EAVES v. BELT AND ANOTHER.

Mr. JowEs showed cause against a rule, obtained by si gen-
tleman named Eaves in person, calling on Mr. Belt and his
son, clerks in the Crdwn Office, to return to him certain fees
which he had paid them. Mr. Eaves was indicted for a libel,
and, according to the practice of the Crown Office, was obliged
to procure the respite of his recognizances from term to term,
before trial ; for this purpose, he applied to the defendants, and
they received from him the regular fees. -These gentlemen po-
sitively swore_ that they had taken none but the usual and an-
cient charges, and were extremely anxious for the full vindica-
tion of their character.
The COURT asked whether Mr. Eaves had seen the -aft.
davit ; and finding that ha had.,nok, directed the case to stand
over, in order that he might have time to peruse it.
Mr. Joxzs handed, his affidavit to Mr. Eaves, and the mat-
ter dropped for the present.

COURT Or COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 17.
STOCEHAW v: TRENCH.SPRATT V. THE samr.
Mr. Serjeant PELL moved for a rule to.sliew cause .Why the
allowance for bail in these eases should not be set aside,- and
the costs paid by.the. defendant. The names of the bail were,
James Owen and James Hought and they' appeared in that
Court on Friday last tojustify. On that occasion Owen posi-
tively and distinctly swore, when under examination, that his
name was J. Owen, and that hehadnever gone by any other ;
and being asked if he had ever been remanded by the Insolvent
'Debtors` Court, he answered that he never had,'And addathat
he had never been in gaol on any.. account in all his life. An
affidavit, however, which he (Serjeant Pell) held in his hand,
and proceeded to reed, sworn by Mr. Shute; of Milbank-street,
stated that the deponent had formerly been professionally em-
ployed by the said Owen's wife before marriage, and by the
said Owen after their marriage; that his name was not
James, but John, and that he was arrested and sent to prison
, in the year 1821, and gave notice to the deponent of his inten.
tion to apply for his discharge' under' the Insolvent Debtors'
Apt, and that, upon his making that application, he was op-
posed by the deponent, and remanded by the Court for the
i term of two years. .
The other bail, James Hough, also swore, on coming tip to
justify, that he had never been in prison for debt: but it was
sworn in the affidavits of several parties, which the Learned
Serjeant now read,-that the iaid James Hough in 1819 tarried
on the business of a shoemaker, and that in the month of June
in that year he left his residence there, and went into custody
in White Cross-street prison. It was generally said that if
bail swore falsely, when they came to Justify, they might be
indicted for perjury; but both that Court and the Centrt of
King's Bench had exercised their authority, the contempt of
Court being so great, and the injury to the .party so aggra-
vated by ordering
.bail so conducting themselves to be lei in
the pillory.' 'There was also an instance where a man was or-
dered to be committedby Mr.,Justiee,Best. . , . •
MA Justice Buanouou—" That was a case where the per
was detailed before the Learned Judge himitelf." - -
The Learned Serjeant then proceeded to quote authorities.
'An indictment for perjury could gIVe no satisfaCtion 'to the
party,injitree4 and unless the rule of the Conn' was absolutely
opposed to even an exercise of their authority, he trusted their
Lordships would think this it'fit ease for its,exereise.
Mr. Justice PARK said that the statement that had just been
rnade, was of course, ex-park, and it was one that really'asto-
nished him exceedingly, for lie remembered the case perfectly
well, and remarked at the time, that he never had heard in-
• swots given to an examination with more coolness :and- appa-
rent fairness. The proceeding which it was now sought to
adopt was one which operated- entirely against the defend • 21,

We regret having to announce the .4eath of
Ous'rAVUß Rocktronr, Esq. late Member for,the county of
Westmeath. The prbbable candidates for the representation
of that county will be Richard Malone, Esq.. of ttakonstown
in that county, the Representative of the great Malone family ;
Hugh. Tuite,, Esq. ansl Sir Thorbas Chapman. We 'have
heard it rumoured that one of the =candidates is likely to have
all the independent interest ; at this period it- is impassible to
as. how the difl4erst iwrests may prevail on contest.—
