Sir P. LAURIE hoped there were very few. He knew
there were one or two where the prosecution would not go
on, but it was very desirable that the cases brought for-
ward daring the week should be concluded on a Saturday,
because it was one of the charges against the Aldermen
that the person who heard the second part of a case did not
know what had taken place previously.

which were brought forward during the week would termi-
nate on a Saturday.
