for a conspiracy to defraud Gwyllim Lloyd Wardle, Esq. The circumstances of the case were so amply recited on the former trial, in which, by the perjuries alledged on this occasion, Mr. Wardle had a verdict given against him for furniture delivered by the Wrights to Mrs. Clarke, that it it is unnecessary, and our limits prevent us from entering into details.--The witnessess called to prove that Mr. Wardle had not made himself liable to pay Mr. Wright for Mrs. Clarke's furniture, and consequently to prove by inference, the fact of the conspiracy, were the Colonel himself, Major Dodd, Mr. Glennie, and Sir R. Phillips. The two first contradicted the testimony given by Mrs. Clarke on a former trial, as to certain expressions used by her while selecting the furmture at the upholsterers, and the two latter gentlemen stated the substance of conversations with Mrs. Clarke, subsequent to the conclusion of the late parliamentary investigation, in which that lady admitted her own responsibility for the goods in question; particularly on offering her memoirs for publication to that respectable bookseller, who bade 50001. for them, when she said she must have 7000 as she had to pay Francis Wright 20001. for furniture; on which Sir Richard declined the purchase, but for which she had since obtamed 10,000l. by the hands of the Earl of Chichester for their suppression, besides an annuity for life!!

On the part of the defendants Mr. Stokes (Mrs. Clarke's attorney) was called, who said that he told Col. Wardle, during the investigation, that he must not call him as a witness, (since he could not there claim his privilege as an attorney) for by cross-examination he might be compelled to tell that Mrs. Clarke expected to derive considerable

Bank Stock

advantage from her evidence before the house of Commons, and to relate all he knew on the subject of Col. Wardle's furnishing Mrs. Clarke's house; and that therefore the colonel forbore calling either him or Wright; though they had both been subpænaed.-Col. Wardle being again called into court as a witness, positively denied that Stokes ever assigned to him, that the furnishing of Mrs. Clarke's house was a reason why he wished him not to appear as a witness in the house, or that any conversation passed on that topic in his interview with Stokes. This was the substance of the evidence of both sides. Mr. Alley, the leading counsel, (Serjeant Best being subpænaed as a witness but not called) who so eloquently opened the case, was then heard in reply, in which he made a forcible appeal to the jury, on the superior credibility which the plaintiff's witnesses justly claimed.

Lord Ellenborough summed up the evidence, and the jury, after deliberating about five minutes in the box, returned a verdict-Not Guilty.

The Royal Dukes of York and Kent were present.

Mr. Canning is said to have expressed considerable surprise, and even dissatisfaction, at the readiness manifested by Lord Wellesley to supply his place in the foreign department. The occurrence reminds us of an Eastern tale, wherein one of two friends being condemned to die for an offence committed against the state, the other consents not only to be the messenger of the melan choly tidings to his prison, but to inform him, "that as somebody must undertake the office of strangling him, and as it does not signify by whose hand a man dies, he is himself just arrived time enough to be his executioner!"

PRICE OF STOCKS.-DEC. 23, 1809.
