the petition as to the propriety of its postponement, on
account of the filing of fresh affidavits. Mr. Wakefield
feared lest the interests of his client (the petitioning cre-
ditor) would suffer, if the matter were now discussed.
The Lord Chancell,r overruled the objection, and said
he would be responsible for the interests of Mr. Wake-
field's client.
Mr. BICKERSTETH stated the petition to pray for a
aupenedeas, and was proceeding to detail the facts and
grounds upon which the prayer was founded, when
Mr. WAKEFIELD stated that he could not resist the
supersedeas. His object was to obtain a new trial.
Mr. BICKERSTETH said that such a motion ought to
be made before the Judge (Lord Tenterden) who tried
the issue.

Mr. WAKEFIELD *brained that he was entitled to
apply fora new issue, on the ground that fresh evidence
could be adduced:
Mr. BICKERSTETH stated, that the only question
which remained was as to costs, and he thought that
not only tl e costs of this application, but of the issue,
should be paid by the other side.
Mr. MONTAGU said a few words on the same side.
M. WAKEFIELD resisted the application for costs,
and contended that a new issue ought to be allowed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR asked whether the trading
bad been made oat at the trial?
Mr. MoaTacu replied that it had not, and there was
no pretence for it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR recollected at the former
discussion of the case it was alleged that Major Roper
was weak in body and intellect, and that was one ground
for a sutienedeas of the Commission. He recollected
Major Rbper sent down to Dover, and from thence to
Calais, with his friend Captain Dance.
Mr. MONTAGU confirmed the statement that Captain
Dance had gone out among the Swan River colonizers,
arid his evidence could not be obtained.

Mr. WAKEFIELD proceeded to read parts of the evi-
dence on the tr tal, and the Chief Justice's summing up,
from the notes of the short-hand writer, in order to
show the nature of the evidence, and to prove that tilt-
client ought not to pay the costs of the proceeding.
He had no objection to paying the costs of the present
application.
Mr. SVGDEN was also heard for the parties in the
same interest with those of Mr. Wakefield.

The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed to take the notes of
the ttial home with him, and' read them, with a view
to the question of costs.
It was understood that the Commission should be
supet:eded iu4anler, and the question of costs reserved

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MAT O.
CIiAPLIN V. BURNES.

Mr. STEWART said he was instructed to move for the
committal of the defendant, an old Lady, for not putting
in an answer to a Bill filed against her by the plaintiff.
• The VICE CHANCELLOR inquired if the defendant was
jn Court, and on being' answered in the affirmative, he
desired the officer to bring her forward.
In A. few minutes an old wretched looking woman, of
• more than eighty years of age, made her appearance..
• Vica-CnaNctett.ott-15 it against this poor old crea-
ture )(in wove, Nr. Stewart; what are the facts?
Mr. SIEWART—Jhe defendant is the surviving exe•
:utris of a person who bequeathed to the plain•iff, upon
her attaining the agent twenty-one, the sum of lON. but
upon application being made to have the fund trans-
ferred (the Money being in the defendant's name), she
positively refused so to do. It was therefore necessary
to file a hill against her for that purpose.
VICE CHANCELLOR, to the defendant—On what
ground do you refuse to-put in your answer?
Defendant—LOßD bless you, Sir, I*now nothing' at
•
-alf about it. Ido not know What this is all for.
A female who attended the defendant stated, in an-
swer tp questions from the Court, that the defendant
kept a little fruit stall, and was in the most abject state
of poverty—that she had not the least_ idea of the con-
sequence of her refusal, which she persisted in, always
alleging as a reason that the 1001. ought to have been
divided between two persons, and not all given to one,
and that she was now in her 84th year.
The VICE CHANCELLOR here held a long. conversation
-with.the defendant., and advised her to transfer the 1001.
'stock into the name of a person appointed by.the Court.
The old woman•agreed to transfer the stock.
COURT OF KING'SRENCLI, MAY 30.
REX v.- WELsH.

Sir JAMS SCARLETT had obtained a tnle to show
Cause why an information, in the nature of a quo war•
'mato, should_ not be filed against.tbe defendant, on the
;allegation ;fiat he had.esurped the office of a capital
-burgess of the borough of Wells.
Mr. TotostTon showed cause against the rule. The
case, he said, was one of great importance, as it de-
pended on their Lordships' determination, whether or
.not the. Corporation should cease to exist; for if the .de-
fendant should be ousted, four others, who were elected
at the same time, and under the same circumstances,
would he ousted also. By the Charter of Elizabeth,whieh
was the governing Clavier of the borough, seren Mas-
ters, the May or making an eighth, and sixteen Capital
Burgesses, formed the Common Council, which therefore
consisted of '24. Now, without the five persons elected
on the 16th of June last year, there was not a compe-
tent number •of capital burgesses. The objection was,
that the defendant and the others had heed' elected in
the Lice of a bye law which was made- in 1815, by
which it was made necessary that a party must be put
in nomination thirty days before the time of his Cection.
His answer was, that this bye law was a bad one, as
not being in conformity to the charter.
Lord Teareanast—ls not that a reason why the
matter should be sent to trial ?
Mr. Justice BAILEY—We must see our way very
clearly, before we decide without p.utting the matter on

Mr. TAUNTON.-.But the •Corporation, in this case,
Might cease to exist in the .rucatitime. But Mr. Level,.
iberelator, was notin a condition to insist on this bye-
lair, which had been subirquently rescinded. To be
sure, the rescinding took place when a Mayor pre-
sided, who was subsequently ousted by this Court.—
Lovel had attended the bloatittg, and voted for
the rescinding, and attended ,suaoy meetings where
elections took place without this previous nomina-
tion ; and therefore he was •stopped item saying
that the bye-law was not, properly rescinded.
Besidesohis was a matter that concerned the capital
burgesses ; and Lovel, who had been ousted by this
Conic horn the situation of capital burgess. was now
oniy a common burgess, and therefore a bad relator.
The meeting. too,at which the bywkaw was made,was not
attended:by a competent number of the Council. It was
also sn•unreasenable bye.lara which-required 50thry :pre.
ious nomination, aid contrary to the common Ira. The'
shatter did not require any nomination before election.

Another very material point was, that the election Of
the 16th June took place in .obedience to a peremptory
mandamus of this Court,.cemmandinran election to be
made at sight; and it was impossible that, in this case,
the previous nomination of 30 days should take place.
These had been a previous mandamus to elect, but an
election did nrt take place, in consequence of the ab-
sence of some of the voters. An attachment was applied
for against them, which was suspended till the, return to
the petemptory mandamus which then issued. In obe-
dience to the mandamus these five persons were elected,
and every one of the electors was present and voted.
Lord TBS./UDEN—Was the objection of the want of
the 30 days nomination then made?
Mr. TAUNTON—No one made any objection On that
ground,*and it had been established that, even- when a
bye-law required a previous notice to the electors—a
point on which the law was very inflexible—if the
electors actually attended, the want of notice was
cured; and here all the electors attended, and no ob.
jection was made. Now before that election there were
only six burgesses remaining. whereas these ought to
be nine to make a majority of sixteen; and if the rule
were made absolute there would not be a sufficient
number to act, and there would be an end of the Cor.
potation. The Mayor, Mr. Spencer, sa ore he believed
that Lovel's object was to put an end to it.
Mr. CAMPBELL followed on the same side.
Sir J. Seesat.grr and Mr. SELWYN, in support of the
rule, said that the persons who now opposed it had fixed
the time of the return to the mandamus; and if it was
impossible to comply with the 30 days' nomination
before election, that was their own fault. Besides, they
might have made a special return to the mandamus ou
the authority of a case in Strange, for the mandamus
was not to be obeyed in opposition to the legal usages
of the Corporation, as it was to be presumed that it, was
not intended by the King's writ to violate the law.—
There was no danger of the dissolution of the Corpora.
Lion, which Lovel had no wish to destroy.
Lord TZNTERDIN—Might they not have rescinded
the bye law on the day of the election, when all were
present ? He knew of no rule of law against it.
The COURT took time to consider.

CONSPIRACY--JUDGMENT—RExv.TucRErr AND RATTEN•
The SOLICITOR Getream. moved the judgment of
the Court on the defendants, who had bete convicted
at the Assizes for Devonshire of a conapiracy'to bribe
a revenue officer to allow them to land smuggled spii its
from a French vessel. The trial took place before Mr.
Justice Li!tledale, at Exeter, and the Jury found the
prisoners Guilty, but recommended them to mercy.
The principal evidence against the defendants was the
officer, Peter Payne, who stated that the defendants had
offered him ten tubs of'spirits if he.would allow them to
land a cargo of spirits from a French vessel on a certain
day, and .at a certain time mentioned. He informed the
defendants that they were liable to a penalty of 5001.
for the attempt to bribe. A French vessel appeared on
the coast at the time mentioned by the defendants.
Mr. CHITTY and another Gentleman, for the deters.'
darns, staved that the recommendation of the Jury to
mercy was founded on their not being able to give im•
plicit credit to the story of the officer.
Lord TENTS/WEN—Then the Jut y ought to have ac-
quitted them.
The SoLiciroa GENERAL—There coulcibe no reason-
able doubt of the truth of the officer's.story. The reason
of the Jury's doubt, it they had any, was that the officer
did not precisely recollect the day when the bribe was
offered him, which .was no reason at ail. •.
Three Clergymen and a Captain in the Navy gave
Tuckett a good character.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the judgment of the
Court. The evidence was sufficient, as the testimony
of the officer was corroborated by circumstances. This
was a very heavy offence—attempting to bribe a man
to act in direct violation of his duty, by suffering smug-
gling to be carried on, when his employment was to
prevent it. Tuckett had received a good character, but
the Court must take care to show those who had a good
character that it was their interest to preserve it, and
for this purpose to inflict an adequate punishment. Be-
sides, it appealed that Tuckett was the principal agent
in the conspiracy. Sentence—That Tuckett' be impti.
soned for six months in Escer gaol,' and Reties la
three months in the same place.
Aaron Smith was brought up by Habeas corpus to
be bailed. It appeared, on the reading of the depo-
sitions, that Smith was active on board a pirate (or sup-
posed). ship, which had plundered. a vessel called cue
Pievoyant, on her voyage from Antwerp to the Nacio-
nal).
.The transaction took place some time ago, but
Smith had been absent, in the courseof his employment
as a sailor, till now; but it was not pretended that he
had absconded, and the ground of his application ta be
admitted to bail was, that he had been t.sketi by the
pirate, or supposed pirate, from an English vessel, and
compelled to serve on board the pirate ship.
Lord TENTERDEN asked whether there' was any ob-
jection to this on the part of Government ?
The Souciron GENERAL left it to the discretion of
the Court.
Smith was then bound over in 5001. to appear to
take his trial at the Admiralty Sessions, and four bail
in 1001.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Mat so.
IMPORTANT DICISION.
A case came before the Court this morning, upon
the construction f the Stamp Act, relative to promis-
sory•notes. Tire Act sap, that promissory notes or
bills of exchange, payable to the bearer on demand,
shall pay a certain duty ; and that promissory notes or
bills of exchange, payable in any other manner than to
the bearer on demand, but not exceeding two months
after date, or sixty slats alter sight, shall pay a different
duty." In this case the note was made payable to a
particular party or order, on demand; and the question
before the Court was, under which of the two heads this
note came? The Court, after taking some little time to
peruse that part of the Act, decided that it cpme.under
the description of a note payable otherwise than to the
heater on demand.
