---- THE KING V. COOKE AND DONLAN.
be s was an indictment of a similar nature to that reported
144 Paper of yesterday. The defendants, Michael Joseph
Cuonlan, who had been formerly a tailor, and Samuel
an agent, and one of the trustees to the living of Kil-
.1?; in the diocese of Elphin, county of Roscommon, Ireland,
charged with having fraudulently conspired to obtain a
11,:rt4' money from the prosecutor, the Rev. Joseph Brett, un-
-Ipretence of being able to procure him the living of
%irk% they well knowing that they had not the power to
li,!;,,birn said living ; and that the defendants did obtain
Iftirti;"" Prosecutor a sum of 4001., and bills of exchange for
Si 7 sum of 5751. under such pretence.
r mEs SCARLETT and Mr.
t):','°n, and Mr. PLATT and Mr. JUSTICE for the defend-
h tan—the defendant Cook appearing in person.
Ntel Rev. Joseph Brett, the prosecutor, was examined at
witlltingth, and detailed the various circumstances connected
I,tll,ce negociation. He had given no cash, but had given
A),,f4rst instance a memorandum for 4001. to the defendant
bapiall, and subsequently bills to the amount of 5751., as
ikilll, had informed him that a sum of a thousand pounds
Ihh ttl'e necessary. Witness had subsequently an interview
pm he defendant Cook, who told witness that 500/. was the
GNiereed upon between himself and Donlan, and ex-
io surprise at Donlan demanding a thousand pounds.
Said that the living was in litigation between the
S'es arid the Bishop of Elphin ; that one trial had
tie already decided in favour of the trustees, and that
;`14)11, Was no doubt that the House of Lords, before
N-T case would be brought, would finally decide in fa-
°ftne trustees ; and he engaged to put witness in pos-
oo the 4th of November. Witness had never since oh-

%Ltile preferment he had been promised. Mr. Lloyd,
kiti-w, incumbent of the living of Kilglass at the time, is
Ti lihent.

1' JUSTICE followed on the same side.
