THE Ktt4q. SktLY AND OTBFRC.
Tots was art IndiCtment against Mr. Spry, a
Lieutenant of the Navy, .and the Impress Officer at
Little Hampton, Duke, a Seaman, and William
IVleetin, a Farmer, for a riot, assault, and false now-L.
eonment, in impressing
,two persons from Stoning-
too, who were not .liattle to the Impress Service.
Mr. Sedeant.SU Err Mtn called the oartietdar
tendon of the Jury, :to the oircamstancee of this
case, . inasmuch as .it involved the most serious
coosequencea to the liberty -of all persons, in the
same. dais of life with the persons whom he then
represented. The Detemlant, Spry, WAS an °dicer
of the Impress Service, and the case he had to lay
before riven was that of a wantoo abuse of the.
beenentrusted to him for the good
Power which had
and service of his Country, into an engine of private
revenge and oppression. The poor man who now
stood as one of the Prosecutors of this Cause, for
another of skeet was dead, were,boih labouring men
in husbandry, and one of thetno.SAwtenlit was sup-
posed, had given information against some smug-
glers, particularly against a man of the name of Stile,
and in' revenge they had caused him to be impressed,
although there was no more pretence for doing it,
according to the laws of the Impress Service, titan
there was for 'impressing any man then in Court. He
was sorry to add, that from circumstances, it appear.
ed, that Lieutenant Spry knew he was aiding in the
gratification of this private malice, and not in the
fair execution of his duty. For it would be in cvi.
dence, that after the pressgang .had broken into the.
poor man's cottage, and carried him and his son
away, the Lieutenant was applied to, and told, that
the persons he had taken had never been to sea in
their lives. But he refused to release them, and di.
relied them to he sent to Portsmouth. It would be
proved too, that he said to one of them, that it was
as much a theft to take Master Series tubs as to
steal a sheep from the field," anti that the impressed
man had hero peeling against Serle, and was a man
of bad chataCter. The Learned Seijeatit then
enadverted upon the equal security sshich the law
afforded to, the lowest as well as to the highest. It
threw a hedge and se wall mead the pour man's hut,
which it was as criminal ers destroy or break through
without a legal cause, as violating the security of
the proudest.mansion. The cottager might sleep as
safely upon his pallet of straw, as the Peer upon his.
bed of_down. Tile latch of the cottage door must
no mare be lifted up hostilely, than the folding; doors
*f the palace be rudely burst open. , The law, re.
rented the violation of both in one , equal degree.
Be paid many encomiums On the naval character,
and although his instruCtions bad'obliged him to
. state these charges against a Gentleman claw pre.
!Cession, he declared it would give hint the greatest
pleasure to hear them dispraved.
Mary Sow ten stated, that she was the, whtQw of
Sow ten,and that she had a son b' a former marriage,
of the name of John Mawley. hey lived all toge-
ther on Storrington Common. On the aoth of Fe-
bruary last her husband had gone to bed at eight
o'clock, when their cottage Wte surrouroled by eight
or ten people, who burst into it. They dragged her
son, Mawley, from the chimney corner and hand.
eared bins. - ~item. then -went up stairs and
brought down her hashaed,one of them dragged him
down by the legs, and another by the hair of his
heed, and then they handcuffed him also. She saw
the Prisoner, 'Duke, there, and NV. Meetin was and..
ther of them.- There was also amongst them a Mars
of the mine of Trevott,who was not in Court. They
dragged, her husband down withotit his clothes, but
upon his entreaty they allowed him to dress himself
before they handcuffed him. She wentiot the door,
and there stood another man, who told her he was
the master of the people in the house, and that he
bad a pistol, and would shoot her if she made a
noise ; they next compelled her husband and son to
go witb them. The next day she heartbby a letter
where her husband was ; she immediately sit out
eta Little Hampton, and found him at the rendezvous
House a prisoner, and he was aent from thence to
Portsmouth, and did not return for a fortnight and
three days. He was then very ill, and she fetched
him home from Arundel in a cart. He died in OX
slays after 'he got home, She added, he had not been
at work for three weeks before he Was impressed,
having met with an accident by having been crushed
on :the Side by a waggon.
Thomas Broad, Comptroller of the Customs at
Hampton, stated, that Sowten had given. information
to them, a few days before he wash pressedoigainst
Serge, .and Some other. reputed smugglers.
Serjeant Sheer eats commented with great
force on this evidence, in his reply and after a
very minute summing up, the Jury found .all the
Defendants Guilty—finding the Lieutenant guilty.
of the false impriaonment, and not:of the assault.,
The judge immediately pronounced sentence,
which Was a one of 501. on Lieutenant :spry.; three
Months Impriefniment on Duke ; and twelvemonths
imptisontstent, and a fine of tool. ori Meetin.
