Pasch. 2 Car.

LITTLETON prayed a certiorari to remove an indictment for murder in Montgomery, in Wales, of one Cadwallader, who was killed in removing a force by order of the President of the Marches: He said that on account of the great influence of the persons concerned, judgment could not be had there, and he had a day given him.

Jones, J.

asked to Littleton, how it could be tried? Littleton, and Fanshaw one of the clerks of the Crown, said in an adjacent county. Littleton produced two precedents. One in a riot, the other in a mildemeanor.

Fanshaw said that it had been granted also in a case of felony.

It was granted accordingly. Antea, p. 12.
