ZX PARTS TATMAN.
Our readers will remember that, a few days back,
Mr. Tatman. an attorney, applied to the Court for a
ru'e, c ling N pon Sir Henry Warm to show cause why
the consent he had given to an arbitration should not
be made a rule of Court. The dispute was concerning
the amount of Mr. Tattnin's bill upon Sir Henry for
having conducted the election at East Retford. A deed
containing the terms of the arbination had been drawn
,up, but, as Sr Henry had not signed it, the Court re-
fused to 'pint the rule.
Mr. Doimas now again appeared on the part of Mr..
Taman to have the arbitration made a rule of Coml.
Since the former application Sir H. Wilson had pro..,
noised to agree to refer the matter to an arbitrator, but
he had since gone out of town without taking any fur-'
they steps. Mr. Denman submitted that, under the Act
• of Parliament. when it could be made out that the party
had submitted to a reference, the Court was authorised
in making that submission a rule of Court.—ltule

THE KING V. SIMMONS, CLERIC.

Mr. C#MPRILL this morning sowed cause against al
rule i.btained by Sir J. 4:Klett, for a criminal informa.
ti' % against the Rev. Mr. Simmons' a Clergyman of the
City of Herefo:d, for insulting the Mayor of that City
in the discharge of, his duty.
. Lord TANTICROIN said let the rule be dischargel—
This is not a eine in which it is proper for this Court to
i!.t item

Iltrx c ICNIOUT (CLERK).
Mr. BROUGIIIAg ID tired that the rule in this case
should he Wade absolute.
Sir JAMES Scamt.trt showed cause against the rule.
The defendant, in his own affidavit. denied the rtit
material facts mentioned in the affi.favits fur the role;

' and his denial was corroborated by Mr. Palmer, another
...Magistrate, and his account of the transaction was this;
The defendant, as their .L.rsiships had beard lam:,
was a Clergyman and a Magistrate s.f the county of
Word, and the principal charge against him was, that
he had. out of resentment against a .ML s. Higgs, re-
. fused to grant a license to her htiahands who kept a
public house in a small village pair Oxford, the name
of which be had forgot, nor was it of, any consequence.
Ai the defendant' was passing through 'this pillage
. shout nine us..loCk at night, on some evening in June
or July last, he heard a noise in the street—the back.
. log of dogs, and the cries of a child. .On advancing to
the spot he saw two drunken Seep setting the dogs st•
• the child, and some people who died theme on theM.i
He sate the'drunkin roan go into Higges house, 'and
foll Owed them into the house, and found that Higgs
was one of the .drunken men. When he entered the
honse, he found Priest. a constable, there, and desired
him to• turn the drunken men out of the hotaie.
Priest refused, and then the men began to insult
him, and said, !. Come and drink some beer with us,
Parson, and we will come and take a cop with
you." The defendant then went out of the house
to procure some other constables, and on returning with
two men. be found the door shot, and pushed it open,
and in doing so, he believed that Mrs. Higgs was
thwwn down. • A permit if the name of Savege, a son
of Mr's. Higgs. but not of Mr. Higgs, then assaulted
I im. and gave him several brutal blows, by which his
rose was bruised and his face disfigured, while he was
iriteol by the two drunken Men. Now, though it Might
yl thought that the defendant had actediather hastily
is the first instance, yet there Was no reason to suppose
that he acted corruptly, or. contrary to What he be•
lieved to be his duty: •He laid the conduct of Priest,
. tfie couitable; befote the nigiatrates, and he was fined.
When he went out of Eliggs'sliouse, Mrs. Higgs charged
him with having assaulted her, and then he admitted
that be might have said that she was a lying b—. When.
on the 221 of Sept. Higgs applied to the Magistrates
, • for a licenie, the defendant, as he Conceived it nil duty,
mentioned the circumstances to the Magistrates, and,
as it appeared that Higgs fomented disorder iu hi,
house, and was himself givers to intoxication, the
Magistrates thought proper to rein e 'tte
Stilt the defendant stated he timself'did n4.uote
in the matter, and' hid toed no undue ihilueuse
whatever to bias the judgment of the Magistrates.A
Mr. Martel, litho was tfie-landlotd of • triggs'ihouse,
had written to 'the defendant !pint the tefilail of thr
license. and .strid that if Higgs and tip wife bad done
wrong be would get them to make as apology. The
defendant wrote to Mr. Murrel on the 26th of Sittern-
bet, bit. did not say in that letter tbat '9O Higgs and
hss Wife initial an apology he would get their license
Orel to teem, bet merely, that if they came to hilt
he would bear what they had to say ;' and in pOint of
fact. the Magistrates had resolved, kit tie prof Sep-
tember, to tefine the lieenie to fligge,thotigh that was
. .ret fotnially communicated to hint till the edit:weed
meeting of the bastion on the 20th. The defendinC
nod mention to Muriel, in his letter, that Savlige,.4o.
had assaulted bitec' and Neat, the constable, were to
conviciest nem day for stealing a gate, and they
were ensivicteste. :bit the object or that watt, to show
