COURT CHRISTIAN, NORWICH.

BUNGAY ST. MARY—CHURCH-RATES.
On Monday last Mr. Charles Childs being called oa to
put in his counter allegation, said, addressing the Judge,
" At the last court I applied for an order to inspect
several documents of a public nature in the hands of the
plaintiffs. I was aware that I had a legal right to see
them, and ;you were good enough to express an spinion to
the same effect. I was plso morally entitled, because tine
plaintiff; hold these books, not in their own individual
right, but as trustees for the parishioners, of whom I
am one.

" I was, however, assured from the feeling they have
manifested
aao
fcstedrd meli n
in these, aaneedominoda
antecedenttion proceedings, that they
would
which I did not wrest
from them by process of law, and I was unwilling to com-
plicate this case with the irritation of proceedings else-
where.

" I therefore applied to you, Sir, for an order, and al-
though you had not the power to make this, you expressed
what I should have imagined to be more stringent, a de-
cided opinion that I ought, and a strong recommendation
to the plaintiff's proctor that I should, be permitted to see
these books. That recommendation was, however, dis-
regarded, and they have repeated their refusal. Ido not
complain of this, because it would be folly to complain of
anything in such a
.place, and from such parties, but as their
answer to rry appisation was delayed tor a fortnight, I
have to pray that aother Court may be given for putting
in my allegation. I would not willingly retard the suit,
but the delay has been entirely the act of the other side,
The JUDGE—I think, Mr. Childs, 04IC of the books in
question was the vestry-book. Now this has been rt,a3e
au exhibit in this suit, and therefore, independently any
right you may have at common law, you are entitled to
inspect this book at all times. Has this been refused?
Mr. C. Childs—Yes, Sir. The vestry-book was one of
those I mentioned at the last Court, and of which "
Rackham then took account.

:llr. Rackham—l communicated to my clients the re-
commendation of the Court, but they declined to accede

to it.

The JUDGE —Th e plaintiffs were allowed to take this
book home with them, as it might be required for use in
the vestry ; but it is in their possession exactly as if it were
deposited in the Registry, and must be accessible at all
times. You had better, Mr. Rackham, communicate this
immediately to your clients. I have no power to do more
as to the other documents, than to express the opinion I
did ; but you, Mr. Childs, arc fully entitled. to see tire
vestry-book, and I have no doubt will meet with rro farther
obstruction. You will, under these oireumstEinc,..e,
FAY
till the next Court to put in your allegationo
