RIGHT OF JEWS TO SIT IN PARLIAMENT.-
IMPORTANT DECISION.

COURT _OF EXCHEQUER.—MONDAY.
MILLED. 2. SALOMONS.
Judgment was given in this case to-day. It was an
action to recover penalties from Alderman Salomons for
having sat and voted in the House of Commons without
having taken the required oaths.
Baron MARTIN was of opinion, that as the oath as
taken by the defendant was the form most binding on his
conscience, that was the mode in which he most con-
formed with the law ; and he was, therefore, of opinion
that judgment ought to be entered for the defendant.
Baron ALDERSON differed from Baron Martin, and was
of opinion that judgment should be entered for the
plaintiff until the form was altered.
Baron PARKE thought judgment should be for the
plaintiff.
The LORD CHIEF BARON said it could not be doubted
that the oath must be taken in the very:form and words
prescribed by the act, and judgment must therefore go to
the plaintiff.
Judgment for the plaintiff acco dingly.
