Mr. J. Russell, Mr. Renshaw, sad Mr. Ws!shy, of the
common law bar, appeared to support the 'modem in this
sass. The plain ts, the rector et a parish, had instituted a
suit for tithes in respect of property I. four diarist town-
ships. The court directed sa issue at law, and as action
was commenced against the defendant as a landowner in
ono of the township. The object of the present motion
was to direct admissions (tom all the parties ta all the town-
ships, to the end that they should be bound by the verdict
on thu one issue rained.
. .

The Lord Chancellor said, though it was kneaded in
directing the issue, that there should be only one trial to
determine the beets in dispute, he could sot compel the
parties to make admissions w`hich might be prejudicial to
their individual interests. He must, therefore, refuse the
motion ; but he would recommend the parties to come to an
undemanding so as to agree that one trial should mike.

thought proper to sit once in four months to hear such eases,
and parties were kept in custody. He was the only judge
who did so, and it was prescribed that a court should ba
