COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, APRIL 15.
This being the first day of Term, the Learned Judges
,00k their scats shortly before two o'clock.

SPENCER V. NEWTON.
In this case a rule had been obtained, calling on the
Marshal of the Queen's Bench either to produce the body
if the defendant in Court, or to make an affidavit that the
defendant was in his custody. The Marshal had omitted
,o do so, and an application had consequently been made
-o the Court for art attachment against the Marshal fo
contempt.
The ATT3RNEY.GENERAL appeared for the Marshal, and
contended that no attachment ought to issue, because the
rule had called elm the Marshal to do that which
vas impossible, as the defendant was not in his custody
in the 29th May, 1838, the day when application had first
seen made fora rule in the case. The Marshal was not
called upon to say whet her the defendant was in his custody or
aot, but to say that he was in his custody, which the Mar-
.hal could not do. He was perfectly willing to admit
hat the defendant was not in the custody of the Marshal
,n the 29th May, 1838. The defendant had become
superscdable 26th November, 1837, and therefore six
months after that period, according to the rules of Court,
tic might be discharged by the Marshal. At all events the
slaintiff ought to be left to his remedy by action against
,he Marshal for an escape, when these points could be in-
testigated. He therefore moved that the rule be discharged
with costs.
Mr. WATSON followed on the same side and contended
that where a defendant was once supersedeable he was
Always superscdeable, and could not be charged in execu-
tion, and that therefore the plaintiff had no right to the
first rule, which he had obtained for the bringing up the
defendant to be charged in execution, as he had been law-
fully discharged on May 11, 1838.
Mr. BARSTOW contended that the rule must be made
absolute, as this was merely a new attempt of the Mar-
shal to escape from the consequences of a neglect of duty.
The Marshal was not called upon by the rule to state that
he had the defendant in custody, but to do so or show
cause to the contrary. Now he had not shown cause pro-
perly, be had net made any affidavit statirg when the de-
fendant had escape,' or been discharged out of his custody,
and for aught they knew to the contrary, the defendant might
have been out of custody before he was superscdable : and
although he might be supersedable, yet, as he had not
been superseded, he might still be charged in execution,
and, even admitting that the defendant had a right to be
superseded, yet this could not be available to the Marshal,
although it might be to the defendant.
The COPRT thought that Mr. Barstow had better take
the admission offered by the Attorney-General, that the
defendant was not in custody on 28th May, 1838.
Mr. BARSTOW consented, and the rule was discharged.
