COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
SATURDAY, MAY 11.
TUB IMO V. THE CORPORATION OP BRISTOL.
This was a ittanda ttttt s obtained by Mr. Griffiths, late a
magistrate of the Sliadwell Police Office, but now at the
New Office, Mar)lebotte, ordering the Corporation of
Bristol to chew why they refused to restore Mr. Griffiths
to the sititation of Steward of the Sheriff's Court, Bristol,
from which they had, as he aileged, improperly removed
him. The defendants now in their return to the
mus, alleged that the duties of the Steward rerptired
a constant residence at Bristol; that he ought to hold a
Court every week for the trial of causes or issue of rules,
and other business, that np to the time of Mr. Griffiths
being appointed a Police Magistrate of the metropolis, he
had regularly discharged such ditties, bait that, since hat
period, in ISIS, he neglected so to do, having amongst
other instances of neglect, attended, in 1819, at only five
out of Si Courts hidden between June and September,
and therefore, after due notice given him, they had re-
moved him, and proceeded to the election of a new
Steward.
Mr. Griffiths now, in support of the mandamus, 'con-
tended that the office of Police Magistrate of the metro-
polis did not at all interfere with his dirties as Steward of
the Sheriff's Court, Bristol, none of which he had ever
neglected, and that the Corporation had removed him
irregularly, and without cause.
The Court, however, held, that on the face of Ibis
return it appeared to them Mot the two offices were in.
compatible, and therefore, that the Corporation were
jastified in reproving Min and proceeding to a new elec-
tion. If the statement of the Corporation was incorrect,
Al r. Griffiths might have his remedy iu au action for a false
return.

The freeedom of the Corporation of Nottingham
has been vuted to Joseph Hume, Esq. M. P.
