The Lord Chancellor—" This rase comes before me on petition. 1 have given full and deliberate attention to all the. farts and proceedings of this most esteem (hoary case (for eat ram dimity it is in every view), and it is also most important. as it relates 10 the lukerty of the subject, and the doe administration of a very high branch et the law °filth country.
