By the court.

Waties, J.,

expressed an opinion in favor of the construction contended for by the counsel' in opposition to the prisoner’s application, on all the points contended for in the argument ; in consequence of which the prisoner’s claim was negatived, and himself remanded to gaol.

Note. The doctrine upon which the above case was decided, has been repeatedly recognized since, by a majority of the judges, individually.
