COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
Yesterday was the gra day of Easter Tenn.—The Judges who eat in
Beam were the Lord Chief Justice, sad Justices Pennon, Wight-
man, and Erie.
Toe QUEEN O. ADAMS.—HABEAS CORPI7B.-111 this
ease two very old ladies, sisters, were brought up from
Whitecrose-street prison on return to a writ of habeas
corpus. It appeared that in the year 1841 they had pleaded
guilty to an indictment for libel, and had subsequently been
committed to prison on failing to put in bail for their appearance
to receive judgment. Since Hilary Term,lB4o, they had been
in the custody of the Sheriffs of London, supported at the ex-
pense of the visiting justices of Whitecross-street prison, un-
I willing to take any step for leaving such comfortable quarter,,
slid unmolested by the prosecutor, who refused to move the
judgment of the court against them. Mr. Lush now moved
that they should be discharged, unless the prosecutor would
pray judgment on them. Mr. Peacock opposed the applica-
tion on en affidavit which set forth that the defendants were
in the habit of repeating the charge contained in the libel.
Lord Denman observed that the defendant, could not be kept
in prison to prevent them from repeating the offence. He
then ordered them to he called up for judgment, and sen-
tenced them to pay a fine of one shilling, and enter into their
own reciognisances, each in the sum of 1001., to be of good
behaviour for the period of two years. This sentence did not
seem to meet the views of the old ladies, who replied to the
terms of the recognisance, when read to them by the officer,
by a torrent of incoherent exclamations, from which, how-
ever, it was easy together that they were unwilling to leave '
the prison, end had, before they were removed from the
court, forfeited their recognisance', if indeed they could be
said to have entered into them.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Bitting', in Baum
The learned judges who preside for the present term are
Sir F. Pollock, C. 8., Barons Parke, Rolfe, and Platt.
Bonn r. DievelAN.— THE SLAV! TRADE.—TRIAL AT
Elsa.—The plaintiff and two ether Spanish subjects, named
Jiminey and Martinez, brought three several actions against
the Ron. Captain Denman, who, while commanding
■ British vessel stationed upon the coast of Africa for
the ouppresaion of the slave trade, entered the territory of
an independent 'native prince, and set at liberty several
slaves, the property of the plaintiffs, who were notorious
stealers in them. To those actions Capt. Denman pleaded
that he had acted in the several matters complained of under
the authority of the British crown, and in pursuance of the
provisions of a convention entered into between Great
Britain and Spain for the suppression of the slave trade.
That plea was demurred to, and argued at great length
mate years ago ; since which, nothing was hard of the cues
until yesterday, when the Attorney-General informed the
court that the interests of the crown were involved in
them, and it was thought expedient to have them
tried at bar. No day was named for the
trials, but the officer was ordered to take a note of the
learned Attorney-General's suggestion, to that the writs of
nisi press should not be issued.
