instead of a colonnade, as they had promised; the comae-
wiener of which was, that his shop was node darkened, and
its men ishfiged to work the whole day by caisslielight, to

ing the serious inconvenience which hr was labouring tan-

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, We6CATIDITER,

MOSELY WOOLF.
Mr. ClicrrY, at Ott rising of the Court at one o'clock,
moved for 14 writ of terari fartas, for the purpose of levy-
ing "win Defendant's goods and chattles the amount of
the. him of 10.04)44. which, as past of Ins Selliellee ou Fri-
day, 1w Was adjudged to pay to the King, un an affidavit,
Isich stated, that after the sentence had passed 0114111 the
Daelld3lll, persons on his behalf were employed in el:lodes-
lowly 141131111511 E 1411,44'1y to • very considerable 'snouts*,
f his house and pi-saws'', for the purpose of conveying
it out of she country, which purpose would bate been effect-
ed but fur the interposition of the Lord Mayor, who had
144111 some of his officer* to prevent the removal of the pro-
w's'', part of which had burn actually curls sl oti and trace,'
to the Dover side, in order lo he conveyed un board a ship
bound for Holland. After the Learned Counsel had stated
the o'sj.ct of 1114 Innr ~,,,,
Mr Justice BtvLiY (the Lord Chief Justice being absent
loslolsng tittings at Guildhall) hating conferred with Mr.
Dealtry, of the Crowti•ollice, as to the practice in CAWS
Wheal! She Cl/1111 bad adjudged Defendants to pay fines
to
the Crown, Sllllrptlard and asked whether the judarnelit,
as
prmosnucrd agatost the Defend:sot. authorised the Shemio to
take out ettees.tion to levy the fine
Mc. CHITTY siihmitted that it did, for by the judgment
the fine became a debt to the Crown 1101SrUllrer, the sentence
being, " that hr du pay," &e.
Mr. !attire BANLIIT asked of the Learned Counsel, if

hoe. any instance in which the Ciotti had directed a lerari
facia* to i-stie fur such parpuee
Mr. CHITTY said, be bail made diliTent search, and had
found no instance; but be *Omitted that the Court, under
the urgent cireantatasces of the case, and upon
would interpose its authority to prevent the clandestine
removal of the Defendant's property, so as to evade the
itenti site of the Court
;Mr Juotiee BATLET--" An 110 instance can be found ne
quoted to authorise rad) • proceeding, the Court can give
110 ditections upon the subject. Al whose Maumee is this
application tirade,"
Mr. CHITTY replied, that in effect it was made in behalf
of the Sheriffs of LOll/1011i but in fact all parties were its-
teieeted in sotto a proceeding. The Lout Mayor's officers
were now is pormasion; lint witless the authority of the
Court was interposed, the Defendant's property would be at
his own disposal.
Mr. Jamie* Ball'LET—•" The Court do nut authorise the
is,utue sf such proem; but if jun are entitled to it by law,
the law is opts to you."
Mr. Chitty took nothing by his mnlioa.
It is said that 11w 'novelty of the Decadent attempted to
be removed is worth nearly 10,11001. a circumstance of con-
sidetable moment to the Sheriffs of Loudon fur the time
below, who, by the charter of Londus, are eatitled to the
fine imposed upon the Defendant.
At one o'clsok the JuJitta of this Court adjourned to the
Emit, qurr Chamber, to meet the other Judges, for the pur-
pose of privately considering certain crimival cases resersied
on the I rte Circuits.

Jisposed of I . among which was the following
THE RING C. BRICE.
The Defendant, a most respectable solicitor at Bristol,
was inducted for perjury, arisirg out of the following cir-
cumstance :
A Bill had been tarried through Parliament for bnildiug
a new gaol at Bristol, sod Commissioners wrre appuisited be
receive trotters for the erection of the same. Mr. Mills,
?surveyor at Bristol, sent m plaits and • tender, which the
Commiwimicrs slid not adopt He then brought his action
ag•in4 Owns fur breach of contract, and Mr. Brice, alto
was S.lititur to the Commisioners, deposed, that Mr.
Mills. at a merlin; on the Sib of March last, withdrew his
Leader, after behaving is a disrespectful manner to the Com-

missiowers. Ile added, that life. 111.18 no architect, I
and that a Mr. George, one of the Commissioners, lafromed
ilia rest, that Mills had been thisuj,,sta by the Avon
Canal
Company for embezzlement. The assignment of perjury
set out the shove, and it was alleged that Mr. Brice
had not only sworn falsely, hut that he was not tees/lit at
the meeting of the Nth of Match, when Mm. Mills was stated
to have withdrawn his tender.
In the course of a very long trial the Defendant appeared
to have given correct evidence, suit the Jury seirtittrd Inm.
