It was contended by the Learned Connsel for the pro-
secution, that the defendants having co-operated with
3l'Lagen in procuring the lease, under false pretences,
were guilty of a conspiracy of the basest and most in-
jurious kind.
Mr. Hamar arm ned. that whatever might have been
the offence of the purchaser of the lease, the defendants
were not guilty of conspiring with him to commit a
friend. It was hut a pour way of proving that a conspi-
racy existed to skew that the hills of exchange lead
been taken in payment for the lease, and to omit the
proof that a previous arrangement had been made by the
defendants to deprive the prosecutors of their property
by fraudulent means. Besides, those hills of exchange
were nut yet due, anti who could assert that when they
,became due they would not be paid ? The express gross&
too upon which the agreement seemed to be fouoded,
were, that the house was to lat rebuilt or thoroni lily re-
