WINCHESTER, JULY 19, 1822.
Before Mr. Justice BURROUGH.
THE ICING V. WILLIAM JOHN JOLLIFFE, CLERE, MAYOR

OF PETESFItE.D.

The Information was opened by Mr. CARTER, but Mr. Ser-
jeant PELL gave way. to—
Mr. ADAM.—Gentlemen, yon have heard from my Learned
Friend, Mr Carter, the nature of the questions to be decided
to-day. You have heard that one is, how the Mayor of Peters-
field is to be elected? and you have heard that you are to deter-
mine, whether all the material requisites that go to constitute
a good election of that Officer,: have been regularly complied
with or not ? Gentlemen, this is a question which certainly a
few years ago one should not have expected to be decided in
this Court, because a more uniform course of proceeding than
has taken place with respect to the mode of,e/e.cting the -Mayor
of Peterafield is not to be found in the history of any corporate
town in Great Britain.

Gentlemen, I believe till the year 1818 the peace of this Bo-
rough had never been disturbed by any inquiries of the nature
now submitted .for your attention. In that-year Mr. Atche-
son, a very respectable friend' of mine, thought fit to try his
powers in an attempt which r'bope will note succeed,, namely,
to overturn that which had been the universal usage in this
Borough. Till that attempt wq.i ;mile, .too notion. Could have
been entertained that witch a question as that now before you
could be raised. meanl do not mean the outset to make any
reflection upon any thing that has occurred since. I pro-
pose upon my part to confine, myself strictly to the questions
you have to try. I only mention this circumstance to shew,
that there had been an uniform course of proceeding uninterrupt-
ed until the events took place to which 1 have alluded.
Gentlemen, the way in which I submit to you, the Mayor
of Petersfield ought to be chosen, according to the immemorial
usage, is this—there is a Court feet held in that Borough—at
that Court Leet, of course, you know a Jury is to be assembled,
and it is the province of that Jury to present a person to be
Mayor for the year ensuing—upon.his presentment, and upon
his being sworn int in consequence of that presentment, he is
entitled to fill the office of Mayor. The mode of electing the
Mayor having been by presentment of the Jury, it becomes of
course a material fact for' you to consider, whether that Jury has
been properly appointed?
Gentlemen, the uniform course has been for the Steward
of the Manor, when he issues his precept to the bailiff of the
place, to assemble the residents who owe suit and service to the
Lord, to insert at the foot of the precept the names of those
persons who are to fill the office of jurymen ; and,• Gentlemen,
this is objected to on the part of Mr. Atcheson. Mr. Atche-
son, a gentleman well versed in the law no doubt, although
Practising generally upon other subjects than those which re-
fer to Courts Leet, has thought he has discovered some'illega-
lity in this course of proceeding • and he calls upon you to
decide whether he is right in the Objection he has taken to it,
—he calls upon you to say whether all that has been done shall
or not be declared valid ?-1-le is to contend to-day that, instead
of the Steward of the Leet being the person to discharge that
duty, it is the Bailiff whose duty it is to appoint the Jury, and
that the Bailiff is to select the persons to make the 'present-
ments at the Courts Leet. That the custom which has pre-
vailed for the Steward to select the Jury will be proved to be
good I have no doubt. I shall be able to shew you, not fur-
ther back than living memory, but as far back as that, that this
has beeen the invariable custom. Let us pause for a moment,
and it shall be but for a moment, to consider what objection can
be made to this course of proceeding. You will allow me to
say, that in deciding this question, _you are going to decide it
not with reference to the Borough of Petersfield only, but with
reference to the general law of the land. Now I shall ask you
to say what, in the first place, there is that can constitute any
illegality in this mode of chusing the Jurors? -
Mr. Justice Bunitouon.—That will not be for the Jury,
you know, whether the custom is illegal or not.
M. ADAM.—Your Lordship will ete how that is. I appre-
hend it will not be for the Jury to find whether the custom is
illegal, except under the direction of the Learned Judge who
presides. One of the issues here stated is, whether Mr. Jol-
liffe is legally elected or not. I must shew whether Mr. Jol-
life has been chosen according to that form of proceeding
which makes it a legal election. I cannot but express my sur-
prise, that such an issue as this should be offered for. your
consideration. I should have thought when we had found the
fact stated, instead of taking an issue upon that, and leaving
it for the 'Jury, the correct mode would have been to
have raised the question of law upon that, and to. have
left it to be decided by that tribunal which you must agree
with me must be more competent to try this question than any
Jury can possibly be ; but however, that is a question which you
are to try here ; that is one of the eighteen issues—the eigh-
teenth issue is, whether .Mr. Jolliffe was duly elected or not ?
Mr. Justice By RROu GR.—They are all consequential upon
the main point.
Mr. ADAM.—Yes, they are; therefore, confining myself,
at present atleast, to those points which I understand his Lordship
to say are more peculiarly within your province, I shall abstain
from making any observations upon this point further than as
it shall be necessary to explain the course of proceeding. I
shall Offer my evidence, and wait till I hear my Learned
Friend's ease.

Gentlemen, I have stated the course of proceeding hitherto
as to the nomination of the Jury, but you will find that ano-
ther objection made to Mr. Jolliffe's Election is, that the Stew-
ard of the Court Leet having nominated the Jury, as I have
described, and the Jury having retired to make their present-
ment, the Steward has been in the habit of attending the Jury
while making that presentment—that that has been the usage,
lam confident my Learned Friend cannot deny. The testi-
mony upon that subject will be so strong, valid, and clear,
that nobody can doubt that the Steward has always retired with
the Jury while they have been forming their determination,
and when you consider what the nature of the presentment is,
and who the persons are that must constitute that Jury, you
will see it is most important that somebody, of more skill than
the persons on the Jury, should be present to see that its pro-
ceedings are framed and couched in proper terms, and so
correct that what they do shall be done effectually. Oen-
tlemen, what objection is to be stated to this (if this was'
the proiler time to enter into the discussion), I cannot conceive;
but as to the usage, I shall establish it beyond all question.
Gentlemen, these are two of the main points Upon which Mr.
Jolliffe's Election is to be disputed. Another ground is, that
it is part of the usage of this Borough, that all Mayors must be
resident in the Borough, that Mr. Jolliffe was not resident in
the town, and consequently was not eligible. With respect to
that proposition, Mr. Jolliffe was put to his election—the Law
would not allow Mr. Jolliffe to join issue with the Crown upon
both those propositions. Mr. Jolliffe could •not say that the
custom did not require a residence ; and secondly, admit that he
was resident. He was obliged to make his election upon that
point, and it being of more importance to have the question
settled first of all, than that should be any discussion up-
on his election, he thought the best course was to join issue upon
the question, whether residence was necessary for a person who
claimed the Office of Mayor ? You will have the goodness,
Gentlemen, to attend to the terms of this issue ; because I ap-
prehend, that it is by no means in the usual course, and that
the question of residence which you have to determine to-day,
as it is shaped by the other side, is one of a new nature. It is
to this effect, that the Jury have presented and appointed, from
time whereof the memory of man is not to the contrary, a fit
and proper person to be Mayor, having his most usual place of
residence in Petersfield. Therefore, to satisfy you that the
prosecutor is entitled to a verdict upon this occasion, itl will
not be sufficient for him to shew, that residence is a qualifica-
tion required, I mean such species of domicile and residing in
the Borough as is sufficient to constitute a residence, but he
must satisfy you in the terms of this issue, that the right is con-
fined to a person having his usual and accustomed domicile in
the place. If, therefore, you should be of opinion, that the
person should reside, that will not entitle the plaintiff to a ver-
dict, unless you should be of oninion that it must be his most
usual place of residence. It will be necessary for my Learned
Friend, to satisfy you that the usage of the Borough is, that the
person should have resided in the Borough of Petersfield as his
most usual residence. In a common case, it is sufficient to
shew that the residence has been fair and bona fide, and quite
open, and that sort of residence which a reasonable man might
be expected to give in a place where he had a residence in the
fair exercise of his discretion, residing where he pleased in the
course of the year ' • but, in this case, you must be satisfied of a
great deal more. You must be satisfied that he should make
it the most usual and ordinary place of his residence. It has
been decided not to be necessary, to reside any given number of
days but such a residence as we have been in the habit of
considering sufficient; if a person has resided a few days, if he
has done it openly, he has done all that is requisite to consti-
tute a residence, and it is not necessary to go to the extent my I
