SITTINGS IN RANCO.—IKPOIR LORD CAMIDILL. ADD Jurricze TOLI•
RIMS" SRL; AND CROMPTON.

THE QUEEN V. THE EARL OF MORNINOTON. -QUO

In this cue a rule had been obtained calling on the
Earl of Morniogton to show cause why a quo warrant°
should not issue to remove him from the am of Warden of
Waltham Forest.
Mr. Petersdorff now showed cause against the rule; in
support of which Sir F. Thesiger and M►. Willes appeared.
The Court intimated that a quo warranto would be a most
inconvenient mode of trying Lord Morniogtou's right to the
office, and suggested that he should admit having received
money in virtue of the office, when an action could be
brought for money had and received, which would thus dis-
tinctly raise the issue.
This course was acoeded to.

BAIL COURT.-MAY 31.

SITTIAOII AT

CODD V. DADLEY.-ACTION OP TROVBEL.

This was en action brought to recover possession of cer-
tain goods, which it was alleged the defendant bed wrong-
fully seised and converted to hie own use, the property
vesting in the plaintiff as assignee under an order of the
Insolvent Court in the insolvency of one James Bennett.
The defendants pleaded not guilty, and that the goods were
not the property of James Bennett, and that the plaintiff
wan not {interned of the goods as assignee as alleged.
Mr. O'Malley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Edwin
James for the defendants.
It appeared that an action bad been brought by the
plaintiff against Bennett to recover some goods which he
had detained for some money due from the plaintiff to him.
The plaintiff succeeded in that action, and Bennett became
insolvent. The plaintiff became assignee of the nitrite, and
in endeavouring to realise it the defendants opposed him by
prating forward an alleged bill of saie, by which the plain-
tiff was prevented taking the property, and this action had
been brought.
The defence was that the defendants were the owners of the
White Horse, at Capel, and they had in 184 G let it to Bennett,
who ran up a bill with them of 106/., and on Codd bringing
his action they obtained a bill of sale from Bennett, to
secure the amount. The defendants, when they found that
the action was going against Bennett, pat in force the bill of
sale, and took possession of the goods in sati►faction of their
debt.
His lordship having summed up,
The jury found a verd•ct for the defendants.

Fitzroy Kelly. At the oonclusion of the arguments,
The Court said they were of opinion that the judgment of
the Court of Queen's Bench ought to be affirmed. They
had during the arguments entertained some doubt whether
the mandamus wee properly directed, but on that, and on
the main point, whether the names of certain parties were
properly enrolled on the register of the society, their doubt&
were removed. They were unanimously of opinion that the
mandamus bad been properly dincted, and tbrd. the names.
were properly enrolled. The charter made no provision foe
the keeping of the register at all. The per sons who were
entitled to have their names first enrolled r.n the registry
were those who ezisted at the time of the ',Hissing of the net
of parliament. The next wars those who had undergone an
examination, and who were certified as c',uly qualified. The
