COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Tursowy,

Sittings at Nii; Prius after Hilary Term. at trestadiuter,before
the Loin) CIIIEF JUSTICE and a Special ✓ary.]

HAWKINS In HOWARD AND OHM&
Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, Oa the part of the defendant, applied
to the Court to have this cause postponed. on account of the de end-
ant not being in • of a certain deed relating to the estates
of his Grace the )take of Marlborough, which, the Learned Ser-
geant stated, was most material to the interests of his client. The
Learned Sergeant had a copy of the deed, but he understood the
original was en the Examiner's office.
An affidavit of the defendant Gibbs was put in and read by the'
officer. The deponent stated that he could not safely proceed to
trial without the production of the deed in question, and in the
absence of a person of the name of John George, who could not be'
found.
Mr. Sergeant %%wolfs?: was willing to proceed without the said',
I witness, but he could not venture to go on without the deed. If
his Learned Brother, Bosanquet, the Counsel on the other side,
would admit the c'py of the deed, the ease might proceed ; this,
however, Mr. Sergeant Bneenquet declined doing.
The LORD CHIT.T JUSTICE was about to put the case off on
the usual terms, viz the payment of costs, when
Mr: Sergeant VAUGHAN Intimated that an express had been
Isent for the Examiner, and he had reason to expect the deed in
abort time.
The whole of the Special Jury not answering to their names, 81r.
Sergeant VAUGHAN prayed a tales.
Mr. EvA es opened the pleadings.
Mr. sergeant BosAKCIU FT stated, that this was an action to re.
cover compensation ter money entrusted to them to lay out for the
plaintiff: The defendants, Howard and Gibbs, were well known
in Courts of Law. The learned Sergeant's client had vested some
I large sums of money in the hands of the deferdants to be laid out
in annuities, and it was their duty to do the best in their power for
I the interests of those who placed p;operty in their hands, and cer-
tainly not to prejudice them. Among others who applied to the
deferdants to raise money, was the Duke of Marlborough, when THE Cnastrtmcsnir.-31orday night bring tire tires a.
