BAIL-CO U itT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
THE QUEEN V. IIAsLAW.
Mr. COBBETT applieu to the Court to remove this case
by certiorari from the Quarter Sessions for the county of
Lancaster to the Assizes. A true bill was found at the
last Sessions, against the defendant, sprinter and publisher
at Manchester, for the publication of a blasphemous libel
in one of a series of tracts advocating Socialist principles,
and entitled " A Letter to Ministers of Religion of all
Denominations," in which the writer expressed his surprise
they should affect to believe a book full of lies to have
b:fen written by inspiration of the Almighty, and called
upon them to burn it, and repudiate its doctrines. No
special ground was stated in suprlrt of the application,
but merely that it was the wish of the defendant to have
it tried in a higher Court, and to be enabled to avail
himself of the grea'er talent which might attend is.
The LEARNED JUDGE intimated he did not think suffi-
cient ground had been shown in support of the motion, and
was referring to some cases, when
Mr. COBBETT suggested, as the case was of great im-
portance to his client, and the circumstances peculiar, per-
haps the Learned Judge would think upon it, and give his
decision to-morrow. To which his Lordship agreed.
There were no other cases in this Court to-day of any
interest.

C.VIMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court at its sitting resumed the hearing of the ar-
gnments in a case named Bruce and Wait, (commenced
in January last), the point in which was as to the juris-
diction of the Mayor's Court (we believe) of Bristol, in
regard to what is called foreign attachment—that is the
attachment of the goods of persons out of the reach of the
Court, those goods being in the bands of the garnishee,
that is, the party into whose hands the property has been
entrusted by the owner.

Mr. Sergeant MANNING and Mr. RICHARDS argued the
case. The arguments mere necessarily of the most technical
and uninteresting nature, and would last most of the day.
