ANOTHER WRIT OF HABEAS IN
JERSEY. *'''.
(From a Second Edition of the Jersey 61,
;tie rte.) 1....:3': 44.
We have returned to Jersey at last ; and happily,.,_ (•,',l‘.:, ),
for many and various reasons, with a peremptory writ ,!,i, ',2.‘,1,,'',--.:: '
of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum, issued by Baron.,7j; ...4,-,3
Rolfe, and returnable in the Queen's Bench. We'—:,-6
served the writ to-day on Mr. Kandich person.o4o :;. ,,,,r ~.V
and a copy of it duly on the Viscount. The fullaw---;;Li'
ing is the order of Court directing the issue of the ..`
writ :

" R. M. Rolfe.—Upon hearing Mr. Peacock, fur
Charles Carus Wilson, and upon reading the several
affidavits of William A. Langdale, and of WiLiam
Russell, and the exhibits thereto annexed, I do order
that a writ of Habeas Corpus ad Subjiciendum issue
directed to John Kandich, gaoler of Jersey, and to
John Le Couteur, Viscount of the said island, to bring
up to the Court of Queen's Bench the body of
Charles Carus Wil*ou, returnable on the 18th day of
January, 1845.
" Dated the 23d day of December, 1844."
The following is an exact copy of the writ and en •
dorsements

" AD. SUB.
" Victoria, by the grace of God of the 'United K irg-
do:n of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, Defender
of the Faith, to John Kandich, keeper of our gaol of
Jersey, in the Island of Jersey, and to John Le Cou-
teur,•Viscount of said island, greeting, we command
you that you have the body of Charles Carus Wikon,
detained in our prison under your custody as it is
said, together with the day and cause of his being
taken and detained, by whatsoever name he may be
called or known, in our Court before us at Westmin-
ster, on the eighteenth day of January next, to un-
dergo and receive all and singular such matters and
things which our said Court shall then and there con-
sider of him in this behalf and have there then this
writ. Witness Thomas Lord Denman, at Westmin-
ster, the twenty-third day of December, in the eighth
year of our reign.

" By the Court,

" ROBINSON.
"Endorsed by the Judge : At the instance of
Charles Carus Wilson.

(Signed) "11. M. ROLFE.
" Mr. A. Langdale, 7, Gray's Inn-square, London,
attorney for the said Charles Carus Wilson, 23d
December, 1844."

The efforts of the Viscount and his subordinates to-
day to avoid service were most ludicrous. We were
not obliged to serve a copy upon the Viscount per-
sonally at all, but as counsel suggested that it might
be as well to endeavour to do so, we proceeded about
twelve o'clock to that gentleman's residence, St.
Aubin's, rang the bell, and, in answer to our inquiry,
were told by a middle-aged man servant, that the
Viscount was at home, but too ill to see any person.
We then desired him to inform his master that we
were there with a peremptory writ of habeas corpus,
to bring up the body of Charles Carus Wilson to the
Queen's Bench, England ; at the same time exhibit-
ing the original writ and copy. The man deParted
on his errand, and presently returning, told us the
Colonel could say nothing about it, finishing with
" I beg your pardon, sir, but I must shut the door.
Ha! ha! ha !" Truly laughable was this absurd ex-
pedient to avoid the service of a writ.
Returning immediately to town, we entered the
Viscount's office, and served the clerks there (Messrs.
Sullivan and Binet) with copies of the writ and
order. Those young and sensitive gentlemen were
even more alarmed than their master, and very de-
cidedly refused to receive the dreaded papers. Nay,
in excess of zeal, Mr. Binet threw the copies after us
as we descended the stairs. Curious this, for a
lawyer's office. About ten minutes afterwards the
writ was served upon Mr. Kandich, who took such
mere matter of course quietly and reasonably.
It may be perhaps as well to mention that the: ex •
hibits mentioned in the rule of Court were the "I•ule"
obtained by the Solicitor-General, and the tflidavits
of Mr. Wilson and the Procureur-General. It will
require more than ordinary impudence, therefore, to
assert on this occasion that the Judge has been sur-
prised into granting the writ.
Is there no limit to the jurisdiction of the Jers©y
Royal Court ? None ! We believe if the eleven
Apostles were to revisit earth, and light upon Jersey,
Judas himself, all the while in England, could throw
them into Jersey gaol, and that our Royal Court
would be glad to pluck them. One Captain R--,
an Englishman, lately visited Jersey from Caen;
owing nothing to any man in England or in Jersey,
An alien—a Frenchman—seeing him here, ordered
the Deputy Viscount of Jersey to arrest Captain
R--, which the Deputy Viscount did—with a
constable's staff, having a crown at the end of it and
he did this, mark ye, " in the Queer'; name," as if
the captain were a criminal, and without warrant--
without an affidavit of dets,t—without any security
from the alien Frenchman that he would appear and
prosecute his suit, And in the Queen's name this
Deputy Viscount lodged his prisoner in the Jersey
debtors' prison. In the Queen's name ! We appre-
hend that without warrant the Queen's name might
have been invoked with a poignard equally law fully
by the defendant,

FRIGHTFUL SCAFFOLD ACCIDENT IN JERMYN•
STREET, ST. JAMES'S.—Menday forenoon, a dreadful
accident, attended with fatal consequences, occurred at a
new building in the progress of erection, situate at the
corner of Jermyn-street, and Duke-street, St. James's-
square, belonging to Mr. Slater, butcher to her Majesty.
It appears that Mr. Archbutt, builder, of Hanover-street,
Chelsea, superintended the erection of the building
which is chiefly built of stone. On Saturday evening
last, prior to the workmen leaving their work, two nsas..
