COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—JAN. 26.
[Sittings in Banco.]
THE QUEEN V. CAMPBELL.—In this case certain payments
made by the guardians of the poor of Liverpool to the rector,
the Rev. Mr. Campbell, had been disallowed by the auditor.
The point rested upon'the construction of the sections of the
10th Geo. IV., c. 11, as to a table of fees payable to the
rector, and which was to be fixed by certain commissioners
for burials in cemeteries. A rule for a certiorari had been
obtained for bringing up the order of the auditor.—Lord
Campbell said the court had no power to alter these fees.—
Rule discharged, but without costs.

COURT FOR CROWN CASES.—JAN, 26.
THE, QUEEN V. Mo —This was an indictment, charging
the prisoner with having stole!? £5,000, the property of
the Crown, he being at the time in the employ of the
Crown. The prisoner was a collector of the inland revenue,
in the county of Chester, and had become a defaulter to a
large amount. When called .upon to pay the amount he
had collected, as well as a previous sum of £3OO for excise
duties, which be had not paid, he stated that he had only
£250 in the world. It was objected, on the trial, that the
evidence did not show a receipt, and misappropriation, of
any particular sum of money, so as to make the prisoner
guilty of stealing. The judge who tried the case at the
Chester assizes, reserved the point whether the conviction
should be supported. It was now contended that the
indictment ought to have charged the prisoner with
embezzling specific sums on particular days. The Lord
Chief Baron said that, to remove all difficulty about the
oase, the court thought there was sufficient in the smaller
sum of £3OO to justify a conviction, which would there-
fore be oonented•
