LAW INTELLIGENCE- (THIS DAY.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco.)
HARGRAVES V. HAYES.

Mr. Millword applied to set aside an order of Mr.
Justice Erle, made at chambers, for the arrest of the
defendant, on the ground—first, that the affidavit on
which the order was made was bad on the face of it.
The affidavit stated that the defendant was " justly and
fairly indebted to the plaintiff in the sum of 251. 6s. 6d.,
balance of account for railway stock and shares sold by
him to the defendant," but did not state "delivered,"
as required in accordance to law and the rule of the
Court ; secondly, that the affidavit, which stated it was
an affidavit in the cause, was wrong, because it was
dated the day before the issue of the writ, and, conse-
quently, there could be no jurisdiction when the cause
was not in court ; and thirdly, the terms of the act were
that the affidavit should state a belief the defendant was
about to leave the country, unless " forthwith appre-
hended," which he had omitted to do.
The Court were unanimously of opinion the order
could not be set aside on the grounds stated by the
learned counsel, and refused the application.
PALCER V. NOTT AND ANOTHER.
Mr. Unthank showed cause against a rule obtained
for a writ of prohibition against the Judge of the County
Court of Middlesex, to prohibit his further proceeding
in the case, and the question turned on that clause of
the County Court Act which excluded from the juris-
diction of County Court judges all questions of title.
This was an action of trespass, and it appeared from the
learned counsel's statement that the property in ques-
tion consisted of a small wooden tenement built on
some land adjoining Bow-road, the whole of which bad
been for years the property of Bow, in right of his rec-
tory, in whose possession it had been for a considerable
number of years, and had been held by persons under
lease from him and previous rectors. for more than 50
years. About Nov., 1854, the defendants Nott and
Tipper got an old woman named Palmer, who was al-
most in eitremis, to execute a will in their favour, giving
and devising all her real and personal estates whatsoever

and wheresoever to the defendants for the payment of two
legacies of 1001. each. Being in that condition they bad
to discover where the property was situated out of
which to get their legacies, and they went to the plaintiff
who held their property, from a person named Watkins
who had a lease from the rector (and who, the defendants
in their affidavits said they were informed by the late
Mrs. Palmer, held between her and the rector), and in-
formed him that as his time expired at Christmas if he
wished to continue in possession he must then and there
sign an unsealed document, purporting to be a lease,
which he did, on which Nott required him to pay a shil-
ling, but not having one Nott took one from his pocket,
put it on the table, and took it up again. At Christmas
the rector of Bow made arrangements for the continu-
ance of the tenantcy, on which the defendant put in a
distress, removed the goods and sold them, and for
which the action was brought in the County Court,
where the defendants without producing any documents
or proving receipt of rent set up their claim of title to
the property. The County Cou'rt Judge, however,
heard the cause, and held that their obtaining
the document in question was a fraud, and that
the plaintiff was entitled to recover. The learned coun-
sel contended the question of title never came into con-
sideration, and that the County Court judges had no
jurisdiction in the case.
The Court, however, considered that the question of
title rested on something more than statements, and that
the prohibition must issue.
ST. LEONARD'S, SHOREDITCH, V. THE GUARDIANS OF ST.
LUSE'S.

Mr. Pashley, Q.C., showed cause against a rule calling
on the guardians of St. Luke's, to show cause wby a
mandamus should not issue against them command-
ing them to repay to the parish of St. Leonard's,
Shoreditch, ,the sum of 911. 16s,- the amount of fees
paid for registering the births and deaths at the de-
fendant's workhouse, which was situated in the parish
of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch. After hearing the
learned counsel at some length on the various local acts
with reference to the workhouse and the general acts
for the support of the poor and the registration of births
and deaths, the Court directed the rule to be made
absolute.
