COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 4.
THE KING V. EIIAIILLY.
Mr. G ua XVI` moved for a Writ of Habeas Corpus to be direc-
ted to the Governor of the House of Correction fir the County
of 'Middlesex, to bring up the body of Francis Bradley, who stood
committed for an offence, under an Act of Parliament called the
Little Go Act ; and the Defendant was ordered there to remain
for six months' without Bail or Mainprise, and until discharged in
due course of law. The motion whi,7h he was now submitting
to the Court, was founded upon a th • Commitment,
which was for" unlaw filly exercising a certai g .me,by drawing
of rickets or lots for goods, and tliqeriiiai; ant. de.dine out money
in lieu thereof." It happened that this was the clause in the Act
of parliament, which prohibited the practice under a penalty of
5041 but that which gave the Magistrate a power to commit the
offender, was of another form. The pe:•ii,ty clause was in the
42 Geo. 111. c. 11 v. sec. 5. the committing clause was in the first
sect. Writ grained.

sian Sailor, who had just arrived in this cote dry, after beirg im
pressed front a Prussian vessel at Monte Video, in order to his
being discharged.
Mr. Justice i.e fit Ago asked, whether the Learned Counsel
was aware of any declaration t f hostility havirg been made by
the British Government against his Prussian Majesty f
Mr. READER replied, that he was aware of no such decla-
radon.
lord EL Le tIBORMTGII—If that is the case, the Habeas Corpus
may go • but on the contrary, if he is an alien enemy, he must be
considered as a prisoner of war.

N EV. MA N AGAINST MORGAN.
Mr. (ARROW moved fora new trial in this case. It was an
action tried before Mr. Justice Heath, at Chelmsford, at the suit
of a farmer against the Rector of the r.arish, for not taking away I
the tythe of hay. On the evielnice it was proved, that the tythe
was set outimatediteely afier the grass was cut in the swathe, and
then the farmer required the Rector either to take it away, or to
make it himself upon the gralind, and then take it away, but re-
fused to let his own servants proceed to make it into hay.
The Learned Judge thought the farmer was bound to have ted-
ded the hay, that is, to have mad,. it into grass cocks, and pro- ,
crud toward.. the first process of haymaking, tier oin,rwise the
grass could nut pr sperly be taken away, but would be in d:u.:ger
of being heated and spGiled. and upon this ground he uonsuited
the Plain: ar.
• Mr. GA ItRONV /pre'. Cd his ignorance of the art of haymaking,
and even of the term 'Podding, but contended, that there could
be no medium, and either the Lanier must be compelled com-
phtely to rrake the hay, or might reqtrire the parson to take it
away after it was cut, without doing himself any thing towards
preparinr it for the stack. He did not, however, contend that
the parson should not have the use of the farmer's laud furtnaking
the hay.
The Court granted a rule to thew cause, in order to considtr
the question, as it was of gm :It importance to the community to
settle this point with respect to the law of tythes ;but they seemed
much inclined to adopt the rule laid down by the learned Judge.
