EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CIfIEF BARON has been sitting in Gray's
Inn-hall since Saturday, on the case of Small v. Attwood.
This is now the sixth day that it has occupied, and the
plaintiff's case is not yet finished. The attention of his Lord-
ship is now being drawn to the depositions of witnesses,
which go to the alleged fraud on the part of the defendant,
with respect to the cost of making iron stone, in which
there is nothing interesting to the public.
