BASLITT V. VIIITRLLT-Nitf TRIAL.

Mr. Muammar* moved in this ease to set aside the ver-
dict and have a new trial, upon payment of the costa of the
day, upon the ground that the defendant's attorney was
tousled as to the time that the trial was to take place. The
action was to recover a aura of matey for tran.latlng the
Life of Louie the 17th ; and it came on to be heard on Mon-
day last at Guildhall, when it was tried as an undefended
muse, and a verdictgiven fee the plaintiff for 751. It un-
fortunately ha that on the IMlftin of Monday it was
stated in the that the court would sit at 11 o'clock,
instead of the correct time, 10 o'clock, and the amnion:es
was that the defendant's attorney did not errive at Guild-
hall until half-pest 10 o'clock, and then he found that the
cause had been tried in his abeam*.
The Chief Justim—lt wee printed very plainly in the
sittings paper that the court would Mt at 10 o'clock, the
correct time. Suppose the riIIKI had said that the court
would sit in Lincoln's-inn Hall, and the attorney had gone
there, would that be ground for a new trial ?
Mr. Meensaara said that his client waa prepared to
pay the colts of the day, sad there was as &Merit of
merits. . .

Mr. Justice Mails—The fall marts had recently been in
the habit of adjourning frogs Saturday anal Mceday at 11
e'sleek, bigness some (sadism's at the be,, sad he believed

Jost as mask to the sitases at Guildhall, unless the (mag-
mas there had their owestry homes mar at hand—as at
Roston. (A laugh.)
The Chief Justice said that sot meeting until 11 o'clock
as Meedsys led Mussed la pert to tie old practice,
which gm le Wom as Setsidag at 3, until Monday at
11; and as to mar mart,' teems was gives for this, tho

Appended to the peopety sheet was an explanatory maw
meat, to the 'feet that the bankrupt estimated his lever-
timely interest under the will of the Earl of Dysart, his
father, at 40,0001. This interest was charged, to the ex-
tent of 20,0001., by a boad, executed by his lordship in
April. 1843, se undid= prudent to his obtaining his
certificate ander the farmer bankruptcy.
Mr. Shepherd, who appose= for the bankrupt, snit that,
from the report seat in by the oilicial assignee, it appeared
that the bankrupt had readered all the assistance in his
power in the prepared= of his accounts. His present debts
and liabilities were Welly renewals of those under the old
bankruptcy, the debts Mace et' strutted being of very
trifling amount as compared with the whole. No notice of
opposi
certificate. then had been entered, sod no one objected to theha
hapt receiving his rtificate. Whatever the mount
of debts might new be, but very few of them had been
proved ; and none of those who had proved appeared to
offer any opposition to the bankrupt's certificate.
Mr. Lucas said he appeared on behalf of the assignees,
and there was only one feeling with them and the creditors
generally, which was, that the granting of the certificate
in this ease would very materially facilitate the arrange
meets that might be made with other persons as to the
Payment of their debts; bat while the bankrupt was un-
untreated those Imilities did wet exist.
