COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

On Mr. Baron GURNEY taking his seat this morning,
Mr. KELLY moved that a person who filled the important
office of Herald for the county of Somerset should be dis-
charged from custody, on the ground of his being, by virtue of
his office, one of his Majesty's household, and liable to be
called upon to attend the King at a moment's notice.
The Learned BARON enquired whether there was any prece-
dent for such an application—bad the privilege ever before
been claimed ?
Mr. KELLY said he had one document which showed that
the privilege had been claimed and allowed. It was dated Nov.
14, 1693 ; it was an application made to Parliament by the
Windsor Herald, claiming the privilege of freedom from
arrest, on the ground of his being one of his Majesty's ser-
vants by virtue of his office, and being at all times liable to be
called upon to attend the King. The claim was considered
and allowed.
Mr. Baron GURNEY wished to know where the document had
been procured ?
__... . . _ _

Mr: KELLY said he had obtained it from the Journals of the
House of Lords.

Mr. Baron GuaNEY.—Was the then claimant discharged on
the ground of his being one of the household_?
Mr. KELLY said it so appeared.
Mr. Baron GUERNEY said he would consult with the other
Barons upon the point.
At the sitting of the Court, Mr. Baron GURNEY informed
the Learned Gentlemen that the Court granted him a rule nisi.

SECOND EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, Five o'clock.

PROROGATION

PABLIA.7IENT.

We hear that Parliament prorogued from the

25th inst. to the 18th December.

The shortness of the time fixed on is evidently to

give Sir ROBERT PEEL time to arrive, when it will

be duly considered what course is best to be fol-

lowed. Some say, that Parliament will be called.to-

gether early in January, others, that a Dissolution will

take place within a few days of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S

arrival. But the fact is, that nothing positive is known
as to what course will be pursued. Even the Duke

himself is puzzled by the novelty of his position. It

is a singular case!
