KING'S BENCH.-WEDNESDAY.

The Court was occupied during the whole day with cases
of parish settlement, none of which contained any matter of
ptiblic interest. Lord Denman took his seat in the morn-
ing with the rest of the Judges, but his Lordship appeared
to be suffering under a somewhat severe attack of indisposi-
tion. He left the Court before the close of the day, and
Mr. Justice Pattoson, in afterwards stating what were the
arrangements for the business of to-morrow, said that the
Lord Chief Justice would probably not be able to attend,
so that the cases of new trials, in the new trial paper, which
had occurred before Lord Denman, would not be taken.

At the rising of the Court a person who had two or
three times before attempted to address their Lordships,
was called upon by thetn to make the statement which he
seemed desirous of making. He then described himself as
a singer who had come up to London to obtain an engage•
ment, and he began to demand justice against Sir George
Smart, respecting whom he was about to make some com-
plaints regarding professional business, alleging that Sir
George had undertaken to obtain professional engagements
for him, and had not performed the promise, when he was
interrupted by
Mr. Justice PATTESON, who asked whether the facts he
was now stating were upon affidavit ?
The applicant would swear to them. He would swear
to them on the sacred book he held in his hand—the
Holy Gospel.
Mr. Justice PTTTESON—That is not what the rules of
this Court require. You must make an affidavit.
The applicant said that an affidavit was an oath, and that
he was willing to swear.
Mr. Justice PATTESON—An oath is not an affidavit.

The applicant was ready to swear what he stated was
the fact. He only wanted justice. He complained that
it was refused him.

Mr. Justice PATTESON—WC must act in your case
upon the rules that we apply to others. It is very easy for
you to put upon paper any statement that you know to be
true, and then to swear to its truth. You must do that be-
fore we can hear you. If you will not do it, you must cot
say that you are refused justice
The applicant said that he had make his case known to
the nation, and on the nation he relied for justice.
Here the matter dropped.

BAIL COURT-WEDNESDAY.

THE KING V. BAGSHAW, ESQ.

In this case an attachment had been obtained against
the Sheriff of Derbyshire ; -and this day it was moved, on
the part of the Sheriff, for a rule to show cause why the
attachment should not be set aside, and all proceedings
stayed. The rule was moved on the affidavit of the de-
fendant's 'clerk ; and Mr. Justice Littledale directed the
Learned Counsel to take a rule nisi.

COMMON PLEAS.-WEDNESDAY.

I.IIILEY V. BONSOR.

This was an action tried at York, at the last Spring
Assizes, before Mr. Baron Parke. It was brought by the
plaintiff to recover a sum of money, the amount of goods
sold and delivered. The defence was the Statute of
Limitations.

The verdict passed for defendant.
Mr. WIGHTMAN, upon a former day, moved for a rule
to set aside the verdict, upon the ground of a misdirection
of the Learned Judge, for' leaving a point of law to the
Jury, when he ought to have reserved it for the Court above.
Mr. ALEXANDER, to-day, moved to set aside the rule.
Mr. WIGHTMAN supported the rule.—Rule discharged.
