VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY).

This being the first day of Trinity Term, his Honour
the VICE•CHANCELLOIL did not take his seat till nearly
half-past one o'clock, having to breakfast with the Loan-
CHANCELLOft and the other Judges, blasters in Chancery,
King's Counsel, &c. His HONOUR. immediately on taking
his seat proceeded with motions, but up to two o'clock no
case of any public importance had come before the Court.
KING'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, lUr. Justice J. PARKE, and
• Mr. Justice TAUNTON, took their seats at half-past one
o'clock. Lord Tenterden was absent from indisposition.
Sir JAMES ScAltuurr moved for a Habeas Corpus to
bring a lady into this Court. The parties were
highly respectable, and as there was no occasion to
make their names public at present, he would abstain
from stating them. The application was rather of a novel
character. The lady, who was 29 years of age, and inde-
pendent of her father, had been under a contract of mar-
riage with a clergyman, to which marriage her father
was opposed. She had quitted her father's house, and
went to reside at the house of a female friend, which
friend had made an affidavit, the lady herself having made
no affidavit, being probably ignorant of this proceed-
ing. She had exercised her undoubted right to leave her
fatber's house, and chose to reside at the boarding-house
of her friend near the city of Gloucester, communicating
her intentions and motives to that person. The next day
her brother arrived there, and requested to be accommo-
dated with a bed, which was granted, and the following
day her father and his servants came and forcibly conveyed
her to his residence. She called out for assistance on the
road, as appeared by an affidavit, and a gentleman
went to her, but upon learning that it was her father
who was with her, he of course declined to interfere,
particularly as a pistol was presented to him. Applica-
tions had afterwards been made by several persons
to see her, but her father refused to permit any
one to see or converse with her, and kept her
a close prisoner in his house. A solicitor had
applied by letter to see her, but the father merely gave him
a reference to his solicitor. Under these circumstances
of course the lady was unable to make an affidavit, but
there were sufficient affidavits to show that she was de-
tained against her will in her father's house, although she
was 29 years old, and independent of her father.
The COURT granted a rule to show cause.
THE BRISTOL RIOTS.
THE KING V. CHARLES PINNEY, ESQ., AND OTHERS.
,The ATTORNEY•GENERAL stated that this was an in-
formation filed by him against the Mayor and Magistrates
of Bristol, for a neglect of their duty during the riots
in that city in the mouth of October last. He bad at first
felt it his duty to have the case tried at Bath, but from
various circumstances it appeared that much inconvenience
would arise from tryingit there, and his present application
was to remove the venue to the county of Middlesex, which
he had reason to believe was also the de'ire of the Magis-
trates themselves.
Mr. Justice J. PARKES—You have a right, as the
Crown Officers have a trial at bar, and you now wish
merely to remove the venue.

The ATTORNEY-GENIC/IA!. raid that was his motion;
and, in the interim, it might perhaps be convenient
if their Lord hips would fix a time when the cats
could be tried. The object of the Crown was to try it as
early as possible.

Justice LITTLEDALE-That can be considered here-
after. You had better take a rule Nisi, to enter a sug-
gestion to the inhabitants of Bristol, on the ground of nbt
having a fair trial in Bath. —Rule Nisi granted.
