county of Redford, of having taken three gime off the hinges.
and laid them across the high-road 1. sling from Stoney-Stratford
to Dunstable, in the night, just beinyc the time the Liverpool
mail passes by. In consequence of this, one of the horses
drawing the above-mentioned coach was iured.
The Court sentenced him to six months imprisonment in the
Bedford House of Correction ; and ordered Mete find sureties
for his good behaviour for 3 years.
THE. KING V. WM. ESQ. AND U. G. nAwsost, Esti,
These two defendants, the former a Member of Parliament for
the borough of Tabiworth in Staffordshire. and the other for
Londonderry, were brought up to receive the judgment of the
' Court. on an information filed against them (or having chal-
lenged Floyer, Essi, to fight a duel : to this information they
pleaded guilty. The quarrel arose front Mr. Floyer having
published sonic hand-biils, reflecting on the charac:er of Sir
Hobart Peel, the defendant's father, at the late election for
Tionworth. The circumstances of the ease have beer, already
before the public. Several affidavits of considerable length were
read on both sides.
Mr. Se:tilt:it and Mr. Niarryatt addressed the Court in aggra •
within ; and Mr. Gurney, Mr. Nolan, and the lion. 11. Eden
in mitigation of punishment.
The Court sentenced the two defendants to be conffni!d one
month in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshulsea, to ply
a fine of 3001. each. and to be hound to keep the peace for five
years. themselves in a recognizance of 4,0001. each, and two

COURT OF ING'a BENCH, SAT ritn.tY VEIL 5.
A writ of Habeas Corpus having been obtained some thlys ago
by Mr. Evans, to bring into the Court .101 in Cam I lobliouse,Esq.
who had been committed to New gate, by the Speaker of the
House of Commons, for a libel on that branch of the Legislature.
the said John Cam Iloblmuse was this day brought up by t irtae
of the writ so grunted. when the return of Mr. Brawn. the
Keeper of Newgate, in which the warrant of committal was
read. after which Mr. ilobliouse shldressed the Coma.
My Lords—lt is my intention to attempt to argue this ease
case myself. But from the hurtles, dike. hoar. as well as ft om
some indisposition under which I at present labour. I must re-
quest to hate the hettrir.g of this case deferred until another day.
Chief Justice Abbott It is probable that the Court may com-
ply with your request; but before this can be done. it is nrce,sary
that you should inform us to what point you imam to call our
attention.
Mr. Hoblmuse.—l mean, in the first place, my Lord, to submit
that there is en informality upon the very face of the warrant
which must entirely vitiate it; authority. My second objection
is, that the Ilmaseof Commons. by which I have been committed,
is not a Court of Judicature. And thirdly, that. even renurning
that it does poises the power of adjudication, still 1 contend, that
a material error has been committed in condemning me unheard,
thin depriving me df a right which belongs toevery Englislitnan.
My fourth objection is, that, even allowing the amtnription of
authority, the offence bur which I stand committed ought,
right to have been noticed by an action of common law.
After a short consultation with the other Judges. Chief Justice
Abbott informed Mr. Hobhouse that it would be impossible for
the Court to hear him upon any of the points which he mention.
ed. Inasmuch as a Court of law had no cognizance or power
over The proceedings of the House of Commons. This principle.
he maintained, had always been allowed. and had from time to
time been confirmed by different decisions: and by none more
decidedly than in theme of Sir F. Burdett against the Sheriff
for an illtsrai, I arrest, where a writ of error had been carried to tl:e
house of Lords, and they had affirmed the judgment of the
Court. The House of Commons had unquestionably a right to
commit any person for a contempt of Privileges; and surely they
were best qualified to judge what constituted a contempt.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY concurred in opinion with his learned
heathen
Mr. Justice Hoe.aoYD eapreased his opinion to be in unison
with those which had been just laid down.
Mr. Justice Brag took a comprehensive view of the subject,
in the course of which he observed. that he was now convinced
that a writ of Habeas Corpus ought not to be granted at all.
He perfectly agreed with the other Judges, in thinking
this Court bad no cognizance over the House of Commons.
Mr. HOl/1011SE.—Am I to understand that the Court will
not hear me further P
Chief Justice Aztoor.--Cartainly, Sir.

LONGEVITY.-At Colney Hatch, a village by the
side of Finchley Common, containing not a score
houses, are now resident the under mentioned per-
sons :—Thomas Collins, Esq Magistrate at Marlbo-
rough-street, aged 84; Mrs. Collins, wife of the
above, 87; Thomas Lennitte, Esq. 80; Thomas
Atkinson, Esq. his uncle, 84. At this place, like-
wife, a few years ago, died, John Pasley, EN. aged
78 ; three years buck, died, J Matthews, labourer
to Mr. Poudey, aged 86; last week, John Biggs, la-
bourer to Mr. Pasley, 10! ; three years ago, Richard
Down, Esq. banker, 80 or 81 ; and about the same
period, John Bacon, Esq. who was the same age as
the King. With the foregoing, probably, might be
mentioned, John Harding, who spent most of his'
life at Colney Hatch, as a gardener, but now of
Southgate, clerk of the chapel, aged 83.
On Thursday night the inmates of Mr. Keeps
(a chandler's shop at the corner of Lsseelles-court,
and Broad-street, St. Giles's,) were alarmed with
the smell of fire ; on going up stairs to ascertain
the cause, they perceived it to proceed from a room,
in which a poor infirm old woman resided by her-
self; they forced °put the door and found the,
room full of smoke, and the occupant of the mint
lying•on the floor in the centre of it, with all her
clothes burn off, and herself nearly burnt to a cin-
der, and the floor considerably burnt. Her remain,
were ecilectol together and removed to St. Giles's
workhouse in a shell for the Coroner's Inquest.
General Gourgaud, in consequence of his late
violent conduct in challenging a citizen of Ham-
burgh, has been ordered to quit that place. He is
allowed to remain in the city till he can procure
passports to anyneffier eoinitry to wl he may
think proper to transfer his residence, in the
interval must oontinue under arrest.
