CLERKEIVIVELL SESSIONS, JAN. 17.

BEFORE WM. MAINWARING, ESQ.

CON S\PIRACY.

Samuel Dois, John Marryalt, John Lon,rence
Bay-Ton;,, Ceorie Windle, and Sarah Grauer, Were.
brought up ‘to'receiVe judgment, upon their convic-
tionoll aft indielment charging them with flaying
wickedly conspired together to prevent t'.,e; allow
ance,of the certificate of John Hathaway, a Bank-
rupt, by presenting a Petition to the Lord, Chancel-
lor, falsely stating, that the said John Hathaway
had, within a year previous to his bankruptey, lost
the sum of ten guineas at a game of cards called
Put, and procuring false affidavits to • be. Made in
support of that allegation. • -
Davis begged permission to speak :—he said, he`
wished he night never. come- out of the prison to'
which he was about to be sent, if lie had. ever seen
APClutchie,
_the principl_ witness against him ; he
declared the evidence in t hat. respect had been false.
He was ready to receive judgment, but lie suggested
his case was a hard one, and he trusted the court;
would take it into consideration.--MarryaiCalso de
nied .the veracity of M'Clutchie's testimony' The,
notorious character of that witness, he hoped,' would'
induce the Court to pause before they inffiCted a'
severe sentence... He added, that :his situation in,.
life had been respe&able, that hehad• never been in
a prison, and, that he was 55.. years of age.—ußarrow
endeavoured to exculpate hinaSelf on the sameground.
The CHAIRMAN observed,. that the Jury who tried
the• Defendants had been repeatedly told, that if:
M'Clutchies evidence stood alone they ought not to
give credit to. it.' Their verdict was warranted by
the eVidence, and was satislaCtory 'to the biurt.—
HaVing stated the indictment and conviction, he'said,
that the circumstances of this conspiracy were of the
most aggravated nature. It appeared that the five
Prisoners had contrived to ruin. the bankrupt, by
preventing the ajloWance of his certificate ; and that
too after he had been brought to a state of batik—
rtiptcy by his connexion with some of them. No
excuse or palliation co4lci be offered. for such an
offence ; and it was now the painfal.duty of the •
Court to inflift -a heavy punishment, not with a
view to the feformatiOn of the delinquents, but for
the exLlmple'of other, and to prevent the Unwary
.and 'honest 'tradesman from falling Into sueli snares
and misfortunes as those which had proved. the ruin ;
of Mr. Hathaway.
Upon a fill' considerationof the circumstances of

the Case, the sentence of the. Court was, that they,
Sam: Davis,- J. IN,larryatt,, John Lawrence -Bartow,
and George Windle; and, each of: them, should be
imprisoned in the House of correaion for the apace
of two years ; and that within the first month of
such period 1,4 should be ptit in and:upon the.,pil,
lory, in Finsbury-sqUare, for one hour, between the
hours of nine and two.. Witiv Sarah Gra-
ver, wicked as she had be Court 'conceived
that she might have :beeoll,' ite the crime she
had committed,by.some: person' vho had More cOn-
troUl over her than he ought to have had. The
sentence upon her therefore was,
,that she should be
imprisoned six Months.
The Court was greatly crowded, as it was,expea-
edthat the Rev. John Birtter Pike, of Entield,.would
have been tried on an indictment for assaulting .cer-
tain young Ladies who were under the tuition of
his wife,

The trial was to have come on in No-

vember. but was postponed until the present Ses=
sion; on an affidavit Of Pike, that Material witnesses
were absent. The indiament would have been
tried on Tuesday last,' but was again put off; in con
sequence of a second affidavit, stating that a material
witness was out of town. Mi. MAii.wA aft,: G finally
,fixed the trial for this day ; 'but when the parties
were called, the Defendant did not appear. We un-
derstand 'that his recognizances were ordered to be
estreated. About- twenty young Ladies who had
beeri scholars to Mrs. Pike attended on 'the part of
the Prosecution.
