Gibbs Crawford THIS case arose out of the cir cumstances attendant upon the conviction of two men of the name of Garside and Mosley, for the murder of Mr. Ashton, in the county of Chester. The respective sheriff's of the city and county of Chester refused to execute them, and after several respites, they were brought up before the court of King's Bench in Michaelmas Term, and were then ordered to be hanged at Horsemonger-lane gaol, which order was duly executed. A motion was made for leave to file a criminal information against the defendant, the sheriff of the county, for having refused to execute these men according to the order of the judge of assize, Mr. Baron Parke; and a trial at bar was ordered. The defendant sat within the Bar allotted for King's counsel.

A section of the 11th of George IVth. and 1st of William IV., chap. 7, enacted, that from and after the commencement of that act, his majesty's writ should be directed and obeyed, and should extend and be exercised over and within the county of Chester, and the county of the |
