THE CHARGE OF CARD GATING AT

BRIGHTON. • !
A. proceeding of a somewhat extrOdinary character
occurred yesterday, before Mr. Justice Erie, at Cham-
bers, with reference to the case of card-oheating at
Brighton (the Queen v. Broome and others), and which
it will be remembered was a prosecution against the
defendants on a charge of cheating a young gentleman,
named Hemp, at cards, during the
sat Brighton races.
While the Learned Judge was occupied with a case
in which counsel were engaged Mr. Sill, who, up to the
present time, has conducted the prosecution in the
alleged card-cheating case, suddenly entered his Lord-
!
ship's room, accompanied by Mr. Hemp, and followed
by Harry Broome, the brother of the defendant Broome,
and several other persons.
Mr. Sill, addressing the Learned Judge, begged to
apologise for the interruption, and proceeded to say, that
whilst waiting on some business in the adjoining room
his attention had been called by Mr. Justice Coleridge's
clerk to an application for an order in the case of " The
Queen v. Broome and others," for a writ of certiorari,
and also to change the venue from Sussex to Middlesex.
Mr. Justice Erie—What is the nature of the charge
against tee prisoners ? Mr. Sill—That of conspiring
to cheat and cheating at cards.
Mr. Justice Erle—What is the amount of the prose-
cutor's recognizance ? Mr. Sill replied 5001., and went
on to say that about ten days ago an application was
made experts to Mr. Justice Coleridge for a similar
order, but that Learned Judge refused to make it. 11 is
Lordship, however, granted permission for a summons
to issue calling upon the prosecutor and his attorney to
show cause why the order should not be made. Now,
he (Mr. Sill) was known to be the attorney
t;ltcrhtehuogphroseeution, no summons had been served upon
him, and it was now sought to obtain the order by per-
,pally putting forward the prosecutor, accompanied by
some stranger as his attorney, to consent thereto. His
(Mr. Sill's) attention having been thus called to the
matter, Mr. Hemp was asked by Mr. Justice Coleridge's
Broome, the pugilist, the brother of one of the defen-
dants,

to apply to his Lordship for pro-
tection, having

for the manifest purpose of stifling the prosecution; and
he trusted feat his. Lordship would ascertain from Mr.
Hump who his proper attorney was, and thereby at once
dispose of the application for the certiorari and for the
change of venue.
H. Broome here made an attempt to speak to the pro-
secutor, on which
Mr. Silt. uppsaled to his_Lordship to prevent such in-
terference, and to order the parties from the room
which was done accordingly.
Mr. Justice Erle then asked Mr. Hump what attorney
he had employed, and on that gentleman naming Mr.
Sill, his Imeiship said, that there was an end of the appli-
cation for the certiorari, and the change of venue, and
addressing Mr. Hemp, warned him of the impropriety of
listening to any overtures from the prisoners or persons
employed. by them, and of the danger ho encountered as
to his recol mizances, and proceedings being taken against
him. His Lordship also pointed, out to him the neces-
sity of hie being advised by his own attorney in the
matter.
Mr. Sill here said it would new be clear to his Lord-
ship how easily the defendants might prevail upon the
prosecutor, and the present might therefore be the
proper time to apply to his Loreship for an order to
produce before the magistrates at Brighton the affidavits
which head been used in the application to Mr. Justice
Coleridge', it being intended to substitute Captain Chase,
the chief officer of police at Brighton, as prosecutor, in
the stefeei of Mr. Hamp, who would thus be freed from
the coral] pt overtures of the defendants.
Mr. Jtuatice Erle—You may tile an order to d pro me
all affidavits. Any personlatuty !eo bound over that the
msgistvates may think fit, and any person may prefer a
bill of indictment at the assizes.l
Mr. seil inquired whether he had his Lordship's per-
mission. t o convey his Lordship', opinion to the magis-
trates tit Brighton?
Mr. Justice Erle—Certainly if it ;
'" is of any service;
but I hte-ve no doubt the magistrates will be prepared to
do their duty.
Mr. Sill then, accompanied b Mr. Hamp, retired, and
the rev) red order to produce tile effidavits before the
Brighton magistrates waa drawn up.
