TITLE of the NEW VICE-CHANCELLOR. •
he qin-s;i011 as to the title 01 the new Vie-Chan-
cellor, which has ;ateiy ibrined the sot ject of so much
clocussden in the equity etairta since the commence
incnr of term, hes at Length been sati,factorily settled
by some oto,ervations made by Sir PL bert Rolfe him-
eT in court during the week. The difficulty was
This, that the statute 53 Geo. 111., under which Sir
Lancelot Shadi.vell AVM appointed Vice-Chancellor,
expressly provides that the Vice-Chancellor appointed
under that. Act shall be called Vice-Chancellor " of
Eng:And ;" but the statute 5 Vic., cap. 5, under
which Sir J. Knight Bruce and Sir J. Wigram were
appointed Vice Chancellors, provides that after the
deeth of Sir Lancelot Shadwell, the future Vice-
Chancellor to be appointed under the 53d of George
111., and the Vice-Cbancellors appointed under the
later Act shall rank according to priority of appoint-
ment. It was then supposed that any Vice-Chan-
cellor appointed under the 53d of George 111. must
necessarily be styled Vice-Chancellor of England.
The resignation of Vice Chancellor Wigram did not
of course affect the question, as there was an ex-
press clause in the Act of 5 Victoria, cap. 5, pro-..
hibitirg a re-appointment to his office upon his
than or resignation. On Thursday last a petition
was presented to Vice-Chancellor Rolfe, headed
" Vice-Chancellor of England," and Mr. Stuart,
who appeared in support of the petition, submitted that
the beading was perfectly correct; since any Vice-
Chancellor appointed under the 53r1 of Geo. 111. ,
ought to be styled Vice-Chancellor of England. His
Honour said, that although he was appointed in the
room of Sir .Lancelot Shadwell, he did not consi-
der himself authorised to take the title of Vice-
Chancellor of England. The title was originally
introduced by the desire of Lord Chancellor Et-
don, for the purpose of lessening the dignity of the
office, his own title being Lord Chancellor of
Great Britain, aid when the two Vice-Chancellors
were subsequently appointed, the title "of England"
was adopted by way of distinguishing Sir Lancelot
Shadwell, whose office was of a higher rank. There
were now two reasons why he (Sir Robert Rolfe) con-
sidered himself not authorised to assume the title of
Vice-Chancellor of England. One was, that by the
Act of 5 Vic., cap. 5, the existing Vice-Chancellors
were to rank according to priority of appointment,
and cons, quently Sir J. Knight Bruce was the senior
Vice, Chancellor; the other was, that he was not styled
Vice-Chancellor of England in the patent under which
he held his appointment.

LA W INTELLIGEN CE.
COUNT OF Ci? BEACH, Nov. 25,
THE QUEER V. EATIMER.

Mr. CROWDER shewed cause ag,inst a rule for al-
lo ing the defendant costs under the following cir-
cum,tances. In this case a criminal information had
been filed against the defendant for the publication of
an alleged libel. The case was tried at Exeter, and
a verdict given for the defendant. The present rule
was then obtained, requiring the Master to tax the
costs due to the defendant in consequence of the ver-
dict in his favour. He (Mr. CroWder) submitted that
the defendant was not entitled to costs. The question
depended on the construction of the- 6th and 7tn Vict.,
c. 96, so tar as that statute could be applicable to this
case when taken in reference to the 4th and sth
William a, d Marv, c. 18. The earlier of these sta-
tutes had provided' the manner in which proceedings
in a criminal information should he conducted, and it
obliged the party who obtained a criminal informa-
tion to enter into recogn zances conditioned for the
due prosecution of the iuformatioo, and with that was
the condition that if on such trial the verdict should
be for the delend,nt, then and in such case the Court
of Queen's Bench might award to the de-
fendant his costs, unless the judge before whom
such information was tried should, on the trial of
such information, in open court certify that there was
reasonable ground for exhibiting such information.
On that statute it was clear, that if the judge granted
a certificate, then, although the defendant might have
succeeded at the trial, he would not have the costs.
But if he was not entirely deprived of his right to
costs, it was clear that he would be entitled to no
more than 201., that being the amount of the recog-
nizance. Atter this statute came the Act of Victoria,
which enacted, that in case of the indictment or in-
formation being prosecuted by a private person, if the
judgment of the Court should be for the defendant,
he should be entitled to recover costs, and if the issue
was on a special plea and was found for the prosecu-
tor, he should be entitled to costs occasioned by such
plea, such costs so to be recovered by the defendant,
or the prosecutor to be taxed by the proper officer of
the court.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Is there any provision in
the ,tatutP of Victoria for a certificate?
Mr. CROWDER answered that there was no such
provision ; but he contended that the two statutes, as
they related to the same matter, should be construed
together.

lord CAMPBELL—We are now called on to put a
construction on the Bth section of the statute of Vic-
toria. There are two branches of that section. On
the second of these branches we are not called on to
give any opinion, for the prosecutor has not suc-
ceeded in obtaining a vet diet ; but on the first of
them the question we s now raised. Here was the
case of a criminal iriforrnation with a plea of not
guilty, and this plea is followed by a verdict fur the
defendant. The question under these circumstances
is whether the defendant is to have his costs. As it
seems to me, it was the intention of the Legislature
to give the defendant his costs; and I do not think it
could have expressed that intention more clearly or
in a more explicit manner. The words of the section
are these, " _Chat in case of any indictment or infor-
mation by a private prosecutor, if judgment shall be
given fin- the defendant, he shall be entitled to re-
cover from the prosecutor the costs sustained by
reason of such indictment or information. Prima
facie that provision expressly applies to this
case. But then Mr. Crowder says that he is
entitled to take advantage of the statute of
William and Mary, in which there is this exceptive
proviso—"unless tha judge shall certify." But in
the recent Act there is no such condition, but the di-
rection for payment is absolute. The Legislature
might not unreasonably consider that the law should
be changed i❑ this respect, and that if an indictment
or information should be preferred, and the person
who was made the defendant should be found not
guilty, that he should be re-imbursed the money
which that indictment or an information might have
occasioned him to expend. The prosecutor may not
be blameable for having instituted the indictment or
information, for he may have had reasonable cause to
do so, but if it turns out that he was in error, then
the question is on whom the loss should fall, and
there is no reason why the loss should fall on the
defendant, for, though the prosecutor has not been
blameable, the defendant is expressly found by a jury
of his country to be not guilty. The statute seems
to me to be right in point of justice. But we have
nothing to do with arguing about the justice or the
policy of a statute, but to see what the Legislature
has declared, and to carry its declared intentions into
effect.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—There is great reasoa to
believe that the construction now nought to be put
upon the Act in question was not in the minds of those
who passed the Act. The Act does work a great
change in the law ; and as to this particular matter,
there is no direct expression of such an intention. It
a narrower construction was put on it, the law would
he more completely consistent, and the legislation of
William and Mary would not be touched. But re-
membering that a great change in the law was in-
tended to be made at that time, it might have been
part of the intention of the Legislature that this
change should take place; and certainly the words
here were very clear. So the Court must adopt this
new rule as to costs, and must give to plain words
their lull and natural meaning.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—I think that this rule
must be absolute. Tne words of the statute are too
plain to be doubted, or to admit of the construction
put on them by Mr. Crowder. If the Legislature did
intend that a certificate should be understood to be
necessary, it is to be regretted that that intention was
not expressed.
Mr. Justice ERLE—The Act is perfectly general
with respect to indictments in cases of libel, so that
no doubt can be entertained on the subject. Then,
can it be said that there is any difference
information
on to the rule with respect to
on libel ? The language is in all cases
of "indictments or informations," but it is said that
though that language is absolute as to indictments, it
is only qualified as to informations, because of the
provisions of the former statute, which statute has
not been expressly repealed. it seems to me that
there is no ground for that argument, but that the
words of the more recent Act must have their full
effcct, and that we cannot import into the new statute
words which would qualify the plain intention of the
Legislature.—Rule absolute for the defendant to have
costs.

THE GALE IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL.- BRISTOL,
Noy. 22.—During the whole of yestei day.we had tremen-

a perfect hurricane. A coal vessel called the Harriet foun-
dered, the crew were fortunately picked up by the Osprey
steamer. It is currently reported at the Corrmerctal-rooms
that a large ship, supp,sed to be an East Indianian, had
tour eyed off Bideford-bar, and that all hands had perished;
also that a schooner had sunk on the Naas Sands. Last

A. yoneg twn named Johii Fitch, described as a
teacher of music and &a wing, in Je2e.us-lane, Cam-
bridge, etas placed at the bar before Mr. Hail, charged
wieh ehtaining motley under Llse pretences.
Mr. Bourne, cashier, in the service of Mr. Parker,
bookseller and publisher, 445, West Strand, stated
that on Saturday evening, November 2, the prisoner
came to the shop, and after representing that he was
the nephew of Professor Scholefield, of Cambridge,
said that be had just arrived in England, after a lung
voyage, and mentioning the names of several highly
respectable persons as his friends, none of whom were
in town, he was at a loss for so much cash as would
defray his travelling expenses down to Cambridge.
He also represented that he should not be out of
money but he was unable to get a bill of exchange
cashed to answer his temporary distress, and showed
some letters, apparently written by a person named
Scholefield, whom he pretended was his father. Wit-
ness knowing that his employ er was acquainted with the
Professor, aeked if a sovereign would be sufficient for his
! present wants, and the prisoner replied that it would,
and that he would repay it on the Monday following,
on his return to town for the purpose of ✓getting his
luggage from the vessel. The prisoner not returning
according to promise, inquiries were made, and then
it was discovered that, the name of the pruieFetor hav-
ing been so repeatedly used of late for such purposes,
he had been compelled to insert an advertisement in
the local newspapers cautioning the public against a
person using his name.
Constable Tapley, E, proved that he apprehended
the prisoner on suspicion of felony, but being dis •
charged, he informed him that he would be detained
on the present charge. Pri,oner said he knew no-
thing about it, but before and after he was identified,
he inquired if any other persons were preferring
charges against him, since which time he discovered
that he had defrauded several others, by the same
means.
Mary Johnson, daughter of the landlord of the Crown,
public-house, in Essex street, Strand, said the prisoner
came to lodge there about a month back, and occasion-
ally afterwards. He said he had been to America, and
was once joined by a boy and a girl he called his
sister. He next came about a fortnight back, and
went away without paying the amount of his bill,
previous to which he desired that it' any letters came
directed to Mr. Scholefield, or Fitch, they should be
taken in.
The prisoner declined putting any questions to
the witnesses, and he was ordered to be remanded for
a week.
