New Chancellor Seats As Contempt Case Reaches Court
The 46th chancellor takes his seat and calls a list of gentlemen for Queen's counsel within the bar. A rule is granted to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not issue for a prisoner held in the Fleet. The case cites a Lincoln arrest and transfer to a lord’s private house, then to the Fleet, deeming continued detention unlawful. The court assigns a rule and addresses related lunacy commission questions and other motions in the Lords and Rolls Courts.
