Mr. Roebuck, at the sitting of the court, applied to their
lordships to remind the decision to %Isiah they had come
lately oa the application of Mr. Serjeant Wilkins to defer the
arguments in this case till the next Term. This defendant
had been prepared to argue the ease in the recent tens, bet
it had been deferred to the present sittings expressly to ac
cue:modiste the learned serpent, who now had procured a
further delay nisi: months un the 114111.1 ground. This was
felt to he a hardship and an act of injustice by his client, and
he might say that is was calculated to prejudice many poor
pople whose interests were deeply ccnneeted with this
Cause and the company. Ile was ready to make any per-
sonal sacrifice in order that this case might be disposed of at
once, end he hoped that the court would reconsider its de-
termination in this matter.

Mr. Baron Parke—The attendant's of the Cnisf Baron will

case, which is filed for the 29th. If his lordship will con-
sent to attend for tL.s also, I see no name why it should
not be taken.

Mr. Roebuck having, in the meantime, obtained the as-
sent of the Chief Batua, afterwards expressed his with that
this case might be fixed to come on after that case to which
reference had been made._

Mr. Baron Aid•reon—Very well, let it be so. We will

Mr. It ), buck would gladly take the appointment on that
contingency. He hoped their lordships would survive the
