COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Novsatsra 26.
THE KING AGAINST .ADLA RD.
This was a question as to 0 e liability of the defendant
t‘..r.e the office of constable, in the parish of St.
B,,thramnew the Great, in the City of London. Ti.e
queoion was, whether the defendant, who rented pre-
wises within the parish, but did not sleep there, was
to serve the office? The case was argued on a
isomer day.
The Loan Cnicr Josue c now gave judgment, that the defendant
It:3 rot liable to serve the office.
THE ChIkINION SENSE.
Mr. J. WILLI isis opposed a rule obtained on a formei
e3y by Mr. Adolphus, calking on the pi oprie:or and
die publisher of the Common Sense, to shew cause why
A criminal information should not he tiled against them,
having in their paper published a libel of a most
ri:vorinus description, regarding Mr. Bunn, the husband
et Mrs. Bunn, the tragic actress, of Drury-lane 'rhea-
rte? The ground on which the Lear ned Counsel ob.
;tcted to the rule was, that Mr. Bunn was himself a
common libeller, being connected with another paper,
called The Age, which paper, since the downfall of the
.'ohn Ball—(a laugh), was considered to regulate the
weekly temperature of public scandal. His affidavits
,tutu, diet the depoirents were info-reed, and verily
teiwved, that Mr. Bunn was connected with The Age.
The Court intimated that this was not sufficient ; the party who
furnished the information ought to have made the affidavit.
Mr. J. WititAms wished to enlarge the rule, in order to procure
the affidavit ..f the party furnishing the information.
Mr. AucuJsos, for Mr. Bunn, said, that the libel
complainill of was of such a scandalous nature, that
firth and blood could not endure it, and no libel pub-
littrd by the opposite party cool.' justify it.
Wits.taus could not spew any other grounds against the
ru;:, and it was consequently made absolute.
Silt. T. J. WOULER AND LINCOLN'S INN.
Mr. Wooezn, who had been attending the Court for
seteral days past, was called upon to make his motion
r.t mandamus to be directed to the Benchers of
Litchis Inn, commanding them to admit him as a
nieriihr of that society. He read a long affidavit, in
staicli the fact of his having made var ous applications
to the Stev and of the Inn, to be admitted, and being
reused admission; and also of his having petitioned
the twelve Judges, who had refused the rule for a
niqnsanius, on the ground that the Inns of Court were
toluntai y societi. s, aird that the heads of each Inn of
C art way refure whom they please admission into their
te,pective societies. The Court said it had no authority
t grant the writ.
MARQUIS OF IItitTFORD, V. THE HON. AUGUSTUS
STANHOPE.
blr. BaquortAst opposed the Articles of the Peace
erhibiord by Lord Hertford against Mr. anhope, on
tae ground, that the Neale exhibitant did not state
upon the face of the articies, that he considered his life
I.i d ti ger.
Mr. lisomicn followed on the same side.
The ATionnav-Gstoznat contended, that Lord llcrtford had
nude out a case which called for the protection of the Court.
Tr.e LORD Cur EY JUSfICk: said—We are of opinion,
that it is the imperative duty of the Court, on the pre-
sent occasion, to requite Mr. Stanhope to find sureties,
himself in 5004 and two others in 2501. each, to keep
the peace to Lord Hertford, for the space of two years.
Mr. Stanhope immediately after entered into recognizance., with
two Gentlemen, Ilia friends.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Noveststs 26.
WALKER, CLERK, V. RIDGWAY.
This was an action for not properly setting out tithes.
The cause was tried at the last Assizes for Hereford,
before Mr. Justice Burrough, when it appeared that
the defendant, who was a farmer, had cut his wheat ;
bur, instead of letting the bundles stand the usual time,
and then tithing them regularly, he made up the stacks
tit an irregular number of bundles, by which it became
difficult, if not impossible, to count them, so as to as-
certain whether the number set out was correct.
The Learned Judge charged the Jury for the plaintiff;
but, after some consultation, they returned a verdict
for the defendant; a verdict with which the Judge
expres• ed himself strongly dissatisfied, a rule having,
been obtained in the commencement of this Term, to'
set aside the verdict, and grant.. a new trial, on the
ground that the verdict was against evidence and the
opinion of the Judge.
Serjeant Manor now sheered cause against the rule, and
contended, that the Court ought not to interfere with the
The Jury were the proper and constitutional Judges of the fact,
and as the law had been correctly stated to them, there could be
no ground fur disturbing their verdict.
The Court were of a contrary opinion, observing,
that the very fact of the law having been stated cor-
'tett,' to the Jury, was an additional reason for setting
ibikie the verdict ; since it appeared that they had de-
terminedly given their verdict against the Judge's
statement of the law.
