BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice ERLE.)
QUEEN V. CORPORATION OF BRADFORD. ob
Mr. Justice ERLE gave judgment in this case, lvu'j
was an application for a mandamus requiring the enrrof
ration to re-elect a portion of their body in pursuaen'os
the Municipal Corporation Act. The motion for chord
nisi and the details of the case have already appe", ,

solute for the mandamus.
Rule absolute accordingly,
QUEEN V. JUSTICES OF ItALESOVER.
Mr. M. D. BILL moved the Court under the 11 and
12 Vice, chap. 44, section commonly called Jervis. Ilea
for a rule to show cause why the justices of Lielelf
should not be required to issue an order in bolas Jo
The case was this. An order in bastardy was In 0
upon a person named Daily. By that order be vib

e
called upon to pay the sum of 2s. 6d. per week t^n't
mother. There was a provision in the 7 and 8 v
under which the order was made, which enabled 111 „/
tices, if the application was made within six weeks
Paid
the time of birth to order the weekly sum to be PS
from the birth, but if the application was postponed bisi;
yond that period then the power of the magistrates e
limited to making the order for payment from I'd
date of the application. Now, it aPPsaree,
upon the face of the order in this nssde
that the application to the magistrate was Ins.
after the expiration of the limited time, and yet the 83_,*;;
gistratos ordered the putative father to pay from the as,'
of the birth, instead of the date of the application. It.
made the order defective, but not null, and the untg'd
tr ates had therefore refused to enforce the order witu°-
the authority of this Court.
Mr. Justice ERLE thought it had been laid down that
an order which was bad in part was bad in the whole' kg
Mr. M. D. HILL said there were cases in the ll°
where the Coutt had interfered to enforce parts of orderd
that were good, notwithstanding that defects aPloste
upon the face of the order itself.
could
Mr. Justice ERLE remarked that if such a rule coU
be established, it would be highly salutary, but he had 6,
impression upou his mind that an order detective iu Part
was bad in the whole.
Mr. M. D. BILL rmninded his Lordship that it had
been decided that where a magistrate made an order
retrospective when they had only power to make it Pro-
spective, the Court would interfere to enforce the
pro-
spective portion. Now, that was a somewhat analogun•
cam to the present, and he hoped it was sufficient enth°.
rity to induce his Lordship to grant a rule nisi.
Mr. Justice ELM--You may take a rule to 011°W
cause.—Rule nisi accordingly.
