EX PARTE CLARKE.

The defendant in this case, who bad been committed
by the Master of the Rolls fora contempt of the Court of
Chancery, was now brought upon a writ of habeas corpus.
Mr. PASHLEY, on behalf of the prisoner, submitted
that in its present form the return to the writ
was liable to grave and serious objection, and
that the prisoner was entitled to his discharge.
The first ground upon which he moved, was that
the return did not state either that the Warden
had received any legal warrant, or that he was present
in the Court when the order was made. His second
ob-
jection was, that the prisoner was alleged to have been
committed for a contempt of the High Court of Chan-
cery at the bar of the Court of Chancery ; whereas the
prisoner had been committed from Lord Langdale's pri-
vate residence. There was no evidence whatever to show
that the man had ever been brought to the bar of the Court
of Chancery, the order of Lord Langdale merely setting
forth that the prisoner be turned over to the custody of the
the Warden of the Fleet. The Learned Counsel then re-
ferred to the Act, the Ist Will. IV., chap. 36, entitled an
Act for altering and amending the law with regard to the
commitment of parties for contempt by Courts of Equity,
and contended that the commitment of the prisoner had
not taken place in the manner and form prescribed by
that Act of Parliament, and the consequence of which
was, according to the provisions of the Act that the pri-
soner was entitled to his discharge.
Mr. JERVIS waa heard in support of the return, &c.
The COURT was of opinion that the action was good.
The Master of the Rolls was an officer of the Court of
Chancery, and wherever he sat must be taken to be the
Court of Chancery.
The prisoner was consequently remanded in custody.

IN RE BERNARD CAVANAGH: THE FASTING MAN.
The prisoner was brought before the Court on a writ
of habeas corpus, the return to which had been previ-
ously argued at considerable length before Mr. Justice
Williams.

Lord DENMAN said the Court was unanimously of opi
nion that the commitment was bad, and the prisoner muse
be discharged.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION-THE QUEEN V. THE PROPRIE-
TORS OF THE WEST OF ENGLAND CONSERVATIVE

JOURNAL.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for a rule to show
cause why a erinkinal information should not be filed
against the defendants for an alleged libel upon Lieut.
George P. Somerville, a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy,
and one of the Magistrates for the borough of Devon-
port. The article complained of charged Mr. Somer-
ville with being the author of an attack upon Mr.
George Robert Dawson, which appeared in the Devonport
Telegraph, stating that in their opinion he was the
author of that perfect specimen of blackguardism—that
he was the same individuel whose evidence was erased
from a public document for his insolence, and that two
of his family had been provided for by the Government,
and a third rejected because he did not know how to
write. The affidavit of Lieutenant Somerville totally
denied these statements.—The Court granted the rule.

lic interest.
