IN THE CASE OF DYCE SOMBRE, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC.
Mr. ROLT, at the sitting of the Court this morning, said he
was instructed to make an application to his Lordship on the

siding in Paris since the matter bad been before the court,
and he was very anxious that the question involved in his
petition, for the supersedeas of the commission, should be
disposed of; he had therefore instructed him (Mr. Rolt)
humbly to request of his Lordship that he would give his
judgment on an early day.
The LoaD CHANCELLOR intimated that he would dispose
of the case shortly.
