COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
STORY V. BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.

The CIIIEF JUSTICE said the Court had considered

this cane, which was argued yesterday, and were of opi-
nion that, inasmuch as the declaration disclosed a good
ties in the plaintiff to preser.t to th-.. church of St. Giles,

the only question to be considered was whether or not
it was in the power cf the Bishop of Winchester and
competent for him as ordinary, the church having con-
tinued vacant for souse time, to set up the title of the
Crown against the plaintiff. The Court were of opinion
that the law was perfectly clear and s,lttled upon the point
and that the Bishop could not do so. With regard to
the other objection, that the party, being in possession
of the church of St. Giles, could not, by virtue of the
statute of the 59th c f G e. M. and the Ist Vie . be ad-
mitted into the church of St. Mary Magdalen, they being
jointly worth more than 1,0001. Thi also appeared to
the Court to he perfectly clear and settled, and they were
of opinion, that by a linissic,n into the church of St.
Mary Magdalen the church of St. Gil s became ipso
facto void, and that the plaintiff was consequently en-
titled to present. They thought the pleas bad, on the
two objections raised, and judgment would theref.,re be
for the plaintiff:

HOARE V. SILVERLOCK.
In this case, in which it will be recollected the plain-
tiff; who was the daughter of a deceased naval oflher,
sought to recover compensation in damages fur a libel
in the Naval and Military Gazette,
The CIE JUSTICE intimated that he had received a
!otter from the plaintiff, going at great length, as ap-
peared to him, into the particulars of the case, but as
soon as he saw that it was a private application and
contained a statement of the care on the one side, he
directed it to be sent to the office of the opposing coun-
sel, and this was a practice which the court should
always adopt when private communications s ere sent in
rtfirence to cases pending before it. This was the
second letter which had been received from the plaintiff,
and the Court thought it 14 as a circumstance Lf which
they woe bound to tike notice.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)

COBBEIT V. SIR GEORGE GREY.

In this case, which was an action against Sir George
Grey, ai Secretary of State for the Houle Department,
for an alleged improper treatment of the plaintiff, whilst
an inmate iu the Queen's Bench ison,
The CHIEF BARON delivered the judgment of the
Court, upon the application of the plaintiff for a rule to
show cause why a certificate, granted by one of their
Lordship, certifying that the defendant had reasonable
cause to p!oad certain pleas, should not bo set aside. The
objections urged by Mr. Cobbett were, firs', that the
judge had no power to grant such a certificate ; and, se-
condly, that it ought not to be granted, ex-
cept by an agreement of the parties. The Court
found that Mr. Justice lattesen had granted a similar
certificate under the same circumstances, and between
the same parties, and saw no ground in the present case
upon which the certificate could be held to be bad. The
rule must therefore be refused.
