ZdflY INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEE. •
THII RING V. W. JENKINS alias W. PRINCi.
This profrcution ranked from the proceedings at
the late eleaion for Middlefex, after which an Wilt-
ment was found, on a charge of perjury againd the
Defendant. The cireumflances nearly refernhic that
we have before given in the cafe of " the King
Prince and others." On the record, it appeared that
the Defendant listed bindelf to be cnti:led to a free-
hold in Stone-cotter's-lane, in the parifh of St. Martin
in the Fields, recopied by one Griot.
The SOLICITOR GENPRAL Rated the patticulars of
the crime charged againft the prifiner. Ka raid, it
Would entre out in evidence, that there was a regular
trianufaCtory for preparing faEtitious votes, which
were lint to shP. maricet at -13rentford. More than two
or three hund•.-ed famples of this kind had been difcr-
iered, but certain it was, that thirty indiftments had
been found. The objeft was, to beat down the Free-
holders by circle expedients, and to alarm them by
thefe fhadows; and if this praCtice were general, the
eleftion of the people, on which the liberty of the
country depends, would be wholly difappointed.—
The Learned Counfel then dated the particulars of
the proof, and the form in Which the evidence would
be adduced before the Jury.
Mr. Sudlow (Under Sheriff) was called to depofe
to the oath reqniredi and the mode of condueing
bufinefs adopted at the eleftion. His teaimony was
almoß precifely the fame as what we have before de-
tailed in the cafe of the King v. Prince.
Mr. ERsKINE t,bok an objeCtion to the agreement
between the can.;idites, touching the two oaths to he
adminittered not having- been damped ; on which
Mr. Gaveow, without giving way to the trjeetion,
proved the cJof-nt to this form of fwearing by parole
evidence.

Mr. Gordon raid, he was prefent every day : he
fnperintended the Poll-del i;+, who admiciftered the
o.►:hs. He was one cf the Under Sher itts, and Hated
to the Candidates the nature of the ag!ccmcnt, and,
with their concurrence, fettled the point with regard
to the oaths to he required of •11.1 Eleetors.
Thomas Maddan was a Poll-clerk : he depoft.d,
that he attended in the Weaminaer divifion. and he
produced the poll-bock, which contained the name
of William Plinct, of No. 16, Tower-areet, Seven
Dials, St. Giles ir. the Fields. The freehold was
[tared t-. he in the prsifeilion of Edward Glint. He
pylled for Sir Francis Bnr.'ett, and the word Jung
W:l5 OppOfite to his name. lie believed him to be the
f-une man. Cn being quettioned by the LORD CHIRP
.TUSTICI, as to the iden'ity, he laid, " it is my prefect
e:i(hing rrflia:lon and belief, that the perfon next to
Mr. Adolphus, on the left hand, now in Court, is
the man whole name has now been read front the
poll-boric." On his ctofs-examination, the witnels
laid, that the youth of the prithner 'truck him, as he
thought he was not of age to vote.
Mr. K. Harper laid, he was at Brentford on the
feeond day. He was on the huaings in the capacity
of infpeaor to Mr. Mainwaring, at the Weaminfter
Booth. He was there at the time, when a !whim
propofed to vote, as William Prince. When he of.
fered himfelf, the witnefs :Lazed him if he was of age.
The prifoner kid he was of age, and proceeded to
(late the fituation of his freehold. The witnels re-
marked to feveral perfons, lie thought the voter was
not of age, and this led him to make particular 0b...
fervation on his perfon. He faid he had very little
doubt the pralmer was the voter, and on beicg afked
by a juryman as to his conviction on this lubjed, he
at last declared he had no doubt.

Philip Prince laid, " I liye at No. 16, Tower-
flreet, Seven Dials. I know the initialer. I have
been acquainted with him for fome years. He lodged
in my hotife. I did fee him on the day he is laid
to have rolled at Brentford. On the fecund or third
day of theeleClion I went with him, but I will not
be furl on which of thofe days. I was only one day
there in the lira week. I went with the prifoner,
with Samuel Jenkins, his brother, and John Stuart.
Ile f.t:d he was going to Brentford to work. I well
untlerllood what he meant by worki,Q4."
Mr. ERSXIT.II-...." We do not want your under.
•(landii g. l)ir, we want only your feels."
Wionf.—" Fie laid, he Wei• going to Brentford to
work, and in my name. I law the prifoner go in
with Mr. Watfon. He entered the poll gate with
Watfon and Stuart. I did not fee him do any other
work at Brentfor el. After he had done the work, 1
law l•'— ; he then told me the work was done. He
frid he worked in my name, and his freehold was
Orint's hook, which I know very well. The houfe
is in Stone-cotter's-alley, not too yards from where I
live. The prifoner is a (hoe maker, and formerly
worked for me. He had no kit with him to work as
a fhoe maker. He told me he had worked in my
name, and his freehold was Grine:. honk. The work
he meant sva. the polling."
On his crofi.exaniination by Mr. CLIFFriID, he
laid, " I underltood the meaning of the word work.
It was not the firit time I had heard the exptelEon.
Watfon was there that day. On other days I was
at my own houfe, or about my hofinefs in London.
I attended the }tunings on the following week. to
prevent ECitious voters from polling." Being olked
if he was not then employed for that purpoie, he
laid, " I was not then engaged." Being preffed fur-
ther, i e laid, " the priforier's brother engaged fac-
titious votes, and he under flood the pi ifoner was to
have one guienea and a half, but be was not prefent
when the money was paid."
On his re-examination he laid, I had lent the
priloner lone laver ; and he I:tid, fr l would go to
die Globe, at Moot gate, to try to get the money, he
would repay me. I was to go over to the Commit.
tee, and fee if 1 could meet with Greenflade ; he, I
believe, and his brother, were partners to get votes.
He made his own agreement, which I thought was
one guinea and a half. The prifoner oblerved to
me, he had done it in prime Presi, anJ that Watfon,
(who is dead), was at his elbow, and heard what he
faid. Another rebuked him, and called him a fool,
and told him Watfon was of the oppofite party."
John Hunter, Efq. laid, he was attending the
Committee of the Houle of Commons, fitting to try
the merits of the Middle ea Ek.!tion. That the Com-
mittee did not tranfire bufinefe to-day, and lie looked
into the Court out of mere curiotity. Ile was a
friend to Mr. Mainwaring, and aflitted him doling
the eleCtion. He was not ftibpcened to attend. He
few the prifoner at the bar, and knew him to he the
Ifame that offered his vote. He recollected, Inc (the
winters) made the
_oblation to the admitliun of the

. ,
vote, under the doubt if the priCiner was twenty.one-
years of age. The °Nation was difpofed of by his
taking the oath. [The oath was now read by the
Clerk in Court.] " I did obfetve his perfon, and
knew him the moment I taw him here. I have no
doubt it is the man, and his ?erlon is'more itrongly
imprclred upon me, from having teen him after: I
hare no doubt he offered himfelt to poll in tome other
name ; and he, I think, was brought round on a
lubfequent day, for the pit:pole of b,:ing examined.
I h.tve no doubt of his perfon in my mind. I was
on the huttiligs every d.y of the elettion, excepting
two; I mentioned his young appearance to Mr Har•
per." On his trots-examination by Mr. Limas', on
being urged further, Mr. Hunter raid, he knew the
man immediately, and raid he lhould have reeognir-
ed him equally, whether he met him in the Court,
or in the Itreet.

John Goden raid, William Prince was the only per-
t-on under that name who voted for a freehold in
Stone Cuttet's-alley.
Samuel Smith and Charles Greenwood were clerks
to the Mercers' Company ; the one depofed, that he
entered the rents of the bottle of Grint, in Stone Cut-
ter's•alley, to the credit of that Company ; the other.
that he received fuch rents ; and both of them gave
teflimony that the freehold belonged to the Company.
Grint being called, faid his name was Eralmus,
not Edward ; that he occupied the honk in queflinn ;
that there is no other Stone Cutter's court, or alley,
in the neighbourhood ; and that lie had polfeffion of
the houle under the Mercers' Company. To them
he paid rent, and no perfon of the name of Prince or
Jenkins had at any time made a claim for fuch rent.
Here the cafe was concluding on the part of the
Crown, and Mr. ERSKINE had begun his addrefs for
the Defendant, when the SOLICITOR GENERAL inter-
poled, and
Mr. Madden was recalled, who further gave evi-
dence. that Wm. Jones was the perfon employed at
the book of the wiroefs, and that he had no doubt
this perfon was duly (worn. The clerks fubfcribed a
paper, and then were fworn four at a time.
Mr. Stidlow was examined, and he faid he had no
more doubt of Jones being fworn, than he had at
that titre of any gentleman in the Jury Box having
taken the oath prefcribed by the law for perfons in
fuch a fituation.

Mr. ER S Klm a reCumed his defence He commented
at great length on the team:my given by the feveral
witneffes, and he contended, that the evidence of
Prince ought to be wholly laid afide becaofe he had
(hewn his total difregard of the facred obligation of
an oath, by permitting a perfon (whether the pri.
loner or not was not material) to (wear in his
own name to a freehold, without making any dif-
covery of the crime, until he was called upon for
the purpofe of the prefent profecution. The Learn-
ed Coonlel laid, to conllitute the crime, there mull
he a breach of the oath ; and the crime fo charg-
ed under the flatute, mutt be an oath, taken un-
der the requifition of the candidates. Further, the
oath mull be received by a perfon having a right to
adminilter fuch oath. That perfon, on the prefent
occalion, was William Jones, and he was the only
man in the world who could give fatisfaftory evi-
dence to the Jury on this fubjeft. He was called.
but had not anfwered, and hence the proof was de-
ficient. He intreated the Jury to take the jolt dif-
tinetion between probability and certainty; they, or
he, might believe the prifoner to be guilty, but lei-
ther they, or any man in England, would be fafe in
their beds, if a Defendant were to be fubjeded to a
verdia againtt him on loch belief.
Lord ELL'. N B"1101:GH fummed up the evidence.—
" I am Pure the Learned Counlel ha. done, not only
his heft, but the belt that can be done for his client.
and he may return home with perfed fatisfaelion,
under the conviCtion of having fully and ably dif-
charged his duty. You have heard the evidence on
the part of the profecution ; might have been
encountered by contrary teilimony, and none is pro.
duced. No account is given of the prifoner, which
at all breaks in upon this evidenct. We have heard
much of the incompetence of Philip Noce, and
certain it is, that this man does not appear to feel
a high fettle of duty, or to have any delicate and
refined notions of moral obligation ; yet it mutt be
confidered, that even the evidence of an accomplice
is admiflible, and the Jury have it in their power
to difcnver, how far his depofitions are confirmed
by the other witnefres. There are three perfons who
depofe to the identity of the prifoncr. In point of
law, there is one particular which has been fiatedi
which I cc old have no objeCtion to have re-confi-
dered. The charge is, to fay the lean, daintily (fat-
ed in the indiament ; and if it be there predicated of
words ufed in the oath, then there is no proof of
the words; and alfo the real and fiClitious names
are obrcurely blended. At prefent, it does not ap-
pear to me there is an imputation on any of the wit-
nelfes, not even upon Prince ; for many perfons would
not like to be the accufer of another, who might fe.
riottfly fuller in confequence of fuch accufation. But
I mull not fay Prince isa man of nice fenfibiliry if he
kept company with the Defendant for one moment,
nor can we confider him to be of this charafter, fines
he himfelf received a part of the money, the price of
this fuppofed perjury, and difcharged with it his own
debt : but I do not think we mould go fo far as to
fay, that be is not, on this account, to be believed on
his oath. Mr. Hunter (peaks of the countenance of
the prifoner as familiar to him at the time of the elec-
tion. On the whole, it anpears to me, that the great
de lign of the adminittraiton of lattice mutt be difap-
inted if fuch evidence be not confidered futicient."
The Jury, after a (hors confultation, found the pri-
loner—Guilty.

All the Tickets in the prelent Lottery being clic.
poled of, the Contradots confented to a Bidding for
a new Lotter taking place before the other was
fi-
nilbed; and rtlerdAy the follow;ng parties waited on
the Minifier in Downing-greet to contra& for the
