COURT OF KING'S I:IENCJI, Nov. 12.
HOLIDAYS.
EX-PAR cc vAITTIFUL.

This was a tU;tion for a Rule, calling upon the
Scaler of Writs of thiar Court, to shew cause why
he refused to sign an attachment of privilege on
the 5t h of November (Gunpowder Plot) without
an extra tee-. The affidavit stated, that Mr. Faith-
ful, an Attorney of this Court, applied on the sth
of November at the Office of the Sealer of the
Writs, for the purpose of obtaining the signa-
tare of that Officer to a writ- of privilege,
when he was told. that it could not he signed
without an extra fee, upon an allegation. that
the sth of November was a holidayairti that
the practice of the Office was, not to take the
ordinary fee on that day. - Mr.' Faithful said, he
should certainly pay the fee, but under a protest,
intimating that he should apply to the Court up-
on •the subject. Upon which the Officer said,
he should not sign the writ at all. The present
application was therefore made, on the• authority
of two cases in Sir William Blackstone's Reports,
another in the Term Reports, Inv! a third, namely,
the case of " TWeedle v. Fennel,'' decided in last

Term.
Mr. Justice BATLEY, who sat alone when the
motion was made, said that the cabes alluded to
had reference to holidays in Term. The holiday
in question' was atter the Essoign clay, and that
might make a difference. However, as it was im-
portant to have some fixed rule for future regula-
tion at to the payment of extra feei demanded in
holidays, it might he as well to giant •a Rule to
show cause.—Role to slim cause granted.

SHARMAN V. ALEXANDF,II ANT) rox.

Mr. GURNEY moved for t rule to skew Why the
witEd in this case shonld not be set aside. The
circumstances of the ease were in effect these :
Messrs. :llexantler and Fox) who were, coach pro-
prictori at Brighton, being indebted to the Court
tor ditties, an ex!ent went against them, but for
a.larger :amount than they owed. Mr. Joseph
Hill, an Attorney, upon this offered his services
to Picnic the business, and he paid the amount of
M. to redeem the coach and four horses. He came
to them and told them he had paid that money to

re►teem the coach and horses, but that it was not
ul►innately settled at the Stamp °lice: He then gave
them a receipt to sign, which they dill without ex-
ainin,it►g it, and it turned nut to be as follows
Received of gr. .1.. Hill 701. for a coach and-four

horses, which are to be returned when the money
is repaid. In point of tact, the coach and horses
were never in Hill's passession,.-but kept running
the road as usual, as the property of Alexander
And Fox. Hill, however, to get them, conferred
a judgment to Sharman, who was notoriously a
paper. and certainly-by his- connivance, a writ of
fierifacisWas sued out against himself and the
mud] and horses, worth 5001. taken in execution
as his prnpetty. The Arbitrator doubted it he
could impeach this judgment, although he was
satisfied it was fraudulent, and he thought himself
compelled to consider it as valid.
The Curt granted a Rule Nisi, to set aside
the awardoar in the alternative, to refer it back
to the Arbitrator.
