(a hick his lordship had tenon: handed down) she stated
that she is sot a yiustuliuet, nor did she return to the con-
vent with that view.

The lord Cleenrellor eould not well undershoot how that
cull he, wring that the young lady larrelf expressed her
willingness to leave anti come to Loudon and enter into

Mr. Bolt --And that was quite true, and all that leer

of Mr. It. r'arley which his lordship considered it necessary

to answer.
It nos, in the coarse of further conversation between the
Lord Chancel!or and the Om learned counsel, settled
that the forth. r diwussion on the petition..hould be taken
next Thursday, and that in the an. antinw the young lady
should be brought up (non the convent (at Taunton).
The Lord f•leineellor appro."d of that, hut he .lid not
wish her to be brought up until he should know where she
