THE QUEEN V. HARVEY

In this case a rule had been obtained for a quo warranto,
calling on the defendant to show by what authority he claimed
to exercise the office of alderman of the town and borough of
Liverpool. The defendant was elected to that office in Oc-
tober, 1841, in order to fill an occasional vacancy, and the
objection to this title was, that not being upon the burgess
roll for the then current year he was ineligible to the office
of alderman. It appeared that though his name was not on
the burgess roll for the year ending on the Ist of November,
1841, he was on the burgess roll for the year beginning on
that day. It was, therefore, argued that, being in fact qua-
lified when this rule was applied for, he was to be deemed as
sufficiently eligible.
The court had taken time to consider the question, and
Lord Denman now delivered judgment. It was clear that
the party elected ought to possess at the time of election the
qualification required by law. The defendant ought, there-
fore, to have been upon the burgess list of the year in which
he was elected. In order to be well elected in October, 1841,
he ought to have been on the burgess roll for the year ending
on the Ist of November, 1841 ; and, not having been so, the
rule for the quo warranto against him must be absolute.

THE PICTORIAL MODEL OF ROME.

At dusk, this novel exhibition will be seen under the
aspect which the scene presents during the rejoicing in cele-
bration of II Giorno di San Pietro, when the whole vast
Edifice of St. Peter's is Illuminated, and every detail of the
glorious Architecture shines forth in lines of resplendent
light. It is on such festive occasions that the celebrated
Girandola, or great FIREWORKS of ST. ANGELO,
are displayed from the summit of the Castle and Bridge
beyond all comparison the grandest display of Pyrotechnic
Art ever invented. A fac simile of this
GORGEOUS FESTIVAL

ROCKETS, and CASCADES Of FIRE, FOUNTAINS, and STARS,
the whole of the Eternal City will appear as visible as by
the broad light of day.
