The Loan Cusecetton gave judgment, this I

yesterday, in this cause.
It came hetote the C.surt, upon exceptions to

Mr. M'N imai a n rw made a speech to the Court
io person, which we cannot with propriety detail,
as it was stated by Sir Save:co Rossi Lev, that he
..vonlaf make no rt.ply to a spzeth of that kind, com-

orth.r. Ile said tee perceived the °lie& of that
speech, as he saw before him Mr. Farquharson
taking notes of it, be supposed for the News;papert,
and he thnazht it unfair that it should appear in
them as a kills of extra-fnrensic matter, and he
wished it may not appear in any of the New

Nlt• Farquharson rose, and assured the Lord
Chancellor, tiler since his Lordship last came to
preside in that Court, he never took no:es for any
Newspaper.
Mr. M.Narnara said, he hoped hi! Lordihip
would not oppose the freedom of the ;+r-ss. or hin-
der him from publishing his case, when it should be
finally over, in vindication of Lis char. ifter.
The Lnsn Cll.ll4Cfl I 00t ssid, Ito con:1 only de-
cide upon cases brought hr- before him ; he
could no: inquire into the motives of persons taking
notes in this Court ; hut if they made an: incorreff
or unwarrantable use of them afterwards, and ar
plicstion shonha be made to him here, he would
punish, he did not wish to say, with severity, but
he would punish, he trusted, with fitmness.
