LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 23.

Robert (lark was brought up to plead •to an in-
dictment for publishing an immoral and indecent
libel ; the prosecution was at the suit of the Society
lot the Suppression of Vice. The defendant pleaded
Not Guilty ; and moved for a list of the members of
the society, in order that none of his prosecutors
might sit upon his jlry ; the same motion had been
made against the people called " The Constitutional
Association," and acquiesced in by the Court.
Mr. Justice lloutovn said, that the Court could
not know, unless by affidavit, who were the defend-
ant's prosecutors.
The defendant wished to know, whether an affi.
davit that he was prosecuted by " a certain society,"
would be sufficient?
' Mr. Justice lIOLUOYD-" The Court cannot decide
prospectively."
The trials of Mr. TitELWALL and the other persons
prosecuted by the Bridge-street Association, will
stand over till October, in conseciu6nce of the suspend
sion of business on account of the Coronation.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 23.
HOLDING 9. IMPEY AND OTHERS.

This action was brought by the plaintiff against
the defendants, who are Commissioners of Bank-
rupts, to recover damages for a false commitment to
Newgatc. It appeared that a Commission of Bank-
ruptcy having been issued against the plaintiff, it
became the duty of the Commissioners to take an
examination. They accordingly put the following
questions:—" Did you purchase of Edmunds a silver
tea-pot on the llih of January, lfi'll ?"—" I cannot
speak to the date. I believe I purchased a tea-pot
for 1:35."—" Where is that tea-pot ?"—" I cannot
say ; I cannot exactly say where it is."
The above answer, which the bankrupt would not
retract, was deemed unsatisfactory by the Commis-
sioners, and they committed him to Newgatc until
he gave a more satisfactory answer.
The Jury, under the above facts, had to decide
whether the bankrupt was not bound to give a dif-
ferent answer; and, under all the circumstances of
the case, they found a verdict for the defendants.
The Learned JUDGE observed that this was the
first action of this description tried in the Common
Pleas since the time of Lord Chief Justice DE GREY.
