CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION.

Mr. BROOKES then called the attention of the
Court to the fact that some members of the leet, jury
had been summoned to attend the Westminster Ses-
sions, and wished to take the opinion of the Court on
the subject.
The Hum STEWARD—We think this court has
priority in the first instance. The question as to
whether you are bound to attend the Middlesex Ses-
sions at all is quite a new one, and we must take
time to consider it. As at present advised, lam in-
clined to think you must submit.
Mr. BaooxEs---But does that court take prece-
dence of this?

The HIGH STEWARD—No ; I consider this court
takes precedence.
Mr. CLUNES (one of the jurors)—l attended the
Westminster Sessions this morning and took an ob-
jection to the summons, stating that, being under the
jurisdiction of the Duchy of Lancaster, I considered
myself in a kind of extra-parochial position, and that
if I served it must be under protest on the part of the
duchy and my neighbours, and it was for the judge
to decide whether he could enforce the law or not.
His Lordship said the case was rather novel to him
—that under the new Act the High Bailiff of West-
minster was entrusted with the duty usually per-
formed by the Sheriffs of Middlesex, so far as regarded
Westminster, and that it was not yet a decided point.
I pressed for a decision, on which his Lordship said
as the matter stood at present if I did not serve he
should fine me. I told him that I had received a
summons to attend a court leet, and that if I neg-
lected to do so I should be fined there. His Lordship
then said, " If you do not serve here I shall fine you,
but if the High Bailiff attempts to enforce the fine he
may get himself into a serious scrape. My duty is to
fine you. However, I will permit you to go to the court
leet, and state what I have said to the authorities of
the Duchy of Lancaster ; but you must be here to-
morrow, otherwise I shall impose the fine." The in-
habitants of the Savoy look to this court to place them
in a right position, for they cannot be expected to
argue the matter every day.
The lllcu STEWARD—The jurisdiction alluded to
is quite a new one. The Middlesex Sessions is not
confined to the city of Westminster, but takes in the
whole of the western part of the county. It seems to
me, if the jury is to be summoned for Middlesex, it
must be done by the sheriffs, and not by Mr. Smed-
ley (the High Bailiff).
Mr. CLUNES—Ify objection is, that we in the Savoy
are under the jurisdiction of the Duchy of Lancaster,
and not under the jurisdiction of the court at West-
minster. Doing service under the Duchy of Lan-
caster, we do not acknowledge the jurisdiction of
Westminster to affect the Savoy. The judge said
there was reason in the objection, and it might be
law, but repeated that if I did not serve he should
fine me. As an individual I cannot undertake the
responsibility of trying an action.
The Heca STEWARD—The way to settle the
question is this. When you are called upon to-mor-
row to serve say that we have discussed the question
to-day, and are decidedly of opinion that the court-
leet summons has precedence over that of the Sessions
Court at Westminster, and we also think that the
court-leet summons exempts you altogether. If you
are compelled to serve you must serve under protest.
Of course the attention of the duchy, who are the
proper parties to entertain the question, will be called
to it, and a decision will be obtained. It would be
hard to throw the expense upon you, and if there is
sufficient ground to go upon, the duchy, I apprehend,
will try the question in these name of some of you
gentlemen.
Mr. CLUNES—I told the judge that if I did serve it
would be under protest, and that neither the duchy
nor my neighbours should be compromised in my
person. _ _

The HIGH SHERIFF—The High Steward is of
opinion at present that you should pay attention to the
first summons you received.
This being the only business the Court broke up.

THE JUDGE OF THE LIVERPOOL
COUNTY COURT.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—Not with-
standing the approaching inquiry before the Earl of
Carlisle, at Preston, on the sth of next month, into
the conduct of Mr. Ramshay, the judge of the Liver-
pool County Court, and the memorial from the in-
habitants, praying that a substitute should be ap-
pointed, or that the judge should not resume his sit-
tings until the inquiry into the allegations against
him had been decided, Mr. Ramshay took his seat on
the bench this morning, precisely at twenty-five
minutes to ten o'clock, and the ordinary business was
immediately proceeded with. As the morning ad-
vanced the court became exceedingly crowded, the
fact having become known that Mr. Ramshay was
presiding in person, although it is understood that
Lord Carlisle had enjoined that gentleman not to
preside.
In themselves the cases brought forward were of
little interest, but the judge laid down an important
rule for future guidance. In the case of Hopkinson
v. Loscan, for the recovery of a balance of 25., the
original debt being 4s. 6d., the judge said it was
necessary to have some rule with regard to small
debts. If tradesmen trusted poor people with such
small sums, they acted very improperly. The Act of Par-
liament under which these courts were constituted was
not intended to press poor people; on the contrary,
he considered that the poor were a class peculiarly
under the protection of his court. If some general
rule were adopted with regard to those small claims,
he thought it would not interfere with the business
of the court, but prove very useful and beneficial. It
occurred to him that this court was not to be turned
to the purpose of enforcing such very small debts,
because it seemed to him that the costs were vastly
disproportionate to the amount sought to be reco-
vered. He thought it was really oppressive to poor
men to have actions brought against them,te and if
people gave credit for such small amounts h
take the chance of getting them, if they came must
into
this court, without costs. He (the Judge) asked
what were the costs in this particular case ?
Mr. Statham, the clerk, said 45. 11d.
The have brought
the case into court, but—
The JUDGE said be was not making the slightest
reflection ,upon the plaintiff; on the contrary, he
thought he had acted very properly.ue)a discretionary
power, which he should The Act of
Parliament gave
hica (the eTdake care-g
not to abuse. He
should take care that that discretion was exercised in
a manner which would be satisfactory, and not offen-
sive to the public. The rule which he should adopt
would be that in actions for sums under 103. no costs
should be given to the plaintiff, unless specifically
granted, or unless it should be an action by a poor
person to recover wages. He should not allow per-
sons in a respectable sphere of life, like the plaintiff,
tot ak e the costs out of the pocket of the poor man.
If there were dishonesty or fraud on the part of the
defendant he should grant the plaintiff costs.
Mr. Hopkins, the plaintiff in the case before the
court, said he had received gross insult from the de-
fendant, who had thrown an apple at him.
The JUDGE said then that was an exceptional case,
and he should give Mr. Hopkins costs. People must
be taught to act with civility ; and as long as he sat
there he should endeavour to enforce it towards
himself and everybody else. Insults of this kind
he should always mark by giving costs. Persons
must not be insulted when they asked for their just
debts.
In the next case the plaintiff sought to recover 49.1 d.
This was a small debt coming under the category al-
luded to, but the sludge decided to grant the plaintiff
costs in this case, because it appeared to him the debt
had been contracted by fraud and misrepresentation.
He considered it was a duty he owed to the people of
this town, a duty which he should fulfil notwithstand-
ing any strictures in certain quarters. He would
reprobate dishonesty from any quarter. He considered
it one of his most solemn duties to do so, and he had
always done so he hoped.
The next interruption to the ordinary business was
a complaint on the part of the Judge that the windows
of the court were not open.
" Whose duty," he asked, "is it to open these win-
dows ?" Mr. Statham—The duty of the keeper of
the court.
The JUDGE—I gave an order of a general nature,
that the windows were to be opened, and I am not to
waste my time and the time of the court by these in-
terruptions. I do maintain that my orders shall be
punctually carried out. I shall mark by fine all Im-
proper conduct, whatever it may be. I shall in every
instance inflict a fine, and a very severe one. I shall
tetieh glom) Flutes who do not comply with the read -

sonable orders of this court by such fines as will force
attention to their duties. Here we have been half
suffocated during the last two hours this morning by
the windows being closed. There are a great num-
ber of persons here, and I shall mark my sense of the
disobedience very strongly, because I don't think it is
the business of the judge to waste his time with a
matter such as this.

(The court-keeper, John Whiteside, then appeared.)
The Juno E—Court-keeper, why didn't you open
the door ? The keeper-1 had no orders.
The JUDGE—Do you mean to say you had no
orders ? The keeper—l considered it was very cold
this morning.
The JUDGE—CoId this morning, with a crowded
court like this ! I shall impose a fine of 10s. for not
attending to my orders, repeatedly given on this sub-
ject. It must be very uncomfortable and unpleasant
to every one in court. I shall inflict a fine of ten
shillings for not attending to my orders on this sub-
ject, and teach you to attend to my orders in future,
which have been now neglected without any justifi-
able ground whatever. I think fresh air is essential to
life and health. I nearly lost my life by confinement
in close courts, and I don't intend to have it again.
By keeping the windows closed you are endangering
my health, and I consider that a serious matter. En-
force that fine, Mr. Statham. _ _

The business of the court then proceeded, and in
the course of the next case the Judge corrected a mis-
taken notion which, he said, generally prevailed. lle
said it was generally supposed that the law was a
system of chicanery. It was, however, the result of
the deliberations of the wisest men and the essence of
good sense. It was only very silly people who chose
to consider the rules of law as mere chicanery.
These remarks were addressed to a young man who
appeared on the plaintiff's bide, but was unable to
support his case by what the Judge deemed sufficient
and reasonable evidence It was," he continued,
" a monstrous thing to come into that court, and state
things as facts which the witness had no knowledge
of. Was he to saddle a party with a debt because
there might be great difficulty in finding him ? You
(addressing himself to the witness) choose to come
here and waste my time,;by bringing a case before me
in which there is not a scrap of evidence. You have
not stated one single fact, except that you served a
notice, and just look what a thing it would be in this
or any other court of justice. I might as well go and
serve a notice on any gentleman sitting in this
court, and bring an action against him, because I
served a notice upon hipa. This is part and parcel of
a system which I have-ptit down, and will take care
not to set up again."
The witness attempted to explain.
The JUDGE—You don't know anything about it.
You are a mere collector of debts. What you are
doing is highly improper. You are playing with a
dangerous weapon, because it is necessary for you
and others in this court to know this—l have powers
—and though they be novel, though persons in this
town don't like powers which are novel, which they
have never heard of before—l intend to exercise
those powers, whether they be novel or ordinary. If
there is a new system of law, it; is a strange reason
for not exercising its rules because they are novel. I
can tell you (the witness) the Act of Parliament gives
me power, not only to order a prosecution, but to
commit parties immediately for trial—to commit them
to gaol till the next aesizes for perjury ; and I tell you
that is the power that I intend to exercise. There
were some cases in the last court in which I shall exer-
cise that power. I don't intend to sit here and have the
moral responsibility of allowing these parties to state
that which is not true. It would be a very dangerous
thi❑g to do, and one which might be attended with very
serious consequences. I don't suppose you (witness)
acted from a❑y such motive. I don't suppose you
are conscious of impropriety in that which you are
doing; but it is highly improper in a man to come
into a court of justice and take an oath in a witness-
box, and state that which is not true. I don't think
you had any such intention—because I am inclined
to think you are a respectable person, who did not
think, in saying what you did, that you were guilty
of any offence—to come here and make a statement
such as you made, as if you could speak to facts
merely because some person told you. Therefore I
shall not order a prosecution in your case. But re-
collect, an oath imposes this, not to state what you
have heard, but what you know. It is improper to
waste the time of the Court. In concluding his re-
marks, the Judge declared his intention to require
reasonable evidence in every case. He sat there for
that purpose, and any person in town would be just as
good a judge as he was himself if he received mere
tittle-tattle. He told the witness to stand down, and
if he did not prove the case satisfactorily, the next
step he took he (the Judge) should certainly nonsuit
him. The case must be proved by reasonable
evidence.

Some private conversation then took place with the
clerk of the court, and the Judge retired.

THE FROME MURDER.

Yesterday (Monday) was appointed for the exami-
nation of Robert Hurd, William Sparrow, and Wil-
liam Maggs, the three persons charged with the viola-
tion and murder of Sarah Watts, at Woodlands, near
this town, on the 24th September last.
Sergeant Smith (the London detective officer) stated
to the bench that he had that morning apprehended
the other person suspected of being concerned with
the prisoners in the murder, his name was Win.
Sergeant.
The four prisoners were placed in the dock. The
first witness examined was
Sophia Cornish, whose husband keeps a beer-shop
near the scene of the murder, and who deposed that on
the morning of the tragedy she saw the four prisoners
together, near West Woodlands.
Ann Hiscocks gave similar evidence.
Mary Francis deposed—My husband keeps the
Horse and Groom public-house at West Woodlands.
I recollect the murder being committed on the 24th
of Sept. On the afternoon of the 13th Sept. the
prisoner Sparrow was in my house. He stayed there
between two and three hours. He had an old dirty
silk handkerchief with him. On the 20th he came
again. On that day I also saw the handkerchief in
his possession. Ile had it in his hand. I was very
close to him, and could see that it had some slits in it.
He went out and left it on the settle, and whilst he
was gone I examined it. I observed it well. I also
saw it well when it was spread out over his knee. I
believe I should know the handkerchief again. (The
handkerchief was here produced. It agreed exactly
with what witness had said, being ragged at the cor-
ners, and having two or three slits in it.)
Witness continued—l am confident this is the same
handkerchief I saw in Sparrow's hand on the 13th
and 20th of Sept. I was talking to him, and there-
fore I had a good opportunity of seeing it, and I am
sure this is the seine handkerchief.
The prisoner Sparrow—You never saw me with
that handkerchief. I never had it.

James Hoddinott, constable of Frome—l produce
the handkerchief. I found it on the table at the
house where Sarah Watts was murdered. I first
went to the house about half-past six on the 24th of
September. After I entered the house, the first
thing I saw was a spot of blood below the fireplace,
on the floor. I then looked on the table, and found
the handkerchief I now produce. I examined it, and
then put it into my pocket. I then saw two or three
spots of blood on the wall. I then went into the milk-
house, and saw the floor all bloody—a large pool of
blood lying all over the ground, just under a trundle,
which was half full of whey, and it appeared to be
bloody, as if some had been dipped out with something
covered with blood.

John Watts, father of the deceased, was then called.
He is a very old man, and appeared deeply effected
while
giving his evidence. He said, my daughter was
murdered on the 24th of September. I returned home
on that day, about four o'clock. I observed the whey
in the • milk-house before I went out, and I also saw
it when I came back. I then tipped the tub up con-
taining it,
and I saw that' the water was bloody, as
if something covered with blood bad been dipped in it.
John Butcher, saddler, of Frome, proved finding a
bundle of clothes in a field, about two minutes' walk
from
Butt's-square, on the Tuesday after the murder,
as he was going across the field, about six o'clock in
the morning. The clothes could not have been thrown
where they were from the road, but some one must
have got over the hedge and placed them there.
These clothes were produced, and identified by Mr.
Watts as his property. He said they were stolen on
the day his child was murdered.
Thomas Desey, residing in Butt's-square, said he
knew all the prisoners. Sargent lived four doors
from him. On the morning of the 30th of September,
the morning on which the clothes were found, about
half-past two o'clock, be heard some one pass his
house, and come back again in half-an-hour. There
was no thoroughfare up the square, only to the houses

in it.
The magistrates then remanded the prisoners until
the Bth of November, when the depositions will be
completed, and they will be fully committed.
