to you end Inc. whether ae ever ran' or braid of
verihrt beisig given to place restrictions upon trade,

such evidence as has this's day appeared. Gentle-
men, wheiever the nature of the evidence may be
that comes before us, it is for me to state to you,
and it is your 'myelin* to judge of its value; but
for myself, 1 am sure that a claim similar to the
one slow before us, and set up and supported by
les. evidence than we have lied to-day, 1 never
knew. At the opening or the case, we were led to
believe that the Company was of very high anti-
quity, mid that such antiquity would be support-
ed by very ancient documents ; 1 therefore waited
very patiently for a considerable time that the De-
puty-Recorder of this most respectable town. who
had some distance to come, might appear and pro.
dace them ; but, Gentlemen, when he came and
produced the records of the Corporation. there was
a most miserable falling off; fur througliont the
whole there was but one single entry that it was
pretended related to this Company, and that
was in an order of precession of the Corporation,
where the words artficuns pictures occurred.—
Now if that entry hail enumerated the various
guilds of the town, together with their names
and the order they respectively took in the pro.
cession, it would have been a strong fact to
chew that sisch
.2 compimy was in existence at
that lime; but the words there found, means
bakers generally, and that they attended in this pro.
million, 'and except this single entry molt', there is '
no rot her evirlenee of its existence above three or four
veers beyond the trial of the Carpenters Company.
A hook certainly hail been attempted to be 'hewn in
evidence, brit even that, supplying it had been ad-
mitted, carried the antiquity of this Company no
higher than 1741. end in it there was nothing to
stew that they might not o century ago have en-
tered into an association among themselves, either
to afford relief to other persons of the trade, or for
the benefit ullll management of their busiiicss." lie
then commented gallon the evidence that had been
adduced, and told them, that iii order to support the
present action, it was .necessary to chew that the
Plaintiffs had existed as a Company regularly from
time immemorial. If they were of opinion that the
evidence was too light. then they would hod a ver-
dict for Defendant ; lint if they were of opinion that
the evidence was sutficurat to prove that they had
existed as a Company front time immemorial, in
that case they would find fur the Plaintiff,.
