain; iiiii tirl, which was at that time in great distress.

Counsel then commented a ith souse severity upon the
evidence of Mr. Teed, and concluded with a hope that, it'

T:iir was an SC.IOII to recover a compensation in da-
m .ges from the defendant, fur the seduction of the
plaintiffs wife.
Scrjealit CROSS addressed the Jury on behalf of the
Jr. It. Harrison produced the copy of the register of
the marriage of we plaintiff, front the parish church of
St. Mary, Hull. The marriage w solemnized on the
17;11 of November, 1810; wittiest' was present; the
parties were)oung, and nearly of the same age; they are
at present about 30 year. of age. The plaintiff is a timber
merchant, residing at Hull, and carries cm business to a
considerable extent.
Eliz. Hall hue been occasionally employed in the fa-
mily of the plaintiff end his father for twenty-six years ;
had frequent opportunities' of witnessing the conduct of
Mr. and Mrs. Winter to each other, which was always
very affectionate. Mrs. Winter had three children be-
fore the separation took place, and she has had one since.
Mrs. %Winter's maiden name was Barker ; her father was
Mr. Maples, who left her a large fortune ; he died, be-
fore she was married. Witnes's said that she sometimes
saw Mr. Walton, time defendant, with Mrs. Winter ;
and that it did strike her as a little singular to see Mr.
Walton there so ofen ; but she never said any thing
about it. Mr. Walura is a young man ; witness does
inn think any thing about his being handsome, he is
rather tallish.
Mrs. Ann Wilkinson stated, that her husband was a
merchant at Ilull ; has known Mr. Winter and his wife
ever since their marriage, and has had frequent opportu•
nines of observing their conduct, and it always struck her
that they lived very happy together ; and Mrs. IVillter
was a very affectionate mother to her child; en.
Witness on her cross examination, said, she never ob-
served any change in the conduct of:%lr. and M rs. Winter
towards each other. Mr. Winter was a very regular man,
and generally spent his evenings at home. Witness has
sometimes seen Mr. Walton at Mr. NVinter's when Mr.
Winter was present, and sometimes during his absence;
witness thought it rather strange that Mr. Walton should
be there so often, but she did not think that there was
any thing improper. Mr. Walton first visited at Mr.
IV niter's in the year 1817.
Mrs Allen is the wife of Mr. Allen, ship-owner, in
Hull ; has known the plaintiff and his wife six years,
Was near neighbour to then), and was on the most inti-
mate familiar terms with them, and front every obser-
vation she could make, she thought they lived happily
with each other. The plaintiff, in his conduct towards
Mrs. Winter, was indulgent and tender,• who returned
it with every appearance of affectionate regard ; her con-
duct towards her children was also most affectionate,
and witness never saw any change in it towards her hus-
band. Witness stated, that two young ladies paid a visit
for some weeks at Mr. Winter's, and that Mr. Walton
teas there tery. frequently during their stay, and paid par-
ticular attention to one of them.

Witness was croes-examined by Mr. Scarlett.
Ann Nlorley was savant in old Nlr. Winter's family,
went in March IS to live with the young people.
Mr. Walton visited Mrs. Winter very frequently—every
day, or every other day; he occasionally to dine
there; and on these visits Mr,: inter would frequently
go to his counting-house and leave Mr. Walton in the
house, and the same after tea; he also occasionally staid
supper, but always went away about 10 o'clock. When
Mr. Winter was at home. r. IValto used to walk
with Mrs. Winter, and attend liar to the play. In the
month of May, 1818, Mr. Winter was absent for about
three week bness then proceeded to stale two se-
parate acts of adultery 'committed by the defendant,
during the absence of Mr. Winter. IVitness did not
acquaint her master with the infifelity of his wife; and
the reason she a-signed for not &Mut it was, that she
was afraid he would not believe it. She s.ti I Mr. Wal-
ton was a good tall man. Mr. Winter had a fortune of
about 14,0001. with his wife. Witness never had any
conversation with her master after he came house. Her
utter and mistress were Separated the latter end of the
last summer, and she has not rived .its Ow house with
her master since she returned front Scarborough. Wit-
nets said she marle'a memorand of the time when
the two acts of adultery were coentnined.

Warning to Licetwri Victuallers.—OnWednesday,
the landlord of a public house appeared to answer
the complaint for ff erin g persons to gamble iu bis
house.

A journeyman taylor, named Clancey, was the
complainant, and stated, that on the 15th of Febru-
ary he went in a state of intoxication to the defend-
ant's house, and was challengLsd by a man to play at
" l'ut.'' The landlord produced a pack of cards,
and the witness in a short time lost which bit
had with him, and the firmer then lent him 3/. whi h•
he had lost as speedily.—Several witnesses confirmed
this statement.

The defendant solemnly denied having provided
the cards, and said they were brought in by one
of the players. The present proceeding was, he
averred, a conspiracy between the complainant and
his feilow.workmen, who, having got much into
his debt, he had been compelled to sue tin in, and
they had adopted this method of revenge. 'I he de-
fendant did not deny having allowed card paying.
Upon reference to the Statute, it was tbuna that
an information, to be effective, must be laid within
seven. days from the date of the offence. The penalty
is 10/.

The Magistrate said, the defendant was highly
censurable in having allowed card-playing in his
house. He hoped .the defendant, and others of the
trade, would act with more caution in future, as
otherwise their licences would be in danger.—" And
now," observed the worthy Magistrate, " I find it
is enacted in the Statute, that any journeyman, ap-
prentice, &c. being convicted, either upon evidence
or his own confession, of gaming in any licensed
house, is to be tined ss.—and as you (complainant)
have upon your oath confessed this offence, I cannot

CH ANIBE R OF DEPUTIES.
SITTINGS OF THE 44TH OF MARCH.

The Members this day went into discussion of the
Project of Law, which is to have the effect of opening
its the departments books, auxiliary to the great Book
of the Public Debt. The object of this measure is to
gite persons, in every part of France, an opportunity or
vebtiii,; their proper.y its rents, under cetiain local
advaittaes. The Gmeramient, by this law, will obtain
loans and become answerable to public creditors in a
larger extent than they can be at present. The fortunes
of persons will thus be advanced to the Government
upon interest, and tin proprietors of stock, as in England,
wilt be bound to support the Government. The stock
transactions are at present confined to Paris; and it is
represented by the Minister, that the negociations in
tents, (stock-jobbing transactions) rAtiire a larger space.•
The provinces ought to have tke .same facilities and
advantages as the capital. The policy of this is evident.
M. de Poittet most strenuously opposed the project,
Dull contended, that although it ,night bind particular
fortunes and persons to support the Government, recent
events had pruned it was a fallacious system.—The Loans
established by Necker and M. de Calmse, were its all
hands. The finances of ancnonuous number of officers,
the panituuny of usany families., were all its the cause
du tresor. The Clergy themselves were public creditors,
yet all disappeared in the Revolution, and the French
Monarchy was not protected by the interest of the
rentiers.—Millions of assignats, spread to every hand,
hastened the fill of the Government.—M. de la Boor-
denaye alto opposed it. Ooe of his of was,
that it wo.:Itl convert the Government into the Bank
of France, anti reduce the Monarchy to a republican
Aristocracy, of winch bankers and capitalists would be
magnificent I ,ords.
