'Lord:TeerstuZsttratuat read a statement of this

Defendant for wilful and corrupt. Ntjory,:commit_
led at the last •Eiettion fortore the Clunty of Middle_
sex, held At' Brentford,,where the Ddendant, Thomas
Pricef voted for Sit Francis Burdett, on the 24th:of
July last, under the *lame of John Wright, for a
freehold at, No. 8, Belf.court, Gray's.inmlane,
there being re, such voter existing.. The perjury
consisted id his having taken the freeholder's 'oath
to the above eft-eel, upon which he was ittieted,
tried, and found guilty at the Sittings' after the last
Michaelmas Term, before LOrd' ELLE/41.10ROUCII
and Special Jury, in Westminster.halt.

new. trial, on thew-cued' that 'there. was not suffi,

of the testimony of a witness of the name of Brier,-
who, upon his cross-examination, it was Contended,
had shewn himself to be unworthy of credit. The
matter was argued et full length the Jest Term, and:
stood over for Judgment. ,
This day. Lord Hee eNISCIROUG,I4 delivered the,
opinion of the whole By rich, which was, that there
was no foundation for granting a new trial in this.

present was the season for that purpose., .

•of the. D4en4lant.. The only topic. which he could
venture to suggiet their Lordships in this case,
wag, that this oath was, taken in the hurry and
confilsion of a populitr EleCtion, wheetmen of low
education, vulgar habits, and gross morals, paid less
regard to the solemnities of. an oath titan they: would
do in a Ciatit of Justice; and if the Court could:make

&tint the Defendant would have the full heneat of
such a d;stionion, and that he would hay* as lenient

admit. • ,
The SOITCITQR GILNITRAL admitted there. was
„much hurry and 'confusion in, a popular Ele4ion, a
great deal of which was unavoidable; but. that was
36 far lroin mitigating the offence of thisnefendant's
that it was a considerable aggravation of it, for he
coolly, ticlibera,tely, systematically., and for hire,
agreed with others to take advantage of that hurry
and confasitin to pass ,fora charaLer which fie, was
not, and to poll as a freeholder for a Candidate; et

date a colourable and false majority, so that he might

the means of, making rose who were,_ if possible,
more guilty than, the Defendant himself„ he,meant
those. who were behind the curtain, and planned the
scheme—unless, he said, the Court could make them
bear a part of the punishment for the Defendant,
