‘SINOSIFORD V. BROWN AND OTHER,.

. .
Mr. BOLLAND (raved fot a rule to thew cause why
a ctiatin.d informition should not be filed against the
defensimts, Messrs. Brown, Warren, and Cnuty, who
were Magistrates of dr* city of Canteibury. The mo-
tion nos founded upon affidavits made by the plaintit
and his attorney, Mr. Sands, which set forth that a rate
had been made by order of the Magistrates in the city
of Canteibery, in which rate was. included certain pro.
perty belonging to Mr. Kingsford. This property, Mr.
Kingsford contended, was in i precinct called Black-
• friarscunder the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Can-
twbury, and eztra.parochial. On the 30,h of July,
Mr. Kingsford received a summons, signed by Messrs.
Brown, Warren, and Couty, calling on him to appear
lb: ere them on the ad of August, to shew cause why
he refused to pay the rate. Mr. Kingsford accord.
ingly attended on the day specified, with his attorney,
at Guildhall. On that occasion not one of the Ma
gistrates, whose names were attached to the summons
. was present. The Mayor and other Magistrates were,
Irdwerer, there, and the case was entered upon, and the
. farther consideration of it postponed till the 9th of Au-
gust. On that day he again attended, and after another
heariag, the matter was once more postponed till the
30th of August. On the 30th of August the plaintiff
. went to the Guildhall, where he fouid that there were
. no.aNlagistrates in attendance. and was informed by the
. clerk to the Magistrates that there would be no meeting
, that day. He heard nothing further on the snbject tilt
the 22c1 of September, when a wassant of distress was
is,ned against him, under which his carriage was seized
and detained until he paid the rate and expenses, which
. amounted to 21 His. The distress-warrant was signed
br the 'eeferidanty. •

- Mr. Justice Bavtint—What motive do you impute
to the .defendants ?

Mr. BOLLAND said, he hardly knew what, motive
could be imputed to them. It was certain that the im-
position of the rate had excited much angry feeling in
C nterbory.
Lord TEN TERDIIN thought there must be some mis-
take in the business. .

Mr. Justice BATLEY Said, the Court was not in the
habit of granting intormation% where no corrupt motive,
were imputed. The tmellne.s of the sum showed that

thet e most be some mistake in the matter. 7 Rule refused.
