THE CA32 OF TI OONVIOr mAyseLL.
To-day having been appmutai u•r htaring writs
rror, thin-unfortunate man was in atteolance, in order
that he might, either in pets,n or by counsel, assign
errors on the ju:fgtnent of the Curt of Queen's Bench,
by which certain objections taken by nil counsel at
toe trial were overrultd,

It will he r,c,,llecte.i frotn• the r.,p ,rte fdlat have
ready appeared in The Stirt, that the pr.,ori.'r, a soldier,
as tried at Haidstone some ti.iie ago for the inurdt.r of
4 corporal, and previous to the titsl coaxial ucing, certain,
objections were taken by his counsel as to the constitu-
tion of the jury, which rendered their verdict of guilty
invalid. The errors were afterwards at great length ar-
gued in the Court of Qadell'S Bench, but the judges were
of opioi,oi that nothing crntrary to law had. been done,
and accordingly dis,uis-ed the errors, and the prisoner
was afterwards ordered t.mext-incion. In appeal frost
that decision the present proceedings were in.tituted.
Mr. W,l4hy appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Ras-
cell for the prisoner.

The Judges baying taken their seats,
Mr. Itoe.ell said—My lords, in tto me of Thomas
Mansell there app-art to be sortie di:Realty with regard
to the practice of the court. 'Lien:, oeleg but a. single
pre .edent fur a proceeding like the present in the ES'
chequer Court, and that a very re 1.14.1 one, I suggest
that we should f dio.v the prat:tine at present pursued
in the C .urt of Q teen's Bench.

CliefJu-tice C,ck'iurn—Have you any •)bjection to
that course, Mr. Weisby
Mr. Welsby—No, my for 1,
Mr. Russell—Chen I have on the part of t se prisimer
to pray that the record be taken as read, and that he be
penal, ted to assign errors 4.1 that record.
n.lr. Welsby—As I un lerstand that the prr ira are
substantially the sane as those at the trial. I, on th•
part of the Crown, make a v• rbal rej hnder in error.
so that the arguments can be heard instanter.
Chief Justice Cockburn—ls there any precedent in
the Court of Queen's Beech, as to the time 'that must
elapse before toe hearing of the arga.iiet
114 r. Russell—There is a very ancient rul4of the C curt
of Exonequer. In 3706, as stated by Mr. Till in rule
23 aupen-iix 26, six drys were allowed for the hearing
of cases! witb:n 40 (adds of London, and 60 for others
Lot within that distance.

Chief Ju-aloe C•ickburn—That was the rule of the old
court. It 4toes not apply to the pre.lent.
Mr. \Va.:by—The practice of the Court of Queen's
Bench 1,4 t i give six days.

Chief Justice C”ektruni—Be it so. The arguments
will thertfore be heard tbis day week.

Oa the application of Mr. Russell, the day wa3 after-
war's alt,red to Tuesday, the 231 iust.
Welsby —Will toe Court make an order that the
prisoner be in attendance that day ?
Biron Bramwell—What ie to be done with him until
that time ? •

After a few observations+ from the learned counsel,
Cruet Justice Cockburn said—Let the pri4oner be re°
inande,l to Maid-.tone Gaol, +And be in attendance in thill
c mrt at half-past ten to hear the arguments on Tuesday
week.
