CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Mr. CAMPRELL moved for a rule to show cootie why a criminal
information should not be filed against the Mayor of Southampton,
and certain Commissioners of the town and port of Southampton,
for haring levied duties on the King's subjects, contrary to the
provisions of two Acts of Parliament, ot• the 43d and aUth Geo. ll r,
for making a dock, basin, and warehouses, tot the accommodation
of shipping and goody brought into the port. It was alleged that
the Comnwsioners were in the habit of exacting certain cares given
by 'Nose Acts, although the purposes for which they were passed
had not been carried into execution ; and that they continued to
exact them, notwithstanding a decision agaiost them by this Court
in two actions, brought in 1824, by Mr. Ward. a public.spitited
inhabitant of Southampton.
The Coultx inquired what ground there. was for supposing that
the C'•otnmissooners acted corruptly ?
Mr. CASI vncLt. tutlnitted, that if the Commissioners persisted
in _taking duties, in the face of a decision of this Coon, and that
they hail no right to do in point of kw, this was a snificient
ground for an information.
Mr. Justice BAYLICY suggested,that probably the Commissioners
were not satisfied with the decision of this Court, and wished to
carry the question to a higher tribunal.
The Loan Cuter J vSTICY. maid this Court would never sußv
the construction of an Act of Parliament, respecting a civil matter,
to be determined tluottitil.the medium of a criminal information.—
There was aiminer door open to the parties interested, but this
was certainly not a case for the sun:mai), interpusition of the
Court.
Rule refused.
THE NEW COURT.
The leinD CtttEt•• JUSTICE announced that the Judges of this
Court would take possession of the New Court in .IVesuuinster
Bali an Tuesday next.
At halt.pratt one the Judges rose, to mczt their brethren in the
