innocence) were bound to *twit the tie/ties.
Mr. "Verge VAUGHAN summed up the use. lie said
that the present defendants might ce.tteinly seen
indicted for perjury. but this coarse was open to the
rosecutnr.. The point for the Jury to determine Was,
whether the defendants had conspired and confederated
lately to charge she prosecutor with a felony ? It
was Asserted that the object was to eXiwt money, but
that was not a subject for their consideration. Was
this hatched up by Woolley and the others, with a
full knowledge of the prosecutor's innocence of the
charge? GOD forbid (said his Lordship) that the
wont man in the country should suffer, either in
purse or person, op the unsupported evidence of so
infamous a character as the prosecuwr,who, it appeared,
had hi ea the companion of the vilest wretches this,
country had ever produced. His evidence had been
confirmed by Ole testimony of sqme witnesses who had
spoken very f.irly. It the Jury were .of opinion this
charge had been trumped up op purpose to get money
nut of the prosecutor's pocket, they would say the, were
guilty. The conduct of Woolley was very suspicious ils
a !variety of instances: his offering himself as bail fa. the
prosecutor. his keeping the indictment back till the last
day of the AsSizes, and his asserting " that it would be
settled,", all tended to prove that the charge of coo.
spiracy was not unfounded. There appeared to be no'
evidence to affect Metcalf ; but as to the other two,
they would consider if the charge was made out by the

evidence.
The Jury consulted for some time, and at seven
o'cl, ck at night returned a verdict of Not Guilty in
favour of all the defendants.

ESSEX WINTER G 401 DELIVERY.
The trials of the prisocer'S were concloded at a much
earlier hour en Saturday than the heavy calendar at
first led us to expect. Caskon and Brien, the Irishmen,
convicted of the brutal attack upon the venerable Mr.
Greenhill, of SttatfOrd, whose appearance, and descrip-
iion of the treatment he esperiericed. so 'greatly excited,
the syMparhy of the Court ; and Oades, the horse stealer,
are left for excention. The Itishmen are young and"
single men ; their countenances by no means betray
-I
that ferocious mind which such a crime would induct
1 tri to expect. They are attended by a Roman Ca-
tholic Priest, in whose docttines they declare they;
place great reliance. They appear quite calm and rs.
