==============================================
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, January 25.
MANCHESTER MEETING.
THE KING v. HENRY HUNT, JOSEPH JOHNSON, AND OTHERS.
At the rising of the Court, MR. CHITTY moved for a writ of certiorari to remove the indictment found by the Grand Jury of the county of Lancaster against these defendants, into this Court, in order to change the venue from Lancaster to some other county. The Learned Counsel said, that the object of the defendants was to have the indictment tried in some other county than that of Lancaster, for the purpose of obtaining an impartial decision in their case, in order to which the previous step of removing the indictment into this Court was necessary.
MR. JUSTICE BAYLEY. - "You had better mention this case again when the Court is entirely full. If you want an intelligent Jury, I think you cannot have a better chance of obtaining that object than by leaving the venue where it is. The Special Jury panel of the county of Lancaster contains the names of gentlemen fully answering that description, and you will find that a very large proportion of the Jury do not come from the neighbourhood of Manchester - a great many come from Liverpool and other distant parts of the county.
MR. CHITTY said, he should yield to the suggestion of the Learned Judge, and renew the motion when the Court was full. There were affidavits in preparation, which fully detailed the circumstances which he persuaded himself would be sufficient to induce the Court to accede to the motion.
MR. JUSTICE BAYLEY. - You ought to have the materials for that purpose ready now, because the Court would not accede to the motion for a certiorari unless there were sufficient affidavits to show that the indictment could not be fairly tried in the county of Lancaster.
MR. CHITTY said, he would be prepared with such affidavits when he mentioned the case again.
