LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 16.
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON, Mr. Baron PARRE,
and Mr. Baron ROLFE )
COBBETT V. SIR GEORGE GREY, BART.
This was an action brought by Mr. W. Cobbett, a
prisoner in the Queen's Prison, against her Majesty's
Secretary of State for the Home Department, for an
assault and false imprisonment, alleged to have been
committed on the plaintiff within the precincts of the
Queen's Prison. The case was tried at Guildhall, before
the Lord Chief Baron, when a verdict was entered ge-
nerally for the defendant.
Mr. Cobbett, in person, now moved for a rule to show
cause why the verdict for the defendant should not be set
aside, or a verdict entered for the plaintiff, upon the
general issue. We understood the plaintiff to con-
tend, that the verdict passed for the defendant
on the issue raised by the plea of " the
general issue by statute," on the ground, that the
defendant was a privileged person, and was entitled to
demand that the action should be brought in the county
where the wrong was alleged to have been committed.
!Jere the venue was laid in London, and it was said it
ought to have been laid in Surrey, where the Queen's
Prison is situated. Mr. Cobbett insisted that a wrong
view was taken of the Acts of Parliament relating to the
venue, at the trial of the cause.
After Mr. Cobbett had addressed the Court at great
length,
Mr. Baron PARKE intimated that the Court would
take time to consider whether the plaintiff was entitled
to a rule, although their decision on this point would
only involve a question as to a small amount of costs, as
there were other pleas going to the substance of the
action on which the defendant must retain his verdict.

Mr. Cobbett said the matter involved a principle.
Judgment deferred.
