LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 16.
THE QUEEN V. CHARLES DUDLEY.

Sir W. FoLLETT moved for a rule to show cause why a
quo warranto should not be issued, calling on Mr. Dudley
to show by what authority he claimed to exercise the office
of Mayor of the borough of Stafford. The question alto-
gether depended on the construction of the 4th atad sth of
William IV., c. 76, and the Ist of Victoria, c. 78, s. 14,
and amounted in fact to this—whether the Aldermen, by
the provisions of the Municipal Reform Act, were directed
to go out of office at a given period, were entitled first to
vote in the election of Mayor for the year ensuing, or
whether the new election of Aldermen was to take place,
and the new Aldermen to be admitted before the Mayor
was elected. If the former, the election of Mr. Dudley
was good ; if the latter, it was invalid. The Learned
Counsel contended that he existing Aldermen had a right
to vote on the election of the Mayor before they vacated
their places, and read and commented on the two statutes
above referred to in proof of his argument.—The Court
granted the rule.
THE QUEEN V. THE BRIGHTON PATRIOT.
Sir. F. POLLOCIC moved for a rule to show cause why a
criminal information should not issue against the defendant
for the publication of a libel upon the character of Mr.
Wigney, a banker at Brighton, formerly a Member of Par-
liament for that borough, and also a Justice of Peace for
the
county of Sussex. The affidavit on which the application
was founded stated that Mr. Wigney had for many years
resided at Brighton, with his wife and family, which now
consisted of six children ; that he had read, in No. 191 _
a Paper called the Brighton Patriot and South of Eii,g_la?ld
Free Press, a paragraph, which was thus headed : wig;
ney, the ex-Member ; and Miss Preston, the ex-Mistress ;
that he believed that the paragraph so headed was intended
to apply to himself, and that the imputation there conveyed,
of his having had an improper intercourse with Miss Pres-
ton, was wholly false and unfounded. The affidavit then
went on to describe the circumstances out of which the
libel was supposed to have originated. In the year
1828 Mr. Wigney stated that his attention was arrested
Ira the square where his residence was situated,
by see-
ing a young woman of respectable appearance walking
every evening up and down the square ; that after
observing her several times he directed a few words to
h
er, and she then told him that her name was Mary Ann
Preston, that she got her living as a dress maker, and thatshe walkedin the square merely for the benefit of her health.
He denied that he had ever represented himself to Miss
Prestonhismistress,asa had made

it that he
would keep a house for her, or keep a carriage for her, or
any expression to induce her to have illicit intercourseove withsr

clared that he had never become more intimate with her
than merely to speak when he met her, except upon one
