MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

CONSPIRACY.

Thomas Milbourn, William Hornet, Harriet
Hornet, amid Sarah Weldon, were indicted for har-•
lag conspired to accuse Synion, Esq. a-
gentleman of large fortune,' of having assaulted
and wounded Harriet Hornet, for the purpose of
robbing her, twith a view of extorting money
from him. The prosecutor had been tried last
Session,-and acquitted. Upon that occasion the
charge of rape had been abandoned, although
it formed the ground on which the prosecutor was
first accused. Milbourn, one of those wretched
agents who-infest the courts of justice and police-
ofEcei; rounselled the abandonment of the capital
part of thecliarge,in order that Mr.-Synitin might
have the oPportimity of getting out of the scrape
altogether, by opening his purse to the accused.
About five mouths ago Mr, Symon wet
Mel-
boorm- at a billiard-table; and being at the time
under some -embarrassment, spoke to him on the
subject, and some advice was given by Milbourri,.
who sent in a bill after a ecinsiderable- time, wlkicii
Mr. Symon did not think proper to pay ; a dis-
pute was the consequence, whiCh ended in threats
upon the part of Milbourn. A few:- days after-
wards Milbourn wentto a- public-house,in„the
Islington-road, near which tine prosecutor resided;
and in the presence
.01 •a •-number of perstios
said, be had something that would surely hang
1111- Symon, for he could bring;
.forward -a per-.
son • who should charge him wink, a rape.—
A person who !thew the prosecutor brought him
ti; he confronted with his accuser. Mary Hornet
apt eared,-and. said, that at halt-past 12 on a Sa-
turday night she was attacked
,by a•man who at-
tempted -to commit a rape upon her, and 'related
several circumstances in support of het statement.
Milbourn said, "It was better to settle it," as he

had an 011icer ready to take Mr. Symon, Mary
Hornet admitted that she did not know who the
man was from *both she sustained all this
violence. Mi!bourn pointed -to Mr. Symon,
and asked if that was not the person. She re-
.peated her former declaration. Milbourn then
said, he was sure she could swear to him, and asked
her most. pressingly, 'whether the man was not
dressed as Mr. Symon was ; to which she replied in
terror, " Yes." Milhourn thvn said, it was a
had job, and must be settled, and he, 111113 t have
1001.,t0 settle it. Mr Symon refused. •Milhiturn
went down gradually in his
.deMand till„ he came
to 51., which the prosecutor refused, (let:10611g
that he• would .not give live. farthings. Milbourn
next day applied for a warrant to apprehend Mr.
Symon for a violent assault, with intent to com-
mit a robbery.
It was proved beyond doubt that Mr. Symon
was, at home at the time the violence was said 1„o
have been committed, and that Ito assault had
been committed on the spot described by Mary
Horne,.

The Jury found all the defendants, except Wel-
don, Guilty.
