pared with an affidavit in reply, which be wib.l

to submit.
Mr. Justice Blackburn—Read it by all means',
Mr. Sergeant Glover then read an affidavit, etT
which the following is a copy, only those passages:
having reference to his transactions with Mr. Rose,
his late solicitor, being omitted :—" I, William
Glover, of 58, Burton-crescent, in the county of
Middlesex, sergeant-at-law, make oath and say:
That I have read with great surprise an affidavit
dated March 2, 1863, and purporting to have beeU
made by William Henry Cotterill, attorney for the
defendants, and which affidavit contains several
statements utterly unfounded in fact and truth.
That on or about the 6th of Jan. I saw and read,
at the office of my then attorney, Mr. Rose, the
order for the commission, made and signed by Mr-
Justice Wightman, on the 23d Dec., 1862 ; also a;
draft of the commission drawn in pursuance of the
said order, and I then, or immediately afterwards,
informed my attorney that I was satisfied with such
drP ft, and desired the commission to be drawn up
as soon as possible, in accordance therewith. That
on or about the 7th of January, Mr. Rose having
written to me about the defendant's attorney
wishing to add a Mr. Powles as joint commis-
sioner with Mr. Pickford, I objected on the
ground that I merely had one Commissioner.
That Mr. Pickford, an official gentleman of high
position in Paris, bad been selected by the attorney
for the defendants several months previously, upon
some personal grounds from what I had heard, and
was induced to believe, respecting Mr. Powles.
That I was totally unaware of any of the matters
relating to the postponement of the commission,
mentioned in the defendants' affidavits, until I re-
ceived letters while at Paris from Mr. Rose. (Let-
ters inserted.) That in reference to the paragraph
about plaintiff having been in Paris, I told my late
attorney, previous to my departure from London,
that I was About proceeding to Paris in order to at-
tend the commission which, from the judicial order
already mentioned, I verily believed was to have
commenced its sittings about the 12th of January'
or immediately after; and being so convinced, I
wrote from London to Mr. Pickford, one of the com-
missioners mentioned, hoping that he would not
begin the commission until about the 15th of Jane,
as I was then collecting more documentary evidence,
among which I forwarded files from the Morning
Chronicle for the years 1857 and 1858, which ar-
rived in Paris on the 13th of January, and which I
intended to use upon the examination of the defen-
dants in this action. I say with respect to some
averments in the affidavit of W. H. Cotterell,
treat such with the utmost scorn and contempt,
especially where he expresses an opinion about
events which happened several hundred miles frota
where I am informed he was then absent; and
say that the high authority in Paris to whom I 14-
luded in my former affidavit, was her Britannic
Majesty's Ambassador, the Earl Cowley, to
whom I wrote a letter dated Feb. 3d, detailing the
outrage perpetrated upon me, and afterwards men-
tioned other facts relative thereto, at an interview
with his Excellency. I say that it is most necessary
for English justice being administered in this cause,
by a trial at the earliest possible opportunity, since
the, plaintiff has been informed that attempts are nowbeing made with the knowledge and concurrence of
the defendants to tamper with some witnesses ; and
while I was at Paris I was informed that, by the
connivance of the defendants and their friends, one
gentleman, who had mentioned most important facto
to the plaintiff, and who would have given valuable
evidence on the part of the plaintiff, was spirited
away and sent to America since the commencement
of this action, in order to prevent him giving such
testimony."
Mr. Justice Blackburn said he did not see what
legal ground had been shown for rescinding the
order. The full Court at Westminster might do It
on application, but it was not the practice of °judge
at chambers to interfere with an order made by
judge having equal authority with himself.
Mr. Sergeant Glover said there was an exactly
similar order made by Mr. Justice Crompton re:
specting M. Billault, which the Court of Queen.°
Bench afterwards rescinded, which order he cool;
dered must have been obtained from the learned
judge by a mis-statement of facts.
Mr. Justice Blackburn said he must decline to
interfere with Mr. Justice Crompton's order.
Mr. Hodgson applied for costs.
Mr. Justice Blackburn said there was no order
fit for counsel. The costs must be coats in the cause'
