recollect a great deal was done in the Drury-lane
cause, by obtaining, in the first instance, the co:l7.cm

Indeed, without that consent, it would bats bees
impossible to have brought it to an issue."

COURT OF KlNG's HE•CIT, Nov. 12.

•U&SLIR not:6omm O. Wit LIAM TAYLOR,L£Q.

The ATTORISLING moved for a Rule to
chew cause why certain creditors of the Defendant
in this toFtion, tine of tae proptietors of the Opera
House, should r.ot deliver up cettain securities to a
Mr. Hill, an Attorney in this Court. conformably
to an agreement entered into betwixt them. He
bad certain affidavits. stating, that Mr. Taylor was
indebted to Mr. Sioddart in :large rim of money,
for which he had brought an teflon, as weal as to
other persotie, upon bills, bonds, &c. upon which no
&Ilion had been biought. amounting in all to about
70001. By dao death of Mr. Goold, who was also
c tneerned with the Opera House, Mr. Taylot's
neuritis') became much bettered, his creditors were
therefore in we likely to be paid, and consequently
were the more desirous to come to some arrange-
nsent. App!ication was accordingly made to Mr.
Hill, the agent of certain creditors of Mr. Taylor,
while an outlawry existed against him. for the put.
pose of bringing about some amicable arrangement
and settkment with all the creditors. A meeting
tos.k place in January last, at Mr. Lowen's Cbam-
hers, why's they prevailed upon him to p:ve up
certain bills of exchange and boosts, for which they
were immediately to pay to Mr. Hill the sum or
Soul. provisdit.g he consented to i of the
outlawry, ono to use giving up of these securities.
To this tratudlion Mr. Hill accordingly consented,
on his bcog told that they experienced great em•
barrassmetit, and even considerable loss, by thew
thereby n, t bring a' le to proceed upon the ar-
rat-len:le:4 of Mr. Taylor's affairs. He according-
ly gave them up tits mods mad bills of exchange.
to the amount of 60001. or 70001. but they had nut
performed their part of the ..gs cement, but had, at
• subsequent meirinp. in May. merely laughed at
Mr. Hat, and s.t him at defiance.—Rule granted.

Gsaaow moved to make the Kula abso-
lute. It was a Rule formerly obrained for a Cri-
minal Information against the Defendant for seed-
ing a challenge.
Inc onnev-Gcscrt•t soiJ, he could chew
no cause. 7he D:tendant was a young man,
under 21 years .4 age. and seemed to have had no
particular motives tcr his cunutia. Hr hoped that
his friend., ard the other party, wuuld come to ',Aloe
strangement. Rule made aowitite.
