ARCHES COURT.
(Before Dr. Lushiagrtoo.)
" ESSAYS AND REVIEWS."
TUB BISHOP or SALPiBURT V. WILLII.IIB.-PETDALL t.
WILSOS.
The court met at I I o'clock.

The Queen's Advocate (Sir R. PhiHimont) and Mr. Cole-
ridge, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Dr. Deane
and Mr. Stephens for the defendants. _ _

About half-past 11, after the delivery of a short judg-
ment in a case relating to church.rates,
The Queen's Advocate said it was arranged that he
should speak to the court with reference to these cases on
this day. He believed be was now authorised to state that
there would be no necessity for producing any evidence at
all. The publication and institution would be admitted
in acts of the court. and consequently no time would be
occupied in the production of viva voce testimony. He
would, therefore, ask his lordship to fix • day. Monday
week would, be thought, be the most convenient time to
all parties for hearing what remained to be heard of the
argument in these cases.
Dr. Deane said Monday, December 15, would be the most
convenient day for himself.
The Queen's Advocate said he must really protest against
the hearing being put off longer than a week. The cases
having been postponed so long already, and being of some
importance, he moot press for the decision of the court,
unless some valid objection could be urged.
Dr. Lushington said he should be very glad to make any
arrangement which would suit the convenience of all parties; ;
but he was afraid that Monday week was already fixed as an
Admiralty court day.
The Queen's Advocate observed that if that were the case
all he could do was to ask his lordship to take the next day
that was open.
Dr. Lushington said he would give the parties any day
that he had at his disposal; but. frotu a communication
be had from the Registrar of the Admiralty on the
previous night, it appeared that every day for some time to
come was engaged.

Dr. Deantrbaicved that if his learned friend could take
Monday, the 15th, that arrangement would be the most
agreeable one to all parties.
The Queen's Advocate was afraid that be had no other
course open to him. Hewes anxious that the hearing should
not be postponed unneceseuily.
Mr. Coleridge would be glad if a day could be fixed which
would come before the courts left Westminster for the City
of London.
Dr. Lushington —What day do you want ?
. .

Mr. Coleri4eAny time Yiithitlthe nest ten days.

The Queen"; !Wrong' te—Although lam very aniions to
have my learned fnend's assistance, I am afraid I cannot as-
sent to his suggestion.
• • •• • • • •

Dr. LushingUn —.Suppose you let the matter stand over,
communicate together in a friendly manner, fix together
any day that will suit you, and let the hearing stand for
that day.
The Queen's Advocate—l think, my lord, we had better
take Monday, the 15th, as we are all agreed, and all here.
It was then settled that the hearing should take place on
Monday, the 15th of December.
