QUEEN OF PORTUGAL V. D'HARBER.
Sir F. THESIGER said yesterday their Lord
granted a writ of prohibition to the Lord Mayor's CO
in behalf of the Queen of Spain.
Lord CAMPBELL—NO, a rule to show cause.
Sir F. THESIGER thanked his Lordship tor the C°t•
rection ; and he had now to move for a similar rule °,
behalf of her Majesty the Queen of Portugal All6O
tion was brought in the Lord Mayor's Court egt„:4
r,
her Majesty in the month of July last by a M. D'llorriii
and it seemed that the only possible ground of
which he could have against her Majesty was tP,i,
Certain moneys which he alleged belonged to him et
to
time when Don Miguel was driven from Portugal, vie,)
in the hands of a banker of Lisbon, and after tid''
flight of Don Miguel those moneys ho o'
leged were paid over to the Portuguese vo-;
vernment, so that if the gentleman had 81..".';
claim at all against her Majesty, it was a claim
arose in Portugal, and certainly not within the jurio:1";
tion of the Lord Mayor's Court. That action hoy'llh°
been brought in the month of July, 1850, an attllc".
ment was issued upon it to attach certain moneys to
ig
hands of Goelthan Carlos Xavier De Birto, who
d
the agent of the Portuguese Government, and who P-0
in the hands of his bankers here money, which bad heeo
transmitted by the Committee of Public Credit fr°
Portugal, for the purpose of paying the dividends do
upon upon Portuguese bonds. That attachment was trieob'e
the course of the next month, and a verdict given for
est er
garnishee, M. D'Harber, who had since thought pr°Y,,,
to recommence another action. In that action
had added something to the description of Ow
party against whom he proceeds, which appeared r
him (the Learned Counsel) to make the case even stro§get
against M. D'Harber. In his affidavit he said her 31°6%
Gracious Majesty Queen Donna Maria, as reigl3%
sovereign and as supreme head of the nation of Portage
was justly and truly indebted to him in the seln..o
12.1361. for money had and received by her said Man;
Queen Donna Maria, acting for and on behalf of t,
said nation of Portugal, to and for the use of bioa
said M. D'Harber. Nothing could be stronger thao
to show that this action was brought against her Maie.s3
as head of the nation of Portugal, and as its reigul:e
sovereign, and he the Learned Counsel, therefore, 00;41
hended that such an action could not be maintained
this country.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—YOII may take a rule.
Rule nisi accordingly.

(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
THE BURGLARIES IN SUSSEX.
M,
Mr. JOHNSTONE said he had to apply to his Lord-
for a habeas corpus to bring up the body of a Pericj
II
named John Isaacs, who was at present in the cast°f /0
of the gaoler of the prison at Lewes. His object ~,,10
making this application was to have the prisoner ta'l-
before the magistrates at Horsham to answer a 036;15
of burglary. His Lordship was no doubt aware, I°,o
was a matter of notoriety, that a number of persons ,;,,
tried at the last assizes for the county of
sex, for a burglary committed at Uca"", 0
A bill of indictment was found against them, as wer,.
against the now defendant, John Isaacs, but at that ti'lc;
and until within the last few days, he had managed. t.
elude the vigilance of the police. Upon that bill of lauis
meat being found the Lord Chief Justice signed a wt
,
g
rant for the apprehension of John Isaacs, and a few udY
%,
ago he was apprehended, at or near Frome, in Sonol,ts
shire, and in accordance with the direction of the W1:0,
rant conveyed to his present place of custody at Lew t,
He (Mr. Johnstone) would now enter into another ON,
ter connected with this affair. His Lordsl37,
would probably also be aware that a Peo
son of the name of Samuel Harwood
tried at the late assizes, at Kingston, for a burglsll4
at the house of the Rev. Mr. Holiest, at Frimley,
for the murder of that unfortunate gentleman, but
ultimately acquitted. He was, however, immediateYA
apprehended on another charge of burglary, coransitW;
on the night of the 3d of June last, at the house of
a
person named &opal., at Kirdfurd, in Sussex. P:
was detained, by order of the judge, and taken bef°r"
this magistrates at Horsham, where the matter undiri
went a partial investigation, and a remand was orderep
until Saturday next. In the meanwhile, as had 11

with that view that he applied to his Lordship for a `

removal of John Isaacs to Horsham. There w.,b
only 0110 doubt which could be entertained Wl'it
regard to the present application, viz., whether
should be made to his Lordship's sitting in court, or 9'
chambers. The application had been made in court 11
