COURT OF KING'S BENCH, NOVEMBER IV:

UNIVERSiTY OF OXFORD.
Mr. Wrilusts sheaved cause against a tule assert-
ing the claim of the University of Oxford to try
causes of a certain description. The case in which
this right was intended to be exercised was in an ac-
tion brought by one of the young gentlemen against
the Proctor, for sending him to the Castle. He sub-
mitted, that as the Chancellor was not living, and as
the Vice-Chancellor had applied to the Court in his
own name, without stating that the authority was de-
legated to him, the rule ought not to stand.
There being no affidavit of the death of the Chan-
cellor, was also urged against its continuance.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended, that as the
privilege was not granted to the Chancellor nor to his
Deputy, but to the University itself, such statements
were unnesessary ; the University seal was affixed to
it, which was enough.
The Rule was ordered to be continued.
THE KING V. EDWARD GOULDBOROUGH.

The Defendant was brought up to receive judg-
ment, having suffered it to go by default, on a cri-
minal information which had been filed against him
as Postmaster of the City of Wells, for defrauding
the revenue of the Post Office. From the affidavits
which were read by the proper officer of the Court,
and from the speeches on behalf of the prosecution,
which were made by the ATTORNEY GENERAL and
Mr.ABBOTT, it appeared that the Defendant had been
guilty in several instances which had been detected
by the investigation of the Post-Office, of discharging
himself to the Post-Office for more niis-sent letters
than he actually received from the Post-Office, in-
venting fictitious names of the persons to whom he
pretended such letters were addressed.

Mr. BURROUGIT addressed the Court in mitigation
of punishment, urging, that the infrequency of the
crime, for which the Defendant was now to receive
judg'rhent (the Learned Counsel, in the whole course
of his practice, never having seen another instance of
the like fraud on the Post-Office,) could not call for
a severe punishment; and requesting the Court to
take into consideration, that the Defendant was en-
gaged in another business, which could not be car-
ried on if the Defendant was removed from his pre-
sent residence; and which, suspended, would entail
ruin upon himself, his wife, and four children.
The Court sentenced the Defendant to a fine of
8200 and lb months imprisonment in Newgate.
