enforced until next term, during which period Mr Muloch
Would have an opportunity of reflecting upon his POSi' `kn. At that time he should be quite ready to hear
any statement that might be made for the reduc-

luloch did anything to the prejudice of Mrs Chetwynd
he would be liable to a further fine or imprisonment.
