CONSPIRACY.

dame 1 Dm, wag criminally indilled for having.
with four other plutons, entered into a. eonfpirazy,
tinjufily to prevent John Hathaway, a bankrupt,
from obtaining his certificate, after having made a
full and fair dtfclof►re of his drafts, to the fatisfac
tion of the Commilßoners of Bankrupt, and of all ths
lawful ereditors.
The profecution was opened by Mr. Gteins, and
the cafe fisted by Mr. ALIA'', in an addrefs to the
Court and Jury, of nearly an hour and a half in con-
tintrance. _ _

. .....
From CAI Ratement h appeared, that Mr. Hath-
away had held a confidential lituation in the Bank
of England, and was betide engaged in another
branch of trade on his private account. That being
preffed for money to make up his payments, he was
induced to apply to the prifoner, a man of force ce-
lebrity among the tribe of money lenders, for Ile.
commodation ; which, however, he was enabled to
obtain, only by fubmitting to a moll exorbitant and
ruinous rate of htterell, fuch as it was impoffible for
the profits of any trade, however lucrative, long to
Main. That the conlignence was, as might have
been very raturally expelled, Mr. Hathaway be-
came a banks upt ; and on furrendering to his credi
tors, upon oath, a jail fchedule of all his debts and
effees, and the nature of them, making, as he was
bound, a full difclolure of every account affeeing his
ellate, the mature of (mu past of • debts, due to
the prifoner, and another man, named Barrow, ap-
pearing to be.groftly ufurious, they were of courfe
prevented, by the Bankrupt Laws, from proving
their claim* under the Statute. The prithrser had
endeavoured to induce Mr. Hathaway to snake It
falfe reprefentation to the Commiffioners on his be-
half, by concealing the nature of the real tranfatlions
between them, which Mr. Hathaway very properly
refufed ; in confequenee of which the prifoner Davis
threatened Mr. Hathaway roundly, that he would
prevent his getting his certificate ; anal the confpiracy
was formed for that purpnle between the prtfr.ner
Davis, Barrow, a man named Wintle, a working
filverfmith, a man named Kauai, and a woman
named Graven.in order to implicate and iweAr againil
Mr. Hathaway a charge of having 101 l money at un-
lawful gaming, within twelve months previous to
his bankruptcy ; which charge, if proved to the
amount hf 501. altogether irt the year, or 51. at any
one time, would, under the Bankrupt Laws, have
precluded the bahkrorpt from nht:iiiiing his certificate.
They employed a man named M'Clatchin, the Cie, k
of an Attorney, to draw up this affidavit, in which
Wroth was to Iwear, that Mat ryat Came to his hassle
to buy fume goods, in company with Mr. Hathaway :
that Hathaway, there feeing a pack of cards upon
the chimney-piece, propofed playing wish Marryat
for a guinea, to be fpent for a hipper that night :
that the pasties accordingly did play fnme games at
Put, in which Hathaway loft to Marrjat eleven gui
neas. Upon this affidavit a petition to the Chancel
for was founded, and figned by the prilimer Davis
and Barrow, praying that Hathaway's certificate
might not be ligned, klis application to the Loaral

ettaitces.Lot for tie certificate was in eoliferpience
refuted. He remained in prifon for force time, and
was only enabled to procure his enlargement finally,
by figning a Warrant of Attorney to pay the •pli.
loner the whole of his debt, of which he had paid a;
confiderable part fince his enlargement, but was In
harrafTed and perfecuted by Mt. Davis, by execution
after ezccutinn, and inch rninout law expences, as
to be driven to taloa! dillraelion and infinity, in one
of the parosifms of which he had thrown himfelf out
of his bedchamber window, And miraculoufly efeaped
being dallied to pieces, Inn h.td ever fince continued
in a wretched Rate of healeh.

For this confpiracy, Melds. Wintle. Illarryar Bar-
row. with Mrs. Graven. had been profecuted, and
cnnvieed lad feirions. The prifoner, Davis, had then
put off his trial, upon the llrength of an affidavit,
that he could not rarely go to it without the tettimo.
ny of a material witnefs. It would be ken by the
prodneion, or nonappearance of that witnefs today,
how far that affidavit Was entitled to regard i—and
if he did appear, his eras-examination would hell
prove to what degree of credit he fhnuld be entitled.
A principal witnefs who this day would be examin-
ed for the profecution, was a man named M'Clatchin,
an attorney's clerk, and the very perfon who had
been employed by the confpirators to draw up the
falfe affidavit before mentioned. It would, mod
probably, be objeeed againil this man's teltimony,
that it was unworthy of credit-.--as being that of a
co-confpirator—a partkepe eriminir. But it mod be in
the recolleftion of every man, who knew any thing of
the political agitatinns which fume time fince unto!,
innately took place in the filler country, that the tel.
timony of confpirators ageing their accomplices, even
in crimes of a much more enormous nature, if pod
fible, than the prefent—critnes, tot inftance, of high
treafon and confpiracy for the fithvetlion of the
Rate—had been deemed valid for the capital cowrie-
tion of the accomplice, even without the fupport of a
fecond witnefs. But, in ordinary cafes, it had never
bein denied in legal nage, that the tettimony of ac-
complices, when fupported by other Credible croi-
' dente, was good.
The Mt witnefs was Mr. John Hathaway, who
trid he had been nine years a Clerk in the Bank, and
had firlt known the prifoner about nine years ago.—
That wanting to have a bill dikounted, he was in-
duced to apply to him as a money-lender. He did
not ds the firft bill, but did a fecond, giving the wit-
neli part in goods and part in money : but finding
that too exorbitaht a mode of doing bufinef,, he did
hirgelf afterwards apply to the Filmier, and pro-
pole rather to pay a certain high premium at once
for money, than take any more goods. The rate
fettled was owe pound for tea, or few for, fifty, upon
all toms advanced to him, on bills payable in fix
weeks or two months. This rate he continued regu-
larly to pay to'the prifoner until the year 'Boo. when
he became a Bankrupt. A little before that, the bills
outftanding with the Defendant, and another man,
named Barrow, amounted to goof. Finding himfelf
embarraffed in his circumflances, be fent them tool.
and thus reduced the debt one-third. He &only
after was declared a Bankrupt. Upon his examina-
tion before the ConimilGoners, Davis and Barrow
both attended, but were not allowed to prove their
debts. Upon the day of the fir ft examination. the
prifoner met the witnefs at Guildhall Coffee-honk,
who wanted him to fay, on his examination, that his
dealings with him were -for goods, and to fay nothing
about the "furious premium. Bet whalers refuted,
and anfwered, his Solicitor knew all ; and advifed
him not to attempt to prove the debt. The prifoner
Paid, he had better let him prove, or the witnefs
thould pot have his certificate. He attempted to
prove, on the fink and fecond meeting, but was hot
allowed; and on the third meeting, the prifonet eni-
ployed Mr. Marryatt, the Counfel in this cattle, who
laid, as the panner had before declared, " It was
no matter, the witnefs Ibould not have his mil&
tate." The prifoner afterwards told the witnefs, he
would find plenty of witnetfes to prove they had woo
of him by 4amblincabove aryl. at a time. Subic-
vent to they the wanes was refilled his certificate
by the Lord Chancellor, and he was fent to the
King's Bench Pi icon on the 9th of Novembet.
:Roo. A few days after, a man, whole name is
really Wintle, came to the Odin. enquired for the
witned, who was brought to him by a pet fon named
Samuel Hill, his chum, in his lodging-room. Win
tie laid, his name was Bell, and he came to advife
the witnefs as a friend. offering, if he would pay Isl.
to procure his difcharge next day. He came as an
agent from Mr. Barrow. Witnefs totally-a:teed
the propotth laying. he (tumid thortly have Its cer-
tificate. Wintle then laid, they would petition againft
his certificate, and could set plenty of people to
prove gambling againfl him. Witnefs faid, they
could not, as he never played. To which Wintle
replied, he wculd adrift witnefs to accede, as Bar
row was a man that wnuld find people to (wear any 1
thing. Here Wintle went away : witnefs few him
in di Ruing a light at the door going out, as to be,
Pure of his perdin. He faid, his name was Bell, and I
he lived at No. 9, Broad-dreet, Bloomfbury. The
witnek was afterwards obliged to procure his libera-
tion, by figning a warrant of attorney, for his whole
debt, to the prifoner; andi after his liberation, went
to the honk of Wintle, in Twiller's-alley, near Moor-
fields, along with Samuel Hill. He immediately
recognized Wintle, as the perfon who called on him
in the King's Bench hut Wintle totally difclaimed
all perfonal knowledge of the witnefs, or having
ever hen him before. Witnefs afterwards paid live.
rat inflalments of the debt, and was f ly perk-
tined by the prifoner. He mat him, and talked to
him of the enormity of sets he had committed in
getting people to (wear tidily, in order to injure
him ; and went Co far as to threaten him with legal
punilhmenti The prifoner anfwered." he had made
no oath." Witnefs faid, lie procured others to do
it, which was as bad. The prifiner replied, " then
you Mould have differed me to prove my debt ; and
it fo. you would have had your certificate, and I
ihnuld ha re affilled you. Btu I don't regard your
threats ; you know I can always beat you." The
witnefs (wore he never played at fur, or any other
game, in the honk of Wintle, or elfewheee, with
hi.erryatt, as was (worn by Wintle; and that /10111
nine o'clock in the morning, on the day he was fo
Elated to hate played, until nine the next, he was at
a li.ufe near KentiCh Town, in company with two
men, rained li.,rlow and Vs'iley. ( the tan was al•
terwa.ds proved by Ballow).
*Vile v.itnels underwent a very long cofs ear:dumb

sty and addthr. of the Learned latrine' were at full
firetch to filake his terlinsony. All that he could
obtain was. that he hoped for his certificate in cafe
of conirialon that he was for a enntiderable time
deranged in c'nfequence of the petfeernion he had
tunable& and was am extremely nervous, from the
accident which was the confer:pleats of his derange-
ment. The withers was often irritated, end ire'
quently retorted upon the learned &cicala, but was
clear and confident in every tittle of his tettimony
Samuel Hill Was the nest wittier.. His tettlitiony
was (port, and, In far as it went, fultained that of the
preceding wiinefs.
The next witnefs was Alexander M'Clatchin, who
raid he was Clerk to Mr. Morley, an attorney. In
'Soo he attended the examination of Mr. Hathaway
before the Coinmiffioners of Bankruptcy, and law
the prisoner and Barrow there endeavouring to prove
their debts. On the fecund meeting the prifoner Da-
vis attempted to prove f.-.r tool. but would not be al-
lowed. After the fecond meeting, he few Davis
and Barrow together ; and they Aced the wispefs. if
the proof of gaming within metae months would
not debar the bankrupt of his certificate Wiate,s
anfwered, certainly ; the proof of his holing Sl. at
any one fitting would do it. Davis, the prifoner,
luggettild the impoffibility of fuch proof. Barrow
anfwered, there were people enough to be found who
would prove it for a trifle ; and it Davis wined bear
half the extreme, he would engage to get it &inc.—.
Davis (aid he would do that, or any thing etre, If
punifh filch a rcotindrel. On the 13th or 14th No.
vember, witnefs raw Bartow, who called on him.
and they went together to the Black Lion in Saint
Martin's le Grand. There they Met Wintle, Marty.
att, Mrs. Graven, and shortly afterwards Davis
Came in. They talked about card playing, and it
was agreed that Barrow firould petith,n againlt the
bankrupt's certificate. in order to which Wind.
Should (wear that Metryat had won eleven guineas
from the bankrupt at Wintle's hnufe, and this was
to be fupported by another affidavit from Mrs. Gra-
ven, to the fame Cleft. Barrow and Davis agreed
to pay the expence ; and the which" by their direc-
tion, drew the affidavits, and read i,t before them
all, and it was approved Wintle and Marryat both
aiked for a minute defcription of the bankrupt's per-
fun, which they never had teen, and received a to-
lerably accurate defcription from Davis and Bar-
row. Bairow then called Davis out into the pane
—they shortly after returned. and put down two
guineas each to pay the crpences, and Davis went
away ; upoa which the others returned Barrow his
two guineas; laid, what they did was to terve him,
=id he mutt be at no espenee. (Here the affidavit)
was produced, and read in Cquri.) la two dap,.
afterwards the grimes met Winder who as Mir
was not quite clear of the defeription
.given him btir
Davis And Barrow, he had gene the night befog* to.
the King's Bench pane, on puerile to fee Hath-
away, and had fpoken to him, but it was in the dui,
and he Rill was not clear. Upon which the whiles
with Marryat went again with Win:le. and contrived
to procure him a diftind opportunity of tieing Hath-
away in the open day. They then fwore and filed
the affidavit, and lodged the petithrn. Betides there
two affidavits another affidavit was drawn by the
witnefs, fupporting the former ones, to which a man,
whom Barrow Paid was named Lewis, was to fwear ;
but when this man came, he proved to be S limos
Levi, the nephew of Barrow. The violas, M.Clat-
chin, though he had figned his affidavit with Leal,
refufed to fwe_r it ; but Bartow procured a Jew in
his place for "we fiatier, to perforate the wieners
and (wear the affidavit, ahci it was filed with the ten.
The witnefs then underwent a long croft ex-
amination by Mr. MAIIITOTT, the tendency of
which was to invalidate his credibility, by bringing
lions his owe mouth the acknowledgment of hia be-
ing an accomplice.
Here terminated the principal evidenee-4or a
man named Byrn, who attempted to give evidence,
was fomuch intoxicated, as scat cely to be intellibible.
Mr. Serjeant Bast then addreffed the Jory—divi.
ding the evidence into three points ; he conteildeda
that not a tittle of the tellimony that had been gired
was legally admiffible agairin his client. In the fitn)
witnels was °brio ufly tannic—the lecond,by his own
acknowledgement, was guilty of the molt atrocious
' crimes end perjaries—and the third, ro drunk, as to
he wholly unintelligible ; and therefore, any tali-
moray coming from fuch men, he hoped, would ne-
ver be received by a refpeaable Court and Jury, to
the irreparable ruin of a repelable charafter. , He
produced feveral witneffes to chat-atter.
The CHAIIMAII, in fumming rip the evidence, could
by no means agree with the learned Serjeant id the
alledged infanity of the hrlt witnefs, who, on the
contrary, bad (*need the dearth! I.ettpicuity and
continency through the whole of it.
The Jury, after a very Short deliberation, returned
their verditna—Guilty.
