We believe that the present volume is not to be ""itch. ad in the whole world, for such a mammoth aggregate if local tilecille information Is no less a typographical wonder than a Ilitcus monument of diligence ant enterprise. Some dozen or so s eparate Directors are included in this huge periodical—the only 'gas it seems, of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence a veritable triumph, Indeed. of the utilitarian principle over the or namental.

This is fol by a "Street Dint:torn' nulghttiod the tradesmen in every tistfroughfare, and-the points at which the streets are intersected by these at right angles; while the "Commercial - sad Professional Directory" is an alphabetical arrangement of the above. Then comes it "Trades' Directory," in which the names are allocated under their respective callings. The " Law Directory" Is a list of judge., Queen's counsel, sergeants, barristers, attorneys, Ste., with a cata logue of the various Courts of Law, their officers, and their pecultari ties of jurisdiction. The "Court Directory" comprises the addresses Or the nobility and gentry ; and the " Parliamentary Directory" is it record of the Members of the House of Lords and Commons, with an alphabetical list of the boroughs, cities, and counties returning lltembers to Parliament, the surnames and eldest sons of peers, Ice. The " Postal Directory" contains the hour of receipt and delivery o %very Post-office in the kingdom ; the cities and principal places throughout the world to which mails are dispatched from London ; the rites of foreign postage ; the railway mails and the cross-road mails, Lc.

None of th e l ea di ng towns can well be without it ; it mu s t ; 141 essential to every counting.heuse in the kingdom, as well as to Place of business is and about the metr o p olis. It is an invalu ut44ll work of its ki n d ; an d th e e xtent and minuteness of its useful de truly Wondei ful. Being prepared " under the immediate and 'Pod al patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest end ecmpletest means were, of course, at the command of the pro rsSetor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the voluminous d crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty lutllth annual publication. Few commercial and trading men can !" , re require particular description ef the reall. important and useful Mforrnat ion, t o almost every party in ally sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di rr-,r.Y.

From very consider L'ie examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and 'Stormation en matters which it must be so difficult, labor! us, and nAensive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassuming man is liberally realised. It net only equals the best of its prede e.,._ , lnt .but in several particulars it surpas s es all Its predecessors. ii;Z__.foyination is not only fuller in m an y res p ec t s , but there are Important alterations and addition., largely adding to the ess of the book. It is Intimated, and truly, that although all **t aPetitio lb* . n has disapp eare d, the pr esen t vo l ume i s consp i cuous proo f f eet ' there has been no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per the extraordinary work.

It Is, indeed, singularly full, useful, and Complete ; and must much increase the daily, it might be more truly Peenounced its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the trader, or the professional man. As the new treaty with Prussia ea cce a very considerable changes in the rates of postage as effesting the Austrian dominions, Baden.

Ecc., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged to come into operation on the ist of January, 1847." The other changes are not only numerous, but all the intelligence is announced to be brought down to a period as late as was compatible with the appearance of such a volume in sufficient time for general circulation, Prior to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. The business merits of the werk are of the higiiest order, and render it, of its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for its Completeness, fulness, and useftriness. SUN, Nov. 18,1846. The present is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Direetory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation It Is. The " Post-office Directory" has been for some years under the management of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the manager of this Work, there were divers other Directories in the field. They have, however, all disappeared, and the " Post-office Directory" now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not bad the effect of making the proprietor of this gigantic work careless. Re is tee th o rough a man of business not to be perfectly aware that the fruits of his success can only be reaped by a continuance of the same untiring energy by which the success was in the first instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Pest-office Directory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elaborate arrangements than any former edition of the book. The extent and tuinmeness of the details furnished, render the work indispensable to every cerninercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably, however, is this multifarious information digested and arranged, that there is not the slightest difficulty experienced in referring to the articular page required to furnish the information—a marvellous ' , stance of clearness of arrangement In a w ork consisting of upwards of two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This Directory is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever offered to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indispen sable necessity of such a work, no man of business can for a moment entertain a doubt ; and considering the completeness and fulness of _ informaticn furnished, and the enermous outlay of time and o capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the n ' ib nostion the very reasonable price at which the work 13 published r °4l -IY wonderful. -------- GLOBE, Nov. 21, 1846. JSlsilY's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just "`e 1 4 appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor- Illation which this book contains, makes it not only desirable but 1 1b $ 01 h4tly necessary as a part of the office furniture of every man of 'niftiness ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else, "who requires to know anything concerning the trades, professions, the localities of the great metropolis. In its pres e nt ex t en d e d f orm, , book is an absolute curiosity ; the l a b our an d expense which it .9 3 colt to bring it to its present state of perfection m as t h ave b een t thuiense. In turning over its two thousand pages, one hardly Knows which most to be strack with and admire—the excellent a rrangement and utility of such a compilation, or the magnitude of the city which requires such a directory. The volume, moreover, Ontaias an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected down to the latest strides of " becks and mortar." WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 15, 1846. The ftey-eighth annual publication of this highly-important and %sena work has just been Issued ; and we must confess that its bulky appearance has surprised us not a little; and when we reflect that the pries remains unaltered, although the expense of collecting the inaferiais must have increased, we are pleased at the liberality of Mr, Relay; tbstpraprietor. In a commercial point of view, per haps, ao book ever contained so mach useful matter. Among other iafor►natiost, there is as " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a" Commercial Directory." a " Trades' Directory,'• a " Law Direc tory," a " court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " City Di re ctory,' a " Conveyance Directory," and a " Ranking Direc tory,"—in fact, the volume contains much that is interesting and Valuable to the tradesman, the merchant, the lawyer, and pen na in ordinary life, as well as to the gentleman who occasionally dabbles in trade. Every description of information has been corrected to the latest Pdisible period, and that information is arranged with a clearness and simplicity which must have involved great activity of mind and exertion of body. Sewed with the book Is an excellently engraved Map of - London, mere extended and accurate as to the enburbe than any map we have seen ; and to make it as complete a reference as possible, an almanac is introduced. In the " Postal Directory" there are the new rates with various parts of the Con tinent which will come into operation on the Ist of January. Altogether this new issue surpasses any of its predecessors ; and we are net surprised that other Directories should have gone to the blab of all the Capulets. BRITA.NITIAI, r0v.21, 1646. 'The French people have done themselves some credit by their in dastrial expositions. But It must be acknowledged that, though in genious and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with l ba Industrial exposltson presented to the mind by this mighty lume. Keeping pace with the advancing trade and population of Louden, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace with the move- Ment of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes nal7 epportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete classification. We find in this volume many in atances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively show the intelligence ind care exercised over every depart 'gent. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private a gents, the changes of residence are new brought down to a later Pet ted than formerly, and the. value of the " Directory" is conse rnt* enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer bm/ e stablished, both at the Post - ogi ce a n d throu g hout th e metro `.."l, that any Maher recommendation of it is superfluous.

As a mere compilation, it is probably the most wonderful on record ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1846 This huge volume, the (forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is tilt referable to its mere connexion with the Post-office; for an important change has been gradually introduced info the man ner of collecthy; the information ; and a larger portion of the work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor rested coatclit with his past success, but has introduced many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, awl added to its bulk with out any increase of price. Ihe ' Postal Directory' is especially im proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to he seen in another column; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the "Directory" will .d that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial country this is an indispensable volume. RAIL u•itY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. The mew volume of the Post-olice Directory for 1847 is already in our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so laborious, extensive, and mieute, could bo in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro duction of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves on pur chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is is any degree exaggerated. lIERAPATIO 4 RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements ty.on its valuable predecea•or. but with no enlarge. ment in the price. Tht continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and it is hot a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation We know net whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was dons in the last, to wrest it from the hinds of the present proprietary, and to plate it by the force of might over right in the possession of Government. But should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its eon doctors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping interference of Govern ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub lished before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere connexion of the ' Directory' With the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high cha racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toll and application on the part of those engaged in the corn pilationof the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all question; prior to the ' Directory' passing tO tts present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this. They have disappeared." Rally said Co., 19 and 20, Old Boawell-court, Temple !tar, and all booksellers. T HE CITY OF LONDON LIFE ASSURANCE SGCIETY. No. 2, ROYAL EXCHANGE-BUILDINGS.

The Deed of Settlement of this Company having been approved by the Registrar, and the number of Shares prescribed by the Act having been subscnbed for, the Directors will proceed upon the Ist of May next, ensuing, to issue Sea Policies under their Common Seal. For the effectual protection of both shareholders and the assured, the constitution of this Company is based on the principle of limit ing the amount entertained In and upo i ln.dividual vessels, or their cargoes, in rateable proportion to the capital subscribed, and remain -I,ig clear in hand according to a graduated scale, constructed with the greatest care, thereby securing a wide and equalised distribution of outstanding risks, to the entire exclusion of gambling profits, and ruinous losses, from both sides of the account. Under special clauses inserted in the Deed, no single Insurance. for the space of twelve months, from the date of issuing the first Policy, will exceed 5001. For the space of three years from the same date the limit has been fixed at 1,0001.; and for the space of seven years at 1,5001.,—a method of proceeding obviously calculated to ensure a steady and remunerative business, and avoid the disastrous results incidental to an opposite system. A list of the Board of Directors, of the officers of the Company, and of the Agents appointed for the outports, will be given in the Prospectuses, which will be published after the complete registration of the Company has been legally effected. NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON. `UNITED KINGDOM LIFE SSURANGE COMPANY, No. IS, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON. The attention et Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Company's affairs, in January, 1850, may b" secured at a present annual payment of one half the rates generalb ah vged by other companies. In the event of death the sum insur d 71.11 be paid, after deduction of the other half of the rates. Slics..4 t Le life insured survive the decla ration of the bonus, the policy ma • be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim fe • the half premiums which may be due thereon ; or. in the mat of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Company. was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company in 1840, when it was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the following table : Sum Assured.

J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost nail*. under these cireuxect*3)e" 1a 1 Y#u indueed to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, sad it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—ltell's Messenger. . 4 * Beware of " Spurious Imitations I—The genuine article has the words " ROWLAND'S MACASS tR OIL " on the wrapper.

LONDON ASSOCIATION OF EAT ING-HOUSE AND COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPERS. The members of this excellent association, which pays particular respect to the aged and the decayed of their number, assembled last night in the Freemasons Tavern, in - a sat down, together with their friends, to dinner; Sir Benjamin Hall in the chair. Every arrangement for the delight or convenience of the guests seemed to be appreciated to their full extent by all present. After dinner the Non no/is was sung, and the usual toasts in honour of her Majesty, the Prince, and the Royal Family, and the Army and Navy, were given with all the honours. The Chairman then rose to propose the toast of the evening. It was " Success to the Association of the Eating-house and Coffee-house Association." The Chairman, in introducing the toast, referred to the com paratively late increase of the class out of whom rose the tnembers of the society, who had been in the ratio of 2,000 to 10 during the years since when it first appeared in society. The Hon. Baronet in the course of his speech pronounced a high eulogium on the efforts of the coffee house keepers to advance the intellectual character of the people. Mr. C. LUSRINGTON, who sat on the right of the Chairman, proposed the Chairman's health, and paid him a high compliment. M. COCIIRANE, who sat on the left of the chair, gave the " Press," and spoke at length upon the reciproca advantages, which the press and the people equally received. Mr. HUMPHREYS then read a report or the finances of the Society for the year, in which Sir B. Hall ap peared for 10/ 10s. ; John Masterton, 51. ss. ; Mr. Conyfeers, 5/. ss. ; and a nuni'm of others equally worthy of notice. After the other usual toasts, the assembly broke up, entirely satisfied with the entertainments of the evening. Sorry always to find ourselves lonely, we wore sorry es pecially to find that we were obliged to disapprove of the arrangement, which prevented us by the distance at which we were compelled to occupy our place, from hearing either the Chairman or any of bis worthy com peers round him. It was with a far different wish we went to join the celebration of the anniversary of a noble institution, but if the friends of the Secretary ex luded him and the press from the neighbourhood of the Chairman, they entailed an evil on the public and the institution which they were met to support. Only one fact more we stay to mention in justice both to the chairman and to the guests. Sir Benjamin Hall having consented to do himself and the company the honour to take the chair at the anniversary dinner of this Association, agreed to preside over the assembly at tire r.ar. On the afternoon of the assembly, when the guests were already met at five o'clock, the hour of dinner, a letter was received from this indefatigable statesman, informing the guests present that he could not preside till half an hour past six o'clock. But this hour was again ushered in by a note, intimating that the Hon. Baronet would be present in ten minutes thereafter. We are glad to be able to say that the Hon. Baronet did come; the guests, moreover, waited his arrival, and sat down somewhat on the yonder side of seven, instead of five, o'clock, to what could scarcely be other than a cold collation. PHYSICAL VERSUS MoßAL.—Whether the Physi cal wants should be remedied through the Moral, or the Moral through the Physical, has been a question which has occupied the attention of philosophers and philanthropists for centuries. Without attempting to decide the question, there can be no doubt that when the Physical condition is impaired it demands the first attention. For instance ; a person whilst suffering from an acute attack of Gout would be unable to appreciate the sublimest lessons of philosophy, even though enunciated by the divine Plato. How much more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, so efficacious in eradicating this distressing malady.

MINDEN V. THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. muTTrthereisatcitisotehnecwaramespeliebtifo the Court upon a special de murrer Luneburg, e t n e deebr M ui er u ok n , d t o e n bro u gh t by the plaintiff, Mr against his Serene h ighness, ess, s 4 C ar ha l r es . rAugustuseco ve r William Du k e o f runswich and payment of an annuity of 200 L, conditions ; amon,,steauonrtdher which the defendant had se acknowledge her that by d ik e e ed p r ain ce ti r i Lain i l it to be in should be content therewith, discharge of all claims which she m" fendant ; that she should not wri te tot have o d n ef t e h n e datt , concerning past transa c ti ons b etween the parties and on -: several other conditions, t h e b reach of which was' to ren der the deed void. The declaration fully set out the deed and alleged a breach. The defendant, in person, pleaded a plea to the ju risdiction of the Court, alleging, that at the time of the making of the said deed he was a Sovereign Prince—to wit; the reigning Duke of the Duchy Of Brunswick and Luneburg ; and that the said deed was made by him in his dominions; and that from the time of making the said deed he had been, and still was, justly entitled ti ail the rights, prerogatives, and privileges apper taining to him as the Duke of Brunswick and Lune burg, &c., and prayed judgment if the Court here ought to take cognizance of this action. The replication alleged that the Court ought not to be barred from taking cognizance of the said action, because the contract was not made with the defendant in respect of any matter appertaining to the state and Govern ment, or policy of the said duchy of Brunswick and Luneburg, but that the said debt was a private debt owing from the defendant, in his private capacity,to the plaintiff ; that after the making of the said deed, and be fore the accruing of the said debt, the defendant quitted the said duchy, and was domiciled within the jurisdic tion of this Court, not as a Sovereign Prince, but as a pri vate subject of, and owing obedience to, her Majesty tha Queen. To this replication the defendant demurred, and several points for argument were raised by the de murrer. Mr. Lusa, in support of the demurrer, said the de fendant was a Sovereign Prince, and as such be was not liable to be sued in a court in this country for any act done by him while a Sovereign Prince, and acting as a Sovereig n. The defendant was the'Duke of Brunswick and Luneurg, and was no more liable to be sued in an English court than the Emperor of Russia or the King- of Prussia. The defendant alleged that he was still entitled to all the rights, privileges, and preroga tives of the Duke of Brunswick; that part of the plea was not traversed by the replication— it was admitted. There was no averment that he had abandoned his country, there was nothing inconsistent with his averment that he was still a Sovereign Prince. The question then was, could a Sovereign Prince be seed in the courts of this his country? Ile contended that he could not. There were not many authorities on this subject, and the chief was the case of the "Duke of Brunswick v. the King of Hanover" (6 Be-vans' R. p. 9), in which a bill in Chan cery had been filed to set aside an act of state done by the King of Hanover; and there was a general demurrer for want of equity, and it was held by Lord Langdale, the Master of the Rolls, that the Court had no power - to relieve. The Master of the Rolls, in giving his judg ment, entered fully into the discussion of the question, and he decided that he could not interfere in such a case. The immunities of Sovereign Princes were grounded on the same reasons as the immunities granted to ambas sadors. He submitted that the ruling by the Master of the Rolls was correct, and should be followed in this case. It was admitted on the record that the act was done while the defendant was a Sovereign, and it ought to be presumed that it was done by him in his capacity of Sovereign. A Sovereign Prince domiciled in this country was prima facie not liable to be sued in the English courts, Mr. Justice PATTEsox—Primi facie, a Sovereign Prince is not liable to be sued even in his own dominions. Mr. LIISH—The plaintiff ought to show that he was so liable, for if he was not liable to be sued in his own country he could not be in this. It was for the plaintiff to show that the defendant had ceased to be a Sovereign Prince, and had become a subject of her Majesty. She had failed to do so. The Duke of Brunswick's stay in this country was only temporary, and he had not aban doned his rights as a Sovereign Prince. On these grounds he submitted that the demurrer would be sustained. Mr. BOVILL, in support of the replication. The pleadings had been framed in accordance with the de cision of the Master of the Rolls, and he was surprised that his Learned Friend relied upon that decision for his defence. His Learned Friend did not deny that the • defendant would be liable for what took place in this country. The Duke of Brunswick was now domiciled in this country, and was responsible for acts done in bis private capacity, when in his own country. In the case of the . " Duke of Brunswick v. the King of Hanover," it was considered that the acts done were acts of state; but that was avoided in this case, by replying that the debt was a private debt, owing by the defendant in his private and personal capacity to the plain:ill'. The ground of the decision of the Mister of the Rolls was, that Minis ters were responsible for the acts of their S.,vereigns. The decision in the case f the King of Hanover was, that if there was a contract nut made by. him in titat . 7 Character, but as a private- individual ;'-!: e was liable t o be sued here. He relied upon that authority. The plea was one in abatement, and that no court in this country had any jursd'ction. lie con•ended that the plea was ninscoiweiveti; it should have been in bar, and not in abatement. A plea in abatement, which did not give a better writ. was bad. Mr. Justice WicirrNAN—This is a pica to the juris diction, and it concludes as such. Mr. BoviLL—As the defendant relikd on a perscnal privilege be mnq t•how that he was a Sovereign Prince. The plea alleged, that at the time of the making of the contract the defendant was a Sovereign Prince, but be did not allege that he was still a Sovereign Prince—he only alleged that he was entitled to all the rights, &c., without showi ng h ow h e was entitled. The defendant did not aver, that by the law of Brunswick he was not liable on this deed, and if he was liable in Brunswick he was liable in England. Mr. Lusu, in reply, said, that tilt plea was a plea to the jurisdiction. The reason why parties were liable here fur contracts made abroad was because they were liable there, and their liability went with them wherever they went. It that contract could not be enforced in Bruns wick, neither could it be enforced in England. If it had been an ordinary person who had made a contract in Brunswick, the plea would have been bad, but that was a plea of privilege. An ordinary individual would be bound to submit to the judgment of that Court, but a Sovereign was not bound. The COURT took time to consider their decision. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, April 27. (Before Mr. Justice MAPLE.) POWELL V. BRADBURY AND EVANS. Mr. HunsoN, the plaintiff's solicitor, applied for an order to inspect a document, and also for a copy to be supplied. The plaintiff was a sub-editor of a paper be longing to the defendants, called the Daily INews, and had brought an action to recover damages for the Lreach of an agreement for two years, which had been mutually entered into. The plaintiff having received from the Bristol correspondent of the Daily Ncws a re port of a case in the District Court of Bankruptcy of that place, in the course of his ordinary duty had revised and abridged it for insertion. This insertion formed the pre text for the plaintiff's dismissal, the defendant! pleading in reply to the action that the abridged report so inserted was an unfair, partial, garbled, and improper report. The plaintiff and his solicitor had made a joint affidavit, swearing that an inspection of the original copy was material to the case. The defendants' solicitor contended, that in all cases where inspection and copies bad been granted the plaintiffs had been a party to the document, which was not so in the present ease. Mr. HUDSON relied upon the case of " Blogg v. Kent,' (6 Bing. 664), where a party being trustee, or in the cha racter of trustee, was compelled to grant inspection of the document; and he submitted that the defendants in this case were quasi trustees, as newspapers were com pelled by Act of Parliament to keep the originals of matter inserted for twelve months, for the benefit of the public, in case proceedings should be taken in the mean time. Mr. Justice MAULE said he saw no reason for the ap plication, and should not make the order. Mr. HUDSON hoped his Lordship would, if he had any doubt, allow an application to the Cann. Mr. Justice MAULE said he could not prevent the parties from applying to the Court, but he had no doubt there was no ground for the application.
