QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN V. DIONUM AND QUARLES.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the judgment of the Court
on the defendants in this case, which was an indictment for as-
sault on Mr. Vansandor, an attorney, committed on the 2d
November, 1836. It appears that some differences having
arisen between the 'parties in consequence of a slight offered
to Mr. Vansandor's family, at Drury-lane Theatre, by the de-
fendants ; and Mr. Vansandor having subsequently been con-
cerned against.thc defendant Quarks, in the Bankrupcy Court,
the defendants, on the night of the 2d November 1836, pro-
ceeded to Mr. Vansandor's house in Mecklenburgh-square,
and assaulted him with a horse-whip. The defendants
pleaded guilty.
The reading of the affidavits on both sides occupied a con-
siderable time.

Mr. CLARKSON appeared for Mr. Dignum, and spoke at
some length in mitigation of punishment ; and for Mr. Quarles,
the other defendant, he shortly addressed the Court in exte-
nuation.

Mr. Justice PATTESON in delivering the sentence of the
Court, characterized the conduct of the prosecutor as vindic-
tive. The defendants were to be imprisoned one month in
the Marshalsea, and to find security themselves in 1001. each,
and each two sureties of 401. to keep the peace for 2 years.

ceedings, obtained judgment of the Court disallowing certain
pleas of the defendant, and again obtained a rule Nisi, fur
leave to amend the record, by striking out the fist count of
his declaration, and by demurring to the defendants' pleas.

tually discharged.

On Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD'S application for costs; the
Court refused, stating, that the present was a step in the
cause, and the costs, being costs in the cause, would follow
the issue.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN V. BLUNDEN.

Sir W. FOLLETT Slitihe ass instructed to more for a rule
to shoe• cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against Mr. Robert Blunden, of Uttoxeter,. in Stafford-
shire, for his disobeying to serve as a juror at a coroner's
inquest. As the subject affected the jurisdiction of a co-
roner, and there being some novelty in the case, he thought
it worthy the attention of the Court. A person happening to
die under such circumstances as called for the interference of
an inquisition, the Coroner summoned a jury, and among them
happened to be the individual respecting whom the applica-
tion, and who oh;ected to the form of choosing a foreman
until it was ascertained if an inquest was absolutely necessary,
but the Coroner insisted on taking the first name on the list
to serve as a foreman, and after he was chosen, four others
were named in rotation as jurors; when the book was handed
to Blundell he refused to be sworn, and on the Coroner caution-
ing him at his peril, he again refused, saying he would abide
the consequences, and thereby he obstructed the proceedings
of the inquest. He ( Sir William Follett) was not aware of
any other mode of bringing the case before the Court, but by
applying fur a criminal information.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDAI,E—Or by indictment. The coroner
has certainly a right to hold an inquest, but it was another
thing to say he had a right to compel jurors to be sworn, and
therefore it was doubtful whether a criminal information ought
to be granted.
Sir W. FOLLETT—As the matter required the immediate
decision of a Jury, it might not be right to admit of delay.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—There shall be no delay. I shall
give you an answer to your application by to-morrow.
