THE CARD-CISEATING CABE AT BRIGHTON.—The de-
fendants in this case were brought up for judgment
yesterday, at the Court of Queen's Bench. Lord
Campbell, in passing judgment, said, we think that
we shall best answer the purposes of justice, and
best discharge our duty, by saying that we shall net
at present pass judgment on these defendants, but that
they may be discharged en entering into their recogni-
sauces to appear whenever they shall be called on to re-
ceive sentence. They have been convicted on a charge
of a most serious offence. lam shocked at the instance
which this case presents of the evil of the law of England
allowing private persons to prosecute indictments, which
they have often instituted from the very worst motives.
Mr. Hemp is a young man who has got into bad com-
pany, and has lost both character and money, and there
can be no doubt that he has been made the victim of a
conspiracy'...engaged in by other persons. The proper
course for the Court is to decline. passing sentence, and
to order the defendants to enter into their recognisances
to appear to receive sentence wheneverl called upon.
Those recognisances will be; given sinedie, but they
roust undertake to come up whenever they shall be called
on to receive sentence. The defendants having entered
into the required recognisance were discharged.
