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.

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 of the payment of the defendant. Ker v. Mitchell. 487
2. Under a bond, conditioned that if F. M. shall duly account for all monies, &c. re- ceived by him in plaintiff's service, as a clerk; and also, that if the said F. M. shall embezzle, &c. plaintiff's property, and shall, within three days after proof thereof repay &c. plaintiff the damage sustained by such misbehaviour or misdo- ing, or in default thereof, if the defendant shall, after notice given, make a full re- compence to plaintiff, then the bond to be
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.

1. Discharge under the insolvent debtors act, 53 G. 3. c. 102, does not bar an ac- tion of trespass, where the cause of action arose before the insolvent went to prison, and the damages were unliquidated before the discharge. Lloyd v. Necle. Page 222 2. A commissioner of the insolvent court has power to have the insolvent debtors brought before him, by a rule or order of, and signed "By the Court," but not if signed by the commissioner. Anon. 225 3. It is no objection to a note given to an in- solvent debtor, that it is not entitled in the court. Clarke v. Davis. 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 discharged. See the statute of 1 Geo. 4, c. 119, which has not been referred to in this case, and which settles the law on this point. Hilton, Administratrix of Wilton v. Worrall. 448
INSPECTION OF DEEDS, &c. See PARISH AND P. QUO WARRANTO, 1. 1. Where the plaintiff, in an action on a deed, has had the same taken from him under a warrant against him for felony, the court will, on an affidavit of demand upon the magistrate and constable, direct them to give plaintiff a copy to declare on, and to produce the deeds on the trial, plaintiff undertaking to pay expences. Harris v. Aldrit. 2. Rule absolute to magistrates and con- stables to produce deed of felon in their custody, on paying expences.
3. Rule for inspection of a lease, in order to obtain names of witnesses to subpoena 230 them. Anon.
4. The court will confine their order for in- spection of a deed to particular parts of it. 231 Ramsbottam v. Cooper.

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 bene esse, the court said he came too late. Minster v. Coles.
3. Proceedings set aside for irregularity, where no latitat was issued, notwithstand- ing three terms' delay in moving the court. Anon.
237 4. It is not necessary to use the term 'irre- gularity' in a rule to set aside the proceed- ings for irregularity. An irregular no- 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.
5. No date to the notice of the declaration is necessary. Anon. 238 6. A statute, making the process on which the attorney's name and date are not in- dorsed, actually void. It is no objection to a motion to set it aside, that it has been made too late. Mullett v. Alexander. 239 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.

damages and costs in original action, 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.

Manure is assignable by the tenant, 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.
247 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

Exparte Morgan. Page 250 2. Mandamus granted to the commissioners of an inclosure act, to inquire if there is any modus. Anon.
251 3. In a motion for a mandamus the court will not grant the writ where discretion was given to the commissioners and they had exercised it, and no ground be shewn that they have done it wrongfully.
