L.IW REPORT.

COLlyr 01' KING'S BENCH, Nov. 25.

THE KING ,V.'RUSD Y.

MOTION IN ARRSST OF JVDGMPNT.

THE Court having decided these should not be:
any new Trial had in this ease,.
Mr. LAW moved in Arrest of Judgment. :The
grounds on which he moved it were these : That
• the crime of Res/wing, of which the Defendant
stood tonvided on the Record, as described by
the Statute of the 6th of Edward VI. was a crime
only so constituted
.by that Statute, and was a
crime which had no existence at Common Law
antecedent to that Statute, and which Statute
was repealed. That there was no Statute which
described a Regrater, per se, as for buying and
selling again in the same marketi neither could
there he found- any precedent of an -Indictment
so framed ; nor was there to be found any autho-
rity so laying it down, that buying and selling
again on the same day in the market was a crime.
Lotd KENYON asked if the Learned Counsel
had any Authorities to refer to in, support of his
Proposition.
Mr. Law stated a Statute of Henry VI. which
he said described a Regrater as, neither more nor
less than a mere Huckster, and by which it ap.
}waxed that buying and selling again in the same
market was not any offence whatever. That
Statute was enaded against Forestallers ; but.
that was also repealed and existed no longer, nor
was it an expres!aon of 'the antecedent Common
Law with regard to Forestallers. The repealing.
of the Statute of the 6th Edwarci VI. not only
aid away the offence of Regrating, but the Case
stood as if such'a Statute had nevet existed;—it;
was no longer to be considered as a Record of
Parliament, nor were any opinions given upon it
brCourts of Justice further to be resorted to,.
because the whole of it and its foundation was,
,
swept away by the repealing Aft of the present
Reign. The z3d of also took notice
of a Regrater, but he was, not described as an of-
fender for buying and ,selling in the same market.
The lath of Richard H. and the Bth of Henry
VI. c. s. s. 2. he referred ,to upon the same
subject, as tending to favour the same doarine.
rie then took the liberty of saying, that he could'
not find any trace of this offence of Regrating,
nor any Indidment for it as a specific offenee„
antecedent,to the sth and 6th of Edward VI. but
.that thia was an offence created by that Statute,.
and by that Statute only, and had no existence as'.
a crime known to the Law of this Land .before
that Statute,: which Statute was repealed, and
therefore that the offence which it described no

longer existed. He would say nothing upon the
policy of this at present : it was enough for his
.present purpose to contend, that antecedent to
that Statute, the crime of Regrating had no ex-
istence at the Common Law, that the crime was
created by that Statute, and that the repeal of
it put an end to the crime which it had so created.
Lord KENYON.—Take a Rule to slim cause
why Judgment bhould notbe arrested.
Rule granted.
