Pasch. 2 Car.
AN action was brought in London, in the sheriff's court there, on the statute 3 and 4 Ed. 6, for buying and selling cattle. The court held it bad; and the party being removed here by habeas corpus, was discharged. The suit being on a pœnal statute, ought to have been in the Court of Sessions of the Justices of the Peace.

Opinion:
It was held by
Doderidge, J. (and Whitlock, J. and Jones, J.
seemed to incline thereto) that the statute 21 Jac. 1 c. 4. p. 365, does not restrain suits on pœnal statutes, in the King's Bench, because that court is not named in it.
