never failed, to my knowledge."

Gentlemen--This is the whole of the evidence on each side. I have made
my observations upon it, as it has proceeded. You have heard from me
already, that this is a case in which both the individuals and the
public are deeply concerned. It is important that public justice should
be vindicated by the conviction of the defendants, if they are guilty;
and that justice should likewise be done to the defendants, by exempting
them from punishment, if they have committed no crime. You will
consider upon the whole of the evidence, whether these several parties
were connected in one common plan, and were using their several
endeavours and means to raise the Funds for corrupt advantage, by false
contrivances, and the circulation of false intelligence--if you believe
that all of them were concerned in it, you will find them all guilty--if
you believe that any of them are exempt from a share in this Conspiracy,
you will acquit them.--You will now consider of your Verdict.

_Mr. Richardson._ Your Lordship stated, that there were some Counts upon
which they ought not to be found guilty.

_Lord Ellenborough._ Yes; Gentlemen, you will find the defendants not
guilty upon the first and second Counts of the Indictment, as those
allege facts and motives, in which they cannot all be supposed to be
joined.

_A Juryman._ They are guilty or not guilty of a Conspiracy.

_Lord Ellenborough._ Yes; a Conspiracy, which is a crime that cannot be
committed by one; it must be committed by more than one.

_The Jury retired at ten minutes after six o'clock, and returned at
twenty minutes before nine with their Verdict, finding all the
Defendants--GUILTY._

LORD COCHRANE.

My Lords, scarcely recovered as I am from the shock, which I experienced
on hearing of the verdict pronounced against me at the late trial, I
must crave your utmost indulgence, not only on that account, but also
because I am unacquainted with the proceedings and forms in Courts of
Law. I feel it essentially necessary, and I trust I shall make it
evident to the minds of your Lordships, that it is essentially necessary
to the cause of justice, that there should be a revision of the
proceedings that have been lately had, and that a new trial should take
place, at least as far as I am concerned and implicated in that
transaction.

It has been my misfortune to suffer from an
