LAW INTELLIGENCE.

MANDAMUS.

Mr. REEDIL moved for a Mandamus to be di-
reeked to the Aldermen of the Borough of EA
Retford, commanding them to proceed to the elec.
lion of five Aldermen, Rating the conftitution of
the Borough, and that application was made to
them in vain, to do fo : that five of the Aldermen
were dead, and that unlefs there are others chofen,
the Conftitotion of the Borough will be diffolved.
—Mdtion granted.

THE SADIATH DAY.
On a qneftion, in which a party had been ferved
with a notice of a proceeding in the Court on a
Sunday, it was contended, that the party had
waved his oblation to that irregularity, by having
acquiefced in fome fubfequent proceedings.
On the other fide it was maintained that the ob-
lation was valid.
Mr. Juftice LAWRENCE read a cafe frgm a ma:
nufcript note, in which it had been held, in the
Court of Coinmon Pleas, that a fervice of a procefs
upon contempt. had been waved by the party, by
afrenting to fubfequent proceedings, without mak-
ing oblation in the firft inftance. But there was
a fubfequent cafe in the Court of King's Bench, in
which it was held otherwife.

Lord EI.LENBOROUGH.--44 And the laft deter-
mination appears to me to be the better of the two,
for the policy of the Law is, that Sunday !hall not
be confidered as an ordinary day, but that it is to
be dedicated to the purpofes of Religion ; and that
no party (hall be permitted to confider whether he
will fet afide this objeetion by waving it, or not."
The fervice, was, therefore, held to be irregular.

THE KING V. J. HILLAKER, GEORGE MARES, JAMES
MAY, PHILIP ADWARDS, AND SAMUEL FERRIS.
This Ohs a cafe of very great importance to the
'public.--The five Defendants were brought up, in
cuftody of the keeper of the gaol of Devizes, and of
the keeper of the hook of correaion forthe countyof
Wilts. The writ had ifrued on the motion. of Mr. ,
J k xv Lt., on the ground that their commitment was
illegal, and that they ought to be hailed.
The return to the writ Rated that the Defen-
dants had been committed to prifon in Augult lift
by two jullices for the county of Wilts. It then
fct forth the warrant, from which it appeared that
they were charged with having adminiftered un-
lawful oaths, contrary to the ad paired above five
years ago. The terms ufed, however, wire ex-
tremely vague and untechnical.
Lord ELLausoitoocu laid that the commit-
ment was bad upon the face of it, and that the
Prifoners mull be difcharged.
Mr. Gisas, for the profecutinn, informed the
Court that a certiorari had gone to briny up the
depofitions made before the /vlagiftrates. ',the com-
mitment was bad, he allowed ; but if there depofi-
tions could have warranted a gond commitment,
he contended that the Prifoners mull be remanded.
Mr. ERSKINE exprefred doubts of this propo-
fition ; but
Mr. Juftice LAWRENCE declared that it had been
fo decided over and over again. ,
The Clerk of the Crown Office then read the
depofitions. The firft was by Robert Vefey. He
[wears that. he is a clothworker in the town of
1 Trowbridge. in the county of Wilts : during the
