z,.41;' REPORT:

COURT OF RING', BENCH, TcitpAra MiT q.

WliAitx%

The- ATTORNET GENERAL moved to iinake a
Rule iiiisp!tite:

Mr. GARROW S:Aid he was to shew CAise against
this Rule, which had been °Brained by Mr. Mar_
riot, and which was to slim tatise why all these
proceedings should riot be set aside for irregtflailty,
with costs to he paid by the Plaintiff; Mr. Robert
Holloway, or his Attorney Mr,. Patrick, and why
a Writ of Attachment should obi iSstfe.against the
Plaintiff and his Attorney,,fdrAntempt of Court,
by signing a judgnieni Afi er. :411Suie had been ob-
tained for staying the proceedings;
After Mr. GAR RO_W had proceeded a certainway
in sheaving cause, he said the Plaintiff's Attorney
had no notice of the Rule for staying proceedings
till after he had signed his Judgment ;.an3 he hail
repeatedly offered to Mr. Hodsoni the Defendant's
Attorney, to waive -that Judgment as having been
irregularly signed, and therefore thisappliCation to
the Court -could be made for no better reason than
for the enhancing of the costs) though it .niight be
made for a-worse one.

•Mr.Tionsosi declared that Mr. Patrick had ne-
ver offered to -Waive the Judgment; and he was
ready to snake affidavit to that tack.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL wished very much
that- this inquiry might be sifted, that it might
really be seen cvlm was.right and who wrong-in this
:Inisiness, and that the severe hand of the Law might
press Upon the guilty.
Lord KENYO.N said, this was a case that must
be'probed to the bottom. He was therefore very
much inclined to give Hodson an opportunity of
making an affidavit.
Mr. ERSKINE on the same side with the ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL said, he laid great stress on the
name of Robert HolloWay, as knowing every thing,
and as being acquainted with all the chicanery of
the profession.
Lozd, Kt NYON said, he shoal,' be very glad to
see this case on precise questions put to the parties.
Mt. Justice
.GRost said, there were pregnant
grounds'of suspicion, d,therebre it must stand
an. ..4
over, to give the Defendant's ttorney an oppor-
tunity of making an itffiday-ir.

Mr. ESPINASSE 1116Veir for a Mairdamms to be
issued, requiring the. COmMissioner's for regulating
.the concerns of the Thames ;u Severn Canal, to
say what compeniat.,on, in lieu 'of, Tythes, should
be made .the. Rev.: Mr,- Roskelly, by reason Of the
said. Canal intersedins a part of the land in the
parish comprising his living.
Lord I(E.NyoN observed, that he was as tender of
the Rights of the Church as any judge who had ever
presidA before him, hut he enniidered those Rights
to be best attended to when least pressed for. The
Aft granting • Indemnity ta.:Propric..tors, of Land,.
Where their property should be injured by naviga--
blecanals, did not say any.iltinc; of Cyrlies.-
