COURT Of O,R!IP,ItYLT ie.

Application was made to the Court on a former
day to supersede the C -.omission issued against Mr.
Harcourt, a banker, at Bridgewater, in Somersetshires
Ind a Member of Parliament, at the instance of a
person named Pike. who was concerned at one time
in business with Mr.. Harcourt. It appeased that Mr.
Harcourt was indebted to Mr. Pike in a sum which
had been recovered at law, amounting to s 15000;
and, on the other hand, Mr. H. declated ig affidavit,
,
that Mr. Pike owed him £ll,OOO.
The Lona CHANCELLOR. in giving judgment, ob.
I served, that this application to supersede the Coes-
i mission had been nude on the ground that Mr. Har.l
court had not been properly described according to '
Ithe Statute of the 4th of Geo. 111. taking away pri.
r vilege from Members of Parliament becoming bank.

dersood that he had no wish. to/increase the privileges
of Mt tabeTs of Parliament, who might become bank.
insists unda the Statutet neither had he any power to i
I 'afford a remedy against him, except such as was'
established by law. In this case Pike-had put in an
affidavit that he had recovered £500) of Mr. Har-
iourt at law. This affidavit was filed on the SS of
April last, and the summons (at directed by the 4th
of Ge0..111.) was served the same day. This was
ifvegelarly done, because the summons ought to have
beets taken out and served after. the deposition vans
filed. On the Sth of June the Commission wai sealtio,il

he had been accused. He denied his guilt, but thr
men were inexorable, and procuring a lever, covered '
with the felts, they force/ him to get upon it, and
tying his legs together, carried him towards the Bell,
at Thurnham, from whence . they conveyed him to-.
wards the mill of Messrs. Wise, and threw him into
the pond, there leaving him. He extricated himself,
and returned home covered with mud. fie stated to
the Court, that previous to this- affair he was afflicted-
-with a rupture, and liable to fits, and drat in cone.,
quence of a fall, he was also at times .not in p-rfect
possession of his reason. The principal part a the
men haonging to, the mill assisted in the affair, but
the defendants were indicted as most active. The
defence set up was, that what II lywood cuff. red WAS
agreeable to the general custom, and that he was
carried by his own consent, no force having been used
to seat him on the lever. The Jury brought io a
verdict of Guilty. His Lordship, adverting to the*
infirmities of Haywood, and the general circumstances
of the case, most severely censured the conduct of the
defendants, and sentenced them to pay a fine ot 20s.
and to suffer one week's imprisonnte,ot iu Maidstone
