JULY 7.

To-day being the lag day of Trinity Term, was
occupied in hearing motions, and dilpofing of the
butinefs nectifary to he done previous to the Armes.
Mr. GIBBS moved for a mandamus to Commif-
(loners for enclofing the common fields, &c. of the
pari(h of Entham, calling upon them to make an
allotment of twenty eight acres of land, which
he contended were not allotted. An Ad paired
in the year 1781, allotting a certain proportion of
the waste in that parifh, upon which oecafion
Mr. Langford, as Lord of the Manor, received
482 acres, as his flare. His allotment came
clofe to the turnpike-road, and on the oppolite
fide lay the 27 acres in quellion, which were very
convenient for Mr. L. It feemed that fome of
the parishioners walled to have a ring of bells, and
therefore Mr. L. called a meeting of them, and
after giving them a dinner and (upper, propofed
to give the parifh a let of-bells. if they would let
him inclofe the 27 acres. This was agreed to,
but it was only in part performed, for Mr. L. had
inclofed the land, but forgot the bells.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH Paid, that they might go
to Chancery for a fpecific performance.
Mr. Gilles replied, that this cafe flood on other
grounds, for he contended that the Parifhioners,
being only a part of thofe entitled to the right of
common, could not make any filch agreement;
and as a fubfequent AQ pallid in the year t 800,,
for enclofing the remainder of the wages ; there
28 acres, which were part of the land unallotted
by the former AEI, ought now to be allotted by the
sail Aa, which was the object of his motion.
It appeared, in anfwer to a queflion put by the
Court, that Mr. L. had been in poffeffion eighteen
years.

Lord ELLENDOtOIIGH faid, if he had been in,
poffeffion twenty years, he would have prefumed
it to have been part of his original allotment. The
Rule • might be taken.
Lord ELLENBOROUGHafked if there was the cer.
tificate of the Attorney• General, of his content on
behalf of the Crown ?

Mr. HoveLL Paid, they had not that certificate
at prefent, but that the rule thould not be drawn
up without producing fuch content on the part of
the Attorney-General.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH raid, that not only was
the rule not to be drawn up, but it was not pro.
nounced without fuch certificate. The motion
was therefore refuted.
A motion was afterwards made for leave to
compound the penalties on certain cafes of nfury,
by confent of the profecutor, on payment of half
the fine to the King and a certain rum to the in.
former, betides cods to be allowed, as between
Attorney and Client : " But no, (laid Lord EL.
LENBOROUGH) this is an attempt to play a trick
upon the Court, by which the party intends to
gain, for his compliance, a larger rum than he af.
fetis to take." And therefore the Learned Gen-
tleman who moved it, propofed to hike out of
the motion, " Coils as Attorney and Client," and
infert initead of them, the words " Colts as be-
tween Party and Party ;" a difference which is
well underilood in the profeflion, and which is, in
fome cafes, very confiderable in amount. Upon
which the Court affented.

In an aaion for Criminal Converfation, which
now Rands for trial, Mr. Glass laid, a witnefs to
be examined was going to Ireland after the next
Sittings, for which reafon he hoped his Lordfhip
would appoint a-day for its trial.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH faid, he could not, at pre.
Pent, name the day on which it fhould be tried,
becaufe that might derange the order of the Corn.
mon Jury Cautes, but it fhonld be tried in the
courfe of the next Sittings. His Lordlhip then
took occafion to obferve, that owing to the pro-
ceedings of the City of London nov.' going on at
Guildhall, it had been deemed expedient that there
fhould be no trials of caufes there on Friday—and
therefore his Lordfnip defired Gentlemen at the
Bar, Attornies, and other perfons concerned, to be
apprized that he ihould fit in Weliminfler tnmor-
row and on Friday ; whether he lhould fit in Lon-
don on Saturday would depend on circumßances
with which he was, at prefent, not acquainted. •
