DOE DEM. OF FOYSTER V. KIERNAN.

This was an action of ejectment brought to try the title to an estate
in South Lambeth, of which the defendant was the tenant in possession.
The case presented no feature of interest, and a verdict, under the
direction of the COURT, was found for the plaintiff, whose title was fully
made out. •

SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DAY.)

STEPHENS V. RA M.-TR ESPASS.

This was an action brought to recover damages for divers trespasses
committed by the defendant on ground belonging to the plaintiff.

The plaintiff' is a market-gardener residing at Ealing, at which place
the defendant also resides. It appeared from the evidence that the
plaintiff occupied several acres of ground to which the defendant laid
claim as proprietor. In May last he went into the ground and commenced
pulling up a quantity of fruit trees and vegetables; lie afterwards went
and took away a quantity of Rower roots. November last he threw
down a fence of his own, which parted his land from that occupied by
the plaintiff; the consequence was, cattle continually went over the
beds, and destroyed the produce. He concluded his trespasses by dig.
ging a wide ditch, which destroyed the value of the land; and he had
taken possession of that part of the ground, and would not give it up.
It appeared, however, that he had no reasonable ground on which to rest
his claim, and on the action being brought, he allowed judgment to go
by default. The damage was estimated at 161., exclusive of the loss of
the ground since the action was brought.
The UNDER. SD ERI FE said the Jury could only award the sum sworn
to ; and they found for that amount.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)

James Woodward Sedgwick, a shoemak n*, applied on his petition to
be discharged,

Mr. Commissioner BowEN--You only owe 381.
Insolvent—That is all, Sir.

Mr. Commissioner BowEN—And your insolvency has arisen from
your large family. How many children have you ? The poor fellow
said he had five under nine years of age.
Mr. Commissioner BowEN—All, of course, depending upon You ?
The insolvent, whose appearance denoted much poverty, said such was
the case.

Mr. Commissioner BOWEN--you may be discharged.
The insolvent had been taken on Court of Requests' warrants ; he
had been in prison since the 21st November.

Sarah Jones, the next applicant, who had been a chambermaid at
Southend, only owed 221. ; she had been some time in prison, and was
ordered to be discharged.

Another insolvent named Wood, who only owed '281., was discharged.
Mr. Commissioner BOWES—CouId you not keep out of prison ?
Insolvent—l could not, Sir.
*** What possible benefit could be expected to arise from the im-
prisonment of these parties, prevented by confinement from swporting
their families, and no doubt released with their morals any thing but
mended.

DOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Cornelius Darnel, describing himself as a brass-founder, was charged
oil suspicion, by Peter Fish, who beeps a boot shop in Holborn, with
stealing train his shop. It appeared that about s..;ven o'clock last even-
ing the complainant heard the wire snap, to which a boot was
Kilitened, and having repeatedly suffered serious losses by having
articled ztolen frt in his door, he ran out, and the first person he met
was the prisoner, standing a few paces from the door, and he gave him
into custody. The boot was afterwards found at the step of a door
convenient.
Mr. MINSIIULL said it would be desirable that tradesmen should
place their goods beyond the resca of persons passing along the streets.
The prisoner said he was merely waiting for a friend returning from
work, and had no knowledge of the CirCumstance until he was given in
charge —lie was then discharged.
James Hobbs, a dealer in fish, was charged by 53 F division with
being found quite waked last night, in White If:Id-yard, on another
man's back. It appeared that the prisoner and another man laid i
wager that the latter would not carry the former a certain distance
along the Strand, but when the prisoner was about to mount his pony
his CZ,vanion objected to carry him unless he would take off all his
;lollies, as t::5 were not included in the load. After consideCable :".

eager, and before they starts:! for the goal the policeman pounced upon
tunas, and took the Inlsoner, who s:‘id he once had a brain fever, and at
times did not know what he was about.
Mr. MiNsirtlLL ordered him to put in bail.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TAB. 7.

JONES V. HEATON AND OTHERS.
In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we
went to press, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.

PREROGATIVE COURT, F. 7.
KOSTER V. El APTE•••••JUDG

The arguments in this case were heard in the second so-
lion, and the material facts have already been fully reported.
The question related to the grant of a probate to the repro-
tentative of Mrs. Martha Sapte, a natural-born subject of the
Tuscan States, who died at Leghorn in April, 1811. A peti-
tion was offered to the Court to revoke the probate granted to
Mr. Sapte, a nephew of the deceased, for the purpose of ad-
ministering to the effects of the deceased in this country,
which were of the value of about 3,000/., invested in the Navy
Five per Cents. and South Sea Stock. The ground for dis-
turbing the grant, which has existed for twenty-two years, was
that the material fact had been withheld from the Court, that
the will of Mrs. Martha Sapte had been annulled by the
Courts of Tuscany under the provision of the Berlin and Milan
decrees, by which legacies domiciled in this country were null
and void. The petition was opposed on behalf of Mr. Koster,
who is interested in obtaining the revocation of the grant of
administration.
Sir HERBERT JENNER gave judgment to-day, and, after re-
ferring to the main facts of the case, stated that the Court
must pronounce in favour of the protest, dismiss the party
cited, and condemn the other side in costs to the extent of the
security given (501.), should they amount to that sum.
GOOSE AND OTHERS V. BROWNE.—.JUDGMENT.
This was a suit relative to the validity of the last will of
Mr. John Anderson, who died in March, 1837. The will
was dated the 4th of March, and the question was raised as
to its validity chiefly on the ground that the instructions were
given for it to the solicitor who drew it by a party who was
interested in it. The deceased amassed his property by the
cultivation of herbs for physical purposes, and the paper now
propounded was in comformity in many respects with those
he had previously executed.
Sir HERBERT JENNER, considering the will to be established
as the act of a capable testator, pronounced in favour of it.

upon hearing the evidence ofthe parish ()Meet (Harnier), Poufic
on thE part of Mt. Waiaj fomented that the Vote be struck off.

The vote of Robert Hornsby Was Ile',lt ollected to on the game
ground.

After hearing counsel, the Committee rejected the vote.
MIS gaVe Mr: K RLLY a majority over Mr. TUFFNELL of one.
Mr. POLLOctt then proceeded to reduce that majority, by striking off
two, from Mr. Kelly's votes. . .

The first vote which he entered upon, was that of John Gibbon,
Woodbridge-road—the objection being loss of qualification by change
of residence.

It was proved by the Collector of Poor Rates, and another witness,
that Gibbon had removed before the election, July last, and that a Mr.
Dobson occupied the house, and was rated for it subsequently to July.

ATTOANMCIENEIiAL MiraEff.
This Wee an application upon motion for the substitution df the llama
of Mr. Augustus smith, And elf: B¢nlamitt Martin, as relators, in the tooth
of the Rector, Churchwardens, and over CeVI bf Perkhampstead. The
information was filed upwards of 100 years ago, for the ittnpose of ob-
taining a scheme for the future management of the Berkitathetead
School, which was founded by Edward the Sixth. Several pro-
ceedings had taken place, and orders had been made by
Lord Hardwicke, Lord Thurlow, and Lord Eldon. The ap-
plicant thinking that the present relators were not conducting the
proceedings properly, presented a memorial to the Attorney-Gene-
ral, signed by upwards of 250 of the inhabitants Of nerkhatripttead, re-
questing permission to present a petition to the Court of Chancery, pray-
ing that the two applicants might be appointed relators. 'Upon that
memorial being heard before the Attorney-Oeneral, that Officer Of the
Crown ordered all the proceedings in the infoomation to he stayed, and
stated at the same time his opinion to be, that the Charity had been most
lamentably managed. Upon that decision of the Attorney-General, the
present application was founded.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. A:11=1;0N, appeared in support of
the application, and Mr. BARBER and Mr. GIRDLESTONE opposed it.
The case was ordered to stand over in order that it might be ascer-
tained whether the Attorney-General meant to stay the proceedings
upon the petition that had been presented, as well as upon the informa-
tion, that Learned Gentleman having only mentioned the latter proceed-
ing in his order.

COURT OP QU'Er;:_N'S 13ENCI7, FEB. 7.

PRiCHARD V. TAYLOS.
Sir F. POLLOCK stated flLtt this was an acil:xn brought to
reeoYet the sum of 2i. claimed by the plaintiff as due tai him.
In 182t1 the plaintiff was tomirrt to be father of sin )116T-inmate
child which had become chargeable to the parish of
tin's-in-the-Fields, and he was called upon to pity a sum of
money for Its support. He did pay a weekly sum for above
three years, but in 1833 he was about to be married, and, na-
turally wishing to get rid of any future claim upon him,
he applied to the defendant, who was one of the overs':ers
of the parish, to fit ft sum of money tht:t would be taken by
the parish at an indemnity for the expenses of the future ina'n.
tenanee of the child. The cute of 40!. was At first demanded,
hut finally it Was agreed that the plaintiff should pay 251., and
the parish officers then agreed to indemnify him, He pail
the money, and in about three months afterwards the child
died. lie then applied to the parish officer to have the ba-
lance restored to him, but his application was refused, the offi-
cer contending that he had no tight to the balance. in that
opinion they were mistaken. So long ago as 1523 the Court
had held that such contracts between parishes and the puta-
tive fathers of illegitimate children were illegal, Lord Ellen-
borough observing that " by means of such a security as this
the parish officers acquired an interest that the child should
live as short a time as possible." That doctrine had been up-
held in a great many subsequent cases ; and in Trinity Term
last year was expressly recognised and acted on in a case in
the Court of Exchequer. Under these circumstances he
should merely prove the payment of the money and the death
of the child, and should then be entitled to a verdict.
This proof having been given,
Mr. BUTT addressed the jury for the defendant.—Verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages, 221.

" MoNxic.—The breaking up of Congress has given great relief to the
mercantile community. So long as Sub-Treasury schemes were sus-
pended over the poh:ic there was no confidence. The result being known
there is a better feeling manifested. The southern markets, parti.
cularly those in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, are about
resuming specie payments. All this gives strength to credit.
The new Banks that are organizing in this city will, no doubt,
have an immediate effect to restore business. Although there
is not as yet any visible change, there is every appearance of a decided
improvement—the crops at the South, the East, and West all promise to
be most abundant .

fested indications of improvements, in consequence of the showery
weather. This morning the supply of Wheat was goad from Essex,
but not much from other parts, rind little other Grain fresh up. The

mand considerably higher prices for Wheat. Some fine parcels
Otained 81s. per quarter, and the Market upon the whole may
be reported 3s. per quarter higher than this day se'nnig:it. Parley is

BOW-STREET.
Two lads, named Thomas Mordecai and Owen Bourke,
were charged with having in their possesbion a quantity of
silver cuttings, the property of some person unknown.
It appeared that the first-named prisoner went into the
shop ofolir.. T,y4ler, in Hollyrelkatreet, on Wednesday
night; rig the priipitrty prbadlta kir sale ; aaa being

questioned how he came by it, he said his father was a
silver teapot- maker, and he was sent to dispose of it by him.
He was told the silver would be detained until his father
came forward, as the account he gave was unsatisfactory.
The prisoner then went away,saying he would bring his father
and the following evening be returned, in company with
the :other prisoner, whom he represented as his brother,
any who said he was sent by his father to demand the sil-
ver. Mr. Tyler said he would not give it up unless they
conducted him to the father, which they consented to do ;
and on meeting with constable Garrard, they were given
into custody.
The prisoner Mordecai then said he picked up the silver
in Castle-street, Holborn, as he was going on an errand ;
and the other not being able to satisfy the Magistrate
how he got his living, was ordered to find bail. His com-
panion was sent to hard labour for two months in the House
of Correction.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Richardson, a person holding the office of fireman
at St. James's Palace, and John Appleton, were brought
before Mr. Dyer, charged with having stolen a quantity of
paving-stones from the precincts of the Palace.
Mr. DYER directed the prisoners to be remanded till
Wednesday next.
Policeman Filmer, C 130, was charged with having
fraudulently obtained 103. from Adelaide St. Ange, a
Frenchwoman, living in Oxendon-street.
The complainant said she was walking last night in
Prince's-street, when the prisoner came to her and told her
he must take her into custody. Being alarmed at the un-
expected circumstance, she pulled out 10s. in four half-
crowns, and gave them to the policeman, who then told her
to walk away quickly.
As the question was one of identity, Mr. DYER ad-
journed the case for the purpose of obtaining the additional
evidence of a person by whom the complainant was accom-
panied at the time she said she was taken into custody.

COMBINED EFFECTS OF BOUNTY AND OF MONOPOLY.
Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing.
lane, and comparing the same against the price of foreign sugars :
London, Nov. 23, 183.9.
The Gazette this day quotes the average price of British Per cwt.
Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 3ls. 31d,
Muscovado Sugars raised by free labour in the Manilla have
been sold this week at from I 9s. to 225. 6d. per cwt., being
about 9s. 4d. per cwt. less than the average price of West
India Sugar.
The bounty on refined Sugar having been reduced to 355. Sd.
per cwt., no sales for exportation have been effected this
week in that article.
This reduction still leaves a clear bounty—allowing Is. for
the duty on the poisonous dirt contained in the Mus_
covado or moist Sugar—and which is extracted from it
by the process of refining of

1 Os. Sd.

Jy _
British Treacle is worth 9s. per cwt. in the foreign markets. The
same has been sold this day in London, free of duty, at 30s. 6d. per cwt.,
being an excess of price paid by the British consumer of 21s. 6d. per
cwt., in other words 21s. 6d. per cwt. on Treacle contributed by the poor
man towards west India Bounty, and not, as it is erroneously supposed,
towards revenue.
COFFEE.—The duty on West India Coffee, the price of it ranging
from 955. to 130 s. per cwt , is 565. per cwt., about 50 per cent. ad
valorem.
The duty on St. Domingo Coffee, the average price of it being 425.
per cwt., is 140 s. per cwt., or about 300 per cent. act valorem. The
protective duty, therefore, on West India Coffee is equivalent to 250
per cent.

The Loan CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this
case, the question in which wss whether a power of ap•
pointment had been extinguished in consequence of the
bankruptcy of a party. The Master of the Rolls, upon
the case coming before him, considered the power impe-
rative, and from that judgment the parties appealed. His
Lordship was of opinion the power was, and dismissed the
bill without costs.

JUDGMENT.-WALFORD V. MARCHANT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this
case, which came bufore the Court, upon exceptions to the
Master's Report, finding that an arinuity.was valid. His

WORSHIP-STREET.

THE POWER OF MAGISTRATES OVER OVERSEERS.—
Yesterday Catherine Taldy, aged 16, was placed at the
bar before Messrs. GROVE and CODD, charged with having
been found destitute in the street.
The constable who had in her in charge stated that he
found the prisoner in Whitechapel. She appeared in great
distress, and upon being questioned by him she stated that
she belonged to Bethn.l-green workhouse. He took her
there, when he was informed that they would not admit
her, and that they had a charge against her for robbery.
He in consequence took her to the station-house.
Mr. Christie, the relieving overseer, stated that he ob-
tained a situation for the prisoner (from the workhouse)
with his sister. She was there but a short time. A few
days ago she ran away, and took with her a shawl and other
articles. Since then lie had heard nothing of her till ap-
prehended.
Mr. CODD observed that he would here take the op-
portunity of remarking, in consequence of having seen in
that day's paper that at the Town Hall Alderman Kelly
had given an opinion that, in cases of extreme poverty, he
had no power to compel overseers to afford relief. But
if the worthy Alderman would look at section 54 of the
Poor-law Amendment Act, he would there find that the
power was given to a Magistrate ; and, in case of disobe-
dience, the overseer was liable to a penalty of Si. He
made these observations in the hope that they would
not be passed by without notice, and that the public
mind might be disabused of a wrong notion upon the sub-
ject. He had himself ordered relief to persons thus
situated, and he should ever continue to do so.
The prisoner was sent to the House of Correction for
fourteen days, and Christie was directed to be there when
she was discharged to take her to the workhouse.

HATTON-GARDEN.—(THIS DAl')
IMPORTANT TOLL-CASE DECISION.--A gendean_
the
named James Rose, was summoned at the instance °f w
Commissioners of the turnpike trust, at Hornsey-gate'thit
refusing to pay the usual stipend when passing througi.`
bar. The reasons alleged by the defendant for his re it'
were, that by an Act passed in the reign of his late Majeso
George IV. (the year 1822), all persons who did 11'4 Per
over a greater space of the road than 100 yards weref bi 9
empt from toll ; the proofs the gentleman afforded °,ber
being entitled to exemption under this clause, were ra-tbe
complicated, and required a map, for its illustration ; t°.oo
Magistrate, it may be thus explained—a parisliroad Wolof
the turnpike way close to Hornsey-gate ; beyond the
is the common, and Mr. Rose having come cootdoge
this road, considered himself entitled to pass into the .0
mon free of charge ; the distance between the terra
of the two points being less than 100 yards. bia
The Commissioners demurred to this conclusion, 0" bf
an opinion from Sir Frederick Pollock, which was, thatto,
an Act passed in the same reign, chapter 16, sectioa_.4
all persons were bound to pay toll, for the act of Pej ;
through such gates, bars, &c., and no exception was Pr°'..a
and that though these separate Acts might appear to P—
each other, yet the last (passed in 1828) was final. dist
After having read this opinion, the Bench decided Sts,
Mr. Rose should pay a penalty of 2s. 6d., and the cir,es,
amounting in all to las. 10d., which was paid to 136,-7,,
the toll-collector, who appeared ou the part of the v"
missioners. case

The Office-Clerk suggested to the Bench that in.-
o'Llla
Mr. Rose might wish to appeal from this decision be
now be enabled to do so, as the fine was under 40s. jo
The Magistrates consulted the defendant as to his ;at
to appeal, but he seemed quite satisfied with the prey
result, and to go no farther.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court this day took petitions, but was occupied
the whole of the morning with those that were unopposed.

ANDREWS V. SHARPE.

Mr. TEED stated that this was the petition of the sur-
viving plaintiff, Susannah Andrews, praying to have the
fund in Court placed to her account. Under the will of
William Andrews 5,0001. Stock was given to Thomas
Baker Andrews, and the testator directed one moiety of
the dividends should be paid to the mother of T. B. An-
drews during his minority, and the other moiety for his
maintenance. The bill was filed to have the legacy se-
cured. The executors having admitted assets, the 5,0001.
was paid into Court. A reference was then made to the
Master to approve of a guardian for the infant plain-
tiff. The Master approved of the mother as a
proper guardian, and the Master's report having
been confirmed, it was ordered that out of the
fund in Court the costs should be taxed and paid. The
costs, amounting to 1441., had been taxed and pail accord-
ingly. The infant plaintiff, who had nearly attained 21,
had died of consumption, and his mother was his adminis-
tratrix. The Learned Counsel produced the requisite evi-
dence of the death, and the certificate of burial. The
order was made accordingly.
London, England, 1838-11-24

QUO WARRANTO.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Court for a
rule calling upon a Mr. Wright to show cause why an infor-
mation in the nature of a quo warrant° should not be filed
against him commanding him, to show cause by what au-
thority he held and exercised the office of Alderman of the
city of Ripon, in Yorkshire.
It appeared from the affidavits that on the 9th of No-
vember instant, the burgesses elected an Alderman by show
of bands instead of in the manner directed by the Muni-
cipal Corporations Act, and on discovering their mistake
made a fresh election on the following day, but without
giving the required notices, and it was on the latter occa-
sion that Mr. Wright was elected Alderman.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE granted a rule to show cause.

THE QUEEN V. JOSEPHS.
Mr. HUMPHREY on a former day applied for a writ of
certiorari to remove the indictment in this case. The writ
was refused, in consequence of an omission in the affidavit ;
that was now supplied, and
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE accordingly granted the writ.
His LORDSHIP afterwards sat at Nisi Prius, and tried
several common jury causes. They were all of them unde-
fended, and of no public interest.

EXCHEQUER COURT, Nov. 23.
THOMAS V. TYLER.

This was a demurrer to a bill of discovery. The plain-
tiffs, Thomas and Chapman, silk-merchants, sold to one
Crofts, at Coventry, a quantity of silk, for which Crofts
gave them a hill of exchange for 4971., payable five months
after date, at Esdaile and Co.'s. Before the bill become
due, Crofts deposited with the Coventry Banking Company
(whose public officers the defendants were) another bill
drawn on Lleaf, Coles, and Co., nearly equal in amount to
his own acceptance, and it was alleged in the bill that in
consideration of such discount, the defendants promised as
well Crofts as the plaintiffs, that they would advise Croft,'
acceptance at Esdaile's. This they failed to do, and
an action was brought by the plaintiff against the de-
fendants for not advising the bill. After the cause had
been set down, Crofts, who was the principal wit-
ness for the plaintiffs, was accordingly unable to prove
the engagement of the plaintiffs to take up Crofts'
acceptance. Crofts, previously to his death, had failed,
owing the Coventry Banking Company a considerable sum,
and the Company claimed a right to hold the proceeds of
Lleaf, Coles, and Co.'s bill on their own account. The
defendants have taken the cause to trial by proviso, and
the bill prayed, besides a discovery, an injunction against
their proceedings by proviso until discovery.
The Learned Cam, BARON said that the Court
would grant an injunction to either party appearing for it,
if it were necessary for justice ; and that, without deter-
mining to what conclusion he should come after mature
consideration, he saw clearly that the plaintiffs 11.1c1 a good
prima facie case, which was all that was necessary in a
Court of equity to entitle them to a discovery.
The demurrer was accordingly overruled.

LITERATURE.

KENYON'S POEMS. Moxon, London, 1838.
All that grace and skill, and a well-trained and...accom-
plished intellect can do, Mr. Kenyon has done, and success-
fully, for the poems in the volume before us ; but the inner
sense, as it were, of poetry is wanting ; we miss—what
Wordsworth so justly calls—the " vision and the faculty
divine." These are things not to be acquired ; they are
the free, spontaneous gifts of nature, the absence of which
no art, and no reach of observation, however comprehen-
sive, can adequately supply. Yet very pleasing and popular
poems have often been written by men who bad merely
skill in versification, combined with an elegant and lettered
mind, to recommend them—such, for instance as Wharton,
Hayley, Langhorne, Leyden, and many of the minor poets
of the last century, who still survive in scraps and fragments
inserted in poetic miscellanies. Mr. Kenyon is one of this
class of writers, as will be seen by an extract, which we
subjoin, from his lines entitled " Moonlight," which are
nearly, if not quite, as good as any passage in Wharton's
" Pleasures of Melancholy" :
" Nor seldom did I win from thy sweet light
A more creative and less pensive joy,
Such joy as kindly Fancy oft will weave
For childhood; kindlier still, if she desert not
Our after years. 'Twas when dim-floating clouds
Were hung in the still West, and there had hung
From hour of parted twilight. They had watched
The sinking sun's last glory, and caught thence,
Around his golden garment clustering,
A passing radiance not their own ; but now
Tho' rayless, hueless, still they lingered here,
As in persisting love (so spirits, they say,
Will linger round loved spots) nor lingered here
In vain; for thou didst bring a second day
Less bright than his, but not less beautiful,
Sun of the Midnight ! Then those pallid clouds,
Each in its turn by soft light lit up,
Grew to a living dream-land."

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

APPLICATION TO STRIKE AN ATTORNEY OFF THE ROLLS.
Mr. MARTIN was instructed by the Manchester Law
Association to move for a rule calling upon John Hall and
Samuel Grantham Anderton, to show cause, the former
why he should not be struck from the Rolls, and the latter
why he should not be imprisoned for one year. He had a
great number of of fidlvits setting forth the conduct of these
parties. From the affid•►vit of a person named Townsend,
it appeared that a few years ago, Anderton commenced
practising in Manchester, in the name of her husband ; and
it also appeared that on the death of Mr. Townsend, he
procured the name of the defendant Hall, in whose name
he had since practised. In this case there was no further
malpractice except the issuing of process.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—Have yOu more than one
case?

Mr. MARTIN said there were a great number of instances,
but they were principally in the Common Pleas at Lancaster.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—This Court has nothing to do
with that.

Mr. MARTIN had one case where process was issued
out of this Court.

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said, if there was only one
case, it might perhaps be easily explained away, and the
Court would look very narrowly into the circumstances. If
there were so many cases at Lancaster, it would be better
to make the application there.
Mr. MARTIN had affidmits as to the general practice of
the parties.

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said, the affidavits ought to be
confined to what had taken place in tliis Court. ne
would rather not interfere in the matter, but would leave
Mr. Martin to make his application in the other Court.
