Mr. Justice BAYLVIr said, that the parties might

them, any thing contained in the affidavit notwith-
standing. The instructions to act for throe might
not be intended to reach to all the proceedings.

triable contradiction.

that " the circomstatices looked very sut.piciuns."
Attar a lapse of two hour*, Mr. Hunt returned

end Om wr!tlen convent of all the parties, except
Kniftlit ; but some material erasures split-wing in
the former, the CookT granted further time for
Dunn to make an stfichsvit explanatory of that cir-
cumstance.

Mr. Hula said, he would take advantage of their
Lordships indulgence, and remold reek Dunes who,
;me feared, after having travelled fcer hundred miler,
and supposing his business done, might be retired
to bed. He must he allowed to say, that on the
pert of the Attorney-General there hed hetes a great
deal of special pleading. After being absent half
'an hour, he returned and put in Dusin's emended
druiavit, in which it was sworn, that the cont►nts
were in the same state as when taken by him from
London, end that the erasure* were in the same state
now as when signed by the individuals. Mr. Hunt
put in an effiAgvit to the same effect.

The AreonvoT-Gexto.o, then proceeded to
-hew cause against the rule obtained by Nlr. Hunt,
on the ground that the consent of the parties hail
loot been obtained in the terms of the ride the Court
had granted. The defetithiuds here only consented
to apply in remove the trial into Yoikshire or Nlid-
dlesex. The terms of the rule were, that they
should consent to remove it into any county the
Court might think proper to appoint. fie also Cut,.
tended, that there was no proof on the affidavit of
Mr. Pennon that he had authority to consent for the
re.t of the defendants. Amttlier objection wit., the
lateness of the present application, which, if grant-
ed, most have the of of carrying the trial over
to the next Assizes. lie contended, that at present
there was no consent to the present rule being made
absolute. With respect to the application
he submitted, that no ground bad been !aid for it
to afford grounds fur removing a trial ; facts going to
shear that a fair trial could not be hind in the county
where the offence was cui 1111 l ;tied ; whereas. in the
uremia case, nothing was stated but belief that pre-
judices had been excited, and that a fair jury could
not be obtained. Could this be heheved, when
it was stated that the lists of persons qualified to
4erve as jurors in the county of Lance.ter amount-
ed to upwards of 8.700 ? Under all the meow-
.tances, he contended the rule moat fall to the
ground.
The SouctToa-GestELIAL followed on the same
side.

Mr. Csitrir supported the role on behalf of
Johnson and the other Defendants, and contended
that she consents were sufficient. He deemed that
.t was unnecessary to state factsshessing prejudice ;
but if it were. he contended bete were sufficient
(acts stated to sheer ■ prejudice existing. As to de-
lay, the Court, in granting the certiorari, would
take care to impose such terms as should prevent
delay.
Mr. Hunt rebutted the chargeof delay. The first
application was made by Mr. Chitty on the serum'
•tat of Term : that application WWI utisuccesaful,
