of the Opera-holm, that the Registrar myy he di-
rected in draw tip aO order for Mr. Bromley to en

Mr. MILL', the Pliiintifre Solicitor—,, When
we.applied to the Registrar for the order, the De.
fendant's then Solicitor, Mr. Doughty, objected
to the word beneficial supplied to the sums paid by
the treasurer fur the Use of the Opera-house, ut
expressed in the minutes penned by your Lordship,
mid wished to have the word necessary substituted
hir it, which the Registrar did not think himself
authorised to do. Mr. Doughty has ceased to be
the Otfendant's Solicitor, cud his preseot Solicitor
denies flirt! your Lordship ever made sod. an order.
IVe are not very particular as to the teems of the
order, but year Lordship dismissed Mr. Bromley
from the office of treasurer twelve mouths hack,
and lie has not been able to take up his vet., ) )) i-

Sir S. ROHILLY came into Court about half en
hour ufteramds,
The LORO CHANCELLOR-88 We have hail a
alight touch of the Opera-house, Sir Samuel, dat-
ing your absence."
Sir S. ItUDILLY—'B So I understand. my Lord.
Rut this is ate application made to your Lordship
as one of a matter of course, which is not the case,
for it is to get an order delivered by the Registrar,
which never was made by the Court. lu I:.ct it is
to get a sum of money allowed to the Plaintiff for
erecting dressing-rnoin4, winch has already been
refused by the nister by a side-winded motion."
Mr. MILLS—" That certainly is not the iiceit-
lion ; we disclaim it."
Sir S. ROMILLE—" Then if that is not the in-
telitiou—smil when Mr. Mills says it is not, I sin
bound to believe hint —if they have got such an
order from the Court, why don't they take it nut?"
The LORD CHANCELLOR-88 There is so h an
order in the Registrar's book. I penned the mi-
nutes myself."
Sir Salim. ROMILLY—" There is a circum-
stanceor some importance in the minutes ; it says,
that the Master shall pass the Treasurer's account
for all sums beneficially laid nut on the Opera-
house, we say, that it ought to be all sums neces-
sarily laid tint."
The LOAD CHANCELLOR-8' It is benefici.il in
the minutes. Even in the case of the Opera-hottsr,
it is hard to remember every thing that has passed
in it. Let the Registrar mike out the order ac-
cording to the minutes which I penned."
Motiuu granted.
