SFSGULAR CAS:.—At the General Quarter Sest
sions of the Peace ftir the western division of the.
county of Sussex, held at 15ettvortb, on Tuesday
last, came on to be tried an Appeal of the Guar-
dian of the paiish of Clapham, against C. Goring,,
Esq. Magistrate, nud J. Rolfe, pauper, and as it:.
refers to a point of the law not generally under-. •
stood, we give a particular report of it, for.the
information of thd" Magistracy.
. The pauper had applied to the Magistrate for
relief, stating; on oath; that lie had a sicki,;•-
wife and' three small children. The Magistrate]
bad issndthiS summons to the Guardian. The
Guardian would not attend to answer it ; where-
upon an order of relief was served upon him ;. he
refused 'to obey it, and was convicted in the pc.-
nalty of 51. according to the Act of the 22c1 of
Geo. 111. cap. 83. He appealed against the or-,
der and the conviction, and gave the Magistrate
notice to produce the information, the order, and
the conviction ; which he accordingly produced;
at the Sessions ; when the Comma objected, to
their being read, unless evidence was adduced or
the infoimation having been made before him. Up,
on which the pauper was called up,to prove it ;
but his evidence was objected to, because he was.
a party concerned, his .name standing in the no-
tice-of appeal. Hence the purpose for which -the
appeal was extended to .the pauper becameleri,.
dent ; hut. the right and legality: of •appealing
against 'the paziper, seems liable to some objec-
tion, 'when, by the above Act, an appeal' lies
agitist Ate Justice poly..
The Magistrate. then -requested that the trial
might be put off till the Sessions, that he micht
availhimself of the evidence of the constable,.who;
with Rolfe, came to make return of the summons;
for that he did not know it would be necessary to
bring any other evidence of the itiformation having
been made before him, than the information itself,
which carried upon the face of it the signatures of
himielf and-the pauper, in the manner 4irected: by '
Burn. his •requeit, hoWever, could not he ad-
mitted ; andas he had no other evidence of wfaCt
which had passed at his Own hotise, between him-
self and 'the pauper Only, his conviction- was
quashed,.not for any-defect or. impropriety, but
tnerelyfin! 'aunt of proof that the information anti
compinint of the pauper had ever been laid before
him, when the only evidence that le could be sup-
posed-to have to prove the transaction, had, by.the
above artifice, beei! taken from him.
