drew Hill was an Officer of Excife, in the depart-

Stich was the fiiblieriee of the information.
The affidavit of Philip Hamlin Was offered to
the Coin. It -eaprifed his with to make eiery
atonemeit for his offence—that he fincerely re-
pented his 191ation of the lair by the attempt he
bad made to corrupt. bis.Majefty's Minider; and
that he threw himfelf on the mercy of the Cohn.
It added, that he had a wife and family; whom
he fupported by`carrying on the Ikatinefs of a Tin-
Mari, to, which he devoted his whole time, and
that - imprtfotunent would be materially injurious

difpenfible."
Mr. EILSKINE-.—lg I fubfcribe to ever'', thing that
has fallen from the Attorney ,General, and I am
perfuaded the defendant now before you muff feel
grateful for the mildnefs with which he has addref-
led the Court. I do believe there never was a
country or an age in which public men in high
flotations were fo far from the touch of corruption,
as at the prefent period ; and I molt readily fub-
fcribe to all my Learned Friend has (aid, as to
the impoffibility of fuch an offer having the leaft
effea upon the individual feelings of the perfon to
whom it was addreffed, except urging him to do
that which I fhould have blamed him, if he had
not done. With regard to confiderations of a
public nature, it was impoffible for the Chancellor
of the Exchequer to have mit this Letter in the
fire.—My Lords, the unfortunate perfon on the
floor, after having in a rafh and unguarded mo-
ment, written this letter, did every thing in his
power to atone for it. Upon the authority of what
I have read in the cafe of the King v. Vaughan, I
might fuggeft a doubt whether it was a crime to
fend fuch a letter as this: In that cafe Lord Manf-
field Paid, there was fufficient ground for a motion
in arreft of judgment, but to me it appears, that
to fend fuch a letter as this, the one addreffed by
the defendant, is a flagrant mifdemeanor ; yet, I
omit, it will not be viewed in fo ferious a light,
when fome of the circumftances attending it are
confidered.—Your Lordfhips will obfarve, that
the moment this perfon was aware of what he had
done, he wrote a letter full of refpea to Mr. Ad-
dington, and apologifed for his conduit, but his
apology was too late, and this profecution had
commenced. This poor Tinman, accuftomed only
to the noife of his own hammer, might think that
every thing paffed under the hammer, and that
it was only riecefrary, to give a perfon who had
the difpofal of an office, his price for it. It
would have been attended with much worfe con-
fequences, if the attempt to bribe had been made
on inferior perfons, who might not have had vir-
tue enough to have refitted the touch of gold.--
The defendant's charader does; not fland before
ymir Lordfhips in, the faMe point of view as in or-
dinary cafes. When perfons are mcufed of offences
sigma the revenue, your Lordfhips have affida-
vits to charadter tendered to you, which you are
bound to pats over. Here you have it proved,that
the defendant is a peaceful, hOneft, and virtuous
tiadefman in the town of Plymouth ; his charac•
ter is bronght befOre you by the two Clergymen
of the plaCe where he refides, perfons of the utmott
refpedability, who have come forward to (late
what they knew of him. If the Rev. Gentlemen
who have borne tettimony in his favour, had not
beet) perfuaded he was deferving of it, they would
not have thorn this occarion to have given him
their Kotddion. Their doing fo convinces me,
that it is not only in kr of good nature on their
parts; btit that in dll refpeds, except in the pre-
, fent inflame, the defendant is a deferving perfon.
His chiratter is confirmed by feveral perfons of
tank,who an have no with to impofe on the Court.
I fhould hope, therefore, that your Lordfhips
will thinE this profecution is brought forward only
as an additional mark and proof of that public
confidence to which perfons entrufted with the
ttereifie of the High Offices of State, are entitled,
ind that the Court will not deem this unfortunate
*fon unworthy its humane confideration."

made abfolute.

'PRIVAT V. ULMES.
This anion was brought for the recovery of an
annuity of tool. granted by the defendant, a Sur-
geon, to the plaintiff, a young woman, who had
lived *ith him. At the trial two grounds of de-
fence were fct up : 1. That the conlideration was
illegal, as being•againft good manners; and 2.
That the annuity was void, not having he►n re-
giftered under Lord Loughbol•ough's An. The
firft objedion was removed by the Jury declaring
the confideration to be pafi fervices ; and the fe-
cond being referred,to the Court, was now argped.
The only queftion was, Whether the annuity was
voluntgry, as it is only annuities that are fold that
the at requires to be regiftered ? After much in-
genious reafoning by Mr. GAR.ROW and Mr. PELL,
on the one fide, and Mr. ERSKINE and Mr. Gums

COURT OF COMMON NAAS, NOV. 20.
SIMEIN V. REID AND IRVIN.

This action was brought to recover the firm of
1241. being the value of four pipes of Madeira loft
on their ;mirage homewards in December, 18or,
which Madeira the defendant had engaged to in-
fure, but neglected to do fo. Mr. Simkin, the
plaintiff in this cafe, a man of the moll refpeetabler.
character, and who is keeper or proprietor of the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, Ssrand, in the month
of April, iBoi, fens an order to the houfe of Scott.
and Co. in Madeira, for four pipes of wine, which
were accordingly !hipped for hini, and OH's** ex-
change to that value drawn on the plaintiff, pay-
able to Meffrs. Reid and Irvin, merchants, in
London. As Mr. Simkin was a than of the ftrieeft
integrity, there was no hefitation In the franc-
aCtion. On the gth of June following tf4 bills
were prefented and accepted by the plaintiff.
On the part of the plaintiff,
Henry Simkin, his fon, Hated; that on the sth
of June, 113'or, a perfon called. at his father's houfe
with the bills of exchange, who faid, that he was
clerk to the defendants; that he (the witnefs) was
prefent during.the converfation that paired between
them, in the courfe of which his father afked the
clerk whether Mr. Scott had raid any thing about
infurance ? The clerk anfwered that he had not ;
but faid at the fame tithe, that if the plaintiff
wifhed to have the wines infured, the defendants
would do it for him ; his father replied, "by all
means, as he did riot chufe to run any rillt." The
witnefs in Deeeinber following called at the de-
fendants' houfe, when Mr. Reid told him that the
yeffel on board of which the wines had been (hip-
ped was loft, and added, that he was forry for his
father.. The witnefs replied that his father always
underflood that the wines had been infured by '
him. This Was denied by Reid, wbo laid, that
their houfe was not in the praetice of infuring for
any perfon iinconneCted with them in bufinefs,
cept a written order was fent them for that pur,
pole. The witnefs then mentioned the converfa-
tion which had taken place between hisfather and
the defendants' clerk, upon which the clerk was
called; but no fatisfaCtory anfiver could be got
from him.

Maule, the afore-mentioned clerk, appeared on
the part of the defendants, and Rated that on the
sth of June, 113ot, he called at the Crown and
Anchor Tavern with bills of exchange from Metill.
Reid and Irvin; that the plaintiff, in the ccitirfe
of their converfation, Aced him whether Mr. Scott
had faid any thing about infurance ? to which the
witnefs replied that he believed he had not, but that
he would immediately learn when he went home :
he at the fame time obferved, that if the plaintiff
withed to have the wines infured, the defendants
would do it for him, upon his fending them an
order in writing. The witnefs farther hated, that
it was not the pradice of the defendants to infure
for Rrangers without a written order.
William Freeland, principal clerk to the deren-
dants, Rated, that ira confequence of what Maule
had laid, on his return home, concerning the plain-
tiff's defire to have his wines inftned, he called at
his houfe, but was informed that he was not at
home ; he then requefted to be (hewn to fome con-
fidential perfon to whom he could deliver a mei--
fage that filch a perfon being pointed out to him,
he defired him to inform the plaintiff, that if he
willed to have his Madeira infured, he would fend
a written order to that put pole ; that the impref-
lion upon his mind certainly was, that the melfage
would be delivered ; that no order was however
fent, and there the affair dropped. The witnefsi
moreover, Rated, that it was the rule of their
houfe not to infure for (bangers without a written
order ; that the defendants were not infurance-
brokers, but merchants, though they occaftonally
infured for their cußomers, as the generality of
merchants did.
The Judge flutuned up the evidence with

treat
