NAWDANUS.

Mr. %onetime said he bad to mate an application of a moat
pressing nature.
Mr. Justice BATLIST.—We cannot hear yen now, as the Court is
going to sit at Nisi Frio..
Mr. Baooeaw hoped the Court would grant him a link indul-
gence, as on the event of his motion depended, he might say, the
bread of 700 poor people.
Mr. Justice Rinse—Well then, go on.
Mr. BSODWISCIL then stated his application Was fora Mandamus
to be directed to one of the Overseen and Churchwardens of
Cambridgeshire, to compel them to sign a Poor's Rate. A Rate
had been made and signed by two of the parish oaken but the
alter two, without assigning any reason, positively refused to affix
their names. The rate could not therefore be legally collected.
Mr. Justice BATLIT--Have the Magistrates refused to sign
the rate ?

Mr. Baonsatcc—They have not refused, my Lord, but they
say without the rate is signed by all the parish officers they have
no authority. He therefore trusted the Court would grant a pe-
remptory Mandamus, as on Friday nest more than 700 poor per-
sons must be relieved, and there were no funds whatever for that
Purpose.
Mr. Justice BATIAT—Take a Mandamus. Mr. Broderick, abso-
lute in the first instance—Mandamus granted.
At one o'clock Mr. Justice James Palma sat at Nisi Prins.
