CISE or McCAUL.

Yesterday, before the Superior of the
county of Henrico, the Record of the &c
neral Court, ill the case of John McCaul,
was produced, and the proceedings were
quashed.--His council, Mr. Hort, attended,
and moved his discharge; but Judge Brock
en'rough issued an order, that the said John
McCaul should be carried before a Masis-
trAte, to be dealt with according TO Law
Vt OF the O'Clock of the afternoon. the said
McCaui, with much soemHity, was brought
before two magistrates, who had assembled
in the Assem6iy-room. Mr.. Hort opposed
the Jurisdiction of the magistrates, as, that
the Orders had not been signed by the Judge
OF the Superior Court tor the county of
Henrico: Yet the Magistrates exercised
what they thought their powers, and com
miited again John McCaul to Jail. This
qCestion will DC sifted.-The POWER Of the
Commonwealth and the RIGHTS of the CT
tizen are 1T stake.
The called Court AGAIN, against him, is
for Tuesday next.
