THE PROSECUTION OF EX-OOVERNOR

NSW.

BOW-STRANT.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Eyre, late Governor of Jamaica, appeared
before Mr. Vaughan, to answer a summons issued a few
days since at the instance of Mr. John Stuart Mill, K P., sad
Mr. Peter A. Taylor, M.P., on the charge of misconduct in_
that capacity.
Mr. R. P. Collier and Mr. J. Horne Payne conducted
the cam ; and Mr. Rose defended Mr. Eyre, who occupied
• seat at the 'actor's table.

Mr. Vaughan said that before proceeding with the muse
he wished so call Sir R. P. Collier's attention to a technical
objection.
Yr. Rose hoped he plight first be allowed to make an
application for the adjonenment of the case, an Kr. Rye's
moue was unable to attend.

Mr. Vrotrihan seid that Mr. Eyre would not be pre-
judiced. If the objection mold not bo anewerei tho
. _

summons would be dismissed. If Sir R. P. Collier could
meet it to his satisfaction, and could convince him that
he ought to go on with the case, then be would take care
that it should be adjourned for the attendance of ooutiseL
The learned magistrate proceeded to explain the nature
of the technical objection, which was substantially that
though the statute under which thew proceedings were
taken provided that the depositions should be sent to the
Court of Queen's Bench, he had no power to commit the
prisoner to that court, bat only to courts of oyer and
terminer, i e., in this instance, the Central Criminal Court
or Middlesex Sessions.

Sir R. P. Collier costended at con►iderabie length that
the Court of Queen's Bench is a court of over and terminer,
and referred to authorities in support of that view.
Kr. Vaughan, however, held that it wee not a court of
over and terminer for the purpose of this prosecution, and
held that he had not jurisdiction. If Sir R. P. Collier
still thought he had, he might apply to the Court of
(Nigel Bench fora mandamus to compel him to go on.
At present he &slimed to exercise jurisdiction, but should
adjourn the sees to give time for an application to the
Lord Chief Justice.
