to the various offences. The question had been treated
as though their object was to ascertain whether the offences
were deserving of punishment or not. If that question arose
at all, it was only as a secondary or collateral one. The main
question was this, was that document which was the result.
of all these collections of names and inquiries with qualifica-
tions, a sound or an unsound document; was it a do-
cument which gave aid to the sheriffs? It was said
that a judicial power was given here to the justices, repre-
sented by the recorder, which must not be interfered with
by the challenge of the array. In the present case there was
no complaint of any adjudication made by the recorder,
either of an omission or the retaining of names which ought
to have been excluded. The complaint began after that ad-
judication was made—after the exercise of judicial power, if
it were properly so called, which he very much doubted, was
at an end. The office was then merely a ministerial one for
the purpose of " causing"—to use the words of the Act--
" the adjudications to be collected into a general list to be
taken to the clerk of the peace." There was no semblance
of a judicial power, it was simply the work of an intelligent
clerk. Up to the point of the adjudication no complaint ex-
isted, but after that adjudication some power intruded itself
upon the scene, took this list, and dealt with it in a frau-
dulent manner. One of the Learned Judges was of opinion
that the challenge was good. He asked this pertinent ques-
tion, " What was the' difficulty when the eror was discovered
of rectifying it? How was the paper lost ?" This was a
question which he thought it would be very difficult to
answer on the part of the Crown. If the list for the former
,year had been sent by the Recorder, there could not have
teen any hesitation in sending it back, on the ground that it
was a mistake. It had been said that a difficulty arose here
from the circumstance that the jury were a special jury, and
one of the Judges had expressed doubts whether any chal-
lenge to the array existed in the case of a special jury.
He quoted the case of the King v..Edinunds, in Barnewall
and Alderson's Reports. In this case a challenge was made
to the array on the ground of non-indifferency on the part
of the Master of the Crown-office. Lord Tenterden de-
livered an elaborate judgment in that case, in which
he stated that the challenge could not be allowed.
The Muster of the Crown. office being the person who has to
strike the jury in the charactor of an elisor, the Learned
Judges in Ireland seemed to have supposed that the Recorder
stood in the same position of elisor, and therefore his lists
could not be challenged; that the challenge to his
list must be in a different character, and in a
different mode. But how could that apply to a case,
in which the objection to the challenge was, that the Re-
corder was a person over whom the Court had no power.
his proposition would be, that whoever was entrusted by the
law with the selecting of a jury must necessarily, as far as
those proceedings were concerned, come under the power of
the Court. The question the Court had to consider was
not how that list came into existence, but whether it was in
itself a sound document, and whether it gave assistance to the
Sheriff, or whether it was calculated to mislead him. Their
Lordships' predecessors had thought the power of challenging
the array so great, that no statute law could take it away.
He was proceeding to cite the case of the King v. Burridge,
in Lord Raymond's Reports, when
The LORD CHANCELLOR said—You are now beginning a
fresh point. Are you likely to finish your arguments in a few
minutes ?

Mr. my Lord.
The LORD Cif.4.NOELLOR—Then we ,will adjourn till tea

MARKET NE WS.-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN-EXCHANGE.
Since Monday we have received a full average time• of-year
supply of English Wheat, the quantity of which on offer Ti°
tolerably good. Although the attendance of buyers Ws
somewhat numerous the demand was in a very sluggish state,
and prices had a downward tendency. Foreign Wheat Ws
a mere drug, and might have been purchased on easier terno.
.For all descriptions of spring corn, the supplies of which
were by no means large, we had a very dull sale, and in al-
most every instance the currencies were somewhat easier.
