reported to have said, " No! the least of the 'emits .if this
Ilill was, that it would prevent the great expense mill litiga.
lion now but common in asserting right of settlement." If
Mr Hush hsuo would take the tioultle of inquiring of any,
or all. of Ike practising Barristers at Quarter Sessions, they
would inform him that, instead of lessening litigation, it

Mr. F. Lewis proceeded to say, "That if the present Rill
