COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WEDNEBDkY, Nov. 10.

MAYOR OF PETEP,SFIELD.

Mr. WARREN moved for a rule to spew cause,
why an information in the nature of a quo war-
ranto should not be filed against Mr.JOHN NIEBREs,
the Mayor of Petersfield, calling upon him to
slim by what authority he exercises that office.
Mr. WARREN stated, that it might be in the re-
collection of their Lordships, that he had made
a similar application in Easter Term last,
which was founded upon two objections to
the. Election of the Mayor, who is chosen
at the Court Leet, held within the Borough of
Petersfield.. The first objection then was, that the
Steward of the Court Leet, who is the Judge, had
nominated and selected particular persons, whom
he directed the Bailiff to summon as Jurors at the
Leet, whereby be united it: himself the two ca-
pacities of Judge and Jury; as the persons so no-
initiated by him were persons who would, in all
probability, strictly conform to his wishes ; the
other objection was, that upon his Jury there
was serving.a person who was not resiant within
the jurisdiction of the Court. Upon one or both of
these grounds, the Court had granted hint the Rule
for the quo warranto An information in the nature
of a quo warranlo had accordingly been filed against
the Mayor, and Mr. Meeres, who then held that
office, had thought proper to enter a disclaimer,
and some parties, whom he knew ,not, had there-
upon applied to the Court tor. a Mandamus, to
the Steward of the Court beet, to hold a Court
for the Election of a new Alayor. At time Court
Leet held in pursuance of this kVrit ot Mamlamimus,
Mr. Meeres had been re-elected to s- rye the
office of Mayor of th: Borough ; but ti,e Jury
had been selected and nominated !o the Jidda by
the Steward, precisely in the' sante manner as they
had been at the tourer_ Court Leet, and upon this
ground Mr. Warren stated tiot' he founded the pre-
sent application. At the Caurt , 1.3011 S ho had a
right as resiauts and fr. erioltiecs witnin i.eE Bo-
rough to attend tii;:re, prese,ced, and ob-
jected to the course, ;mist': ti by the. Steward, who
nevertheless persisted in tt,e stone,. 'hough there
was many attending to C,lO-_ who ti> etc duly qua-
lified, and willing to sotve. on the Jury. Pie
Learned Counsel 'itch 'vent cot to say, that he
believed then', was no principle so firmly esta-
blished • its our law, as t;. it the. functiolts of
Judge and Jury litmus: ue kept distinct ; in the
present instance th•tt pri!tciple li.ot been vio-
kted, for ii!thougli some of very extensive
powers fummemly ves;uti in the Leet had now
taller into d.sit,,!, yet may minor offences were
still presentud at that Court, ofoNhich the Steward
was the Judge. 11. would not, he said, occupy
the time or their Lordships by detailing the
powers and tunc;ions of the Court Leet, but
he would merely refer them to my Lord' Coke's
commety on Statue IF. lienmy IV., whert.in it is
expressly iaici down this... Juries shall be returned
by Sheriffs anti of Franchises, " without
" any denotnioar ion to the Sheriffs or Bailiffs of
Franchises, before made by any prison of the
" names .vlticis by uitir shoulo be impanelled,"
and capon :hese grounds he trusted that the rule
would be granted.
The COURT, after referring to the Statute,
granted time Rule

BAILIFF OF THE COURT LEET OF PETERSFIELD.

Mr. WARREiN applied for a simil,ir ole,against
Mr..3ot-1N EE, the Bailiff, to whom both of the
objections formerly urged against Mr. MERREs
applied, which the Court also wanted.

NoVRMBER 9.
CORONER'S INQUEST AT OLDHAM.
THR KING V. EARNSHA %V AND TAYLOR.

Mr. SCAaLeTT moved for a rule to strew cause
why a Criminal I.•toitnation should not he filed
against John Earoshaw .(Surgeon) and Joseph
Taylor, for an attempt to prej..dice the minds of
the Jury, summoned by Coroner at the In-
quest upon the body of John Lees, whose death
has been the sithject or a long investigation in
the neighbourhood of Manchester.
The application was made on the affidavit of
Mr. Farraud, the Coioner, and two oti,ers, stating
that Taylor handed a paper to the Jury, written
by sEarnshaw, in which a private opit.ion was ex-
pressed touching the death of the deceased. This
was illegal, inasmuch as it was not a deposition
taken by the Coroner. Mr. Scarlett detailed the
circumstances which led to the Inquest, and the
adjournnient from Oldham to Manchester. He
also stated that Mr. Farrand's affidavit clearly
proved the delivery of the paper to the Jul.
Another affidavit imputed the writing to Earn-
shaw, but the Court were of opinion that they had
not proof to warrant that conelhsion. Under all
the circumstances, the Learned Counsel was al-
lowed to take a rule, calling upon Taylor only to
show cause.

The application with respect to Earnshaw was
refosed.

Mr. BAILEY moved for a quo warrant° calling
upon the Mayor of Nottingham to show by what
authority he holds that office. He was elected at
Michaelmas, and it was alleged th:it he had not
received the Sacrament in the ustaal Church. The
omission made his election void.

Mr. Justice BAILEY, who heard this motion,
after the Judges had left the Court, asked the
Learned Counsel whether he had applied to the
Mayor to know whether he attended at any other
church.
Mr. BAILEY answered in the negative.
Mr. Justice BAILEY observed, s that the inquiry
ought to be made. There were several churches
in Nottingham; and unless the fact of not receiv-
ing the Sacrament was established, the parties
might be put to unnecessary expence.
Mr. BAILEY undertook to make the inquiry.
At two o'clock the Lord Mayor elect was pre-
sented, and the Recorder invited the Judges to
dinner at Guildhall.

ENGLAND'S PERIL.

A NEW SONG.

Dear, dear, what's to be done ?
The Country is ruih'd as sure as a gun !
For and'GrtiztNotroti, and STAPYLTON)
Have all resigned,
So very unkind;
And left poor England to bear the weight,
Without their help, of Church and State,
(Chorus of Privy Councillors.)
Dear ! Dear
I mortally fear,
England will never survive the year !

Brave Captain WYVILL swears that he
No longer—barbarous man !—will be
A Captain of Yorkshire Yeomanry.
He has resigned,

And Lieutenant GREENOUGH cru:lly sneers
At his Country's unprotected fears,
And cuts the Westa Volunteers.

He has resign'd, &c.

And Mr. SzaPYtzroN seals her fate :*
So deadly is his Worship's bate,
He'll be no longer a Magistrate.
He has resien'd, &c.

What shall we do ?—where shall we run ?
The Country is ruin'd, as sure as a gun !
For 'NirvviLL, and, Gne,ENouna, and.STAPYLTON,
Have all tesign'd, &c.

Nothing but this can help our case :
Implore their honours for some grace;
And beg them to chase the very best place,
Which they can find ;
If they'll be so kind,
For England's sake, to bear the weight,
On their ow•n shoulders, of Church and State.
(Chorus, as before.) Or, oh dear

I mortally fear,
England will never survive the year!

Would Captain \VYVILL ease our grief;
And condescend to bring relief,
By taking the post of Commander in Chief.

Were the Hero inclin'd
TO he so kind,
For England's sake to bear the weight, &c.

And if Mr. GREENouGn would concur,
To accept—without any more demur—
Lord LivEttroot.'s place of Prime Illinistet
Were the Statesman inclin'd
To be so kind,
For England's sake, to bear the weight, &c.

And Mr. STAPYLTON !---Would he
Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire he ;
And wake Earl FITZWILUAM his Deputy!
Were his Worship inchn'd •
To be so kind,
For England's sake to bear the weieht, &c.

Then to these worthies let us vets ;
Or the Padieals have them as sure as a gun.
Oil, LI. I—gai;ENou Gil I—and SrarYuroN ! ! !
Pray be inclin'd
To Ise so kind,
.•
As for England's sake to bear the weight,
On your orvn shoulders, of Church and State
(Chorus of Pricy Councillors.)
Or, oh dear !
I mortally fear,.
England will never survive the year

THE THEATCEL—The Tragedy of Tamerlane,
which used to be annually revived at both the
Winter Theatres at this period of the year, was
represented last night at Covent Garden Theatre.
The part of Bajazet, one of the Stock Tyrants of
the Stage, was assigned to Mr. MACKEADY, who
supported it with impressive spirit and ferocity.
The rn;id and moral dignity of Tamerlane derived
l&ahtAge hum the performance of Mr. C.
KEMBLB. The scene in which Tangerlane is roused
from his august serenity by the galling insinua-
tions of Bajazet, that the former had dishonour-
able views on Arpasia, was well supported on both
sides, and was most deservedly applauded. Mrs.
BONN, in Arpasia, displayed considerable merit,
and Miss FOOTE gave a strong interest to the part
of Salina. ABBOTT'S Moneses was judicious,
spirited, and affecting. The Play is well written,
but not adapted to the taste of the times. It was
brought forward with great splendour.

THB PRINCESS OF WALES, &C.—lt has already
been stated that a letter has been received from
the PRINCESS by Colonel ST. LRGE/t, in which
her Royal Highness names the month of Decem-
ber as the probable period of her visit to this
country. It was, however, yesterday reported
that another letter is in town, which has been
received by a partner in an eminent banking-
house, in which the Princess states that she will
not return to England for the present ;, and the
Paris Papers received yesterday assert that she
has left Lyons on her road to Italy.—The Duke
of Kent, his Duchess, and the family, are now
about to quit Kensington Palace for a time. A
ship is now lying in the River Thames for the ex-
press purpose of conveying their baggage to the
coast of Devonshire. Their Highnesses mean to
make Sidmouth their winter quarters.—No steps
are yet taken to prepare far the reception of the.
Princess of Wales ; nor have any orders been re-
ceived ,at Kensington Palace. That proportion
of the North wing not occupied by the household
of the Duke of Kent has been dismantled for a
long time ; even the water-pipes are cut away.—
(Morning Post.)

It is currently reported that the Earl of FIFE
is to have the Blue Ribbon now vacant by the
death of the Duke of RICHMOND.

Vie Earl of COVENTRY has at this time a large
bunting, shooting, and coursing party, at his seat
of Croome, in Worcestershire, which it is expect-
ed will be joined on Monday next by the Duke
of GLOUCESTER and the Duke of WELLINGTON.
