BUSINESS OF THE COURT.
The Loan CHANCELLOR observed. thei he
would sit on Saturday, although it was unusual at
this stesson of the yt.ar—but he felt that being
obliged to sit three days in the week in another
place (the House of Lord.) had left the business of
the Court in server. and he considered it his duty
to take every opportunity of removing that great
evil. He would therefore iu the beginning of the
emitting week give judgments. He would not ball
on Counsel to attend him, but would have notice
given to the Solicitors of the parties, that they
alight Nar his determination on each care, and
if enema. rils 'Counsel wished to have his reasons for.
his decisiusso'. aletheir suggestion he would state thews.'

ment of rent which was due.—[here a loud mar-

Messrs. MALT and ANDRRWS took an Object.
tion to the form of the indictment, Which was
segued at great length on both sides, and finally
reserved by the Court for wore mature considera-
tion.
Mr. Charlton. from the Vicar*-0-eneral's office,
produced the affidavit made by the Defendant, on

the Defendant. This letter was read, and couched
in terms of the bitterest disapppiniissent at the de.
termination of Mr. Lovell. Witness saw the De-

The difference of expense arising. from the obtain•

Jury to suppose the Plaintiff could halve intended
to run the risk of an illicit traffic; if, therefore,
any thing were omitted to render the speculation
legal, the fault was in the Defendant himself, who
acted as the Plaintiff's agent.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the evi-
dence to the Jury, and told them, if they were of
opinion the dollars were imported under licenses
granted with a view to the Navigation Act, or for
the purpose of dispensing with the prohibition of
the comiaon law, as to trading with an alien enemy,

they were not of that opinion, then they would
