CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

The VICE-•CHANCELLOIt and Mr. Justice BOSANQUET sat in
this Court to-day, as the Lords Commissioners-of the Great Seal,
and took motions and appeals, none of which were of the least
public interest.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

THE KING v. THE INHABITANTS OF ST, MARY,

NEWMARKET.

Mr. AwnaEws said this was an appeal against an order of two
Magistrates o'; Cie p::ish of St. Mary, Newmarket. The Sessions
had confirmed the order of the justices, subject tr, the ccs rm-,-
mated for the decision of the Court. The pauper, John Porter,
had gone to reside in the parish of Fordham, and while residing
there, had been elected by a Court Baron to the office of Pindar of
the town of Fordham. The pauper claimed a settlement under this
appointment, but it appeared that there were no less than five
manors in the parish of Fordham, and therefore the Court Baron
had exceeded its jurisdiction in making an appointment which would
extend over the entire parish. The statutes of 3d William and
Mary, and 9th and 10th George 111., conferred a settlement upon
such persons as had been legally appointed to an annual public
office in the parish ; but in the present case the Court Baron had
jurisdiction over only one-fifth of the parish, and therefore the ap-
pointment was illegal, and the settlement bad.
Mr. KELLY, on the other side, argued that the appointment of
Pindar to the town of Fordham was vested in the Court-baron of
the manor in question, and that such was the invariable custom in
the parish.
The COURT observed, that as no authorities had been cited in
support of the legality of the appointment, it was of opinion that
the settlement was bad, and, therefore, the order must be discharged.
THE KING v. THE INHABITANTS OF ST. GEORGE,
EXETER.

Mr. BARSTOW said this was an appeal from an order of Magis-
trates for the removal of a pauper named John Lee. The order
had been quashed at sessions, and the case bad been sent up for the
decision of this Court. The pauper, whose mother was at the
time residing at Crediton, had been apprenticed by the overseers of
the parish to his uncle, one Mumford, residing in the parish of St.
George. The pauper was only 12 years of age at the time the indenture
was executed, and his father was at sea. The pauper at the time
the indenture was executed, was residing with his uncle out of the
parish of Crediton, and the point for the decision of the Court
was, whether the circumstance of the pauper being corporeally out
of the parish at the time of the binding, rendered the indenture,
and the settlement consequent thereon, void. The Learned Gen-
tleman contended that, according to the provisions of the statute,
the binding was good, inasmuch as the overseers were authorised
to bind pauper children " where they shall see convenient."
Mr. CROWDER, on the other side, argued that the overseers had
exceeded their authority, and had no right to indenture a pauper
residing'out of their parish, and without his own knowledge or
consent, to a person who occupied no lands or tenements in such
parish. The provisions of the 43d Elizabeth, and 20th George
111., were clear upon this point ; and as the overseers had no
autority to make such binding, it was net sufficient, and confirmed
no settlement on the pauper.
The COURT took time to consider the arguments.—Judgment
deferred.
