Commissary Court Of Londo...
The Court was occupied fbr some dme in swearing in churcS. wardens clected in divers parishes within this jurisdiction. At 12 o'clock Kr. Fenton (proctor) informed the Court that he appeared for the overseers and other inhabitants of the parish and hamlet of Mdile-end, to object to thc election which they bad re- cently made of four churClwardens, as an illegal election, the cus- tom being to elect only one such officer. He -submitted, therefore, that this was an invalid election. Sir CuR1LSTOPHEB ROBINrsoN said, the churchwardens in ques. tion had not been presented to him. Thc proctor stated to the Court, that they had been in court, and that their election had proceeded under the advice of a learned cid vilian, who considered the parties autborized to make it. 16ir CHRISToPnER RoBINSsON.-Are there any parties in Court wrho wish to be sworn ? A person in Court stated, that the four cherchbwardens would be present in a few minutes, having been sent for. The REOGrsTRA.R advised the Judge that the usual hours for swearing in on this day were from 9 till 12. It being about 10 minutes past 12, Sir CHtRISTOPHER ROBINSON said, the validity of the election in question, and the right of tihe parties to elect in suchi form, must be tried at another time, and under other circumstances. Mean- while, he certainly thought that those parties ought to have taketa their advice earlier; but the hours of business having arrived and transpired, he should adjourn the Conrt. The Coart rose accordingly; and, as we apprelhend, the founr churchwardens,not having been swer1, cannot enter-on their office. C3OiMISSARY COURT OF LONDON. .Trm- 2
