tion his Lordship had required on a former day.
His Lordship fixed Tuesday next for delivering his judgment.
Several other matters were postponed till Friday and Tues.,
day

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 20.
BRADLEY V. ARTHUR.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE mentioned this case, which it
will be recollected was an action of false imprisonment, involv-
ing important questions of military authority and discipline.
r. Brougham had moved for a new trial, and the Court thought
it would be desirable that the points he wished to raise should
be brought before them in the form of a special case. The-
counsel were unable to agree on the facts which should be
stated ; and the Lord Chief Justice, having been applied to for
his decision, thought the difference so important that no single
Judge ought to settle it. The case, therefore, should go into
,the new trial paper, as of Michaelmas Term.
Mi. BROUGHAM expressed a hope that the case would not
come on to-day or to-morrow.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE replied, " Certainly not :" he
had mentioned the case thus early in the term, that Gentlemen
on both sides might have time to prepare for the discussion.
THE KING -V. CARLTON AND OTHERS.
Mr. RUSSELL mentioned this long pending rule for a crimi-
nal information against the British Press, for libels on Sir
George Chetwynd ; and it was fixed for this day, supposing the
motions for new trials should allow time to hear it.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 20.
GARDNER V. WEDD ANT) THREE OTHERS.

Mr. Sergeant WII.DE moved for a rule to shew cause why a-
general verdict should not be entered in this case. The action
was tried before J%ir. Baron Graham. It was an action for- an
assault and false imprisonment, in which a verdict was found
for the plaintiff, damages one farthing for the assault ; but the
imprisonment was not allowed. He now wished the verdict to,
be entered generally, on the ground that the learned Judge at the
trial gave liberty to move to that effect. The action arose from a
dispute respecting tithes. The parson of the parish and his
parishioners had disagreed (neither the name of the Reverend
Gentleman nor his parish were mentioned), and the parson, to
smooth the business gave a general invitation to his parishioners.
to settle all their disputes regarding the tithes over a good
dinner. The parishioners attended, and after dinner, instead
of sober sentiments, they regailed themselves freely over the
parson's wine by drinking most uproarious toasts against the
parson and his clerk, such as " Damnation to the parson and
his clerk."—(Great laughter.)—The clerk of the parish, as
in duty bound, felt offended at the extreme liberality of the
toasts, and remonstrated, on which, from words they proceeded
to blows. The defendant and three others took hold of the
clerk and turned him out of doors.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Was the turning him out. of

the room false imprisonment ?—(Laughter.)-
Mr. Sergeant WILDE-NO, my Lord ; the false imprison-
ment consisted in keeping the plaintiff in a chair' while they
carried him out of the room by main force. The chair was in a
corner of the room, and they held him there against his will
and consent, while they took him up in their arms and carried
him out of the house. He did not know what period of time
constituted false imprisonment, but the clerk was detained
from the free exercise of his liberty by the constraint of the
defendants.
The LORD CHIEF Ju STICE.—I see no imprisonment at all
in this case, and the Learned Judge who presided at the. trial
seems to have been of the same opinion. The good parishioners
only kept the clerk in the chair to prevent his tumbling out,
while they proceeded to give him his liberty in the fresh
(Much laughter.)—We cannot grant the motion.—Motion re'
fused.
