liench

The substance of the evidence on the part of the

Prosecution was, that in the year 1800 Mr. H. had
Uecoine embarraed in his circumstances ; that he
had got several bills. discounted by the Defendant,
t'orswhich, at first, .he yeceived a part in cash or
liAnk Notes, and the remainder in goods. Dislik-

iitg that mode of proceeding, he had .agreed-rather
to pay the sum of 11.. for every sot. or 51. for every
sot. interest for sit weeks, or sometimes for two
months. He had some transaelion4 nearly of the
same sort with Barrow, -and at length he became a
b::nkatpt.' At the meeting of his creditors at Guild-
hall, had mentioned_ the way in which he had

. lo,t great part of his money, and refused t 6 admit
t?e proof of the Defendant's .debts, though he was
thr,Pat,lned severely with the;. vengeance, particularly
of Barrow. At ,length, hirwever, . some meetings

. _
were had between those two, the others who had
. been conviaed along. with Barrow, and one Alex-
. 3nderM'Clutchy, a_clerk,to an Attorney, who drew
tip affidavits, stating that Marriott had played at the
me of putt, with Hathaway, oh the 22d of April,

each, which he' paid to. Mari-lotto' Mr, H. was
Thrown into the King's Bench prisu for a debt to
Jarrow, and after theaffidavits were drawn up, the
person who swore to their knowledge of Mr. H.'s
person, went to theprison to haves view of his per,
and to urge him to advance the sum of 14 to,
-obtain his dischaV, on the ground that if he did
nut would get people to swear that they had
seen himlo,e more than 51. at one time within the
last twelve months before 1113 application to. obtain'
his certificate. This he refused to- comply with,
the affidavits were sworn, and his, certificate was
refused to be:granted by the Lord Chancellor.
It was also sworn that_ Davis agreed to and- did 'pay
One halt of the expellees generally incurred. oti such
a sort of buSine. Ergin scvcral_circumstances that
came out in evidence, the Court.oh3ervtA, Oaf M.
C. was as bad. a man. as bad could be, but that ne-
vertheless it was necessary, in cases of indiVidual
fraud, or more complicate treason, to admit the teSi,
tiinony of persons who, being accomplices, would
be incredible witnesses if they were•not..suppOrted
by the evidence of persons of respeaability. In
the present case, Mr. Samuel Hill, also a prisoner
in the Bench, in part corroborated that of M`C.
.and the oath of Mr. Barlow, a Painter putt Glazier,
went to prove that Mr..H. was in company. with
hitt and a Mr. Withy, at o;-her places; during the
whole of the day on which he was said to haVe
played at cards near Bunhill-row. - •
The Court was decidedly of opinion, that the
charge had been proved from these. and other cir-
cumstances that we have not
,space to enumerate,
and the Jury found:the Prisoner Guilty.
