COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in banco before Lord Campbell, Justices Cole-
ridge, Erle, and Crompton.)
THE QUEEN V. THE TIVERTON BURIAL BOARD.

This case came before the Court as a demurrer to a
special verdict, relative to the Bishop of Exeter's refusal
to consecrate the Tiverton Burial Ground.

The real question is whether a 12 inch wall, built by
the board as a line of demarcation between the Dissen-
ttrs and Churchmen's burial grounds, was sufficient or ,
not.

The arguments of the learned counsel are expected to
occupy the whole of the day.
