TUE ZING V. ALLIER.

The Defendant in this cafe it one of the persnns
referred to in the course of the trial of Sir M. lA.
in, reported In nor Paper of yesterday. The is.
dimmest charged him with hewing received 351. from
Mr. G. Ilunt, et Islstioutla, to inflows his vote at
the Grempoend Election.
Mr. Serjeant Pact. stated the ease also to the
Jury. They would base, be said, similar evidence
laid before thee 119 en the trial jest concluded. The
Defendant was a voter of Grarnponnd ; and he af-
forded 'nether proof, how little the advantages of
such a high privilege were 'predated by a person of
his diapositinn ; who, instead of faithfully discharg-
ing his important trust, bed suffered himself to be lee
Beenced by persons who, he (Serjeant Pell) must say,
were eveti more unworthy than the Defendant, inas-
much as the rich tempter is more criminal than the
poor templed. If nothing of this kind was done by
persons who have money end those wbo want it, we
should bear less on the subject of Parliamentary mis-
representation. Ills Learned Friend bed said, that
he could not distiegeisb where benevolence should
begin, or bribery end ; be (ierjeant Pell) did not
wish, however, to shut op the channels of believe-
lence from the weelthy to their tenants or dependents.
England will never be what it has been, until the ho-
nest tenantry feel their sense of gratitude to their
beret landlords; such !flamenco as this, was not to
be considered es bribery. Bet it was very different
where a stranger endesvcion, by seworthy means, to
inflows the voters In his favour. The Learned
Serjeant concluded by remarking en the evidence
which he should bring forward in support of the ease,
and called _ _

Mr. 'feed, who was ezasoined by Mr. Games.—
I saw Anew at the late Grempownd election; he told
me he bad received 351. from Mr. Hest, at Ply.
mouth ; and if be did not vote for Sir M. Lopes, be
should retern the money. Mr. Hennallack also
charged Allen with baring received money ; be told
him so whew Allen proposed himself a candidate.—
M►. Hennallsek was Solicitor for the present sittiog
Member. Mr. Bottleneck objected to Allen as a
candidate, stating, that he had received a bribe as
well as the rest, and that there was a person present
who saw him lake the money; It was said publicly
before all the Court, and Allen did not deny it; he
persisted in being a candidate, sod in voting for him•
tell and Mr. Collett.
Mr. Lambe, by Mr. WiLLIAIIIO--I saw Allen at
the last Grempoond election, and heard him re•
pseedly acknowledge that he had received 351. from
Mr. Hunt, and said, If he did not vote for Mr.
Shaw, Sir M. Lopet's friend, he should refers the

money.
Mr. Teed, jon. corroborated the testimony of the
two precedisg wit noses.
Mr. William Hoare deposed, that Allen ocknew.
;edged to him having received 351. at Plymouth.
The case of the prosecution bolsi here closed,
Mr. ADAMS replied at some length, with con-
side►able ability ; and the Judge heels!' seamed up,
the Jog foiled this Defoodaot also Guilty.

ment against his old servant; one for a conspiracy
to chest him, sad the ether for stealing oats oat of
his barn. On the former of these charges the Plain-
tiff was acquitted the last Sommer Assizes, and
of the latter during the present Assizes. The pre-
ferring of the last indictment was that which (the
Counsel said) led to the discovery which produced
this action. A servant of the family, moved it the
persecution to which the Plaintiff had been subjected,
communicated to him some particulars; the resell of
which was, that he acquired the mortifying caloric-
lion, that the Defendant had availed himself of the
opportunities which the occupation of rooms in the

from her duty towards her husband ; sad that be bad
for a long period carried on an adulterous iotercourse
