EXCHEQuEtt,(THIS DAY.)

THE MARQUIS OF A NGLESEA V. LORI) HATHEETON.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared to show cause against
a rule to change the venue in this ca,e from the county of
Middlesex to the county of Stafford. It was an action of trover
for coal, limestone, &c. The seine was originally laid in
Middlesex ; it was then changed from that county to Stafford,
on the usual affidavit, and brought back again upon the usual
undertaking. The cause .vaa therefore now fairly in Middlesex,
and their Lordships would require a very clear case to be made
out before they would change the venue from the county in
which it had lawfully been laid. The defendant had made an
affidavit, in which he stated that he was going to call
sixteen witnesses, most of whom were very old and very
unequal to a journey to London—that it would be neces-
sary for him to call the steward of the manor with the
court rolls, and that he resided in the nieghbourhood
of Stafford, that he was informed it would be necessary for
the Jury to view the lands, and that there were peculiar cus-
toms in the manors of which a Middlesex Jury would be ig-
norant., and that he was informed the extra expenses of a trial
in London would be upwards of 300!. 'I hat was the whole, and
he thought no ease had been made out. His Lordship seemed
to have forgot that there was a railroad all the way upon which
the witnesses would suffer no inconvenience—they were able it
appeared to reach Stafford, and if so they could as easily come
on to London; that was noanswer also to theease of the steward.
With respect to the view, the only question to be tried was the
right of a customary tenant to take minerals—what possible
necessity then could there be for tlub Jury to see the land ? But
their Lordships must remember that there were
many manors in Staffordshire, and the special
Jurors in that county might not be the most
impartial in such a case. it was said a Middlesex jury would
be ignorant upon the subject; now surely that was most de-
sirable—they would hear the evidence, and hear the remarks of
the Jitdge,andcome to a better conclusion than any persons who
were interested in the question at issue. /is to the question
of expense, he need say
.nothing—their Lordships were well
aware that the expenses m the country would be greater than
in London.

Nlr. Sergeant TAt.Fouxn safd the noble defendant teemed
Us think sweet) witnesses a great Lumber, which was a good
proof that he had never been engaged in such a cause before ;
but be would only say one word as to the expenses. They
would be obliged to take down a person from the former to
translate records, the takinx down of whom would cost more
than all the sixteen witnesses. His Lordship nas not aware
that one antiquary would cost more than his sixteen an-
tiquities.
Mr. WriatELv, on the same side, said, his Lordship, when
alluding to the expenses, seemed to have forgot that he hail re-
tained the services of his Learned Friend the Solicitor-General.
—( A laugh.) There was every reason in favour of Middlesex.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL had no doubt his Noble client
would have been content with the services of the gentlemen on
the circuit had not the Noble plaintiff engaged extra eminent
assistance. He contended that a view would be necessary be-
cause much would depend upon the nature and state of old
workings on the land. There would be no necessity for any
contingency, for there would be no difficulty in admitting trans-
lations.

The COURT—Have you any objection to try the cause be-
fore a Worcester Jury ?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Nene whatever.
The ArronN ET-GEN ERA t.—We only want a fair trial, which
we apprehend we could not have in St ,fforthhire.
Mr. Baron I'ARK —Then let the venue be changed to Wor-
cester.

MAIILBOR()UGH•STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Nichols and Geo. Norton, two very respectably-
dressed young men, of genteel manners and address, with two
lads about fourteen years of age, dressed up as chimney-
sweeps, who gave their names John Connolly and Dante/
Carter, were p!a-eil at the bar before Mr. Lose, the pre-
siding Magistrate, charged with attempting to pick pockets
under the following circumstances :
William Flosford, the chief officer belonging to the 11Iendi-
city society, stated that about four o'clock yesterday afternoon
he saw the two first-named prisoners, whom he knew to be
common pickpockets, and as having been several times con-
victed as reputed thieves, proceeding along Regent-street, fol-
lowed closely up by the other prisoners, in the garb of sweeps,
and whom he also knew to belong to the swell mob of pick-
pockets. On arriving at W'aterloo-place the latter
two commenced dancing, standing on their heads,
ar.d tumtling, which speedily attracted a great crowd of
persons around them. Nichols and Norton then attempted to
pick several individuals' pockets. They then proceeded to the
corner of Saekville-street. They then proceeded to other
streets, and repeated their attempts, %Oren, after a desperate
resistance, they were taken into custody.
A police-constable, No. 43, 11 division, stated that he knew
the whole of the prisoners to be reputed thieves.
Mr. Los° committed the prisoners for three months each
to hard labour in Tothill-fields New Bridewell.
