The Lird Clone' Um, at the conclusion of the azguments,
mid thee questions of toil kind were elWayi of importance,
though net of any groat difficulty. The rule of law by which
a party was altered to protect him*, if against giving answers
that would criminate him was one of very serious importance,
and it wee incumbent un the judge, while ke recognised and
supported the rule, to take cam that the party staging hisnielt

time to take me that no party win put to What amounted

win whether the d. feedlots had shown to the court suffi-
cient reason for thinkioir that their further answering would

The defeadauts said that the plaintiff himself drags-It by his
