defter which ought to have heel, received
2. For admitting evidence which tight to have been
rejected.
3. Misdirection of the Judge to the Jury.
4. That the Jury gave a verdict contrary to the direc.
don of the Judge.
Ali.. Hunt also alluded to certain Resolutions which had
been passed in Sitiitlitield, not being admitted t and like-
wise in admitting evidence in sonic instances which ought
not to have been received ; and in other cases, rejecting
of evidence where it should base been heard, particularly
respecting the training at White moss.
The Lord Chief Justice.—Mr. Hunt, it would be im-
possible for the Court to form any opinion till they hear
the whole of the evidence read ; and, therefore, the bet-
ter able to accomplish that circumstance, this motion
must stand over till next Monday. The parties will then
stand exactly as they do now, and possess the same
rights.

as he (Mr. Scarfed) was connected with this trial, he
entreated the Court that Its might have the assistance of
the Attorney-General, and who was so occupied at the
present moment with his imperative duties, that perhaps
it might be impossible for that great Law officer to at-
tend on Monday next.
The Lurd ChiefJustire.—Well, Mr. Scatted, that will
be seen; and if such is the case, and good reasons are
assigned for it, another day may be appointed; but it

Mr. Hunt.—l hope I shall hear the evidence read, as I
have several remarks to make upon it.

The Lora ChiefJostice.—Ceriainly.
Mr. Hunt.—My Lord, ail of the parties arc now here,
and if your Lord.hip could appoint an earlier day,

Lord ChiefJustice.—Mr.Hunt, I cannot alter the day ;
it is impossible, it never done. I cannot hrrak through
the forms and regulations of the Court.—(This was -aid
by his Lord:4op with great courtesy and good humour.)--
Therefore, Mr. Hunt, you will observe, on Monday
