LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 4. Henry Heatraff, convicted at the last Winchester Assizes, of aiding and assisting three French prisoners of war to escape, was sentenced to be imprisoned in Winchester Jail for three years, and pay a fine of WA. to the King. Lord ELLEN/Noonan observed, the Court did not forget that the de fendant had already been in conqnement eight months; but the priso ner was x sort of wholesale dealer, as appeared from the evidence tAen at the trial, and it was an offence falling little short of High Treason. TRIDAY, NIAT S. SIR F. BURDEI"I . BARI'. V. EARL. MOIR A.' The Attorney-Genera', on the part of the defendant, applied to the Court to appoint a day in the next ensuing term, for the, Trial at liar, of this cause. Lord ELLENsoaouciu observed, that as the next was an issu..ble Term, it might he attended with ;mile inconvenience in obstructing the buiines4 of the Court, and as it was a question not requiring any irr.- mediate decision, it could not be very it.convenient to the parties or the Public to allow it to stand over. However, whatever the arrangement aright be made, the Court left it to the option of the Attorney-General. The Attorney-General, in reply, stated the nature of the action, which was brought by Sir Francis Burdett, against the - Noble Earl, for receiving his body under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Commons. In the two cues which had b en already tried, between the Hon. Baro net and the Speaker,. and also between the Hon. Baronet and Coleman, the Serjeant, the Court had decided in both cases that the Spt warrant was a legal process, and therefore there was very littleto try In the present.case. However, with the rrmission of the Court, he would shape his 'motion in another way, and move for a Rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause, üby this case should not be set down for trial the nest tSMI.—Rule Nisi granted. JUDGMENTS. THE KING V. DANIII. ISAAC EATON. This defendant was brought up for illrafjudgment, having been con victed of a libel, in republishing the Third Part of Paine s Age O . Reason, as particularly mentioned in former Papeis. 111 r. J , .istice Gan's, in pronouncing tte judgment of the Court, ani— rnadverted with great severity on the enormity of his :,ffence, conclud lag by observing, that in passing this sentence the Court enter:sin:fa little hope that it would have .ny effect upon his mind, but for tbuitake of example they were induced to visit his offence with more than ordi nary severity. He then sentenced him to he imprisoned in his Nl4jesty's Jail of Newgate, for the space of 18 cale;idar months, aid to stand in the pillory for the space of one hour, in the front of Newg.ite, wit:iin the first month of that period, betwecp the hour] 1.. f twelve and two .afterll9s;43.

These defendants were also brought up for final judgment, having been convicted before Mr. Baron 1 bompson, he la,l Assizes for Y .rk, a riot, and assaulting a recruiting party, at a rusbbaring or fair, held at Brighouse, near Halifax, in th. t county, in August last, as also stated iii a former Paper. 'I he Court sentenced them to twelve months Imprisonment each in the Castle of Yotk. THORNTON V. FORD, SEARL AND HOLLIDAY. This was a rule nisi obtained oss a former day by the Attorney Gone. ral, on behalf of the defendants, claiming cognizance of Um action i j i jurisdiction of the University of Oxford, by virtue of the Charter. —It was an action of Tres?ass, brought by two young females , jointly against the defendant, the proctor, pro-proctor, and marshal, or ser vant of the University, and the cause of action arising within th..t juris diction, the defendants claimed cognizance of the action in that (Jul. versity. Messrs. Carr and Richardson spewed cause against the rule, being an action of trespass against the three defendants jointly, they contended that in order to claim cognizance in an inferior Court, they should shew an equal right, and by the Charter, persons claiming that privi lege should shew that they were resident within the jurisdiction of the University. There was no question as to the case of Ford and Sear!, the Proctor and Pro-Proctor, as they were resident, but the question arose as to Holliday, who stated himself to be a servant, or marshal of the University for upwards of fourteen years, but resided in atiother parish out of the jurisdiction. The next objection was, that he w:is not a registered resident, but merely a temporary ref.idi ut, and th. re fore not entitled to privilege.—As in the case of an attorney sued jointly with another person, be was obliged to foreio his privilege, and make his defence like any other ocilinary person.— They therefore contended that according to the conistruction of the Charter he did not come within the meaning of a priviledged person, and therefore was not en titled to his claim of cognizance. The Attorney General was proceeding to reply in support of the rule—when Lord ELLE N BOROUGH observed that it was quite clear, this person being a well-known servant of the University for 14 years, must come within the construction of the Charter as a resident—With regard to his not being registered, that was not required by the Charter. only a bye-law for the internal regulation of the University; and no ma!! was to be stripped of his privilege, because, perhaps, some other person had been negligent of his duty, in not entering his name in the Regis ter.—Rule absolute. Mr.PATTERSON, brother-in-law to JEROME BUONAPARTE was on Monday night apprehended by the Bow-street Offi cers. This person arrived, with several others, in the Hornet sloop of war from France ; all of whom obtained passports to proceed to town, except Mr. PATTERSoN and a Mr. JONES, who notwithstanding ventured to accomp iny their companions. The Officers are in quest of JONES, but have mot yet found him.
