Ausnrry r. GIBTION.

This was a similar application by the same plaintiff
against a tipstaff of the King's Bench prison. The
charge was, that Gibbon had taken (for removal by
Corpws to the King's Bench pistil)) a fee of
teasbillioge and oisponce; he Wag only entitled,,
according to the table of fees hung np in that prison,
to charge six shillings. The defendant stated that the
fee of ten and sixpence had been taken by himself and
his predecessors in office, for more than 25 years.
The Cot.RT, not having before it upon affidavit the
table of fees relied on by the plaintiff, ordered that
the matter should stand over till the next term.

Mr. SCARLE I T request•d time, in this case, to an-
swer the affidavits tiled by the plaintiff. The fact
was, that Mr. Martin having borrowed 6,000!. five
years since (and never paid a shilling either of hue-
rest or priocipal), suddenly discovered that he had
been cheated of 8001. out of it ; but against a rule of
only twenty hours' old the parties were not prepared
to show cause.

Mr. NOLAN.—That is a cent way fur the Learned
tientleman's clients to get over an indic.tosat for a
conspiracy, which they richly deserve; but if the
case stands over, 1 trust we shall have leave to file ad-
ditional affidavits.
The COURT' decided that range should be shown
nest Term: the plaintiffs being at liberty to til' atli•
davits within a week.

COURT OF OF EXCHEQUER.--J 1 it 11.

'MC KING r. WANT.

Our readers will recollect, that the defendant in this
case was found guilty at the Middlesex Sessions, with
a person of the name of Wilmot, for conspiring to ac-
cuse before a Magistrate and to prosecute Elis. Gaze,
on a charge of felony.
The defendant haring given bail to take lois trial,
and not having come in, his recognizance was returned
in the Court of Exchequer to be entreated, aod Mr.
Curwcmd, on the part of the bail, had since the trial
obtained a Rule to show cause why the recognisance,
should not be discharged.
Mr. Anot.ritcs, on the part of the Crown, now
shewed cause against the hale.
It appeared from the statements of Counsel, that the
defendant had given thirty-seven notices of bail, and
fourteen notices of trial, and that he did not come in;
but the other conspirator, Wilmot, haring been in
dieted for perjury committed by him as part of the con-
spiracy, Want gave evidence for him on his trial, and
was then taken in custody.
Mr. CuawooD and Mr. ANDREWS ROW argued, that
as the prisoner had been tried, and found Ouilty, the
ends of justice were not defeated. An eidavit_ was
put in from the defendant's Attorney, stating, that
Counsel bad advised, that the defendant should not
coma in to take his trial until after the other conspira-
tor should be tried for the perjury.
Mr-Am:menus said, that although the ends of jus-
tice had not been finally defeated, the cost of the pro-
ceedings on the part of the prosecution for twelve
months that the defendant had delayed justice had
amounted to 7001.
The Cxtar BARON said, a defendant, who had acted
like the preseet, bad no claim for any favour from the
Court. It was very evident be bad done every thing
in his power to delay justice, and he must take the
consequence. His Lordship said, he was quite certain
the defendant's Counsel had given him the hest advice;
bat be supposed that by delaying, he might ultimately
defentjustice. His; there could bo no reason that the
Court should assist hint in his attempts.

AN,

Barons ORANAII and °miaow agreed in this deter-
mination. Rale discharged. The aneoent of the bail
entreated is 5001.
