SUNDAY DINNERS TO THE JUDGES.

Sir C. S. HUNTER was induced to submit a motion to the
Court on the subject of the practice of entertaining the Judges
in the City on the first Sunday in Trinity Term. Upon the
last occasion the dinner had been given at Fishmongers' Hall,
and a great offence had been there given to the Sabbath of
Almighty God, so that the newspapers alluded to it in terms
of reprobation. Sir C. S. Hunter submitted a motion recom-
mendatory of altering the day of entertaining the Judges.
The question was then carried.
After some business of no public interest, the Celia adjourned
