In RE THE COIONER OF SALOP. V. lion NE opened this petition. It was a petition from fil f-, i:. , aue cf the county of Shropshire against the election of Mr. Jr .:a to the office of Coroner. It prayed that the Court might di • Viet ::',../ .Ittrlf to mark a new writ for the election of the Coroner of dee e,uto. - ... el the ground of an informality in the late election. On char ejca-irei there were two cantlidates--Slr. Jenes,• surgeon, a' d 317. Set:than, a ettlieitiw, resident in Shrewsbury. The first vb.:even male to the validity of the election was, that the Sheriff, in villa:ion os' the rule of the statute, postponed the holding of the Couety Court beyond the period prescribed by law, namely. from the S'fith or 'larch to the %kb of April; secondly, that at the hold. leg of the Court be did not give an opportunity . to the electors to eiroceed to an election. Tit third point of the petition referred to the infuse! of the Sivriffto prate-ed to an election, on theground that Mr. Sauthern *es disqualifitd for the office of Coroner, its he had not the amount of property required by the statute for a person holding that situation. This allegation was met by the petitioners. be the • sssertlen that nn evidence was tendered of such disqualification, and that Me Senthern did possess a sufficient elnitable interest to entitle him to hold the office. The Learned teentlentsn pro ceed:3 to advert to the several statutes which were successively pa.tscd in the reigns of Edward 1. Edward 111., Henry VIII. down to the lillth of George 111., irorn which be maintained that the provisions of these statutes were violated in the election which be now apt lied to hose set aside. Mr. TAU XT ox followed on the came ride. Ile commenced by adverting to the earliest statutes that had been enacted relatise to the election of a Coroner. It was there requited, that he should he the " meet wire and discrete knight." If this qualification were regarded 311 as indispensable requisite, then was Mr. Jones as in eligible es Mr. Southern. far neither of then, were knights. In. deed the strict observance of this rule would prevent any esquire or Landman of the county front fulfilling the office. The next statute was, the lath of Eels ant the Third, which stated the property requisite was such theyonl " whereof a man may an swer to all people." Again by Mth Edward the' hird, it was ?equine] that he should be the " moat meek and lawful to be found ir the county." The Learned Gentleman then ad. verted to the authority of Fiteherbert, in his Nufere flrevinet, In support of his opinions, and other eminent legal authorities. The construction which he gave to the terns " most wise and discrete knight" was, listen did not requirethat the paean should be a knight but a person of sufficient property and respectability to qualify him tor the situation. The oely property which by the last statute, the sfith Geo. 111., it was necessary the candidate should possess was, Pe reunite a year in the county, and it could be most satisfactorily pinned, that Mr. Southern, at the time of the election, was possess ed of that and much more. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared on behalf of Mr. Jonee. fie commenced by adverting to the first of Gentry VIII. chap. 50, whieh stated the eroperty which it was requisite for a etuulidete for toe osiice of Comr.er to possess. but which it did not appear Mr. Southern was seised of at the time of the election. There was a' #roperty assigned him or purchased be him, but the deed of con. feryance had not been executed which transferred the property , *clean, whim. The statute did not mention the word " Coro- 1 era,' t applied only to " Eseheator," but was always consi dered as confinnatory of the statutes which related to the eligibility of coroners. It appeared morn:mute from the admission cf Mr. Southern himself at the election, that he did not possess the 'f !Mill. , eitequalifications ; he even withdrew from the clettion.The Learned I (knit. contended that his withdrawal from the contest amounted to a total surrender of any pretension to gain the election. Ile lie.- mined that although he was not qualified at the time, he could ,vet qualified. but with this requisition the Sheriff very properly' refined to comply. If a candidate for a seat in Parliament were tat withdraw teem the contest, he could not afterwards complain of', bring unfairly dealt with, and in the same menner, be contended, teat elr. Southern, after having withdrawn, had no right now to' prefer a complaint against the return of Mr. Jones. The Lour) Cuancerema—But if the electors insist upon it, they can return a member against his will to Parliament. . Ilse S OLICITO R-OENERAL raid that the eases in that respect'! weredifferent. He admitted that a member should serve in Par liament, if he were elected, but there was no precedent of a similar case is the instance of an election of a coroner. It did not appear satisfactorily from the affidavits that a peel was demanded. Mr. Jones was elected without opposition, and in justice to him, the elsehon should not be disturbed. This circumstance. together with the voluntary witharawel of Mr. Southern, constituted suf. inclent grounds wby the prayer of the petition should not be ac ceded to. Mr. Sicilia' eel. appeared on behalf of the Sheriff, whore duty was merely ministerial, and whose only oh..!ert was to discharge her duty impartially. As to the objection which had been taken to the adjournment of the County Court from the inch of March to the 35th of Aprin it was made with the consent of both parties, and with a view to their mutual accommodation, and that of the free-, holders. When the writ for convening the Court for the election was in the hands of the Undez-Sheriff; a request was made to him hy Mr. Southern, or on his part, for the postponement of the dee. Ile would sot avert that that consideration was sufficieet to satisfy tlse statute, which required the election to take place within a limit. eel period,; but pit was done in a spirit of conciliation, it ought not tube made a ground of complaint ainst the Sheriff. Besides. the likeriff committed lmpey, a high authority upon such millet-et, and an the statutes which were there quoted for the regulation of the election of Coronae, no mention was made of the question of post. penetnent, or of the eeth of George 111 lie acted, therefore, on the best information he could procure, and without partiality. As! to his conduct at the County Court, it was simply this—an objec- Um) was them taken to the qualification of Me Southern ; the' Sloth, baud the arguments of Counsel on both sides; and aker a relent hearing, decided, as he had an undoubted right to do, ac. oardingto his Judgment, on the disqualification of Mr. Southern.

If he were now to limit that It was an electleth _lt might amount to a declaration, that the statute which provided against the post tof the election ass a nullity. It might be, however, either it was obligatory on the Sheriff not to postpone die election beyond a prescribed period, or it was dis cretionary with him to do so if he thought proper. The construe tem sr this pail of the statute was of the utmost importance. The eirevieion was introduced with a view of preventing Sherillis from _ eniereg recourse to those manerumei of delays, &c. which may be I settietimes resorted tri for the seceratnedatiOn of their friends. As to ' die 511th of George 111. not being found in Impel., which it sets staled the Sheriff consulted, it was not to be wondered at, as the statute was not passed till after that book had been published. Until it was decided *whether the election was an election at all or toe it would be unnecessary to enter into the other point, namely, 'what are the tivaliticationa requisite for the eligibility of a Coroner, and did Mr. Southern possess them.

The answer was, that the time of meeting was Friday, when prayers were read, and when the Vicar could not preside at the meeting; and that the terms of the notice called upon the infix ' bitants to establish a Select Vestry. while the Act of ;et Geo. 111. only empowered them to call a Select Vestry, if they (the inha bitants) thought proper.

I This was a case tried at the Sittings after Trinity Term last year, I on a policy of Lowrance on Aped* shipped on board a vessel from I London to Maracaibo, in South America, rn nviedret for the Assured was taken, subject to a special argument. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN was heard against the verdict, and ar- I I geed that his clients, the underwriters on the policy, were entitled to the verdict, inasmuch as they did not insure against an enemy, but only against the perils of the sea, and that if :Maracaibo had I not, at the time the vesael stranded, been in the herds of the Roy alists, the goods would have been secured. The facts were, that I the ship was stranded about nine miles from :Maracaibo, to which port she was sailing, under the expectation that it was in the pert. session of the Independents ; and that on her being wrecked at that point, had that beat the case, assistance v.sruld have been ren. tiered to her, and the goods saved ; but the town being in the hands of the Royalists, they seized the goods, and therefore he con- , tended that the km was occasioned by capture and seizure, and net ; by the perils of the sea. Mr. Sergeant Rosier:nu ET, in support of the verdict, conterded that the nion.ent the vessel struck no the sands, the goods were a I total low, and that the right of the assured to recover WWI no. feeted by anything that afterwards occurred. It was clear from the • evidence, that if no assistance had arrived, the goods could not I have been saved. They could never have reached Maracaibo. It ! was not to he presumed on the part of the urderwriters that the ; vestal would have run into !ilaracaibo with the Royalist flag Vying ; there, and therefore it might fairly be inferred that the loss arose ; from the perils of the sea. Mr. Sergeant Vxt; sinew, in reply, maintained that the Ines nark place in consequence of :Maracaibo being in the halals of the! Royalists. The vessel was specially destined for that pots, and it, I as the underwriters believed, it had been in the hands of the hi. dependents, she would have been approaching a friendly port, u i would have received assistance, in which case the goods would have buen secured, and therefore the loss could only in fa.mess he re. !erred to reptant, front which the underwriters were spech-liy ex certed.

'nee ship in question was insured from London to Muaretibo, and if it should appear that the loan was occasioned by the perils of the sea, 1 then it must be allowed-that it was a total lose. The fact was, that the vessel was not stranded nine miles from Maracaibo, but off Sun Carlos, a military poet, SO miles from that port.

Theinsolvent, it appeared, bad been in the employ of Mr. Col lard, as sub-distribunw and agent, in whom he reposed great eon. fidence ; but it appeared, in the end, that he became a very consi derable defaulter, and it was on the ground of this deficiency that the present opposition was raised to the insAvent's discharge.

Mr. II EAT II called Mr. Jeffiwy, who had been subpcenaed to ptoducc the box ; but he refused to be sworn, unless his travelling expenses were first paid. His demand, however, was suds, that the other party would nut dissent, and Mr. Heath therefore proceeded with the insolvent, who Sent on to state, that the origleal will was in the box, but he had not administred to it for want of funds. He never went by the name of Terry, but was known only by the name of Thomas Hammood. He had advertised his present applies tion in hi+ proper name, adding, that be was sued as 'rhontits - I f.am mond. ills debts amounted to upwards of 5,000/., but for 3,0001. he had never received any, consideration.

A young woman, of the name of Mary Irak, has undergone several long examinations at this Office, before Mr. Hasse, on a charge of stealing some articles of household linen, a blue silk watch-case, and other trifling articles, the property f Mr. Arch bold, the Barrister. The case, odicrwise of no unportance, was rendered curious by the extraordinary defence set up by the pri soner. The principal witness against the prisoner was a young woman ranted Elizabeth Simperinghain, who lives in the opacity of housekeeper at Mr. Archbold's, in Burton-aescent, the prisoner filling tile situation of housemaid in the family. This witness stated at the first examination that she had from time to time missed towels and sheets, and some stockings belonging to her master and mistress, and she suspected titer prisoner, bemuse she was the only person in the house besides herself who could take the things. She at length made a search throughout the house, during the temporary absence of the prisoner, iced found several of the missing thim,, in a chewer which she had fa her own use in the kitchen, and other articles in her box up stairs, and between her bed and mattress. She also found two or three things between some boxes near the wine cellar. When the prisoner returned, the witness told her of what she bad found, and asked her what she intended to do with the things she had taken. The prisoner began to cry, and said she was sorry for what she had done. This dis covery took place on a Mutitlay, and on the following Monday she informed her master of it. Lack, a constable, was sent for, and he found a pair of her master's stockings under the prisoner's bed.
