Mr. Hour.-:—Yes, my Lord. The other defendants signified their assent.. LORD CHIEF JUST icz..—What is your first ground ? Mr. Hoar.—My Lord, the first ground on which I hate to move for a new trial is, a misapprehension of the Learned Judge, Who presided at the trial at York," in rejecting evidence which he ought to have received.
