[482] the queen against thomah beadle. Wednesday, April 22d, 1857. An officer of the excise having, on behalf of Her Majesty, sued before two justices for a penalty imposed by one of the Excise Acts, and the information being dismissed, appealed on behalf of Her Majesty to the Quarter Sessions, where the Sessions made an order, by which his appeal was dismissed with coats. This Court quashed the order of Quarter Sessions, on the ground that they had no jurisdiction to award costs against the Crown. The provisions of stat. 18 & 19 Viet. c. 90, ss. 1, 2, do not apply to such a case. [S. C. 26 L. J. M. C. Ill ; 3 Jur. N. S, 862; 5 W. LI. 498. Not applied, Moore v. Smith, 1859, 1 El. & El. 601.
