. COURT (IV CHANCERY, J.N. 26.

•
The Court was occupied the whole of the day in bear-
further arguments in tie case of the 31arquis of
Towns:tend r. the Bishop of Norwich. It was not
telebed, and we therefore think it better to give an
(lithos of the whole when the parties hate been beard.
The point is one of very great importance, iu so far as
the duties of trustees under a will are concerned, and
rrtirnlarle where there were several clung' livings in
tie gift of the testator. Wr. WE:rifest:Lt. WA4 heard
this day for nearly three hours, and was followed by
il:ttior Counsel. The ATTONNEY-GEN rnAt.,3lessrs.flAer,
.S,IinWeLL, &c. have yet to be heard.

COURT OF KINO'S BENCH, JAN. 46.

THE RING r. JOHN ARCHER NORRON, ESQ.
It will he reconciled that in last term a rule to chew
cause why a criminal information should not be filed
Was obtained at the instance of Charles Pearson, Bent.
an attorney of this Court, against the defendant, a ma-
gistrate of the county of Lancaster, acting fur the War-
rington division, fir corruptly refusing, as was alleged,
to take the depositions of certain witnesses, against a
member of the Manchester Yeouianry, charged with fe-
LtninuslT cutting and maiming the accusers, after the
transactions which occurred at Manchester on the 16th
day of August. The circumstances of the case were
then billy discussed, and reported in this paper ; and the
l'ourt having taken time to consider of their judgment,
"Tii'e Unice .Icarice, at the sitting of the Court this
morning, read the written opinion of the I 'ourt ; but as
the Learned Judge was not audible in many ;:arts of the
opinion delivered, we cannot attempt any thing like a
il.stailerl account of what his Lordship read. Mitch en-
comium was passed upon the niagistrac of the whole
Lingdtim for their integrity and learning, nail the de-
tniest was described as a gentleman entitled to his
share of the culogium. (In the other hand, the conduct
of Itr:Teittoon, the solicitor, was condemned, in his
haring need the. laseguage of peremptory demand and
Menace in requiring the defendant to discharge-his ma—
gisterial duties. His Lordship declared it to be the opi-
nion of the Court, that an attorney had no right to act
trn the manner suggested to hare San that of. Mr. Pear-
son, in having remonstrated with the defendant—that
an attorney had no right to he present in the Justice-
room of a tnagistrate—that his being allowed to be pre-
sent was mere matter of courtesy—and that, at all events,
lie was not to be permitted to comment upon the con-
dnet of a Justice. The threats held tint to the defendant
were soch to which he, as an hononrable man, ought
nut to submit; and the Court could not forbear express-
ive their disapprobation of the language imputed to Mr.
Pearson. On the whole, the Court, being of opinion
that nothing like a corrupt motive being imputable to
the defendant, and that under the critical and delicate
circumstances in which he was placed, he bad acted with
correctness, the result was, that there was no pretence
for a criminal iefurtnation, and consequently that the
rule must be discharged with costs.

Tilt KIND P. Plasma AND COTNER!".
ca.., which, it will be recollected, is a rule itiel
for - crimioul information against the defendants, for an
&nerd inteegvtion of the proceedings at the last elec-
tionlOr a Lord -Mayer at Oaildkall, stood in the perensp-.
tOrtpliprr for argument this day, and
Thel3ottcyroa-ticxecit, fur the Crown, having ap-
plied to the Court to tic a day for the argument, in con-
sequeuce of the voluminoui *Starks on both sides, and
eoliesel.being separately employed for each defendant;
The Collar was of opinion, that in the present stati
othtlltithitelness of the Court, the ease must conic on in
its tom.
Hunt was prewar, and warmly objected to
any postponement, disclaiming, on his part, any con-
sesion with the other defendants.
