LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KINGS BENCH. Fan. 9.

A Court of Cqmmon Council was held yesterday
at Guildhall. which was numerously attended.

HABEAS CORPUS.

The Irish Society were appointed for the year en.
suing, of which Mr. Alderman Combe was continued
Go‘ernor.

Mr. LAWS applied to the Court for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus, to bring up the body of a man,
named John Whitford, now a prisoner in the gaol'
of Winchester. The Prisoner, it was, staled, had
been convicted of poaching, for which offence he
was liable, under the 39th of the King, to be com-
mitted to the House of Correction, and to hard
labour for six months ; or the agistrate might
send the offender to serve his Majesty in the army
or navy, as he may please to determine.—The
scene of the Prisoner's offence was the manor of the
Rev. Mr. Tarrett. This gentleman was a Magis-
trate of OP county, and was one of those who pre-
sided on the 10th of February last, when the De-
fendant was committed. He also sat on the Bench
;at the Sessions, in the April following, when the
Defendant was convicted, and remanded till the
Midsummer Sessions following. He remained in
prison until September, when, without any fresh pro-
! ceding being had against him, he was ordered to be
put on board the Dido prison-ship. lie continued
on board this vessel tilt November, when he was
arrested for debt, and conveyed, under civil process,
to the Gaol of Winchester. Upon application to the
C.aoler.to produce the warrant under which he was
•
detained,
he oat only producted that, but a letter
' from the War-Office, directed to himself, command-
ing him, as soon as the Defendant was discharged
under the civil process, to see him conveyed to the
Military Depot in the Isle of Wight.
Mr. Liters observed, that the conduct of Mr.
Tarrett, in sitting as a Judge in his own cause, if it
were not illegal, was certainly indelicate; and sub-
mitted, thnt, as the Defendant had previously sof-
fered imprisonment, the subsequent proceedings at
the Sessions were not justifiable.
Lord Er.r.tweonouott—" You have moved for a
writ of Habeas Corpus, preparatory to the libe-
, ratios of a man, who is now. confined for debt.—
Let that debt be first satisfied, and then apply to the
Court, which, in that event, will deliver an opinion
upon the conduct pursued at the Quarter Sessions, at
ae upon the letter from the War-Offiee."—Mod
; tivs refused.

The Bridgehouse Committee reported relative to
the office of Assistant Clerk at the Bridgehouse,
which was read, and it was referred to the said Com-
mittee what salary should be made to the person to
be appointed.
The Coal and Corn Committee,reported respecting
the conduct of the principal and labouring Land
Coal-meters, in not doing their duty according to the
directions of the Act of Parliament, which was read,
agreed to, and referred back to be carried into exe-
cution.

The Committee for General Purposes reported
their having appointed Mr. Henry Woodthorpo, jun.
to prepare for printing the Minutes of the Court,
which was read and agreed to.
The Special Committee reported on the propriety
of Petitioning Parliament for Repealing the In.
solrent Debtors' Act, which was read, and after con-
siderable debate agreed to, and the Sheriffs, attended
by the Itemembrancer, were requested to present
the same forthwith.

' Upon the Report of the Committee for Peneral
Purposes, the Court ordered the front of the Mansion
House to be lighted up with gas.
The Improvement Committee presented a Report re-
lative to the improvements at St. Martin's-le-Grand,
. which was read and ordered to be printed, and a
copy sent to every Member. A meeting had taken
place with the Postmaster-General on the subject of
removing the Post-office, at which it was distinctly
avowed, that the return of peace, the extension of
business, and the necessity of having more room, had
determined Government to erect a new Post-office.
They were disposed to continue it in the city, if ac-
, commodatimi was granted to them at St. Martin's-le.
Grand ; if not, it was right to inform them that an
• extensive plot of ground was offered to them near
Shoe-lane • aad if this failed, it would be remoted to
Somerset-use. It was for the city then to deter-
! niine•'—a preference was felt to be due to the city„as
it had been placed there so long, but greater ac-
commodation must be obtained.
The Improvement Committee presented nentbee,

Report for further continuing the improvement lately
begun in Lombard.street, which was read, agreed to,
and referred back fur execution.

A SAtton's Fuottc.—Yesterday morning early, a
sailor who had been lately paid off, and who had been
riding in a coach about thestreets, with a fidler play-
ing, the preceding night, strolled into Covent-garden
Market, when he Ivas asked by one of the basket-
women if he wanted any thing carried for him ?
lie replied, he wished to be carried himself to a
place where he could get some breakfast. The wo.
man, who wanted to go home to her lodging in St.
Giles's, agreed to take him in her basket, to a coffee-
shop the corner of High-street; the sailor got in,
first getting his pipe lighted, and sat cross-legged,
smoking his pipe, in the woman's basket, which
was set upon her head by others of her own fra-
ternity. She went off, followed by a great con-
course of spectators of evety description, and with-
out once resting took her load to its destination, when
the sailor rewatded her with. ts pint

Curtiorc I .vcr.—On Saturday the 31st of De-

there were found sixty-three stones, some of tii
being the size of a man's fist, and weighing elt

One of those amphibious and horrible looking
quadrupeds otters, was shot upon the bank of
the Soar, at Barrow, near Loughborough, on Friday
se'nnight. It weighed about thirty pounds; and is
considered to he the largest that has latterly been met
with in that part of the cwuntry.

LEGAL ANECDOTE.—Mr. M'Nally, the Irish Bar-

amt. that the Earl of Mansfield presided in the Court
of King's Bench. It is well known that his Lord-
ship entertained a particular bias on political ques.
tions that came before him, nor was he partial to the
LearbedGentieman's volubility. A trial came on in
the Sittings after Term, in which Mr. M'Nally was
retained. In the course of it, the Defendant, who
had a large =or on the lower part of one of his
cheeks, begged leave to address the Court, which he
did very much in the style of the Barrister. The
Chief Justice then significantly remarked, " That
man would make a pleader."—" May I be permitted
to ass wt►y your Lordship thinks so?" interrogated
the latter. " Because," replied the Judge, " he
is all jaw."—" True, my Lord," rejoined the Ad•
