Gentlemen,

No. 21.

Take notice that his majefty's court of king's bench will be moved on Friday the twelfth day of February inflant, or fo foon after as counfel can be heard, for a writ of certiorari, to remove into the faid court all and fingular orders and convictions made by you or either of you a gainst T. H. for refufing to pay Eafter offerings, &c. dated the 5th day of February, 1793.

T. H. of the Hamlet of L. L. in the parish of O. in the county of B. higler, and R. R. clerk to J. J. of T. in the county of O. gentleman, feverally make oath and fay, and first this deponent T. H. for himself faith that [here the circumftances are stated concisely to shew the ground of the complaint and then the affidavit proceeds thus] which faid

Here it may be of ufe to the young practitioner to particularize the circumfrances that must appear on the face of the conviction to make it unexceptionable. The conviction ufually confifts of fix principal parts, 1ft the information, 2ndly the fummons, 3dly the appearance, 4thly (if the defendant appears) his defence or confeffion, 5thly (unless he has confeffed) the evidence, and 6thly the judgment. The information must always be stated at large, and should contain the day when it was taken, the place where taken, the name of the profecutor, the name and style of the juftice or justices to whom it is given, the name of the offender, the time of committing the offence, the place where the offence was committed, and an exact description of the offence. In the fummons the date must be subsequent to the information, but it feems to be fufficient if it states that the party was duly fummoned, though if the fummons be particularly stated, it fhould appear to be for a reasonable time and place; however if it flates the defendants appearance, that cures any defect in the fummons, and even the total want of one. The defence or confeffion must be stated, and in the cafe of a confeffion it must be of fuch facts, as fully constitutes the offence. The evidence, if the defendant denies the charge, muft contain the information, the day and order

order was made within fix calender months from the time of application being made to this honourable court to remove the fame; and this deponent R. R. for himself faith, that he did on the 5th day of February inftant perfonally ferve R. S. efq. and S. B. efq. in the notice hereto annexed named, with the faid notice, by delivering to each of them the faid R. S. and S. B. a true copy thereof, and at the fame time fhewing them refpectively the notice an nexed.

place where it was taken, the name of the offender and the time where the offence was committed, but between fuch and such a day is fufficient : it must also contain the name of the witnefs, and the evidence should be given in the defendant's prefence, but it seems the court will presume the witnefs to have been examined in his prefence, unless the contrary appears, and the mere affirming the evidence given in the information to be true is infufficient, as the witness ought to be refworn in the defendant's prefence, though a confession of the charge cures that irregularity. The evidence must be of a fact prior to, or exifting at the time of the information, and the fact must appear to have been committed in the place where it was laid in the information or at least within fome place within the convicting magist ate's jurifd.&tion, and the evidence must be fet out at large, and contain the accurate statement of the facts that conftitute the offence as fully as in the information and in some cases more fo, that the court may fee that the justice has done right; and the judgment must state the adjudication of the defendants being convicted of the forfeiture or penalty, a declaration of the forfeiture or penalty incurred, and a distribution of the grant forfeited. Befides these particulars it may be further observed that the court always rather incline to fupport than quash both convictions and orders, but they expect more precifion in a conviction than in an order, that the conviction must be under the hand and feal of the magiftrate before whom it was taken, that it must be in the prefeat tenfe, that it must be certain, and that it cannot be good in part and bad in part, but must be wholly quashed if there is any fault in it.
