COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JANUARY 27.

SHERIFF PARKINS C. THE CORPORATION OF LONDON.
• Mr. PARKINS, the late Sheriff, moved for a Rule
to shew cause why he should not be allowed to ap-
point his own Secondary, to lender an account of all
monies received. by him as Sheriff of London.
The CIIIEF BARON remarked to Mr. Parkins, that
he had not stated whether by law, or usage, he was
entitled to appoint a Secondary.
Mr. Baron 'Noon ,inquired whether Mr. Parkins,
had any account to render?
Mr. PARKINS expressed his surprise that such a
question should be asked after an oath had been ad-
ministered to him to render in a true account ;
also said he derived the right of appointing a Secon-
dary under Charter from the King of England, and
that wiles,: he were allowed to exercise it, he could
riot, as the King's Representative, render justice to
his Majesty's subjects.
Mr. Baron GARROW said, that although Mr. Par-
kins had been sworn to render an account, yet it
might possibly be a true answer that he had not any
money w account for. At all events, be had not
!rated any ground for granting the Rule, as, if he
were entitled by law to appoint the Secondary, he
could not Want the interference of the Court, to whom
it would be full time to apply if the officer to be ap-
pointed should be obstructed in the execution of his
aice.—The other Barons concurred in this.opidhs,
and the Rule was refused. . _

Mr. PARKINS was about to reply, when he was in-
formed by the Court that his cause was disposed of.
" Then, my Lords," - said he, " you sicall hear of it
another d.ty." lie left the Court much dissatisfied.
