PU I LLI PS v.

Mr. Conform mooed that the 111,1.'64141s upon the
bail.botid in this case n.icht he stayed, sprit Pay-
merit of the costs against the bail. It appeared that
the Defetidact was attested oven a bill of Middtes•s,
which was returnable est i.e brst day of laq Term.
flail was given to the Sitesiti, and the Plaintiff deli.
tiered a declaration ; but tl.e bails ribose were op.
posed, end dill not justify. Th. Plaintiff then took
an aysignmeat of the hail-hood, and issued writs
egainst she bail, which were returnable on the lest
day of she Testa.. A few days previous to the pre.
sent Teens, the Defendant, then its the Rules of the
Becch upon another action. came to the chamber of
she Chief Justice epos a Habeas Corpus, and ren-
dered in discharge of the hail. N.tice was given Ito
the Plaintiff's attorney, and • remotions was taken
est to show cause why the proceedings ow the bond
should not be stayed. On the first day of Term the
otternies attended before Mr.Juslica Ifolrort, at
his chambers, who held, that as the Plaintiff had
loaf a trial, t►e bead must stand as a security for the
debt. Mr. Corny... now urged, that the Plaintiff
had the body of the Defendant. which was all that
he was originally entitled to. It was true, that 111
trial bad been lost, as the Plaintiff had &Edam!
against the Defendant in time to have the ease Wed
at the Sittig*, after last Term; bet ev►n if the Plain-
tiff had ~covered jeldgment, he could •illy have
taken the Defendant in tin,,, sad, therefore,
he coe.d not be injured if the hail were sow released.
The whet. of their delivered their opi-
nion, that the motion could net be granted. The
Plaintiff had " lost • trial ;" and although the De-
fendant was now custody, and bad rendered its dia.
charge of his bail, yet, as Lis body was not 'wren-
deceit in tint., the heil.butsd must stand as security
for the debt.

In Michaels's, Term last, Mr. Scarlet, obtained a
rule, tolling epos the Defendants to show cause,
why a criminal information 'humid not be filed easiest
them, the one u the principal and the other as the
second, for challeugieg a Gentleman named Ploy''',
to fight a duel. On that occasion we entered into a
detail of ths circuespissices of CIO caw, hut of which,
for die perp•s• of refreshing the recollection of our
feeders, the following ',seine will be sufficient :
Prier to the late General Election, Sir Robert Peel
offered himself as • Candidate for the Borough of
Tameorth, which, until the death of the lots Mar-
quis of Townsbend, had been represented by a
blanch of that Nobleman's fast!). On the death
of that \Altman, his esecutora disposed of his pro-
perty sod interest its the neighbourhood of the Bo-
rough, bet at this lese Genetal Election, Lord Cbos.
Tewnshend presented himself as a Candidate in op-
position to Iles present 31ember. Shortly before the
Election, Mr. Flier, the Prosecutor, published se
sinotsymoes baud bill, ',fleeting upon the conduct of
Sir Battier( Peel, generally imputing to his the for.
loiters of a pledge which he was statued to bass made,'
newer to oppose the interests of the Towssliend fa.l
wily le Ilse representation of the Borough. In • few i
days afterwards, lie published • second hared-bill, ad- I
dressed to the Electorr, subscribed by his own name,
span the same subject. The seers• animadrertions
epee the 'character and conduct of Sir Robert Peel iu
this publication, induced Mr. William Peel, the De-
fendant, to call upon him for Ms •11•11/114/i011 of his
conduct, and in the Inuit the latter challenged t►e,
Prosecett.r to fight a duet, but which was refused se
the ground that Sy Robert feel alone was the person .
who warentille4l to make such a call; it was, how.
ever, at the VITO time said by the Prosecutor, that
if the Derendeni could amigo Furl-talent , Le bad!
coo OtiOVIIOn to give Lim the meeti•sg. This transac-
tion occurred on the 2.M of June. 1818, and there
the matter re-ted for that time, sn far as the Defend-
ant 111.11 concerned : but the latter was farther in.
formed by the. Prosecutor, Ott the whole transac-
tion should be laid before t!.e Court of King's artirh.
It appeared, that on the 1.;.h 01 July following, thel
