Two respeeleble householders appeared to give bail before
the Lord Mayor, epos an attachment la the Lord Mayor'e
Court, when *question arose of great importance upon the
subject of the bail admissible in that Court.
Mr. Andrews attended•se Counsel fur the Plaintiff. It ap-
peased that properly to a rossiderable amuses, belonging to
a penes in the West ladies, bad bees attached In the City.
The Defendant's wife, who is now in Prance, gave authority
to a Solicitor to defend the action and put iii bail to the at.
taehment, lied he accordingly now brought forward the bail.
Mr. Andrews examined them at considerable length as to
their validity, which they established fully to the aatisfactio•
of the Lord Mayor ; but it appeared that they hail no know.
ledge whatever of the Defendant, nor any authority from him
to put is bail. They bad come forward solely to oblige the
Defendants Solicitor, ow his promising to hear them hars-
let.. They neither knew the Defeat nor his connexion..
Mr. Andrews, I. a loss speech, contended, that tbie bail
was inadmissible; and that where the bail came without
the knowledge or authority of the principal it could not be
received.
The Lord Mayor was inclined le decide according to the
general practice of the Court which was favourable to the
admiesiou of such bail; bat at the request of the profetsional
Gentlemen on bath aides, big Lordship postponed the ease for
a further bearing, when Counsel will attend on both sides to
arise the point at length.

received. That capital was not at that time iu
