ORK, JULY 29.
ALDBOROUGH ELECTION.—ADDY V. CASS.
Mr. SCA RLETT stated the plaintiff's case. Mr. Ro-
bert Addy, a freeman of Aldborough, brought this
action against the defendant, who was Returning
Officer for the Election of Members of Parliament
for Aldborough, to recover a compensation in da-
mages, for having cbrruptl) conspired to deprive the
plaintiff of his vote. The fact of corrupt motives
would iw established from the declarations of the de-
fendant, that he would do all he could to return such'
a candidate as should be nominated by the Duke of
Newcastle, and leaving no doubt that he meant to
reject the plaintiff's vote, with that of others, in order
that he might secure his object. It became necessary
to state, that on a previous qtie,tion, with respect to
the right of voting for Member of Parliament for this
Borough, the matter had been referred to a Com-'
mittee of the House of Commons. It having been
set up by interested individuals, that none but, Bur-
gesses were entitled to vote, it was finally settled by
an Act of Parl.ment, known by the name of the
Grenville Act, that every person who occupied a te-
nement, and paid scot and lot, whatever that tene-
ment might be, within the township or Borough of
Aldborough, should be entitled to vote. To this an
obstacle was again interposed, it being determined
that none should be entitled to vote who did not pos-
sess a right of common. That pretext being beaten
down by another Act of Parliament, the next en-
croachment upon the popular right of vote in such as
paid scot and lot, was a pretence by this defendant of
" ancient usage." The fact was, that Aldborough
having been an ancient Roman military station, had
been surrounded by high walls, of which no trace
could be now found except the foundation,which was
under ground. This the defendant pretended to dis-
tinguish as the limits of the Borough, so as to exclude
the plaintiff's right of vote because he happened to
reside a few yards beyond this ancient wall. But
prior to this the defendant had rejected the plaintiff's
vote, on the pretence that he had not paid his poor
rates, which happened from his having tendered a
101. note, in payment, for which he could not then
get change. This objection was removed by his say-
ing, " I am ready to pay it now." -..1t was then only
that this formidable objection was made, namely, that
the right of vote must be confined within the town-
ship, and of which the limits were bounded by this
Roman wall. The first pretence they set up was, that
none could vote without they possessed a right of
common; this the House of Commons beat down;
and now, to serve the interest of. the Duke of New-
elide, the defendant set up this ancient Roman wall,
the Learned Counsel hoped the Jury would
also knock down.

and has been present at elections. Did not know why people
came to vote, but they all voted. He did net know nothing about

they had not got a common tight. Never had nobody-to think
about but himself. Did not know nothing about the walls;
nothing more could be seen of them only beneath the ground.
'Witness does not know whether Butcher-close, where the plain-

never heard any distinction made as to the Township being within
or without thaltraleil He-mentioned several names of those who
lived at Butcher-cline that had voted. Thomas Blackburn, John
Harrison, John D'Acre, and several others. The practice was to
vote by the house-roll; those who had no right of common, were
not rejected.

, CIVIL SIDE.

TIRE KIND V. UR RDwili RAYNTIJN SANDTs, BART.
This was an indictment against the defendant for
fraudulently.obtaining.from one Frederick Ferdinand
Almsteed Steele. attorney at law, a bill of exchange
for tf.'.so, under-the false pretence of getting it dis-
counted. Thee indictment had been found At the
Sessions,.and removed into the Court of King's Bench
at the ins.anceiof the defendant.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor, an
attorney at Leamington, in Warwickshire, that he
had been for a considerable time professionally con-
cerned for the defendant, who was indebted to him
to the amount of one thousand pounds and upwards,
and who at the time of the transaction in question
was a prisoner for debt, confined within the Rules of
the King's Bench prison, and residing at 10, Temple-
place, St. George's-fields. In the.month of Apt il,
1821, the prosecutor, being himself jn want of
money, called upon the defendant at his lodgings,
with a full. knowledge of his embarrassed circum-
stances, and asked him if he could get him a bill of
exchange for fifty pounds discounted ? The bill was
accepted by an attorney named Everest, of Shepton
Mallet, Somersetshirc, a friend of the prosecutor.—
In answer to the query, the defendant said he had no
doubt he could- get it discounted by the morrow, and
said that if tl3e prosecutor would call at 11 o'clock next
morning, he should be able to get the money by that
time. This was all that then passed. Next morning
the prosecutor waited upon the defendant at eleven
o'clock for the money. The defendant was not within
at the time, but the prosecutor learnt from the de-
fendant's son that his father had got the money, but
was just about to pay it away to a Mr. Wells. About
ten yards from the defendant's lodgings the prosecu-
tor saw him in conversation with Mr. Wells, and re-
proached him with his breach of confidence, in
paying the produce of his bill to the latter person :
and at the same time told Mr. Wells that the money
did not belong to the defendant, and that if he took
it the bill should' not be paid when at maturity. Mr.
Wells, however, having received the money, got into
his gig. and drove off. The defendant, in excuse for
his conduct, said, that he was exceedingly pres-ed for
money, and was obliged to dispose of it in the manner
mentioned, but faithfully promised to repay it next
morning if he pawned his watch, or sold Lady
Sandy e-jewels. The money, however, was not forth-
coming next day, and the-defendant made repeated
promises afterwards to pay the money, but they were
all broken. This transaction took place on the 7th
of April, and on the 16th of the month the prosecu-
tor went out of town. In order to meet this bill,
another was intrusted by the prosecutor to the de-
fendant to get discounted. When the first became
due, the prosecutor' was obliged to take it up ; at
least it was satisfied out of an execution against the
prosecutor's effects, at the suit of the acceptor. The
prosecutor himself afterwards took the benefit of the
Insolvent Debtors Act, and had returned in his sche-
dule the amount of the bill of exchange in question,
as a debtdue to him from the defendant. ' This was
the whole of the case for the prosecution. No other
witness was examined to support the indictment.
Mr. ADOLPHUS (with whom was Mr. PLATT ) con-
tended, that the indictment bad completely failed,
no false pretence having been established, inasmuch
as the prosecutor himself had solicited the negocia-
tion of the bill of exchange in question. The utmost
the defendant was guilty of was a breach of promise;
and as well might a man be charged with a false
pretence who had bought goods and promised to
pay fur them by a glee° time, but was unableto
perform his promise.

would more properly be described by the witnesses
than by the Counsel. •
The first witness called was James Bayley, the
father of the deceased, and of course fathet•in-law
to the, prisoner. Ile was quite blind, and being very
old and decrepit, was examined sitting at the table.
He stated that helived in the house with the pri-
soner and his wife previous to the unfortunate event
in question. In the evening of the 19th of March,
they had retired to rest as usual, without any appear-
ance of quarrel. Between six and seven o'clock on
the following morning he was alarmed by loud
noises in the cellar, over which his own bedroom
was situated ; they were a mixture of crying and
shrieking, which he knew, by the voice, came from
his daughter. He got up, dressed as fast as he could,
and went into the sitting-room, to which his daugh-
ter came from the cellar, and sat on a chair. From
what she said, he understood she was much bust ;
but being blin I, he could not tell in what manner.—
She lived till the morning of the 25th of March,
when she died. Her husband had left the house be-
fore she came out of the cellar; and did not return
till the following night, when he said nothing, but
went up to bed.
Ann Calkin, the daughter of the prisoner and the
deceased, remembered hearing cries and shrieks from
the cellar, between six and seven on the morning of
the 20th of March. She was then in bed, but she
rose, and went dowri into the cellar. Her father passed
her on the stairs, and on going down she found her
mother sitting on a barrel, and complaining of pain
in her head. The deceased came up stairs, and sa.
on a chair lir half an hour, then went out to Mrs.
Pope's, a neighbour's house, and on her return went
to bed. She never recovered sufficiently to work, but
remained ill till the 25th March, when she died.
Mr. Martin, a surgeon at Shelton, stated that he
was called in to attend the deceased on the 23d of
March. SEe was then down stairs and sitting in a
chair. He found marks of violence on her head, face,
neck, and shoulder, which were greatly discoloured
and swollen. She was unable distinctly to articulate,
in consequence of the swelling of her tongue, which
might have been occasioned either by its being caught
between the teeth, or by external violence. The next
day the swelling was increased, and the patient
weaker.. The witness attended her till her death. He
did not open the head, because the Inquest Llid not
think it necessary, and the friends did not desire it ;
but he had no doubt that the external violence was
the cause of the death.
In answer to questions put by Mr. Baron GA RROVI,
Mr. Martin added, that he thought the death was
immediately caused by the inability of the system to
struggle through.the inflammation, which would not
yield to any remedies. The swelling must hive been
caused by repeated blows.
Mrs. Pope was called to repeat the account given
by the deceased herself of the cause of her suffering;
but as it did not appear that, at the time she gave it,
she was under the immediate apprehension of ap-
proaching death, it could not be received in evidence.
Mr. Bayley was then called back, and asked whe-
ther the deceased had ever expressed to him a belief
that she should not recover? He replied that she
had repeatedly done so; and was then asked whether,
afterwards, she disclosed anything respecting the vio-
lence she received? The witness stated that she told
him her husband had struck her five times on the
head, and once on the shoulder, and then violently
knocked her head against a beam in the cellar.
The prisoner being called on for his defence, said,
gs I came home again on. Thursday night, and went
up to bed, and my wife and I were as comfortable
as ever we had been in our lives till she departed."--
He begged that his daughter might be asked whe-
ther her mother did not, as he was lifting her out of
bed to make it more easy, on the day before her,
death, say that she should die, but laid the fault on
the bad management of the surgeon. The daughter,
however, could not recollect that any such expressions
were used by her mother.
Mr. Baron GAR Row recapitulated the evidence,
and the Jury immediately found the'prisoner Guilty.

too recently to be generally known, he should, in
this case, so nearly approaching to murder, have felt
bound to inflict the severest punishment in his power.
The sentence on the prisoner was, that he should be
imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the Houseof
Correction for three years.

It appeared in evidence that the prisoner Hudson,
the deceased, and others, were at a wake at You%
on the Bth of July, and had been drinking at a public-
house from ten o'clock in the evening till daybreak

of them were ill he shewed great anxiety ten their

Mr. Baron GA mow, in addressing the J in-y, strorglv
animadverted on the conduct of the publican who
hid permitted the drinking till daybreak at his pie-
mises, and called the attention of the Magis.r.ccs cf
the district to the better regulation of the wake, s!inu d
it be suffered to continue.' He stated the ev.l.tence,
and observed, that if they believed it, they coald ea-
tertain little doubt of the guilt of both the prisoner...
The Jury, however, found Hudson Guilts, and
acquitted Walthew.
Mr. Baron Gaattow said that Walthew ha i been
a most fortunate man. Had he been found guilty
by the Jury, he would have received a NI revere;
sentence than Hudson, who had some excuse of irri-
tation and warmth to plead. The sentence 0., dud-
son was, that he should be imprisoned and kept to

The trial of prisoners-6 idled this evening, :tier
one of the lightest Assizes ever remembered in the
c .unty. Only two causes remain to be diposed of
on Monday in the Civil Court. In conseque ce of
the little business at Stafford, and the great nv vire
expected at Shrewsbury, the Judges have de, r fined
