from the Jildge, the Jury retired, and in a few

A'cause was tried and determined in the Court of
Exchequer, Dublin, on the Pith inst. before the
Hight lion. the Lord Chief Baron, in which the
Bishop of Kildare was Plaintiff, and Henry Dailey,
of Stillorgan, brewer, was Defendant ; the object

Wednesday, a considerable degree of interest
was excited in the Courts of Chancery and Rolls,

CHARLES BALL, for the Plaintiff, stated,.that by a
:rule made in the time or Lord Redesdale, it was

unnecessary to apply foe litjetty to execute an
attachment, and that by such rule, a party De-
fendant, when arrested on proCess for not answer-

answered ; and further gated, that Mr. Molguy
filed his original bill 'above four years back, which
Mr. O'Callaghan, to avoid answeniig, and create
delay,.t ice referred for prolixity, and the Plaintiff,
to avoid expense, each time amended
.his bill, but
on the Bth of March last filed one amended, Which

also referred this WI; siwl a reference was had
• before Master Henn, which lasted from the I stfi of.
