The following report appeared in the Bridgwater and Somersetshire Herald, March 1831WESTERN NEWS - Exeter and Devonshire
DEVON COUNTY SESSIONS.A General Sessions for the County was holden at the Castle on Tuesday last, before W. Nation, Esq. Chair-man; Baldwin Fulford, J. B. Butler, J. Sillifant, H. L. Toll, E. Divett, B. Fulford, jun. Esqrs., and the Rev. J. G. Coplestone, Justices.
The Chairman, in his charge to the Jury, referred to the improved state of the country since the last Sessions, and paid a deserved and handsome compliment to the memory of the late Mr. Lyon, whose death we recorded in our paper of the 5th inst.
John Rodd, a genteel looking youth, was indicted for stealing at Chulmleigh, on the 11th of Jany., 4 pieces of the current coin of the realm, called penny-pieces, the property of J. Pearse. The indictment was laid under a specific act of Parliament, the prisoner being an appren-tice to the prosecutor. Pearse said in his evidence, that when he charged the prisoner with the act, (which was admitted, the intent only being denied), he stated that he intended to return the money again, as he had merely taken it out of the till to pay for a parcel which he ex-pected from Barnstaple. This was the material fact on which the prosecution was grounded. The prosecutor underwent a most rigid cross-examination from Mr. Tyrrell, who conducted the defence, during which he appeared in anything but an enviable position, from the searching nature of the interrogatories, and the manner in which he answered them - having admitted that he never thought of instituting the present charge till the prisoner and his mother had consulted an attorney upon some matters connected with the prosecutor. The cross -examination was terminated by the Court, Mr. Tyrrell having asked the prosecutor if he was not at the time he was speaking of a certain transaction, courting a Miss Wreford - the Chairman stated that the learned gent. had already exceeded the fair bounds of a cross-examination. - Mr. Tyrrell said, that what he wanted to show, was, that malice existed on the part of the witness, and in so doing, he believed he was perfectly regular in the method he was pursuing. - The chairman said, that the hon, gent might ask the prosecutor whether he came forward to prosecute for the purpose of malice. He was exceedingly averse to stopping a cross-examination, es-pecially for the defence, but in the present instance, the learned gent. had far exceeded the bounds that could be fairly allowed. - Samuel Pearse, the brother of the prosecutor, was next examined. He deposed to seeing the money taken away from the till. This was the only material fact offered by this witness. He was then cross-examined at great length, respecting a written ac-count of the alleged theft, which had been taken at the time by his brother, the prosecutor, and copied by witness. On being asked when the copy was taken, he replied, yesterday, but exhibited a happy felicity in being unable to comprehend the meaning of many of the questions that were addressed to him. His bro-ther having attempted to prompt him, was ordered out of Court, when he made his appearance shortly afterwards up in the Grand Jury gallery, where he endeavoured to explain his brother's answers. The learned counsel drew attention most humourously to the elevated station which the expelled prosecutor had now attained, and a general and most hearty laugh was then excited through-out the Court, and which was only terminated by his re-expulsion, by the order of the Chairman. In speaking of the hand-writing, the witness said he could not say that it was his brother's hand-writing, although he had copied it word by word. His brother, he said, wrote different hands, and he could not tell which of them it was. The Chairman summed up, in the course of doing which, he grounded some observations on the manner in which Mr. Tyrrell had shaped his defence. The jury immediately returned a verdict of not guilty.
The prisoner, who during the whole of the trial maintained a very proper demeanour, appeared much affected by the result of the trial, covering his face with his hands a considerable time. The Chairman, previously to his going from the dock, said "he hoped that for the future period the verdict - which was a very proper one - would have a suitable effect on him. He was quite sure he would know how to value a good character, for on the presumption of that, the verdict was in a great measure delivered." - Mr. Tyrrell said be had in his hand a cha-racter signed by the whole parish in which the prisoner resided, but which he was prevented putting in as the law would not allow him to do so. - The Chairman : I do not know what that observation means, as it is quite that you were perfectly competent to put that character in evidence. - Mr. Tyrrell. - No, Sir! I pledge my professional reputation on the fact that I could not put that character. - The Chairman. - Well, you might have shown it to the Bench, which amounts to nearly the same thing. I am sorry to find that there was an idea on the part of the defence against this fact. - Mr. Tyrrell added that the prisoner was had been acquitted solely on the merits of the case and without any reference to character. - [Many persons in, and out of Court, testified by plaudits their approbation of the verdict.]
