HABEAS CORPUS. Mt. iSRVIS said, be had now to shew their Lord ships cause against • role for a Habeas Corpus, di rected to the Commander df his Majesty'. slop Gloucester, commandiug him to bring up the bo , dies of two men convicted by the Dover Magi... trates of smuggling. and sent on board the Wow curet. ander the provisions of the 45th and 57th of the late King. The offence in this ease, he was ready to admit, was committed within the main and. port of Folkstone, and the conviction was befdre two Magistrates of the town and port of Dover.. Mr. Justice Baartee....." Then it is said, I sup pose, that the Duvrr Magistrates had no juris diction ?" Mr. Jaavts—" Yes, my Lord ; hut I am to con tend that they had. 'the Act asp, the Magis trates of the port to which the boat is taken. Now here the boat, I contend, was taken into the port of Dover. The men were apprehended on the 3d October, within the limits of the port of Folk atone, and were conveyed to one of the soartello towers on the coast. Here they were detained no. til the sth, and then taken, together with the boat and cargo, to Dover, and the Dover Magistrates convicted. Folkstone was acknowledged to he a port of exclusive jurisdiction for all porpases except those connected with the Customs ; but in all such cases the jurisdiction was given to Dover, there be ing no Costom•house or place to deposit contraband goods at Folkstune. The words of the statute gave jurisdiction to the Magistrates in or near the place into which the boat was taken, or near the place where the parties should be arrested." Mr. Justice Herr asked what were the words of the statute, which declared Folkstoue a distinct jurisdiction except in cases relating to Customs? Mr. Jetty's said he had no statute declaring it to be so, but it was stated on affidavits. Mr. Justice BATLEY observed, the conviction in this case did not set forth, as it ought to have done. the jurisdiction of the Magistrates convicting, or the authority under which they convicted. Mr. Jewels submitted, that under the words of the present statute this was unnecessary. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—" There is nothing on the face of this conviction to shew that the Plinio. testes of Dover had any thing whatever to do with the case." Mr. LtretenaLE, in support of the Maw, Corpus, contended, that the landing of the g ood s, and detention of the men in the martetfo tower. within the limits of the t two and port of Folk stone, took away even the shadow of jnriadtction from the Magistrates of Dover. Ile also 'Omitted that the Habeas Corpus must go, even on the omis sion on the face of the conviction of stating the authority of the hlogistratcs to convict. The CHIEF JUSTICE üb,trvrd, there were two considerations for the Court to this case whether the Magistrates of Dover had jurtsdtction ; and secondly, if they had. whether the omission on the face of the conviction was not • fatal one. The goods had in this case been seized within the !Anita of the port of Folkstoue, and the men taken on shore there, and detained two days, bat afterwards they were again put on board, and taken to Dover. If this might be done great abuse might follow, for it would be difficult to say, tinder such an inter pretation of the Act, that they might not have been taken to the most northern part of the kingdom. If necessary for him now to give an opinion, he should say such • thing could not be done. But he was not now called on to declare any opinion on that point, as he was decidedly of opinion that the conviction was bad. as it ought to have stated the jurisdiction of the Magistrates convicting, which in this case it did not, and therefore he was of opinion the rule for the Habeas Corpus must be made absolute. The rest of the COURT agreed in this opinion. The CHIEF JUSTICE observed, he had no doubt but the Admiralty would in this case act with its usual liberality, and order the men to be discharg ed, without calling for the expense of the Habeas Corp**. Mr. JERVIS said the expenses of the application should be defrayed according to his Lordship's di rection, and the men liberated immediately. THE XING V. RIDGWAY. Mr. Serjeant HULLOCIC said he had to shew their Lordships cause in this case, against a role obtained • OE a former day by Mr. Brougham, calling on Sir 'John Sewell, John Atkins, E•q., and James Mur ray, telteitor, to shew cause why a writ of Certiorari, obtained by them, should not be quashed; and why they should not pay the expenses incurred by the Defendant, in consequeuce of their not going to trial at the last Lancaster Assizes • together with the expenses of this application. Had the rule been confined to paying the expenses of not going to trial, it would not have been opposed ; that object might have been obtained by a side-bar rule; but here the Defendant sought to set aside the C'ertio. aryl. The Learned Serjeant was proceeding to state affidavits in support of the Certiorari. when The LORD CHI sr JusTics asked Mr. Brougham whether he would not ht satisfied if the costs of not going to trial, and of the present application, were paid ?
