Mr: HART tikelainied arty acquaintance with the subject.
The VICIL.CHANCELLOR said that every Barrister practising
in that Court knew that, in order to the better despatch of busi-
ness, and the consequent benefit of the public, regularity and
system must are obaerved. In the instance in question, he had de..
clared his intention to hear the motion, when othcr business, pre-
viously arranged, should have been conch dal. He had said he
.should hear the motion in ten days, that was in half the time that.
usually intervened ; and in so doing he felt that he was indulging,
ansfeatl of impeding, the proceeding of the applicant.
Mr. BARBER admitted that it was only on Saturday last he-had

an injunction, and he had nude it, too, without any affidavit of
