LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, THURSDAY, AralL.27.

(Sititrigs is Beam)
IT TUE If OT ROBERT ELTON, ESQ.
Mr. CITRWOOD applied to the Court, for the estenaion of the
rules of the King's Bench Prison to Mr. Robert Bligh, who is in
the custody of the Marshal of this Court, for a breach of the
peace towards the soh of the Earl of Darnley, after articles had been
exhibited. The ground of the Learned Counsel's application was
the extreme ill.health of Mr. Bilgh, and a certidcate of a surgeon,
stating that the defendant required constant medical attendance,
which could not be very easily procured in the King's Bench
Prison. _ _ .

The LORD Cuter JUSTICZ said he could not listen to the
certificate of a surgeon ; he ought to have made an affidavit.
Mr. Justice BATLRY said the most the Court had ever been in-
duced to do for Mr. Nigh was. to suffer him top in the custady of
a timtaf to With on some emergency, when his personal attendance
there was shsolutely necessary. But that ;as not the otvect of the
'Resent application.
7'l e COURT, t.fier consulting, then decided, that upon the cam
now submitted to them, they could not accede to the opplicatiow.
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in passing
judgment upon offenders against the revenue laws. Nothing ma-
terial appeared In any of the cases.
At two o'clock the Lord Chief Justice sat at Nisi Priem and
took Aliddleses Common Jury causes, none of which possessed the
slightest feature of interest.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

PUBLIC THOROUGHFARES.

Mr. STEVENS presented a petition from the inhabitants of
Gracechurch—street, complaining of the general nuisance of the
stand of coaches placed before their doors. Carriages were pre-
vented approaching their doors, and they were thus deprived of
some of their nest profitable business. They had applied
to the Commissioners of Sewers, to the CommisAnners of Hackney
Coaches, and to the City Magistrates, who all declared that they
had no power to relieve them. It was said by some that this
Court had power to alter or remove the stands. This power had
certainly been exercised about forty years ago, and it was desirable
to know how it had fallen into disuse, as the position of these stands
was a subject of the greatest importance to the shopkeepers In the
City. One opinion was, that whilst the number of coaches at each
stand did net exceed if., the Corporation had not the power to inter.
fere. He concluded by moving that the petition should be referred
to the Committee for General Purposes.
After some observations from 31r. OLDHAM, the motion was
agreed tn.
Mr. HICKS presented a similar petition from the Inhabitants of
Cheapsitie. Not a day passed without some accident, in come-
r] nence of the positions of the stands. Persons of wealth gradually
discontinued frequenting the shops in such thoroughfares, and re-
sorted to new streets. which were better regulated.
. .

Mr. S. Dixon said there was one thing ottcn forgotten in such
applications, namely, to provide • place to which the inconvenience
might be transferred. The coach-stands in Comhill and other
places were found to be equally injurious by shopkeeper', who had,
throughout the line of thoroughfares, an equal claim to he re-
lined. But where were the coaches to be placed? Ile remem-
bered that when the Inhabitants of Leadenhall applied to have the
market for akin* removed, they were asked what other part of she
City was tq be saddkd with the nuisance ? They replied, "Oh we
do not care who has it, so that we get rid of it." (Laughter.)
Mr. HICKS said that recesses from the main streets should be
formed for the reception of hackney coaches, as in Paris. The
space at present occupied by Honey-lane Market might be advan-
tageously made use of for the hackney-coaches attached to Cheap.
side, and the market, which was not wanted there, done away with.
Alderman WOOD bore testimony to the great injury done to the
traffic of the City by these obstructions. Members of Parliament,
and others, would go any way rather than drive through Fleet.
street, or Cheapside, to get to the Bank. Ile considered that an
Act of Parliament would be necessary fur the regulation of the
stands, as, he believed, the last Act took away the power formerly
exercised by the Corporation on the subject.
The motion was carried unanimously, and the petition was re.
ferred to the same Committee.
