QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(sittings ririnec.)
THE QUEEN V. WILLIAMS AND OTHERS.

In this case-a
mandateu:had- been obtained calling
upon the defendants to show cause vshv they should not
deliver up the key of a certain chest. By a deed framed
in 1590, in the 5601 year cf the reign of Queen Eliza-
beth, a person named Elizabeth Beaumont granted soul.
to buy land and for giving 5/. a year to the poor of
Ottery St. Mary, Devonshire; the remainder, if any, to
be distributed by the trustees to the poor and impotent.
A coffer, having three locks and keys, was to he kept
in the parish church; one key to be kept by the parson,
ono by the trustees, and the other by the churchwardens.
The coffer was to contain the deeds and unexpended
moneys. In 1840 the Court of Chancery provided a
better scheme than had heretofore existed for the ex-
penditure and management of the funds, but nothing
with the same view was done in respect to the custody
of the keys. The churchwardens considered that
they should have possession of the keys, but the existing
trustees, the defendants, declined to do so, declaring that
the right they claimed hid existed wis:tout question for
300 years, and that they would not give it up. The
mandamus mentioned the " key of a colter containing
papers."
Mr. WILLIS now contended that the mandamus was
informal, inasmuch as there was no evidence to show
that it contained " papers."
Sir F. TIIESIGE& followed in support of the validity of
the mandamus.
After much discussion,

The COURT allowed time to amend the man.laraus by
the addition of the word "for."

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN V. EARLY.

Sir F. THESIGER applied for a rule calling upon the
defendant to show cause why a quo warranto should
not issue demanding from him by what right he holds
the office of a clerk t•o a County Court in the Stafford-
shire Poitcries. He said he moved on behalf of a person
named Bushell, whose father had interestocl himself in
the establishment of the court in question, and who was
appointed its clerk under the new Act. From ill-health
he was obliged to be absent from his duties, but before
doing so he appointed his son to act as his deputy. The
defendant, who had been high-bailiff of the Court of
Requests, which the new court superseded, claimed the
office on the ground that it was the intention of the Le-
gislature in passing the Act that the officers of the old
court should be appointed to similar offices in the new

one.
The COURT granted the applleatior.

BOW7STItEET.-(THIS DAY.)

Feargus O'Connor, Esq., :11.1."., attended this morning
before Mr. Henry, and intormed him that he yesterday
gave notice to the sitting magistrate, Mr. Jardine, of
four persons, namely, himself, Mr. J. Sewell, Mr. Bloom-
field, and Mr. Murrell, as bail for Mr. Ernest Jones, who
stands committed on a charge of using seditious lan-
guage. He (Mr. O'Connor) was referred by his Wor-
ship to Mr. Mauie, the Solicitor to the Treasury. He
called on Mr. Maule, and that gentleman expressed
himself perfectly satisfied as to the solvency of Mr. John
Sewell, and gave him (Mr. O'Connor) a note, as he un-
derstood, to that effect, addressed to Mr. Jardine. Ho
returned to this court with the note, but, unfortunately,
Mr. Jardine had at that time left the court. He, there-
fore, left the note with the clerk.

Mr. HENRY had heard nothing of the matter. The
note, however, was produced by the clerk, and Mr.
Henry opened and read it. His Worship then observed
that the note did not mention the name of Mr. Sewell.
The time allowed for the purpose of inquiring into the
sureties (twcuty-four hours) had not expired, and until
then he could not take any steps in the matter. If Mr.
Maule attended at two o'clock and expressed himself
satisfied, of course the bail would be admitted. Mr.
Henry then asked if Mr. Sewell was present?
Mr. O'Connor believed so.
Mr. Sewell's name was then called but not re-
sponded to.
After some further conversation, Mr. HENRY observed
that he presumed Mr. O'Connor, who was a Member of
the House of Commons, must be aware that Members of
that House were not eligible as bail.
Mr. O'Connor was quite unaware of that fact.
Mr. HENRY repeated that such was the case, and
quoted from the Act to that effect, from which it ap-
peared that Members of the House were excluded from
becoming bsil on account of their non-liability to
arrest.
Mr. J. Sewell here came into court.

Mr. O'Connor, having intimated that at two o'clock he
would attend with the rentlemen, of whose names notice
had been given to Mr. Mau!e, thanked the magistrate,
and left the court.
