difficulty arose as to the making out of the warrant, as Mr.
Swift did not know the names of the men who had assaelled

issued against Mr. Merle and • annther of others whose
names were not known, who were to be pointed eat as

The Magistrate informed him it was eoutrary to practice

Mr. Nlisahull, the Magistrate, observed, that as the COM.
'assumes could not attend, un prwt•edinga could lake place
against those persons who were in custody. lie regretted
that he had held Mr Merle to hail ; but what be had done
was at his own request, and if the complaint was not fol-
lowed up, he slid not think that be should return the recogut-
genre to the Sessions.
Mr. Phiilips prayed for the discharge of the warrant.
The Magistrate refused to comply with that, but said it
should remain suspended.
Mr. Phillips complained of the conduct of Mr. Stocitdale
for the violence he had made use of its applying ■ sledee
hammer fur the breaking open of Iwo doors, for which vin.
lence he had used Sir !Debited uie's mime, and said he had
advised it, and had his autlsoiity.
M. Miushull said, he did not believe Sir Richard Biriiie
had sanctioned or given any such upi ll i,, n.
Mr. Phillips said, he did not believe it when be heard is,
as he knew Sir Richard Rustic was Lou welt acquainted with
the lase. lie elan observed that he should mike Mr. Stock-
dale answerable for his conduct 111 oilier respects, particu-
larly towards Mr. Merle.
Mr. Phillips applied for a warrant on the behalf of Mr.
Merle, and sanctioned by him, which the Magistrate agreed
to grant.
On arrangements being made for granting the wariest.
Mr. Merle extended his application fur a warrant agalait a
constable, whose name we understood to be Moore; but.the
Magistrate, 011 orcomideriag the whole of the eircumataures
of the case, refused to grant either of the warssists„ as it
would in sonic degree be cross.warraist., for it would be
granting weir-ants against parties who had already complain•
ed, he therefore referred Mr. Merle, and others who had
complaints to make, to the Sessions, which begin 'his day...
Mr. Phillips applied to the Magistrate fur his interference
to prevent the service of the warrant, which lie had been
pleased to suspend at the time the pall''r was about gsicui to
prcas, as it would injure the property by taking the persons
employed upon it into custody.
The Magistrate assured him that he would not allow such
conduct in the constables; be had use doubt but that it
would not take place.
