ofDorer„ although undoubtedly the regular intmirations
ought to be taken with as little delay as possible.' This
wit the first case where parties bad been brenght op
from iaterniediate custody. and the Court, in dealing
with it, would only order the detention of the prisoners
until their cases could be regularly Investigated by a
Magistrate, who would decide whether there was ground
for their commitment for trial. The rule, therefore, to
be pronounced was, that the prisoners be committed to
the Mershalsea until they could coniteniently be taken
before some competent authority, and dealt with accord.
iog to law. If any unreasonable delay should occur,
another application might be made to the Court.
The SOLICITOR GRNRRAL said that the reason why the
men were not examined was, that the Captain could not
prudently land them at Dover, and be could not bring
them up the river to London on account of the frost.
The COURT observed that this might as well have
been stated in the return.
The prisoners were then taken from the Court.
THE KING V. DUNAWAY AND RILL.
Mr. ScaacErr moved fora rule, calling on two Magis-
trates of the county of Suffolk to show cause why a
criminal information should not be fired against them.
He made this application on behalf of the
_proprietor of
a waggon which carried parcels between Nora ich and
Thetford, and who resided at Norwich. In August last
a quantity of game was on the road, taken up by hie
servants, and seized before it reached its place of dmti.
nation. Of this transaction be was entirely ignorant as
the time; and when he was informed of it, he dismissed
every one who could possibly be implicated from his
service. To his great surprise, in the month of Norm-
bar, be received a summons from the defendants to
appear before them and aoswer informations on 5 Anne,
c. 14. for exposing game to sale. He attended, and pre-
duced evidence to show his entire ignorance of the fact;
but be was convicted in penalties to the amount of r /.;
and the Magistrates, in drawing up the c tion,
omitted to state the evidence on which it w ()untied,
and obstinately refused to insert it. He was therefore
left without any means of redress, as the decision of the
Magistrates was final.
The LORD Cuter JIMTICI expressed his opinion that
the learned Cooosel bad shown enough to entitle him to
a rule; but suggested that, as the Magistrates had pro-
bably acted under an erroneous impression as to the
law, that the better course would be to take a mandamus,
directing them to insert the evidence, and to give notice'
of motion for a certiorari to remove the conviction. •
Mr. SCARLIITT assented to this proposal, and took his
writ of mandamus.
In the coarse of the morning Sir Hudson Lows came
into Court to swear an affidavit, on which he intends to
foetid a motion for a criminal information against Mr.
O'Meara. It is understood that the motion will be made
on Monday. The presence of Sir Hudson Lowe excited
mush curiosity in the body and &Tenets of the Court.
