Previous to:llarriiins of the Court, Mr; GazEr.its
moved for a rule to thew cause,- why a writ of habcat
coritu.r shoiild not be issued for bringing op the body.
of the defendant in this case, and;why a cetlievati
'should not be issued, calling upon the Jailor of the
.House of Correction, to whose custody the said pri-
soner had been ecuoinit'ted, to produce copies Of the
depositiousCon which the commitment had taken
place. • The Learned Counsel s*ted, that' Unlade

the prisoner had purchased the. lease of the house,'
charged to have been set on fire by him for itrlSol:
, that he paid £7O for the fixturet, and expended .4850.
for furniture.
Mr. Justice DANPIER" Is the object of yotir mo-
tion to have the prisoner admitted to bail r'.: . ' •
Mr.•Gaiimze answered in the affirmative, and said:
the view the prisoner had in gaining his liberty waS,
to, collect evidence essential tOshis defence.
LOrd ELLestaoitothali--.." It is not usual to enlarge
persons on such ground, in eases:df this sort.""
Mr. GAZELEE would not oecupy: the tints .01 the
Court longer than was necessary ,IQ state the rea•onil:
for his application. The Learned Counsel then pro.;
ceeded to read the affidavits, which Went on to state;
that beside the money paid by the prisoner for the
lease, furniture, and fixtures of the house, he was
fieund by covenant in the lease to insure the house for
41-500, and thax:the whole amount of his insurance 6
was but sesooo.,:' Thu affidalit -then stated all .the
facts which arc already before the Pdhlic,.andsehrels
were stated by the prisoner in his defence, 'When be..
fote the Magistrates; namely, the hour of his quitting
the house on the morning of the .fire—his Awned
:finm thence all day, in search of a cousin frorwCZtrA

Glinp-house, in Bishopsgite-street, and having held
conversations with persons whom hi met there : these
persons he knew. not by name, but- if enlarged, 14 '
no doubt" he should be enabled to find them. Tbil:
were materiaj to his defence.: *- - .• -
Sir S. Le liiiiic,--4.1S the akdavit of the. prison*
supported by the affidavit of iny'other person r'
' Mr.' QazeLati said; No: Hit application was fount.
dett Simply- on the affidavit ..crf 'the. prisoner himself`,
whiCh "went oar to state, that when he returned bottle
he found a fire had Taken place at his house, which
hid been-extinguished. He found several' perstins in
the house—they were sfrangeis to
,him. When he
went otst-in the morning, he left £590 in bank Tames,
and ,kl:5 in gold and silver, hi his bureau, all of
which were stolen. Finally, that he knew nothingoi
'oe cause.of the-fire, and that his liberty was ill'iteri:-
-ally neresSary., tOenahletim to go totrial with safety.
Mr. GAZELEE stated. that the object of applyingfor
the tertiorari was .to apprize the Court of the nature
of use evidence upon which tip prisoner had been,
committed, which evidence he (Mi. GaZelee) had no
doubt,, on examination, woull induce the Court to
comply with his motion. - _
Lord ELLlNuotteivon,Oiserved, that if the Court
wete to'N;rant tfiis application upon the mere state-
ment which had been made by the prisoner, it would
:,be establishing a precedent for similar applications in
;114riminal cases ; and Persons' would constantly be
requiring their liberty; or the purpose of endeavour:
lag to find some flaw in the evidence which might.
have beenl , iven against them. It never could be a,
priutiple with the Court to liberate a prisoner upon an:
affidavit 'of his nwnethat he srtotall ,to collect evi- 1
deuce (Or his defence ; an'‘Anoie especially When
there was no fact adduced in support of such affida-
vit, or in corroboration of his innneence.
Mr. GAZECEE said, his oily wish was to have the'
evidence brought before the Court, so ' that .theit
Lordships might -see, on cdtiparing the depositions
with the staternenkeif -Abe 'defendant Ittinself, vihethir,
he might ant Predet*f be fibetated?
Lord Tr.tatint; itutnisi said, ii would. be 'impossible
'so receive these dsiositiosts, without' having t ,
