BAIL, 66.

The House of Commons having voted the
defendant guilty of a breach of their pri-
vileges, for publishing a libel upon the
House, and having ordered him to be
committed to Newgate during their plea-
sure, and the Speaker's warrant being re-
turned into this court upon a habeas corpus,
sued out by the defendant, the court re-
fused to discharge him out of custody.
The writ of habeas corpus, whether at
common law or under the 31 C. 2, s. 2,
does not issue as a matter of course in the
first instance, upon application, but must
be grounded upon affidavit, upon which
the court are to exercise their discretion,
whether the writ shall or shall not issue.

INDEMNITY.

See COVENANT.

1. A bond conditioned to save harmless A.
from all actions, legal proceedings, and
costs, &c. which may be the consequence
of d.'s delivering over to defendant a bill
of exchange, part of the proceeds whereof
a third person is entitled to, is forfeited,
by payment over by 4. to such third per-
son of his share of the proceeds, upon his
demanding the same, without his bringing
any action, and though A. give no notice

1. Motion to set aside an inquisition for ex-
cessive damages, must be made on affida-
vits, to be produced at the time the rule is
granted. Therefore where such a motion
was made on the last day of term, without
affidavit, and the rule was afterwards
drawn up on an affidavit sworn before a
judge in vacation, the court in this term
discharged the rule with costs. Williams
218
v. Reeves.

2. It seems that a notice of executing a writ
of inquiry in this court can be continued
or countermanded but once, the K. B.
concurring with C. P. as to the practice;
but where several notices and counter-
mands of enquiry had been served, and at
length there was a fresh, and not a con-
tinuing notice served, it was held that the
inquisition under it was regular. Burgess
v. Royle.

2. A commissioner of the insolvent court has
power to have the insolvent debtors
brought before him, by a rule or order of,

3. It is no objection to a note given to an in-
solvent debtor, that it is not entitled in

4. An insolvent is entitled to be discharged,
though he has proceeded irregularly, if he
makes an affidavit of ignorance. In re
Jones, an insolvent.

5. A debt depending upon a contingency at
the time of a party's discharge under in-
solvent act, 18 G. 3. c. 52, is not thereby

1. Irregularity in process, on the ground of
a variance between the return of the writ
and the day in the notice to appear, can-
not be taken advantage of after plaintiff
has filed common bail, and also filed a
declaration in the office, and given notice
thereof to the defendant. Hompay v. Ken-
ning.

236
2. Where the defendant laid by until he re-
ceived notice of executing a writ of en-
quiry, and then came with a formal ob-
jection to the declaration delivered de

4. It is not necessary to use the term 'irre-
gularity' in a rule to set aside the proceed-

tice at the bottom of the copy of a writ, is
not a ground to set aside the writ, but
only the copy. Harvey v. Bennett.

238

5. No date to the notice of the declaration
is necessary. Anon.
238
6. A statute, making the process on which

7. Improper names of clerks on an old copy
of a writ, are immaterial. Anon. 239
8. Nil debet to an action of debt on a judg-
ment, though a bad plea, is not to be
treated as a nullity. Anon.

torney's undertaking to appear. Lowes v.
Newcombe Clarke.

omitting costs in error, cannot be object-
ed to. Anon.
Page 240
11. Rule to produce the record supported,
where a perfect issue was taken, and no
costs given where the rule was opposed
in the first instance. Anon.
241
12. The order in the margin of the paper
book is peremptory, and it must be re-
turned within the 24 hours; and though
it be returned before judgment signed, yet
the judgment is regular if signed after the
expiration of the 24 hours. Simmons v.
Cope.

ed sittings after that term, and the plain-
tiff does not go to trial at those sittings,
the defendant is entitled, in the following
term, to judgment as in case of a non-
suit; and if no reason is assigned for not
going to trial, the court will not compel
the defendant to accept a peremptory un-
dertaking. Walter v. Buckle.

though he thereby subjects himself to an
action. Burbugo and another v. King. 246
3. Where there is a proviso in a lease, that
upon nonpayment of rent by the lessee,
the term should cease, the lessor, and not
the lessee, has the option of determining
the lease upon the breach of such promise.
Reid v. Parsons.

4. In a breach of covenant on defendant's
demise for not having title to demise for
the whole of the term demised, whereby
plaintiff's assignee of the lease was evict-
ed, and plaintiff put to costs in an action
against him by such assignee for such evic-
tion, plaintiff must shew who evicted the
assignee; and merely stating that a third
person was seised in fee of the premises;
and that the assignee was evicted generally,
is not sufficient. Semble. Under the word
"demise," the lessee may maintain an
action of covenant against the lessor, for

justice has been done to one of the parties.
Exparte Morgan.

3. In a motion for a mandamus the court will
