having a charge, conveying infamy and dithononr, ,
imputed to him. The offence was within the let-
ter of the ask, inafmuch as it was an attempt to
extort the payment of that demand, which the Pro-
fecntor might probably have thought himfelf jufti-
fied in difputing.
Lord ELLEN soitouGH was precifely of the fame
opinion with Mr. Erflcine. He fail he fhnuld have
had no doubt, even it the demand had been limit-
ed to the fum of 2001. which the Earl of Portf-
month feemed difpofed to admit, was due to the
defendant ; for he confideted it_ as an attempt, to
obtain payment of a demand which ought only to
have been enforced through the medium of aCourt
of juftice ; but it appeared that the defendant
claimed a fum infinitely beyond that. His letter
limed, he had been a lofer of 20001. by his Lord-
fhip's family, and by his unjnft detention and eon-
fmement in prifon; and he called upon his Lord-
Sip for complete reftitution, or he would put his
threat in execution. He therefore conceived the
offence completely within the ftamte, at the fame
time it was open to the Learned Counfel, to move
in arreft of Judgment, if he thought proper.
The Jury, without any bcfnation, found the
Defendant—Guiky.
