TOE KING V. TILE MAYOR. AND COZPORATIO.N OF
PLYMOUTH.

the ATTORNEY-GENERAL sheaved cause against
- 'thiirule Nisi upon the motion of Mr. Serjeant Lens
'FOrn Mandamus, commanding the Corporation of
• *lblimouth to proceed to a new election of Mayor.-'....
The Chatier-of this Corporation depended upon the
Mayces-being elected on a certain day ; and on that
day, in thii year, the candidate who bad obtained 68
votes,against him who had polled only 58, ought to
brie hien'sworn in ; but upon his tendering himself
'for that piirivie, he was asked whether he had recti.
red the Batrathent within 11 months? and upon his
refusing•to answer the question, was in turn, refused
to be -sworn. It had. certainly been held, that in
eases *here the electors knew of the'candiClate's
quilifitation., on this ground, their votes for him
Were throWn away ; and the second on the poll Was
duly elected but all those were cases of Aldermen
Or capital Burgesses, who might be elected,on a sub.
aequeilfday. In this case, unless the Mayor was
elected on the day prescribed, the Corporation was
dissolved.—ln the case of Taylor v. the Mayor of
Bath, which was not the election of a Mayor, but of
an Officer:who might have been elected at any fu.
• tore day, the question was, whether the electors were
cogniamt of the disqualification ; and the verdict was
obtained, and confirmed by the Court, on theground
that they were so. The Court must look atthis case
as if the Statute of Gee. I. had not varied ; .anct'see

the duty and interest of the elector's to look to the
qualifications of the electors, by declaring, 'that if.
thty were found to be disqualified, the'next candi-
date should be duly elected, and not that the*Cciipo-
ration should be void, which would be tocihard a
stretch of justice. If this question had come beftne

statute, the Attorney-General had not a doubt but

cognizance of the defendant to receive judgment till taken into custody. He was remanded until the
the parties could agree upon the price at which the owner could-arrive.
Commissioners would buy the building.
Mr. Serjeant BEST intimated, that the defendant
wanted to charge them with an expensive building.
Mr. GARROW said, that the defendant was ready
to leave it to any person whom they themselves
should name to settle the value of the building, whe-
ther it should be R3OO, which had been offered, but
which was nothing like its value, or £BOO.
After much discussion, it was at length agreed,
that the recognizance should be enlarged till next
Term, upon an undertaking' to restore the road by
removing the nuisance, in the hope that the parties
might come to terms.
Lord ELLENBOROVGII was of opinion, that the mi-
natory part of the rule ought to be inserted, other-
wise the Court would have to discuss the subject over
and over again. It would, doubtless, have its effect.
If the Commissioners had a perverse feeling, the
Court could not help it. Mr. GARROW was afraid
that the Rule of Court would overpower his Lord-
ship's suggestion at the trial.
THE KING V. POTTINGER AND HOGHURST.
Mr. JEKYLL prayed the judgment of the Court
upon these defendants, found Guilty at the last Win-
chester Assizes, before Mr. Baron Graham, upon an
information against them, and one Ford, for a con-
spiracy to defraud his Majesty's Barrack Depart.
ment, by false entries and representations of repairs
for that department, the defendant Pottinger having
been clerk of the.ivorks. This defendant, who alone
appeared, was remanded to the custody of the Mar-
shalsea, to receive judgment on 'the last day of Term.
THE KING V. APPLEBY.
Mr. GURNEY prayed the judgment of the Court
against this defendant, upon a criminal information
for using language to provoke a challenge ; when the
ATTORNEY GENERAL, for the prosecution, consented
to discharge the defendant upon his recognizance.
HABEAS CORPUS.
Mr. EICARLETT moved for a habeas corpus, to bring-
up from Lancaster gaol, a gentleman of the name of
Deers, who had been committed fora rape upon the body '
of Elizabety Stowell. It appeared by affidavits, that,
theprosecturix was the daughter of the landlady of tke
house in which Mr. Dears lodged at Liverpool ; and
that upon his quitting those lodgings for a house, the
prosecutrix came to live with him as a servant, when he
had connection. with her with her own consent. She
quitted his service, as she said to go to Ireland, on the
10th of October; and on the l'ith Mr. Dears was ap-
prehended on the charge which he was alleged to have
incurred on the 10th, although the information was
only laid on the 16th. Till he was apprehended Mr.
Dears had not any suspicion of the charge; and there
were affidavits as to the prosecutrix's loose character.
The Court granted a certiorari to bring the infor-
mation into Court. Upon the Court asking why the
application was not made before Mr. SCARLETT? re-
plied, that he had the instructions ever since the se-
cond day of the Term, but was prevented from using
then; by the press of business.

FOLIOS.

Boxtwo.—Docherty and Bur'n are matched to fight
on Monday, the 2d of December, within a short
distance of Chichester.
Amongst the crew of the Milan French privateer,
lately captured by the Naiad frigate, and who were
put on board the Raison.tble, previous to their being
transmitted to the prison ships at Gillingham, one
of them, though partially disguised by an immense
pair of whiskers and ear-rings, was recognized by
two of the detachment serving on board, to be an old
shipmate and fellow-soldier, tour years before, in the
Leopard. This the accused positively denied ; when.
one of his accusers thought it impossible he could be
mistaken in the man, for the reasons he then assigned :
" I remember," said he," I once had a bit of a quar-
rel with that man, Francis Krentze, and we agreed to
fight it out, and stripped for that purpose, when I ob-
served the WOllll Leopard tattooed on his left arm, and
I remarked to my messmate, John Bullock, that I was
going to have a slap at the Leopard 50." After some
resistance, this Kreutze was stripped, when the identi-
, cal word was displayed, as described. The circum-
stance has been investigated, and it appears that
Francis Kreutze served tour years as private marine
on board the Leopard,from whence he was discharged
to head-quarters, she having been paid off. In con-
sequence of his good character from that ship, he was
promoted to be a corporal, and again embarked in
Ithe Forward gun-brig, Lieutenant Banks, from whch
vessel he deserted, and entered the French service.—
The men who identified him, have been ordered round
to the Downs, to give testimony at the Court-martial
ordered to take place on him.
Tuesday Mr. Northcott, one of the writing mas-
ters at the Naval Academy, Gosport, went to see
some friends belonging to the North Devon Militia,
at Fort Monckton, and left them soon after - eight
o'clock to proceed to Gosport, when it appears he
met with a drummer belongine to the same regi-
ment, of the name of Chamberlayne, who was re-
turning to the Barracks, and requested that he would
shew him the way to the ferry, as it was dark; which
he undertook to do, but, froth the drummer's account
it appears they both mistook their road--went along
the snore towards Blockhouse Fort, where the drum-
mer says he left Mr. N. and returned to his barracks.
Mr. Northcott has not since been heard of, although
every inquiry has been .made, the lake dragged, and
hand-bills distributed, offering a reward for discove-
ring the body.

some butchers having driven an ox to the entrance oil

came desperate, and made his escape, in spite of every
