KINOSTON.—Autu T 13.

THE ICING V. (OX.
This eras an indictment preferred by the Commissioners of the
Road for a nuisance, in erecting a building in Blit.:kfriars road,
which encroached upon the road, and was forbidden blethe Act
f r making the road. The building in questien is in front of
Christ Church-yard, and is occupied- for the sale of Irish lint-Ts.
It appeared that there had originally been an inclusure, behind
which wac a shed, upon the scite of which the defendant had
erected the building. complained of but the plinth In trent ex•
tended six inches more into the road than the old fence, and see
Wen Mews on the one side, and there was a portico et one end,
on the scite of which no building had formerly stood.
Mr. Serjeant Rest.•for the Crown, contended, that as the Act
of Parliament prohibited arty building from being erected within
ten feet of the road, that the whole of this was a nuisance, as it
was within that distance, and it was of no consequence that aft
old shed was previously there, which time might have rendttrea
n( cessal y to pull down. .
Mr. Carron', on the contrary, admitted, that as to the partieu'•
Tara above enumerated, the defendant must be found guilty, and
must remove them ; but that he had an undouhted right te rebuild
whatever he pleased upion the extent of ground whereon a build.'
• e
ing had formerly stood. -
Lord EeteNBOK Duca being of the opinion with Mr. Garrove,
the Jury, under his direction, found a verdict accordingly.
ICFEN, QUI TAM, V. DORWAY.
This was an information under a statute of Queen Elizabeth ;
first, for eeercising the trade of a miller, not having served ap
apprentict-,hip; and, secondly, for setting to work •one Janice
I op;iff, as a journeyrnanehe not having served as an apprentice.
In this as it•appeared, that Mr. Dormey, wha h2cl followkd
-the bsesiness 21f a:bargeenaeter during the whole of. his life, had
about two years since, taken a mill at U'andeviorth.; It tinne4
.out, however, from the examination
,of his late foreman, that as
he had one, been bred a miller, and did not understand the
business, he never interfered with his foremen in the manned
ment of the mill, except in his approbation of tlie,persons for
whom corn was to he ground, and that in fact the mill was eie-
tirely condtoeed by the foreman, who was an experienced miller.
it also turned out the name of the lad who had been employed
was James 'I hcmas To Tiff, and not Jame ; in a-elition to
which he had gone to the mill upon liking, and had since been
regularly bound apprentice to the present foreman of the mill,
who was also a reentar bred miller.
• - Lord Etet en° ROLOu Was of opinion, that the charge of sett inc
James Topliff at work miot fell, as that was not the name of the
lad ; and that with regard to the oilier charge, ii had not appease
ed in evidence that the defendant had used the Otonual occuptie
ti;nu of a miller (those being the words of the statute), and that
hefivas not within the letter of the Act. t-iis Lordship alluded
' to the laws of the valuable mills at Wakefield, Leeds, and Settle,
ar d various others in the Duthy of Lancaeter, the property

' would be subject to informations, or would be required to serve
regular apprenticeships as millers, if this defendant could he con-
sidered as within the meaning of the Act.

fendant.'. ' •
