LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF kING'S BENCH, JUNE It
THI KING v. VALBNTINE JONES, ESQ.
The Defendant was brought into Court to receive
the final sentence of the Court for his offence in de-
trauding Government of 87,0001. in the West Indies,
in the short space of nine months.
Mr. Justice GROSE recapitulated the charge against
him, and observed that his offence was of the most
enormous nature. His course was plain and direct,
but he stepped aside from motives of gross avarice
There never was a peculator who, in so short a space
f them. committed. such a fraud, and it appeared
that the sum received by him was only one half of
/what the Government was defrauded of. In his of ii-
' daVit in mitTgaibit of punishment, be had shewn no
contrition or remorse, and it was not to be hoped that
panisfunent could correct a disposition so depraved,
he must however be punished severely to deter others.
It mar strange • that he had, notwithstanding, a good
character .given him by the testimony of several of
bisAriends. Such a character' few men could de-
serse, and it was almost incredible that it could justly
belong to him. If it did,he could only regret that
• belskould not have set the due value upon his chitiac.
t 1, but should have so overlooked his duty and his
best, interesti.
The Court taking, all the circumstances into consi-
deratieni, adjaditelum to be imprisoned three years in
his Majestrs OW of Newgate, and to be incapable of
serreas his Majesty in any place of trust, or office
whatsoever...
Vnth
t, to die money which he had fraudu-
len* oterd, Mr. Justice Grose said, he could not
anticipate what proceedings may be had against him.
The Cain' cotdi only punish according to the due
course of proceedlog before them.

Mir; Jutioe Piton pronounced the judgment of the
Court upon the two defendants, convicted of a con-
ste'llacy, to bpi/Stets One John Hague, to put him to
exknce; and td rob hi'm of his good name and credit
by week :charging him with being the father of a
child, of whom another was the father. The Learned
Judge told the defendants, that after a long and an
attentive invntigation of this case, they had been
both found guirty by a Jury of their country, of an
enormous Mime, and for which they were now to re-
, ciiire thisente'Ateil the Court. The offence of which
thc defeildant-Tialhall been guilty was twofold, that
of perjury and • subornation of perjury—for he had
prevailed on anothe person to commit perjury, in
swearing this Child'Sto Hague, to bring upon him both
expence and diagrate. It was not necessary for the
Court to inquire into the fact of who was the father of
this child; it was' Wfcient to establish that Hague
was not the fathei: Although there was some reason
or:suspect that Teal was himself that father, it was
to be hoped that he was not, for if he was, his crime
was still more horrible ; for it would be a case
in which he not only caused another to be sworn to
be the father, but also abandoned his offspring. As
to the excellent character which had been given to
the defendant Teal, it could only be reconciled, by
supposing that he had the address to conceal from his
neighbours his own real disposition; and had, there-
fore, a good character when he deserved a bad one ;
for he had been guilty of that which could never be
the act of an honest man. Considering all the cir-
cumstances of this case, attending to the expence
which the defendant had to defray, and the length of
time he had already suffered imprisonment, the Court
did order and adjudge, that T. Teal, for this his of-
fence, be further imprisoned in the Castle at York for
six calendar months, and that Sarah Cumberland,
who was not so deeply involved in guilt as the other
c.,nspirator, be imprisoned in the same jail for three
calendar months; and that they now be committed
to the King's Bench Prison, in execution of this sen-
tence.

information had been received from Manchester, by
J. Selicole, Esq. that twd bills of exchange had been
inckiied to hien, in a letter directed to Baker's Coffee-
house. Mr.. Biggs, the owner of the Coffee-house,
proved that he received the letter, and that shortly
after it was missing. Suspicion fell on De Young,
becaiise he had introduced a man, who has since ab-
sconded, to'a Mr. Annesley, a bill-broker, to have
one of these bills discounted, and on another occasion,
be in perscn obtained cash from a Mr. Farmer, for
the other Bill. J. Selicele proved that the indorse-
ment purporting to be the hmd writing of Joshua
Leigh Selicole, his brother, Was a forgery. .
