lIAL INFORMATION.

Mr. lbws moved for a rule to show cause why a cried-
mil information should not be filed against Thos. Potts, a
printer, at ll.ventry, for having published a libel on four
Justices of the pease of that borough, one of whom was the
mayor sod the other the ex-mayor. At the election fur
the county of Northampton, on the IGth July last, Maven-
try was one of the polling places. There was ■ great con-
, coarse of people there at the time, and the constables were
severely injured, in consequence of which four persons
were brought before the magistrates and were severally
convicted of assaults, and imprisoned in default of payment
of s fine. The term of imprisonment having expired, a
placard wee put up In the shop window of Mr. l'otts and
circulated through the borough, stating that a public meet-
ing would be held to consider the case of the four victims
of judicial persecution, and to manifest the incompetency
and partiality of the magistrate', and the attendance of all
lovers of public justice was requested.
Rule granted.

RIIGUITRATION APPIALS.
_

To.day the eourt sat aocordiag to flows, to hear appeals
from the rea;qrstion courts, of which there were ten in the
lit; bat in consequence of their lordships rising at two
o'clock to no into the Court of Eschrquer to prick fur
sheriffs, the following were the only appeals disposed of.
FORDO. SMIDLZT.—INTO TTTTT Dacia's)* AS TO THI
PAVIIIIIIT or AbSICSSID TAILS.
_ _

This was an appeal from aefeeiaio;aof36.biacqueen. the
Revising Barrister for the City of Weetenineter, and the
question now raised was one womb has lately excited much
attention, vie , what amassed taxes ;are to be paid before
the 20th of July to give a title to be upon the register. Th I
appeal was a consikilated one, and the claims of 118 persons
to be upon the register were to be decided by it.
Mr. Serjeant Kinglake and Mr. 1). D. Keane appeared to
support tl.c appeal,' and Mr. Wordsworth was for the re-
spondent.
Mr. Serjeant Kinglake stated to the court that the ques-
tion in this cue was, whether there had been a payment
of aseensed taxes within the meaning of the Reform Act,
the 2 Wm. IV., cap. 4.5, and of a subsequent statute. He
submitted that two points were involved : first of all, that
the amused tax in question was not within the proper
meaning of that word payable quarterly at all, but that it
was payable by half-yearly instalments, and then it would
not become due until the month of March, and therefore
they* was so tax payehle in January. But, if he was wrong
in that, and even if the assessed tax in question was my-
able quarterly, then he submitted that it was not payable
for the purpose of disfranchising a voter under We statute
until after demand by the collector. The Reform Act con-
ferred the right to vote for boroughs upon la householders,
' and then it provided that they should not be registered
unless they paid before the 20th Judy all poor rates and as-
wrest taxes which should become payable from them pre-
' Mous to We 6th of April then neat preceding; and by a
recent act, the titb App( is altered to the 6th January pre-
eliding ; therefore, -Now all taxes mast be paid
which became payable before the 6th of January.
The first act of wham's• as to assessed taxes
was the 43 Geo. 111., am. 99. That woo an act for con-
solidating certain provisions as to We Commissioners of
Taws and es to the collection of taxes. It wee to apply to
all taxes, sew and old, except land tax. The assessments
were to be made for a year, and the conunissiosers were to
give warrants to collectors, who were enjoined and required
to demand payment of the team within 10 days after the
said duties shall respectively become due and payable. The
43 Geo. 111., cap. 161, sec. 23, said that the d.aties made
were to be in force for one whole year, commencing from
the 6th of April, and that the several duties ;should be
" mid" by quarterly iastalments, that is to say, on the
20th of Jose for the quarter commencing on the sth of
April and eliding on the Sth of July ; on the 20th of Sep-
tember for the quarts from the 6th of July to the 10th of
October; on the 20th__ggff December for the quarter corn.
mewing es the 10th Ol.Qetober and ending on the sth of
January; and on the of March for the quarter com-
ment* on the sth of January end ending on the 6th of
April. The 24th section referred to Sendand' and there
the assessments were payable by instalment; half-yearly.
To the statute 48 Geo. 111., cap. 141, rules were appended
as to the man igement of the taxes, tad it was said
the assessed taxes were to be unease' and le-
vied half.yearly in equal moieties, provided always
that nothing therein contained should be construed to al•er
the times or proportions in which the duties were payable,
or in any way to affect the powers or provisions of the said
act, and then it is expressly enacted that such duties should
As collected and levied in moieties for the period meting the
10th October and sth April. The collectors, accordingly,
applied for the tax half-yearly, but it was said, oa the Dater
side, that buena' the latent power exists of enforcing the
paymeat quarterly, voters were to t disfranchised if
they did not pay quarterly, although the tax wee collect-
able only half-yearly. The pWa meaning wee that, for all
"'Weary purpose, the taxes were to be paid half yearly,
hat as difitculties might arise, there was a power to put in
force the act of parliament in cases of urgency; to go up=
the premises and eillente the law. The first act of paella-
mentsaid the duties were to he .. said " quarterly at cer-
tain times, and the third rule at the end of the act to which
he had referred said that they should be collected and levied
in moieties. He submitted that this meant that they
were to be paid ia moieties. At all events, the
practice we fag the collectors only to collect
half-yearly, and Woes who went out of town
in the long vacation knew that, for the first thing they saw
when they got back was • paper of the kind he held in his
hand, asking for two quarters' taxes. (A laugh.) They
never by any chime asked for one quarter.
TM Chief Justice—No, nor for a half you either; it is
for two quarter,.
Mr. Serjeaat Kinglake—The collectors came soon after
the 10th September end the 10th March, and if persons
mast pay quaeterlf they must go and find out the collector
themselves, and pay, for be would not call for the tax
quarterly. People mast do this or be disfranchised: this
was • very important matter, and their lordships could hardly
isosceles the number of persons who would be affected if
these taxes were to be paid quarterly.
The Chief Justice admitted the importance of the matter,
for if the statute were followed strictly to the letter, it
would affect almost every body, for there were few per-
sons who paid their assessed taxes by the 20th July. That
might, however, be, because they were not aware of what
the law was. _ . .

Mr. Serjeant Kinglake would now call their lordships
attention to the rules an clam 4 whir* referred to supple-
' =eatery assessments, which were to be paid at the first
period for the psyment of the ordinary duties. Then in
the sth elm there were also some raise upon the matter.
The Chief Justiee.—Tbese two clue of rules treat the
word payment u baring the same meaning as levied ; but
it is an incorrect use of the word.
Mr. fkrjeant Kinglake then proceeded to refer to the in-
structions printed for the direction of the oellecton, which
stated that the duties were to be collected half yearly, bat
they were informed tbsitthey were payable quarterly, and
were directed to make aseseed while lea days after they
became payable. Ile aditiadl OD them ialmatioot to show

then they should net be payable within the moaning of this
word ?
Mr. Seri. ICiaglake thought that meaning might be in-
cluded is the word. In the Irish lieform Act the words
were due and payable." end he submitted that the inten-
tion of the legislature was to mike the law the same in both
countries. Of e turfs decisions of oommittets of the House
of Commons woad not bind their lordships, but he might
mention that on questions of rates they always re-
quired proof of the assessment and of proper demand made.
This tax now in question he contended was not pay-
able until some demand made, and It was quite clear that
no demand had been made previous to the 6th of January.
The 12th section of the 43 Geo. 111., cep. 39, required the
collector to demand the duties, and the 33rd section said
that if persons refused to pay the sums charged upon them,
upon dement made by the collector, there welt be • dis-
uses.

The Chief Justice—They could not collect foreiby with-
out • demand, because the grocer of distress is • very dis-
agreeable one.
Mr. Justice Maale—There is an 'street or warrant deli-
vered to the officer, sad he must demand before he can levy
under it. You say the entreat is issued before the money is
payable.
Mr. Scrjeant Kinglake would now all attention to the
law upon scot end lot voters before the Reform Act; they
would not be disfranchised until after demand made for
rates; which doctrine was laid down by this court, in Chief
Justice Abbutt's time, in the case of " Cullen v. Ford."
Fur the reasons which he had urged, he submitted to their
lordship. that the revising barrister was wrong in striking
off the name of the appellant from the register.
Mr. Wordsworth, fur the respondents, roes, but the court
thought it unnecessary to hear him.
The Chief Justice said it seemed to him that In this case
the revising barrister had put the proper construction upon
the act of parliament, applicable to this case, and that he
was correct in rejecting the vote ; and therefore that they
mast affirm the decision of the revising barrister. No doubt
this wee • case of the greatest importance, because persons
in the present state of opinion or want of information of the
general bearing of the law so acted, that if the statute was
rigidly enforced, it would disfranchise a very large number
of householders in London and elsewhere. Thu attention
of pereons was not drawn to • matter of t until a de-
mand for them was made, and they did not go, as ho
thought they were bouud to go, under the proviaiuns of the
act of parliament, and pay their taxes, when they were due,
quarterly. The difficulty of the caw bad arisen from the
framer of the recant statute endeavouring to °enter •
longer time for the payment of taxes, without parti-
cularly bearing in mind the time at which they are
to be paid. Thus his talented friend General Evan., the
member for Westminster, who, he believed, brought
in the bill had not done that which he intruded. The
Reform Bill was framed with a different view and in a very
different manner. That statute refers particularly to the
payment of tales, but they are taxes which would have been
demanded in September and March, and accordingly the
day selected by the Reform Act was at such period, that a
demand would take place before the payment was to be
made ; for a person was not entitled under that Act to hold
the franchise unless the taxes aro paid before the 20th Joly
which were due in April. By the terms of the Act these
taxes would be demanded in March, and so there would be
a demand before the 20th July, when they must be paid.
The framers of the Reform Act bore in mind tb m minute
marten which so frequently escaped the notice of legislator.,
but it was not so with the other act. If before the 20th of
July a voter paid the taxes demanded in March he would
pay up to April, and if he chose to wait for notice be must
pay • quarter beyond January ; but if he did not like to do
that he must go to the collector and pay him the tax due in
January. As to the point that the tax was not pay-
able until demanded, upon that point there really
was no difficulty whatever. The amassment was made
for a year, and by the original act it was to be demanded
within ten days after the ressipt of the warrant, but the
second act fixed the period when it was payable, stating ex-
pressly that it should he paid by quarterly instalments, and
theta to avoid what seemed to be • hardship, that you might
sue for the tax without notice by the sheep prerogative
process, the 43 Geo. 111. mid that there should be a de-
mand before execution, by seising the goods. Then his
brother Kinglake said that there were certain words which
treated payment and levy as equivalent terms, but what
had be. n said by his brother Maule during the discussion
answered that; it meant a compulsory levy, and it did not
follow that payment necessarily involved a previous de-
nand.

Mr. Justice Mauls said he quite agreed with the Lord
Chief Justice, that the new act did not give all the relief
which was intended to be given by it. As to a different
meaning from the ordinary one being pet upon the word
payable, such a construction could only be called in aid
when the words of the act itself were peculiar; such as to
induce the court to believe that they must have been used
in some different sense, which he did not think was the cue
here. The words were, that the voter must pay, before the
20th July, all taxes that shall have become pept-
ide from him before the 6th of January, and
then the question was what taxes breams payable at that
time. That depended upon the act of parliament imposing
the tax, and the act provided that tho tax should be pay-
able quarterly in express terms. Thee however, are not
demanded except half-yearly, but still, they are payable,
and would be received at the time mentioned in the act. The
words of the act were words of clear, simple, plain sense ; they
ought to be so understood; and you could not undentand
them in any other sense without departing from the ordi
sense and imposing another sense on the words. Ha
dou whether anything would justify them in saying
that scything else was meant. There were some words in
an set of parliament to which only one meaning could be
applied, they were so plain. For instance, if au act of par-
' !lament said something as to number, naming three or four
things, the court could not bold that the legislature meant
300 or 400, nor if the sum 11. was mentioned, could they
say the term meant 2de. or 15s. The language of the net
now in question could not be construed different from the
meaning he had put upon it, without doing • similar trio-
,' ' lance to language. This being his opinion, be came to the
conclusion that this claimant had net complied with the
conditions imposed upon him before he could get a vote;
and therefore his claim bad been properly disallowed by
the revising barrister.
Mr. Justice Tallourd concurred with the other judges.
Decision slimed, with costs.
HAMILTON 0. BUN. _ _

This was an appeal from the eastern division of Cum-
berland, and arose out of the following circumstances:
Thirty persons were entitled to certain property, worth
01. • year, but the repairs for which averaged 41. a year,
and if this sum were deducted the value would be reduced
below 60!., and each person's share would be a tribe under
the value of 405., requirtd to give a county qualification.
The revising barrister held that the amount of the repairs
' must be deducted, and disallowed the claim.
The Court held that he was right in so doing, sad

The question in this eau was whether a house and gar-
den, held by James Besseley, were held together within
the meaning of the 27th section of the Reform Act. Both
the house and garden were rented at one time, and of one
landlord, bat they were sot adjacent ; and if you wanted
to get from the bons* to the garden, you must pass out at
the front door, and go up the street for 60 yards where
there was en entrance to the garden. The revising banister

to Dr. Black as his agent, who would pay all just demands

Mr. Jardine ssid—it teems to me that this case remains
much in the same rate as it was left in after the first ex-
amination. It was made out then, upon evidence which
would no doubt satisfy a jury, that the watches found in
the possession of erstleberg were the property of Mr. Junes ;
but then the question arises, what evidence is there upon
which a jury could convict him of 'toiling it 1 Here is a
very small part of a very large robbery found in the sh p of
obscure workman at the cast end of town ; and when the
constables came suddenly upon him with an inquiry re-
specting the cases which he had given to Ashley, he pre-
varicated in • way which, after ell, is the chief
cause of his being brought here upon the present
charge; but, almost immediately afterward., he givre.
what seems to be a truthful account of the way in which
the property came into his possession, and his statement is

bers erased from the name-plates. lie took them openly to
the witnesses, who, front the practices prevailing in the
trade, did not think the orders given them at all auspicious
or extraordinary. Ile even carried the watch-cues to the
very man who has given the information upon which the
present inquiry was founded. Now it is not the duty of a
magistrate to send a ease before • jury uule,s he has
sortable grounds fur the belief that the jury will convict
him ; and I do not believe that any jury would convict
either of these men upon the evidence 11,, it now stands.
Mr. Jones and thu police hove had ample time and oppor-
tunity given them to strengthen the case against them ;
and, failing in this, I do not feel justified in detaining them
any longer in custody. The prisoners must therefore he
discharged.
No order was given respecting the watches found at
Castleberg's, which will probably remain in the possession
of the police.
