Mr. Webber-Your Worship, I wish to say, has committed an error both in law and in form.

From the worn evidence of the last witness, who also executed the warrant, he stated that the retur was not made as soon as the warrant had been served, but was made this morning. And a warrant, as your Worship knows perfectly, when once used, nothing can be added to it or taken off, hence the warrant was an illegal instrument. A warrant once used, moreover, cannot be used a second time, and therefore your Worship had not the power legally to grant a remand on it.
