Yerlerday Trinity Term commenced, and tbe
Judges, alter pat taking id an elegant djenne with the
LORD CHANCELLOR, went in procetlion to Wellmin•
ller Hall, where the refpeelive Courts were opened
with the accuilomed formalities.

Cu:mos W,IOD, Eft!. who has praflited fo many
years in the Court of King's Bench, ani been em-
ployed in all the Cruwn pleadings, took his feat on
the Bench as nue of the Barons of the Exchequer, in
the room of Baron SUTTON, now Lord MANNERS,
and the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Serjeant Wont)
took the folliwing motto : " Legibus enivides moribur
°rues."

In the Court of King's Bench the ufual returns of
cone Ps at Woolwich and Portfmnuth were made.
It appeared that a degree of ficknefi. had prevailed
on board the Prudentia hulk at Woolwich, but that
it had now fubfided, and the convids were reported
orderly, and ftec from ficknefs.

Q.yn WARRANTO.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved Itr a rule to
thew caufe why an information, in the nature of a writ
of Quo Warrant° Ihould not be filed againll James
Gaborean, Ertl. requiring him to let forth by what
authority he holds the office of Mayor of the Borough
of Saltafh. Their Lordthips would recollect, that a
Mandamus had iffued, commanding, that the Borough
fhottid proceed to the elation of a Mayor, and in
confequence Mr. Buller, the then Chief Magiltrare,
proceeded to fummon a meeting of the Aldermen
and Burgeffe, for that purpofe. The Candidates
were put in nomination, but on account of fome in-
formality, no further proceedings could then be had,
and Mr. Buller, finding that to be the Cafe, declared
the meeting to he adjourned, vacated the Chair, and
quitted .he apartment. As loon, however, as he had
retired, the perfons who remained infiqed upon tak-
ing further peps, and, in his abfence, put Mr. Gabo-
rean in nomination for the Mayoralty, and he was
by them choten. The Court would fee that the
proceeding, wiihnut the prefence of the Mayor,
could not be legal, inafmuch as it was required, by
the charter of incorporation, that the Chief Magif
trate thould be prefent at the election of a Mayor fot
the enftring year. In return to the Mandamus fent
down, Mr. Bullet's party had Paid, that no elation
had taken place ; while that of Mr. Gaborean re•
plied that a Mayor had been chofen, as was direSed
by the Court.

Lord ELLENBOROUCH" You may take a rule to
thew Caine."

before a Nlagiaratt that he faw Keinp and his bro.
they break into the houfe of Thomas Underwood, in
the paiilh of Tilbury, E(for, in the night between
the zgth and 26:1) of March Lab and Ileal thereout
divers articles of wearing apparel, &c. The affida-
vits to induce the Court to admit the prifiner to bail
went to prove an and to ellabliffi the fad of
the prifoner's not being within two miles t,f the pro-
fecwoi's hour° on the night Rated. It was alto men•
tioned by Mr. Marryatt, t!lc prifoner's Connie), as a
matter of complaint, that the depofitions of tw9 wit-
netTes on the pm t.f the prolliuti:m had been taken
behind the back of the ptifoner, and at a time when
he was abf,:nt.

After heating the affidavits on both fi.lea, the
Court ordered the prifoner to be remanded. obferv-
jog, that the cafe was fo pregnant with fufi.icion, a
dark lanthorn and picklock keys having been found
at the place of the prifoner's abode, that it was fit a
Jury thould decide upon his guilt or innocence.
