Trafford was aware of this before I told him, which was before the deed was executed. We left Leamington the same evening, and drove at the same rate back. When we arrived at Wilmslow next day, we were told Mr. Bradshaw died about eleven last night. It is possible one of us might have said, "Well, then, we are just in time." The value of the living is about 1200l. a year.

Dr. Hull, of Manchester, was examined as to the state of the health of Mr. Bradshaw. He said his complaint was an erysipelas fever; it is by no means a fatal disorder. He did not at all despair of his life. He died a little before twelve o'clock on the night of the 12th. He did not despair of his life till his last visit on Friday; and half an hour before his death he quite despaired of him.

The Rev. George Uppleby examined. I was presented to the living of Wilmslow in 1819. I then lived at Barton-on-Humber, Lincolnshire. Before Mr. Bradshaw's death I had no communication whatever with Mr. Fox or Mr. Trafford on the subject. The first communication was made to me by Mr. Fox on the 26th of Nov. I have never given any thing to him, nor has be required any thing from me.

Mr. Serjeant Cross. This is my case,

my lords.

The Attorney General rose and said, it became his duty to state, that there was no imputation ever meant to apply throngh out the whole course of the proceedings to Mr. Uppleby; and he believed Mr. Fox and Mr. Trafford were both highly respectable gentlemen. He charged them with no personal fraud; but in the legal construction of the agreement, it certainly

was a simoniacal one, and many honourable men had been guilty of it. He did not assert that there was any thing corrupt in the presentation; but he did assert, that the purchase of the presentation, the party being dead, or his life despaired of, was null and void to all intents and purposes, and the next turn of presentation fell to the crown.

The Chief Justice did not think it necessary to sum up the evidence to the jury; the case principally rested on the fact, whether Mr. Bradshaw was in extreme danger?

After a long consultation, the following issues were agreed to be put to the jury:

1st. Whether Mr. Trafford and Mr. Fox, or either of them, knew that Mr. Bradshaw was in great danger at the time of the execution of this deed: Verdict, That they both knew it.

2d. Whether Mr. Bradshaw was afflicted with a mortal disease, and in extreme danger? Verdict, Yes.

3d. Whether Mr.Trafford and Mr. Fox, or either of them, believed that Mr. Bradshaw's life was despaired of at the time of the execution of the deed? Verdict, That his life was despaired of by both of them.

4th. Whether the life of Mr. Bradshaw was actually despaired of at the time of the execution of the deed. Verdict, That it was.

The points, that the conveyance was intended as the means of conveying the next presentation, and that only, and that Mr. Uppleby was not privy, to be added in the special verdict. Verdicts were then entered for the Bishop of Chester on these counts.
