purchase-money of a parcel of lend, of which Lord Hard-
wick. was tenant for life with remainder to others in tail,
and upon which the company soon afterwards entered.

ETITTNIL-IN HS HOSPITAL OF ST. JOHN.

The orpiment' in this case, the facts of which were men
domed yesterday, were resumed by Mr. Follett on behalf of
the trustees under the appointment of the year 1836. Mr.l
Bothell, who was absent on the previous day, was beard on
the same aide. In the course of the argument an objection
was raised to the right of the petitioners, on the ground, as
contended, that there was no corporation as governor of the
charity in existence.
The Lord Chancellor said it seemed to him that he could
sot stop the case on the grounds suggested. The facts pre-
bested showed that there was some kind of corporation ; the
ease therefore having proceeded so far lie could not now
assume that thers.was no corporation. The objection should
have bees made at an earlier stage; he could not now inter
fere in the midst of the argument.
Mr. Bothell then proceeded with his argument.
Mr. Bolt was replying whoa the Lord Chancellor rate.

Ix THI MATTIR or BT. MARY MAODALIINIVIS CHARITY,

lIASTINGS.

This was a petition for inquiry as to who were the proper
objects of a charity called by the abovementioned name,
the funds of which had heretoforebeen paid over in equal
shares to the churchwardens of St. Clement's and AU
Saints, Meetings, for the benefit of the poor of the parish.
The parish church of St. Mary Magdalene had been
swept away, but the lands out of which the funds is-
sued remained, and were considered capable of being made
of increased value by letting out for building purposes.
Mr. James appeared in support of the petition, and
stated that the funds bad for egrest length of time been ap-
plied as stated in the petition on behalf of the poor of the
port and town of Hastings. The parish as a pariah had no
right to it ; bet it had been the constant custom to pay to
thechurchwardens.
_

His if;12091 4;la the inquiry had better be to whom and
in what manner the fund had hitherto been paid ? and the
master might approve of a scheme, and might inquire what
parishes there were within the port and town of Hastings.
Mr. Welch called attention to the fact that the petition
did not disclose the interest of the petitioners, or in fact
that thee bad any.
His Honour said that since the recent statute that wsa
not absolutely necessary.

in the Scotch courts, which damages, amounting
11:17,01Z., had been given in favour of the defendant in an

This was a petition by Mr. Carrick to discharge the
winding-up order which had been obtained in the above
company. The order had originally been made on the pe•
tidos of Mr. Warbartoo, a contributory, who had bent
, sued by Mr. Middleton, the solicitor of the company, for
' the amount of his bill of costs. The grounds upon which
it was now sought to discharge the order were, that the
petition far winding-up omitted t state certain facts
within the knowledge of the petitioner, which were mate-
rial ; secondly, that the petition was not served on the
proper parties; thirdly, that the whole proceeding win a
contrivance to obtain payment of the bill of costa, for which
the solicitor had no legal claim.
The arguments were not concluded at the rising of the
court.

Liedt Campbell thought the rule ought to be discharged

tion; sad, if the court had been aware of the facts now
mate/. the role would not have been granted. The plain-
tiff west before the magistrates, who adjudicated in his
Wear; but, not satisfied with the amount they awarded

a skim for wages, both in his plaint and when he came

had me jurisdiction. It would lead to monstrous cense-
quahogs if that court compelled the judges of county courts,
fa every case of this kind to produce their notes, and be
heard by counsel to justify their decisions. If the court
found that they had acted with perfect propriety, as Mr.
Pollock had done in this case, they were entitled to the
proteetioa of the court. The court looked with the highest
respect at the honourable position which the judges of
county courts occupied in the administration of the justice
of the country.
The other learned judgeo concurred.
Rule discharged, with oosta.

The Chief Julies—Lewis represented Jana; ther•
was no doubt about that. The truth wea, be had charged
foe a assreb, which would be properly made upon memo
process, sad not upon anal process, but the °Meets always
did it. The. he took his poundage on hie own fees, which
I showed the =muter in which thew gentlemen aside out
their foss. He saw the able representative of the Under-
sheriffs there, and he hoped they would at once get rid of the
pence in gaieties as an carer.
Mr. Bramwell—The party who bad acted was not an

Th; Chief Justiee—No ; but he wee employed by the
*Meer.
Mr. Bramwell—There was the charge of Bs. for the search
and discharge.
The Chief Jostler —There was no pretence for that.
It was taken in direct defiance of the act of parliament.
Mr. Bramwell Then it was desirable it should be

The Chief Justice—Nobody knew that better than the
sheriff's °Seers.

Mr. Bramwell—There were perhaps 1,000 writs now in
the bends of officers upon which nothing had been done,
and if the fee for search was not allowed the officers would
not be compelled to search, and the consequence would be
great inconvenience.
The Chief Justice—How could the 4s. 61. for the dis-
charge be justified?
Mr. Bramwell submitted that under the list of fees
authorised by the act this charge was properly made, and
under that list the fee had been always taken.
The Chief Justice—Was it meant to say that if • party
paid the debt at once there was u fee fur the discharge of
the goods?
Mr. Bramwell—That was the construction which bad
been placed upon the rule of court.
The Chief Justice—The rule meant that the charge
should be made where something was done, where there
was a suposedeas, writ of error liberati or discharge.
What " discharge " was there here ? Then there was the
Gs. for the man in possession.
Mr. Bramwell—He was clearly entitled to take that.
The Chief Justice—lf there was a man in possession.
Mr. Bramwell took it that the man was in possession
Si won as the officer who had the warrant left. Here
the writ was directed to Hmanuel Jones, and he had
brought with him a man named Dunning, and left him
there.
_ _ _

The Chief Justice—How long was he there ?
Mr. Bramwell—llalfan hour.
The Chief Justice—The rule of court was that a mace
should be left in possesiion when "absolutely necessary."
This man looked at the goods, and while he was looking at
the goods the money was paid.
Mr. Bramwell—Two men were left there, one to take the
inventory, and one to keep possession, and the law did not
take notice of a fraction of a day. If he was left in posses-
sion at all, he was entitled to the 6s. Ile submitted that
this charge was entirely justified. If only one of these
items was overcharged, lie admitted that this rule must be
made absolute, but it must he remembered that as to the
11., Jones had all ho could to get rid of it, and he had
only taken it in consequence of the blunder of Shaw in
casting up the amount. In fact, 11. is. 10d. and the costs
had since been paid.
The Chief Justice—The amount of debt and costs was 191.
odd, and Jones then charged his fees and added his pound-
age, in order to charge poundage upon it. It was a scandal-
ous abuse and a gross extortion, although the amount was
sm

Mr. Bramwell did not question that Lewis might have
incurred any punishment which the court might think fit
for the mistake which he had made. . .

The Chief Justice—Be made no mistake against himself.
If a sheriff's officer employed a matt of that sort he ought
to suffer for it, and that pretty severely.
Mr. Justice Maule—ln getting a cheap man he had got
an unskilful one, and no doubt the difference of wages
would pay the fine.
Mr. Bramwell—Mr. Jones had tried all he could to get
rid of the 11., and he did ultimately return tbu 11.75. ltd.
The question was whether Jones should be punished for
the default of Lewis, when the court had power to punish
any "officer or minister acting in the execution of process."
If the maxim that the superior was liable were to be
acted on, he submitted that the court should proceed
against the Sheriff himself, and not against Jones. If this
course were not pursued, he submitted that Lewis himself
should be punished. It was true that two persons might
be guilty of the same offence ; but their lordships would
hardly, in such a case, say that there were two criminals,
where in react there was only one.
Mr. Justice Kaule—Did the Sheriff's officer receive this
money
Mr. Bramwell—lie positively denied that he ever took
one shilling of it; and when he found the mistake out, it
was dear las did all he could to set it to rights.
Mr. Foeteecue, in support of the rule, addressed the
court epos the affidavits, and contended that those pro-
duced fa answer to the rule were not satisfactory.
The Chief Justice stopped him, however, in the course of
the argument, and said be was of opinion that this rule
must be made absolute. The statute required the court to
proceed against the party for contempt of court, if more fees
than were allowed by the rule of court made under the
statute were taken by any officer or minister acting in the
execution of process. This wax a penal matter; but the
circumstances of the case clearly showed that Janes was
connected with and responsible for Lewis, his follower.
The first question was, whether more than was right bad
been taken ; and there was nu doubt that this was so. As
to poundage, he had charged it upon his own fees. lie
had, it was true, offered to return 11. 7s. Ild. which bad
been received, and that amount must go in reduction of
the overcharge. But there were still three items in dis-
cussion, two of which the court were of opinion were
clearly improper. The act allowed Is. for a man in posses-
sion when not boarded and when " absolutely necessary,"
and the question was whether it was necessary in this case.
I 1 had consulted the officer of the court, who was not cer-
tain that the charge was bad, and therefore the court would
not say that it was against the act of parliament. As
to the 3s. 6d. for a search, the court was of
opinion that it was clearly an extortion, It was said that
it was the universal practice to charge it, and if so, it was
high time that the 'practice should be discontinued. As to
the charge of es. 61. for release of the goods, that was •
charge applicable to writs of supereedeos, or for the " re-
lease of defendants from custody or of goods," but here
there was no release of goods, fur the debt was paid out
when the execution went in. The 3s. Gd. fir search, and
45. 6d. for discharge, were therefore clearly in excess be-
-B.d the 11. 7s. ltd. returned. The officer had extorted
~ and the rule would be made absolute for an attachment
for that extortion ; but it would lie in the office for a fort-
night, and if the 81. and the costs of this rule were paid in
that time, then the attachment should remain in the office
until the fifth day of next term, when an application could
be made to the court, and the attachment would probably
be discharged.
Buie absolute accordingly.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-YESTERDAY.

PILL V. DAVIIS.—Tits "Box SNAT."

Ms. Bums

This was an action to recover a 64., the damages which
the plaintiff had sustained in consequence of the defendant's
having broken his contract to let him have the " box seat "
on his coach, the Greyhound, from Aberystwith to Shrews-
b Defendant pleaded that he did not promise.
George Pell, the plaintiff, said-1 am a solicitor, preens-
' lag at Welford and Northampton. In September last I was
staying with my family at the Bellevue Hotel, Aberystwith.
Oa the 10th of that month I had occasion to go home upon
hippest business, and I proposed to travel by coach to
Illussnburritand then to take the railway. There were two
washes to rewsbury, the Greyhound and the Prince of
both of which protested to start from Aberystwith
at 7 a.m.„ and to arrive at 6 p.m. in time to catch the Lon-
don train. On the previous day I gave Instructions to the
waiter to book me a box seat by the Greyhound, and I gave
him a sovereign for that purpose. Neat morning I sent to
the cos& a great coat, in the pocket of which was a writing-
ease containing securities of great value. I proceeded to
the °each, and found the coachman on the box and a gentle-
men seated beside him. I said to the gentleman, "That
seat is mine." The gentleman bad no time to reply, for the
ssasinnan said, "Oh, I can't be bothered with disputes about
the box lest, you must get up or I shell go on." I replied,
"'few mast not as so or I shall post on to Shrewsbury at
pow expense." the clerk or book-keeper at the coach
wed me, and then made an observation to the
eaalran. The coachman refilled with an oath, and, the
OPrliftion coach appearing at that moment, he (the coach-
Ma of the Greyhound) plied his whip and started off down
the street at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour. I re-
turned to the Bellevue, and took a fly to Shrewsbury. I
tame up with the coach at Machynnthlith, where I received
bulk my great coat.
Cross-examined—l will undertake to say that I was at
the coach-office five minutes before seven by my own watch,
which I had taken the trouble of comparing on the previous
day with Aberystwith time. There was also a public clock
within view, and it wanted a minute to seven by that. He
did not ask me to get up behind ; he ordered me to get up.
I think I saw the coachman at Machynnthlith, but I did not
speak to him.
Edwin James, a waiter at the Bellevue, Charles Reed
Marshall, son of the proprietor of that hotel, and Devitt
Humphreys, the porter, proved the engagement of the seat.
The post-boy deposed that when he reached Machynnthlith
ho was sent by the plaintiff to the coachmen to tell hint
that he would post all the way to Shrewsbury if he could
not get the box seat. The coachman said, "Oh ! be
