LAW REPORT,

COURT OF KlNiPs ISLNC.4.II, SATURDAY. 1214. 29.
TH! KING Z. EUWAKD ,Es 4. AND O'THER'S.

Ma. MARRY Al' shewed cause against this rule,
aVliickhe said Was a rule calling on the "Magistrates
of the C.‘.tinty of Surrey to shave cause why ,they
should not have•granted an individual a licence to
ere a rwder mill- in a.partiof the County in the
„neighbourhood of Guildford, and the application
was madeonilie.:authority of an Aet of Parliament
of the I a Geo. C. 61: sec. 24. The justice's had
examiutd into this matter at the Quarter Sessions,,
and they_had refused to grant this licence._

Lord ELJANaotottou said, that as Mr. MARRY-
At had tp,sustain the order of the Sessions, he need
not go on at present, for that the labouring oar
was on the other side.

. , Mr. MA R RYAT said, that he should, upon this
intimation, have remained silent, but that by the
14,th tedion. of the Mt the Court might, award
costs to the justices for coming. into Court'upon an
applicatiOn so ill founded as this was. It had been
held that the answer of Justices to an application
for erecting , a powder,tnill, when they had said
there was no objection in it, but that•a 'powder-
mill was not wanted, had been sufficient; but here,
they had determined it was a very improper place
to greet a.powder.Mill ; that Several accidents hid
happened in consequence of a mill being ere&cd
there formeyly ; that it was within twenty yards of
the public road, and that some time ago a man tra.
veiling on the road had been blown up in conse.
quenee of an explosion of this mill.
14r. Justice LAW RE NC Observed, it appeared
rep the evidence of one person, that on an average
two perions lost their lives in one year in copse.
quence of 'this powder.mill being Vorked at this
place. . •
Me. MAR It VAT said, that the calculation was, two
in a year ; but the Witness observed, as an extra.
ordinary thing, that only one was lost within two
,- year's.
Lord ELL r,taaoßouou said, that as this was to
be made matter of calculation, the Parties should
not have been contented with stating themere kiss
of lives in this case; but they 'should have Cal.:
ciliated also how many of his Majesty's subji.ls.,
Were liable to be hloWn up in consequenceof the
iiiotking of this mill ; his Lordship added, that if
the Court were to interpose its •authority, and to
direct. the Justices to licence this place, he really
thought, they would do time: which Was of .a cri.
Mina! nature, for it seemed to him. that it would
eiOanger the lives of such of ills Majesty's sitb.'
jras as had occasion to travel the rod near to which'
this null was to he ereacd, and that merely to suit
the emoluments: of a private individual.
Mr. Justice Gaoss said, that if there had been
any doubts upon a case of this kind, the Magistraies
before whom all the evidence was 'given, wcre'more
able. to judge of it than' that Court. Not. only
laid - the Magistrates. heard all the witnesses, bot,
from circumstances; they knew also what credit was'
due to them better than strangers ; and what was
Still more, sereral of the Magistrates lived very
near the spot, and Svc to therefore able to. judge of the
fads correaly. • This,he personally knew to be the
CAM 11C Magistrates had elterCilied the di ere:
tion-repthed in, them by the Psi of Parliament, and
he ;toad every ligAson to believe they had' dune. very
. properly; .! • • • "
Mr. Ititice. LAWRIE ,ce said, that the faas
which appearedfbrhare the Court were conclusive,
that the Magiwateg had not made; wrong decision
ie that case ; for it appeared thit 'there was a road
within ,twenty yards of this place,,and that the ex.
tension of the explosion hadbeen known to be four
hur.deidyardso and 'yet ionic pfrsons had decided
that the powder-mill in this place mar be worked
with safety ; but thole wat, no pretence for saying,
justicts had done wrong in
.refusing to
panctliis licence, and therefore tke Court Wttlid
hot interfere. •

Mr, Justice LE BLANV said, there Was no lit
Our the decision of the Justices •at the Session was
stihjea to the reviiion and reversal of the Court ;
but before the Court reverse:4 it, they must see
clearly !flat the Justices at the Session had'done
wrong; knit here it wskst clearly, they had done
right..
Mr. MAtt.iti'm. said, that, for these reasons, he
b, eel the Rule should I,e dischaqed with costs.
Mr. Setif:int .13EsT t.;iid, that, hnaing Ole opinion
of the Court 80 strongly againA his Client, he had
riot 'atterniat(tto say, any thing in support of. the
Application, Ault, he trusted, this was not a case in
which the application `Should be dismissed with
cbsts. _

Mr, Easxmt moved for a Rule, calling on an
Attorney to bliew ciiu::e why he should not answer
the matters contained in an affidavit, by which it
was stated, that a Foreigner, having Mien into
embarrassed circumstances, and being apprehensive
that she should b troubled by her creditors, who
were Tradesmen,• she employed the ArtOrney to
cause her property to be sold, and the money so
distributed, as to keep her is much as'possible out
of embarrassment. The' Attorney received all the
money belorlgihg to this Foreigner, and then ad-
vised her to execute a War;•ant of Attorney, to con.'
fess judgment; in order, As he told her, to proteCt
bee trout 00 ine,of her creditors; .but as WWI as he
Lad 'got it, he entered up judgment upon it, stied
out execution on it, anti swept away every shilling

of the property, and kept it -ta himself. Mr. Vit'.
'IIO9M said, he should spare the name of the -At tor.:,
ney far the present, in hopes that he may beAble to
give a better account of this transaftion than was
here stated in the Affidavit.---Rule to spew. clusd

Mr. Ginns moved for an Information in the na-
ture of al:10 warrauto, calling on Mr. Drew, the
younger, to chew by what authority he claims to be
an , Alderman of die Borough of &hash': this he
...moved upon an Affidavit, which stated the Consti-
tution of the Borough, and also the circumstances
by which it was aliedged slut this GCntleman was
admitted irregularly.—Rale granted.

Mr. I.r.s moved that Benjamin Nicholls, who
was brought up by Habeas Corpus by the gaoler of
the Isle of Fly, 45tanding charged with a rape,
inight be bailed, to which Mr. Mykatt YAT objetted,
on the ground that the notice to the prosecutrix
was irregular, . and which appeared to be' .so, and

On the Lim&iek. Mail catch arriving 'last Mon.
day night' (the 17th inst.) at the suintnit 'of' Cher.
rytield Hill, near Kildare, at the place where Mr.
Blood had been' murdered in one of four similar
attacks,. sotrie of a band of:robbers, witli.o shout
not unlike the lediawwar wlcoop,.fired,it issu;roos.
cd, pripe!pally at the horSes, -one of whom,received
rbiriy slggs•in his breast, besides several of in
different parts of his body and limbs.. The coach-
man, whose hat was shot off, drove with such rapi-
dity, that two: men who bitting from ditch,
failed io an attempt to seize the 'tins. The two
guards (the Post-Office having, upon the extraor-
dimary redoaioo of the Cavalry e,curtl, appointed
a second guard to tittend oath_ coach) fired at' the
robbers, hnzzaiog at each discharge, but with un--
ascertained eftlo, till four men advanced from a
gateway to within as many yards of the carriage,
when, as they were in the at of firing, one-of the
guards, who had reserVetibisqund&rbess, gave them
the contents, and brought a couple to the ground,
a piercing cry giving reason to'believethat the others
had not entirely escaped: •
The firing
.continued at intervals.from behind a
hedge which fenced the .road,.. for about an hundred
yards, but withoust further•shoutings, or any other
injury than- to the horse; which, notwithstandiOg
the great loss of blood,'. proceeded with unabated
spirit to Naas, tburtcen English miles from thC place
wher= he had been wounded. - .

The Yost...office, with its, accustomed liberality,
on Tuesday rewarded, and incited to zealous scrviee
by a present of 20 guineas to each of the Guards,
who arc brothers, named 'Conroy, and of the like
,unt to the Coachman, named O'Brien. -These men
report, that they saw nine tp.ep upon the road, whilst
othors were firing from behind the hedge, and. their
accounts arc in almost every. instance confirmed by
Messrs, ,Ladwell, Holmes,. and Scully, who were
passengers.
The Fly Coach between Dublin and Newry was
robbed near Dundalk on Monday evening. the 17th.
The Navan Stage Coda was plundered a. short time
before, by. r 3 men, Almost at the tintince of DUlt-

circumstance, the, establishment,, c,.thduciye‘

passenger in the coach. Moore, the guard, who
made so.creditable a defence, was 'alive when the
