my !acts In support of my chins, and Mr. Hu:tibia
were to state hi. facts In support of hi. claim, they
might be submitted In writing to your Honour, and if
thore were any of these facts ou which we could not
agree, they could be decided in the ritual way. Your
Honour would then here all the fact, clearly I, lore
you., the matter would be greatly shortened, and we
should rot a muole better decision.
