DOZ. OgDr. CARTNILWR V. PRIOITOW.
The SoLtcrross Guitar. Begged to call the, atten-
tion of the Court to the cause in which the Attorney
General, on the part of his Majessy, had obtained a rule
for a trial at bar which was fixed to' take place on the
18th of the present month. He had new to inform the
Court. that on a further investigation, of the facts of this
case since the trial of the cause of Rowe v. Brenton, in
which the main question involved in this case had *gen
decided, his Majesty'. Law Officers had ascertained that
this case was likely to be disposed of on grounds cella
Oral to the interests of the Crown. and they had there.
fore advised his Majesty to withdraw his appearance in
the cause, and leave the matter to be contested by the
par tiia who had a .direct intere.t in it. He (the Solicitor.
General) had thought it right to snake this communica-
tion to the Court. in order that their Lordships might
give such directions as they thought.proper.
,Mr. DANPIRR, in the absence of Sir.J Scarlett, who
appeared for a body of persons (the adveotuters) who
were not yet before the Court, but who intended to take
up the cause and to carry on the mother prosecution of
h. wished to know what process it would be necessary
for them to obtain in ,conssquence of the abandonment
of the cause on the part of Crown?
The Court sugeested that the matter had better be
mentioned when Sir James Scatlett and Mr. Brougham
came into Court. Those Learned Counsel took their
seats soon afterwards. and
Lad Tasscannes then stated the substance of the,l
communication made ,by the Solicitor-General, and
observed. that the rule for the trial at bar had been ob-
tained on the application of the Attorney-General, and'
on a suggestion by him that the Crown had an interest
in the cause; but as his Majesty no longer appeared to,
contest the matter, the rule for the trial at bar must be
dischareed.

Mr. BROUGHAM hoped that as his client had, by the
course of proceeding adopted on the part of the Crown,
loSt'the benefit of a trial at the 1114 Assizes, the Court
would order, in the event of his obtaining a verdict 'at
the next Assizes. that be should have judgment as of
the preceding Term.
Lord TRIITIURDSNOImervede that the Court could not
impose those terms on the defendaut. Tbe ground for the
trial at bar having failed, the rule must be discharged.
Mr. Bacrwascat said, that as the Attorney General,
on applying hir the rule, had undertaken that the pa&
ties should be allowed their costs of bringing the wit-
nesses from Cornwall to London (which they had done
last Tarns at a Wry great expense). he hoped the Coast
would order those costs to be paid.
The SOLICITOR Gunnar. had no recollection of any
arrangement or understating on the subject of cosy
and he doubted whether y costs in respect of wit.
mains bad been incurred in this cause. The numerous
witnesses who bad been brought to London attended in
the cause of Rowe,. Brenton.
After some desultory observations,
Lord Timmins* said the Court could give no dint.
lions on the subject of costs; but he bad no doubt that
th• parties would find that what was list and roper
would be done in the mitten.
.The. rule for the trial at bar was then discharged.

Mr..Castraata motes for ti rule to show cause why
a criminal' infottaitiOn should not be filed against
a Gentleman of the name of Kelly, a Magistrate of
the county of Gloucester. He made the applice-
, eon on the -part of Mr. Saunders, a respectable at.
twisty in Gloneettershire and his complaint against
Mr, Kelly will.. that he; acting in his magisterial tapas
city. bad illegally And oppressively convicted Mr. S
den of as alleged offence under the game laws. .1 he
facts of thecae were these-00 the 31. t of December
lest an infoimation was lodged before Mr. Kelly. by
the gamekeeper of the Duke of Beaufort. charging
IsTr. &wadi rs. that he, being an unqualified person. had,
on the iSth cSOet. last, taken out a greyhound,fot the
purpose of destrosing game. A summons was 11011014•

before Mr. Kelly,* answer this complaint, on the Id
of Jai. Mr, SseuJers obeyed the summons, and the
hearing of the case was then appointed for the 16th of,
Jan. Mr. Saunders's defence was. that he was duly
qualified, beelagin tisane at his awn of sufficient waits.

Mr. snide* !whim attended ;

and, without attempting to deny that he bad taken out
the greyhound on the day in question, be at once Rio.
duced his deeds of conveyance. showing that be was
possessed of a sufficient estate to qualify him to sport
and his clerk. and a land.surtreyor whom he had em-
ployed for the purpose. gave evidence beton the magis-
trate that they had gone over the land. and had requested
'Mrs. Higgs, one of the tenants, to attend at the hearing
of the case. Mr. Kelly then inquired whether the
tenants were present: and being shown the letter from
the surgeon, be stated that he was not satisfied with the
muse given. Mr. Saunders then requested that the
matter might be adjourned until the following Monday.
and promised to pay the caper's's, whether the decision
should be in his favour or against him. Mr. Kelly ob.
jetted to this. and said he thought it was the height of
impertinence in Mr. Saunders to ask f r an adjournment;
that Mr. Saunders bad had ample time to bring forward
his witnesses, and that he should not adourn, unless
the other Magistrates entertained a different opinion
from himself. The land.sutveyor then put in a specifics.
tion of Mr. Saunders', land. which, it appeared, was of
the clear yearly value of Ha and Mr. Saunders again
pressed for an adjournment. observing that the party
who hid laid the information could not by possibility
be prejudiced by a short delay. To this. however, Mr.
Kelly replied, that he did not see why the informer
should be dragged out of his business to attend again
upon this complaint; and then, after turning round to
his brother Magistrates, addressed Mr. Saunders, and
said, "We convict y. uin the penalty of 51." In addi•
tion to these circumstances. he (Mr. Campbell) ought
to state to the Court, that the person who officiated as
4 rk to the Magistrates upon this occasion was a Mr.
Dowding. who held a situation in the establishment of
the Duke of Beaufort. by whose gamekeeper the infor-
mation against Mr. Saunders bad beers lodged. After
the meeting on the Bd of January. Mr. Dowding and the
Magistrate, Mr. Kelly, retired into a private room and
held a conference. The only objection made by Mr Kelly
at the hearing on the 16th was, that Mr. Saunders had
not produced the witnesses to prove that he was in re-
ceipt of the rents of the estate ; and as be had, he con-
ceived. sitistactotily accounted for their absence, and
produced his deeds of conveyance, the matter ought at
least to have'been adjourned to give him an opportunity
of bringing forward the witnesses at the time he pro-
•
pissed. The tefusal to adjourn clearly showed that Mr.
Kelly had been actuated by corrupt motives, and be
( r. Campbell)
' trusted that the Court would. now call
‘i
upon him to explain his. conduct.
Lord Timmons' observed, that the case was a very
,light one. There bad been no positive proof before
tbe.Magisti ate of qualification, and a rule for a crimi-
' Wal information could only be supported on its being
dude to appear that the refusal to alourn arose from
dishonest motives. The Court would. boa ever, grant
ai rule to show caose.—Rule Nisi granted.

.1 attics e. CATTL& AID MUSA?
* ; Mr, Sergeant mutt moved for a yule to show cause
filthy the nonsuit entered in this case should not be set
-
riside:and a new verdict entered for the plaintiff, for
135.1 damages.
It was an action on the case tried before Mr. Justice
Bayley at the last York Assign, in Which the plaintiff
sought to recover the value of a travelling bag and its
contents. which was alleged to have been lost through
the negligence of the defendants. It appestat' upon
the trial that the defendants were proprietors of a coach
running from Stockton to Yolk. The plaintiff resided
at Stockton, and having occasion logo to London, tra-
velled as far as York by the defendant's coach. When be
mita ed the coach at Stockton, he delivered to the coach-
men a bag, containing, besides wearing apparel of about
the valie of 1.51. a Bank of England Rote for 501. The
coachman pl.ced the bag in the Iront boot, and it was
supposed to arrive safely at York. The plaintiff. on
the arrival of the coach at York, stated that be
was about to proceed to London by the Express
coach, and without inquiring after his bag he went to
the Swan Inn, to secure a place for that purpose. Hay-
ing done so, be sent to the tavern where the Slocktoo
coach stopped for his luggage ; but the bag was net
to be found. It was proved, that when the bag was pot
into the coach. it had a label, marked " T. Miles, pas-
senger." The fifty pound note was one which bad
been intrusted to him by a Mr. Tarburt, of Stockton,
to be paid into the Court of King's Bench in Lon-
don. in an action in which Mr. Tarbutt was em.
ployed as an attdrney ; and there were several law
papers connected with the cause along with it. For
the defendant it was. contended, that the plaintiff
could not maintain an action for the 501. as it was nut
his own property; and evidence was then offered to
show that the plaintiff was intoxicated when he got into
the coach, and that upon his arrival at York he did not
call the attention of the coach people to his bag Until an
hour and a half afterwards; and therefore it was in-
sisted that the plaintiff's loss had been occasioned by his
own negligence, and not by any default on the part of
the defendants or their servants. Mr. Justice Bayley
expressed an 'opinion that it was the duty of the
plaintiff to look after his luggage on the arrival of
the coach ; and not having done so, the loss was oc-
casioned by his own negligence, and he could not,
therefore. maintain an action against the coach pioprie-
tors. His Lordship therefore nonsuited the plaintiff,
will' liberty to move to set aside the nonsuit, and enter
a verdict for the plaintiff for 661. if the Court should be
of opinion that he could maintain an action for the 'SOL
note ; and if not, for 151. the value of the other contents
of the beg. The Learned Sergeant upon these facts
contended that the Learned Judge had been mistaken
in point of law. and that the plaintiff was entitled to a
verdict.—The COURT granted a rule to show cause.
