COURT OF ROG'S BEN I, JUNK Mt

Till also V. iltll.l.lllS.
Mansfield Phillips, Efq. was brorght to receive
the judgment of the Court, having been conviaed of
fending a letter to Rees Thomas. Eq. a Gentleman
Ff Carmarthen, with an 'intent to provoke him to
fend a challenge to Mr. Phillips.
There were a great many counts in the indiement,
charging the letter as a chillenge,..lke. but of all
thefethe jury acquitted the Defendant,
Mr. CLIFFOI4I3, Cotmfel for Mr. Phillips, on a for.
mer day argued, in a very able manner, that the of-
fence laid in the indiBment, in this particular count,
and as found by the Jury, did not warrant the infer-
ence drawn from it, namely, that it had a tendency
to a breach of the peace. The Learned Counfel con-
tended, that, as the offence laid could not be com-
pleted by the Defendant ; but to make it an offence
cognizable at law, mull have the aid of another per-
' fon, over wlsons the Defendant could have no con-
, troul, it could not be be faid " to-have a tendency,"
but only 4, to tend to a tendency" to a breach of the
peace. The Learned Counfel on the other fide, hair-
ing adduced feveral ins ances to thew that this doc-
trine was not conclufive, but that the attempt to fu-
born a witnefs to give falfe teflimony, when, as in
the prefent cafe, the commialon of the crime mull
depend on the ad of another, was (lilt efteemed a
breach of the peace.
Mr. CLIFFOKD maintained that this argument did I
not, at all apply, for, that the cafes founded on the
ether fide wore interruptions of public juilice, which
were puuitbable in every point of view which could
be figured, erceat in the cafe of a perfon (landing in
the witneffes' box who might refute to anfw•cr a quer
Lion, lell it thouid criminate himfelf.

The Court, however, having difchasged the M..
reft of judgment,
An affidavit was produced from Mr. Phillips
dif-
claiming every thing like animofity againft Mr. Tho-
mas : that he thought Mr. Thomas wilhed to chal-
lenge him, and as a man of honour he was delimits
to afford him an opportunity of doing fo. Thit he
was a Lieuten3nt in the Sea Fencibles, and his fer-
vices were required in that line. .
Another affidavit was read from the Captain of
the Corps of Sea Fencibles to which Mr. Phillips
belonged, Rating, that in his opinion the abfence of
Lieut. Phillips would, at the prefent period, be ex,
tremely detrimental to the fervice.
—Mr. Easels', for the profecution, Paid it would
be a tlrangc thing to lay down as a doEtrine, that,
when an officer tranfgreffed the laws of his comm.',
any particular call whit!' there might be for him to
attend on a public fervice was to exempt him from
.puntfbrnent. Things mull, in fuel) a cafe, be critical
indeed. He had no doubt, Mr. Phillips was a, brave
officer, but he hoped his Malay could, in the lan-
guage of an old ballad, exclaim-

I trial I have within my realm
Five hundred good as he.

Mr. CLIFFORD wiflied to imprefs on the confider.
ation of the Conn, that, when the empire of futon
was reflored, Mr. Phillips estprefted bimfelf as feeling
no inimofity againft Mr. ThiSmas, or any with to dit.
turb the public peace.
Mr. Juflice Gaon enlarged On the dalgeriatzen-
ciant on difputes arifing from tontefted el:elions, and
ion the neceffity of fupprefling them. He iherefore
pronounced the lenience of the Court; adjudging the
Defendant to pay a fine of soot. and to find fecurity
hitisfelf ittsod. and two fureties in ssol. each, to keep
the peke for three years.
THE KING V. resstiOnast, &C.
Colonel Paffingham and George Edwards, were
brought up to receive judgment f,r an offence of
which they had been found guilty before Lord Ellen-
borough and a Special Jury, at Weßnaiofier, in eon-
fpiring to defame a Gentleman of the name of For-
retie!, and to fix on him a crime, the moft detefiable
which man can commit.

....
The report of the care, though great part of it was
filled up with difgulling faits, which Lord Et.t.sa-
BOROUGH, in reciting the evidence, thought fit to fur
prefs, occupied a confiderable tirhc. It appeared in
evidence, that the Defendant had not only accufed
the Profecutor of the crime in quellion but that he
had done fo to cover a defign on the Profecutor's wife ;
to obtain, in this manner, prdeffion of the Profecu-
tor's ellate ; and to render him hateful in the eyes of
his family.
Counfel were heard on both fides, and an affidavit
was filed by Colonel Paffingliam, in jollification of
what he had Paid and done, in which he declared
that he would fooner die than have it fufpeeled that
he had uttered what .he had, unlefs he had known it
to be a fa& —The priforiers were ordered to be re-
manded, and to be brought up on an after day.
