pointing John George Latabton, Esq. guardian to the son of

entitled to an estate in Scotland; but as the young gentleman,
did not reside in that country, a tutor, the person appointed ire
loco tettoris by the law of Scotland, :eoititl not legally be ap-
pointed, and such an appoilituFnt. was peceSqary in order to
perfeet the father's contingent title to the estate. .

that no beneEcial interest appeared to arise to the infant front.

Ives, Cornwall. Dunn, in his leVltrlsencfoer
tee appointed by the House of ROTIMOMO stated, that on the
evening of the Ist of March. 1820, some-of •the voters of the
Borough came to Mr. gain's house, where the 'Committee and .
the Candidates were dining together s that the voters came into •
a lobby .adjoining the dining-room; that liaise went out, and
distributed among them treating tickets; and that he spoke j 4
so loud a tone, that every person in the dining room must have
heard him.: Dunn was preoecuted, and convicted of perjury ;-
and on his trial, the defendant, who is a surgeon residing at St.
Ives, swore that he was of the dinner party, and that noise did
not act as he was stated to liave acted by Dunn. In the course'
of his evidence he denied that any voters came to Halse's house
that evening. ,
Some of the witnesses who gave evidence yesterday for the
I-rosectition against. Mr. liaise, swore that they went to Mr.
al.'s house on the evening of the Ist of March, 1820. •
The ATTORN.EIT-GE/itii.AL addressed,the Jury for the de,,,
Pendant. He adthitted that. some of the voters came to Mr.
Halse's house that evening, and the defendant, in one part of his-
evidence, admitted that fact. • The Leained Counsel was ar-
guing, that, looping at the 'defendant's evidence,. it was quite
clear it when in answer to one question he used the weird
house, he meant that the voters did not come into that part of
thehouse sworn to. by Dunn.
The. LOUD CilliF J',osTici interposed, and said he cer-
tainly was of opinion that it would be going teolar to ‘'iay that
the defendant, when lie used •the word house, indented to swear
that none of the voters came to Halso's house • that evening.
Looking at the whiile Of 'the defendant's- evideaeloon the trial of
Dunn, it was quite clear he only meant to de.n.y4hat. the voters
come into the lobby, as stated by Dunn.. .
Mr.SCAIILETT , for the prosecution, said, as thatwas h is Lord-
ship's opinion he felt it his duty not to press the cause farthdr. '
The Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found the defend.,
ant Not Guilty.
