this indictment from the Middlesex Sessions. The de-
fendants had a trite bill found against them, at the last
Clet kenwgllSessioas, for a misdemeanor, and they now
applied to have it removed into the King's Bench, in
order that it might be tried by a special Jury, and by
one of the Judges, instead of the Magistrates, and that
they might have the benefit of employing Counsel in the
Court of King's Bench.
Mr. Justice }teeter asked if the affidavit suggested that any
points of law were likely to arise ?
The Learned Counsel said that was not alleged, but the rank of
the parties would probably be taken Into consideration by the Court.
The Coiner said they thought it reasonable, and granted the Cer-
tiorari.—The names of the parties were not mentioned.
