F.XPAItTE ARNOLD.

In this case Mr. WHITEHURST applied to the Court
for a certiorari to remove the proceedings against
a man named Arnold, charged with manslaughter,
in to this Court, and for a rule nisi to ad-
mit the applicant to bail. It appeared that Arnold
had been driving some persons in a spring cart in the
neighbourhood of Birmingham, when, in turning a
corner, he drove against a post accidentally, the cart
was upset, and a Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin were thrown out.
Mrs. Baldwin died the next clay, and an inquest was
held on her body by the Coroner of Birmingham,
and the Jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
Mr. Baldwin having been removed into the neighbour-
hood in which he resided, died also about a fortnight
after the accident. An inquest was held before the
County Coroner, and the Jury was composed of the
neighbours and friends of Baldwin who were ex-
ceedingly anxious to punish Arnold, and they
brought in a verdict of manslaughter. The affi-
davit of Arnold stated that the death was entirely
the result of accident, and that the applicant was
too poor to be brought up, and therefore he trusted the
Court would permit him to be admitted to bail before a
Magistrate in the country.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—Take the certiorari, and the
rule to show cause for the bail. Application granted.

THE QUEEN V. THE SHERIFF OF WARWICKSHIRE.--

bIANDAMUS.

Mr. WHATELY, on behalf of the Birmingham and Glou-
cester Railway Company, moved for a rule for a man-
damus to the Sheriff of Warwickshire, directing him to
review his notices of the costs in the cause of Parkes
v. the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company.
Under the you ers of the Railway Act, the Sheriff had
been called up to summon a Jury to assess the com-
pensation' due to Mr. Parkes, for land taken
from him, and for injury done to his property
by the Railway Company. The Jury gave him a verdict
of 201. as the value of the laud, and 5001. for the damage
done. Now, by the Act of Parliament, in such cases costs
could only be allowed for the summoninc, the Jury, for
the expenses of witnesses, and for the bond for the secu-
rity of payment ; but in taxing the costs in this case the
Under-Sheriff had allowed the plaintiff costs which he
was not authorised to do by law, such as for attend-
ances, instructions, &c. This had been objected to at
the time, and the Under-Sheriff had subsequently been
applied to, but had refused to review his taxation unless
the Court should be of opinion that he ought to do so.
Under these circumstances the application was made.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—Take your rule.--Applica-
tion granted.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, Not•. 9.
RE SIR WILLIAM BOYD.

The insolvent in this case was the individual who had
made two or three attempts to escape from the Fleet
Prison, and one time so far succeeded as to get to
Charing-cross disguised as an old woman. He stated
to the Court that he had been knighted by William IV.,
on presenting his Majesty with an epitome of a work
callad the " History of Literature."
Mr. THOMAS, on behalf of several creditors, applied to
the Court, that they might be permitted to prove their
debts now, on the grounds of not having p-evious intima-
tion of the insolvent being about to pass through that
Court. In making the application he felt bound
at the same time to inform the Court that there were
many of them which had been contracted more than ten
or eleven years back, and that the Statute of Limitations
might be pleaded against them; but he trusted this sta-
tute would not be allowed to act as a bar against the
claims, as the insolvent had managed to keep out of the
way of his creditors for many years, and had been in Ame-
rica and upon the Cantinent for a long time,
Mr. Hobson, coachmaker, of South-street, Orosven,24
square, said the insolvent came to him about thirteen
years ago, and bought a cabriolet with harness for 1501.,
for which he gave two bills, which proved to be value-
less. For years afterwards he never met him, until he
saw him one night at Ofley's, when he gave him into
custody for swindling, but the police would not interfere.
He had frequently tried to meet him since, to sue him,
but in vain.

Several other witnesses having deposed similarly, the
Learned Commissioner said he would adjourn the case
to Saturday, the 20th inst., before which time the insol-
vent was to receive two days' notice of the particulars of
any of the new demands against him.
Mr. Hobson informed the Learned Commissioner that
he and those creditors who appeared to-day were in ig-
norance whether the insolvent was in existence or not
until they saw the newspaper reports of his examination.

IN THE MATTER OF CHRISTOPHER SMITH.
In this case, the particulars of which appeared in The
Sun of yesterday, the insolvent was called up for judg-
ment, when the Learned Commissioner ordered him to
be remanded for nine months from the date of his vest-
ing order.

RE W3l. ROBINS.
The insolvent kept a public-house in Clare-market,
and was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on th© part of a number
of creditors.

After a lengthened examination, Mr. Commissioner
LAW said the facts of this case were of so glaring a na-
ture that he felt bound to remand the insolvent for 18
months.

POLICE INTELLiCTENCE.
BOW-STREET.
An application was made this morning to Mr. HALL,
the sitting Magistrate, requesting that he would issue
his warrant ordering the prisoners Kennot and the
brothers Paccard, charged on suspicion with adminis-
tering deleterious drugs to Michael Kennot, on the
morning of Saturday last, to be removed from prison,
that they might be enabled to be present at the adjourned
inquest to be held at the Grapes public-house. The
application was made in consequence of a wish expresser)
by the Jury that the parties should not be crimma.ti.d
in their absence.

The ilagi;irato said that he had no power whaterer

to interfere in the matter; he could give no order either
one way or the other. The Coroner might issue his
warrant requesting the gaoler to allow the parties to be
removed from prison for the occasion, but that was an
arrangement in which a Magistrate could not interfere.
