POLICP, INTELLIGENCE.

After some further discussion the defendant Was so •
victed in a mitigated penalty of 51., with power to sr
peal.
The defendant, understanding that the informer ass
to apply for 24 similar informations, caused e 4
equal number to be laid by a gentleman na°lo
M'Casky, as the Magistrates could convict only
cases on the same day, and after the evidence was talte
Mr. Frazer hoped that one conviction would satisr
the ends of justice, as the person who laid the inibillinot
tions bad received the prospectuses in a mass, and
singly.
Mr. TWYFORD said the Act mentioned that a cenvitic;,i
tion should be had for every copy, and conseque° '
evidence should be gone into for each case.
Stowell contended that the convictions which
the
taken place were illegal, as the person who had lard be
informations had given evidence in each case, wbichgy
was not competent to do, and he called upon the her
gistratcs to grant him informations in twenty-four Ot
cases.
Mr. Frazer said he could not attend again for a 11 fr
Stowell was willing to grant any time that westbe
quire(', provided no informations would be laid 10
meantime by the Company.
r
Mr. TWYFFORD said he would receive the in''',t n 0
tions of Stowell, but he would not sign the convie' e
which had taken place, as the person who gave evido
was not a fit witness. 01/
Mr. Wilton, solicitor for the defendant, said a
remained for him to advise his clients to plead guilty'
he had not as yet signed bis depositions. 001
Stowell objected, as he had already pleaded
guilty" on being sworn.
etlr
f
'Mr. TwvroaD said all the cases should be disulisgte
as such convictions would be set aside at the Quart
Sessions.
Mr. Wilton wished the convictions would be returned,
as an adjudication had taken place. eons'
Mr. TWYFORD said he had not signed the conv.c-ii,sl
nor would he do so, as he knew they would be -
for the evidence was such as could not be received.

BOW STREET.
Mr. George Eden, Secretary to the British and 10
reign Patent Invention Company, 418, West Strand,
appeared yesterday before Mr. Twyford, to answer a
complaint preferred against him by Stowell,the informer'
for having on the:27th of March, caused to be distribute"
certain printed papers, setting forth the objects of the
Company, without ham ing the printer's name on the fits"
or labt page. The informations were laid under thde
39ih of GeGrge 111., chap 79, and the penalty :201.,
not less than 51. upon conviction.
After Birch, the informer's witness, had proved the
case.
Mr. Frazer, the barrister, on the part of the derePt
ant, argued at great length that the case did not coal'
within the meaning of the Act.
Mr. TWYFORD considered that the objections wereof
no avail, as the Company invited the public to purchase
shares.
Stowell said that the prospectus did not sufficientitlYt
describe the business of the Company, the only °l3-le:,
of which was to induce persons to invest their os°ll'
in it.
