R. Smith and about ten others. who, according to
his belief, ucted in concert • that the resolutions
were carried by a majority of 3or 4,000 persons :
that he did not address Mr. Hunt in any familiar
language, not being on such t•yruisof familiarity with
that Gentleman as would warrant it; that he took
off his gown because he conceived himself not to

alleged, in a violent manner; that he did not use any
unbecoming words or gestures to the Common Ser-

' Mr. BROUGHAM then commenced shelving cause
against the rule, on behalf of Mr. Thomson. hut
when he had been a short time speaking, he was
interrupted by '
The Cuter JUSTICI, who said that he was
extremely unwilling to break in upon his argu-
ment, but that Mr. Justice Holroyd was cotnpelled
to go to another place, and that he felt himself
obliged to call upon the Gentlemen of the bar to
know what motions they had to make.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, it would be a matter of
great convenience to know what day their Lord-
ships would take the case again. He supposed, of
course, it would not he till next Term.
The CHIEF Junius was assenting to the last
Part of the 'intervenor,. when
Mr. Hunt stood up and said, " My Lord, may
I ink, if this is not a Court of criminal jurispru-

The CHIEF JUSTICE—." It ia.Sir."
Mr. Hunt—" Then I hope, my Lord, that this
case will have the preference."

Mr. BROUGHAM observed that it would be of no
manner of use to devote two or three hours only to
the case.
Mr. ScsusErr said it would have given the
parties great pleasure to have the cause decided this
Term, but that it now appeared impracticable.

The CHIEF JUSTICE—" Probably yeti wish to
have the question of right decided."
Mr. Hunt having here risen again,
The CHIEF JUSTICE said—" You, Sir, have
mode your observations."
Mr. Hunt—" No, my LA. I have not made
the observation I wished. What I wished to say is,
that when it comes to my turu to tirguP, I shall
merely chew that I did not join in auy conspiracy."
Mr. BROUGHAM supposed he might conclude
that the cause would stand over till next Term.
The CHIEF JUSTIRR—" I believe all parties
would consider it convenient."
