LAW REPORT.

COURT OF I(ING's BENCH, V. 2z.
strriNGs srrolt F. LORI) ItLINtioROUOII AND A SPECIAL
JOKY, IN wr.vemtrwrz)t-BALL.

TIIE KING V. WELLS ORTON.

Tltti was a Prosecution against the Defendet, •
Mr. Wells' Orton, upon, an Indiament chaiging
him witivwilful and -corrupt Perjury.
The Defendant had some transactions with a per.
son of the name of Thomas. Knight, and lent him
money to the tamount of fool. for which Mr.
Knight granted him an annuity of tool. a year, re.
deetnable at the will of the Grantor after three years
•
upon payment of the principal,• interest, charges,
&c. Some time after chi's, these parties had some
differences, upon which Mr. Knight made applica
tion to the Court of Common Pleas, and Obtained a
Rule, calling on Mr. Orton to shcw cause why the
Annuity should mit be set aside; and the. Appliea.
tion was founded on the Ptovisions of the Annuity
Ad; and the objeaion was, that the Memorial was
defeaive, -inasmuch as it stated that the whole con-
sideration fox the Annuity was paid by Mr.'Orton
himself, whereas thirty pounds of it. was paid by
his Attorney. Upon shewing Cause against this
Rule, Mr. Orton swore that the whole money was.
paid by himself, as stated in the Memorial ; upon
which the Rule was discharged and' the annuity
confirnied. Upon this, Mr. Orton was indiaed for
Perjury, and it was insisted on the part of the
Prosecution, that it was a question whether the
application to set aside the annuity. was right or
wrong as a point of common honesty, the Party
baying had the whole consideration money paid to
him by Mr. Orton and his Attorney ; for, as the
Law required it to be so stated in the emorial, the
Annuity was void, if it was not .so stated ; and the
'application to set it aside was regular in the course
of Law. If, therefore, the Defendant. qwore that
the money was all paid by him, for the purpose of
sustaining the Annuity, he knowing, that without
that, he could not sustain it, and knowing also, that
part of it was paid by his Attorney, lie was guilty
of wilful and corrupt Perjury.
Upon giving tin the Affidavit on which the per-
jury was, assiaooed, it appeared, that the attesta-
tion to it, of the oath having been taken by the
Defendant, was before the Court of Common Plea',
and that Sir ALAN CHAMBRE, one of the Justices
of that Court, had put his signature to it as the
junior bulge,- according to the praftice of that
Court—whereas, Lt was stated upon this Record,
that 'll4 oath was taken ixtore Sir A _LAN CS-f.,.N1,
acts, one: of the Justices of the Court
Pleas, instead" of stating it to he before the Court
itself. . _ .

.•Iyir. 311(.1 Mr. LAWS Objeaed to this as a
variance between the Record and the Evidence, and
the faa..

Lord EL►ANDORoUGH said, that this variance
was fatal to this Prosecution. For this oath might
have Wen legally taken before the Court, even if it
had happened that, the Letters Patent of Sir ALAN
CIIAMM had not been duly sealed.-.. Upon which
without farther comideration, the Defendant was
entitled to his acquittal.
Not, Guilty.
, There was another indiament against another
person, who had joined this Gentleman in the aft.
davit, and upon which he was, of course, acquitted.
