LAW INTELLIGENCE.
BAIL COUR7', April 21. -
There were no motions of any interest this morning,
(Sittings at Nisi Prius.)
JENNINGS V. HADDOCK THE ELDER.

Mr. V. Lee for the plaintiff, Mr. Petersdorff for the
defendant.

This was an action brought to recover an amount of 301.
on an acceptance granted under the following circumstances :
—The defendants son, a publisher in North Wellington-
street, required pecuniary assistance in his business to the
above amount, and his father accepted a bill for 301. This
an attorney of the name of Coles, in Holborn, undertook to ge
discounted. After the lapse of a few days Coles gave the de-
fendant's son a note to a Mr. Dipple, also a publisher in
Holywell-street, who advanced 101. upon the collateral secu-
rity of the cm( ptance, which was to remain in Mr. Coles'
hands. A second advance of 10/. was afterwards made
by the same gentleman. The defendant subsequently paid back
to Mr. Dipple 4/. and 5/. of goods, leaving a balance standing
of 11/. Mr. Coles afterwards negotiated the bill with Mr.
Jennings, the plaintiff in the action, who is the manager of
a loan society in Farringdon-street, and Mr. Jennings applied
to the defendant when it became due for payment.
The action was defended on the plea that the bill was to
remain only as a security, and that no instructions were
given that it should be negotiated. _

On cross-examination of the defendant's son, it appeared
that he had been indebted to Mr. Coles in some former
transactions, and that be had instructed him to negotiate the
bill in question ; to settle with Mr. Dipple, and pay himself
with the balance.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said the defendant had not the
shadow of a case, and a verdict was returned for the plaintiff,
with costa.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April2l.
(Sittings in Banco.)

THE GREAT REVENUE CASE-THE ATTORNEY• GENERAL r.

SMITH.

At the sitting of their Lordships this morning,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he had to show cause
against a peremptory rule obtained by his Learned Friend,
Mr. Kelly, for a writ of distringas, commaxcling the
Sheriff of Middlesex, on or before the 22d day of April,
to take five or more of the gentlemen who were
to form the special jury on Wednesday in the important case
of the Attorney-General r. Smith, over the defendants' ex-
tensive distillery in Whitechapel, for the purpose of examin-
ing the works and machinery. Now he had the greatest
objection to such a course, and, ifit was granted in this in-
stance, it could not be refused in others.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—The first question is, whether
the Court have power to grant the application, if the Crown
refuses its assent.

The Soucrrott-GwErtat, was of opinion that the Court had
not the power.
The Lott') CHIEF. BARON—There have been cases of a jury
going to look at a horse, or a house, but that was by consent
of parties.
Mr. Baron ALDEnsos—Does the Crown object to the jury
viewing the premises?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL--YCS, certainly, my Lord.
The LORD CHIEF Butox—Then, under these circum-
stances, I am convinced the Court has no authority, by
statute or common law, to make the order. When a rule nisi
was granted, it was only granted on the supposition that the
Crown would not object.
The Soucrroß-GENEBAL—The jury will have the model
explained to them on the trial, and it will only confuse their
minds if they see the premises, and he believed there was no
necessity for such an application.
Mr. F. KELLY exceedingly regretted that there should be
any opposition to this motion, as he considered it only fair
and reasonable. He certainly was not prepared with any
authority bearing on the case,_but in a celebrated horse cause,
not long since, the Learned Judge suggested that " Running
Rein," the winner of the Derby, should be produced for the
inspection of the jury.
The Sotacrroß-GENERAL—Yes, but the horse was not
produced.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—And the principal object in the
case referred to was, for the witnesses to have an opportunity
of identifying the horse.
The Souccroß-GExEm strongly condemned the appli-
cation to the Court, the evident object of which was to create
a prejudice against the Crown proceedings and in favour of
the defendant.
_ _

Mr. F. KELLY urged, at considerable length, that it was a
case in which the Court oui,ht to grant- the order prayed for.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—We are decidedly of opinion
that the Court has not the power to grant the application ;
but, if we had, just on the eve of the trial, it would most
likely be impracticable, and certainly unjust towards the
Sheriff, his officers, and the jury, to call upon them to as-
semble, without reasonable notice. The trial takes place on
Wednesday, and when the jury are in the box, the applica-
tion (if it is thought advisable) can be renewed, and, if
acceded to, they may be accompanied by an officer of the
Court. After considerable discussion the Court refused to
make any order for the jury to view the premises,
The SOLICITOR-GE:7EIUL said there were two other Ex-
cise informations against James George Smith, and he wished
to mention to their Lordships that it was the wish of the
law officers of the Crown that they should be decided by trial
at bar.

The LORD CHIEF BARON—You had better name the subject
again on Wednesday.
