make his pi oissised inoti tttt for a Ht`,A tend, which was
tinkled as the hist case; but owing to Mr. Pearson, Mr.
Hunt's solicitor, not being in attendance, Ilse case of the
Eat! of Darnley against Hobert Bligh, Esti. occupied
the attention of the Cossit.
A few ini tttt tes bettor twelve o'clock Mr. Hunt entered

bound, sender his aim. Upon bowing to theft Lordship.,
the rest of the defendants, Johnson, Healy, and Bans.
ford, were called, and appeased also on the floor with
Mr. Hunt ; when !lie latter addressed the Court in the
following woods:—

" To move for a tide to shrw cause why the verdict in
this cause should not be set aside ; and why a verdict or
Not Guilty Am& not lie entered upon the record ; or to
chew cause why a new trial should not he wanted."
The Lord Chief Justice.—Mr Hunt, you had better
state to the Cowl uu what points you move 14 a flea
trial, in older that each of them may receive a distinct
emeddetation.

Hnot.—My Lot I. the following are the points,
which I will now read to the Court:—

I. Misapprehension of the Judge, for rejecting evi-
dence which ought to have been received
2. For admitting evidence which oa zlit to have been
rejected.
3. Misdirection of the Judge to the Jury.
4. That the Jury gave a verdict culinary to the three-
thin of the Judge.
Mr. Hunt also alluded to certain Resollitions which had
been passed in Smithfield, not being admitted t and like-
wise in admitting evidence in some instances which ought
not to have been received ; and iii other cases, rejecting
of evidence where it should have been heard, particularly
respecting the training at White moss.
The Lord Chief Justice.—Mr. Hunt, it would be im-
possible tor the Court to forin any opinion till they hear
the whole of the evidence read t 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 sante
rights.
Mr. Scarlett here addressed the Court, observing, that
as he (Mr. Scarlett) was connected with this trial, he
entreated the Court that be might have the assistance of
the Attorney-General, and who was so occupied at the
present moment with his imperative ditties, that perhaps
it might be impossible for that great Law officer to at-
tend on Monday next.
The Lord ChiefJustiee.—Well, Mr. Scarlett, that will
be seen ; and if such is the case, and good reasons are
assigned for it, another day may be appointed; but it
must stand for Monday at present.
Mr. hope I shall hear the evidence read, as I
have several remarks to make upon it.

The Lord ChiefJustice.—Certainly.
Mr. Hunt.—My Lord, all of the parties arc now here,
and if your Lordship could appoint an earlier day,

Lord ChiefJustice.—.Mr.Hunt, I cannot alter the day ;
it is impossible, it i. never done. I cannot nrcak through
the forms and regulation. of the Court.—(This was said
by his Lordship with great courtesy and good humour.)—
Therefore, Mr. Hunt, you will observe, on Monday
next. _ _ .
