Mr. Justice BAILEY said, in addition '
to the ruler
moved for by the Learned Countel, let him take a
rule calling on the Attorney in this cose to answer
the matters of the affidavit. Let him show why such
a pioposal, as had been stated, nitinely, that all
which he could obtain from Dewes above 301. should,
be his own, had come from him. ft was bat right'
that he should be called on to answer why. he had
been guilty of such an abuse of his professional
duty.

Rule to show cause granted.
The Court, at its rising, was adjourned
.by the
Usher till Friday, all manlier of persons Wing de-
Wed to take their• ease on the morrow of the Pori&
cation of the Blessed Virgin.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FU.I.
TILE 111110 V. DiTIS.
The Defendant had incurred an atbichusent for a
contempt of the Court, by not answeritag the matter of
certain affidavits, though notice had hpen left at the
place, which, at the warrant of attotifiy office, was
stated to have been his residence. A.ride hill been
obtained to show cause, why the attacbmenihhoold
not be set aside, as the notice had not been served at
his actual place of residence.
Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, on behalf of the party
by whom the attachment had been sued out, did not
object to the making the Rule absolute, but urged
that the costs should be paid by the applicant, on the
ground, that his Client had been strictly regular
since he made affidavit that he had searched the war-
rant of attorney office, and had served the notice at
the place there specified as the Defendant's residence.
The neglect lying with the Defendant in not having
altered the specification of his place of residence at
the warrant of attorney office, it wail jest that he
should bear the whole of the expetibes incurred by
the application for the favour of the Court.
Mr. Serjeant (balm* contended that the party.
which had sued out the Rule, had not been strictly
regular, since there was no affidavit on his part, nor
could he venture to swear that he really supposed
that the place where they had left the notice, was
the actual place of residence of the Defendant. The
place of abode was correctly stated in the King's
Bench Office, if the Plaintiff had Chose to enquire
there. He also urged, that to bring a party into
contempt in a case so highly penal—for his Client
had lain in prison nine months---a personal serving of
the notice was necessary.
The CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that the natural
place to search for the residence of an attorney, *as
in the Certificate Office, since it was known that the
c rtificates were annually renewed. Since a search
had not been made there, and as it was not sworn
that the party suing out the attachment, believed the
place where the notice was left to be the real place of
residence of the Defendant, Mr. Davis should not •
be compelled-to pay the costs of the application.
Rule made absolute.
