This was the last day of Easter Term. Mr. Justice B►YL.EY
sat in the Bail Court, to hear justidcation of bail, in those cases
in which the parties had not yet ed to 4ustitj•. The rcst of
the Judges sat in Court, and olkd open the Junior Cour.scl, as is
usual on the last day of Term, to move in rotation till they came
to the Attorney-General, who is the last called upon to move on
that day.
MANDAMUS.

Mr. COOPER applied to the Court to issue a mandamus to
the Justices of Peace in London, directing them to licence Jae's
Coffee-house, 31itre-court, Fleet-street. 31r. Cooper read the
Act of Parliament, and the affidavit of the person making the
application. The affidavit stated that ha had applied to 3larsh,
the beadle of that district, who is commonly consulted as to the
fitness or unfitnero of the applicants, received his consent, and
came forward with proper ice:lob:awes, but the Justices refuses.
to grant hi:n a licence, or even to hear hint. Ilia case they said
had been considered. This took place during his absence. Mr.
Cooper contended that this was a ease of great hardship, and hoped
the Court would issue their otandanins to oblige the Justices to
grant the licence, as he said they had no right to withhold it.
The Cults. JUSTICE—They have the power, 31r. Coopers
that is expressly stated in the Act.
Mr. COOPER—WeII, my Lord, I hope the Court will grant a
rule to show cause why the Magistrates should not hold a meeting
to hear the statements of the applicant, and consider whether his
recognixances are satisfactory.
The Otter JUSTICE-11'e have no objection to that, and it
will most probably be found that they have a good reason for with-
holding the licence.
