MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The Court sat by adjournment this morning at the Guild."(
hall, Westminster, for the purpose of hearing the cases °f
felony remaining undisposed at Hicks's Hall yesterday
evening, and also for the disposal of the bail cases.
Mr. BALLANTINE appeared on behalf of Major Beniowski"
and said he was surprised at the application which had Joan
made on last Tuesday, in the absence of himself (mr.
tine), and the defendant or his solicitor, and without tbe
slightest communication being made to any one of thel%
Mr. Beniowski had had reasons inducing him to change his
solicitor, and he (Mr. Ballantine) was now prepared with al
affidavit from Mr. Jackson, his present solicitor, in which
was stated that further postponement, except it would be
extended over the 27th of May, would be ruinous to the (lei
Pendant, owing to the circumstances of his being at pre,sureli
engaged in the perfection of certain patents, and he ('
Ballantine) now applied to the Court to have the case tall
either at the present sitting or adjourned to the 27th of Ileic
May. g
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, after adverting to Mr. Clarkso;
application on Tuesday, and the statement made by Atli.
Boniowski yesterday, said it struck him as rather singl! r
that no intimation had been conveyed to Major Beniowski es,
his attorney by the opposite parties, and this surprise
the greater, for the affidavit of the solicitor stated that
had called upon Major Beniowski with the result of his In
quiries at the Court on Tuesday evening. He (the Lea'l; to
Judge) had ordered that information should be conveyed if
the defendant and his solicitor as to postponing the caset.,g
no application was made to the contrary by the defendr'n
before this day, but if the attorney had made an applicatigr..
to the Court directly on Tuesday evening, instead of in 4,1.1,1
ingot one of the officers of the Court, no misapprehen°,
would have arisen. He could not think of granting tin the
plication allowing a charge like this to stand over trom
26th of March to the Ist of June, it must be taken at 50"0
more immediate sitting, and it had been already ordered
come on on the Bth of April. ;
Mr. BALLANTINE thought when his client had been .13 cot
tendance for two sessions ready to take his trial, it wag Tr be
unfair to postpone it. He (Mr. Ballantine) should n°l'
able to be present on Thursday, so that Major genioso
will have to defend himself on that day.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—WeII, then, let it come oil °I3
the 22d.
Major Beniowski, who occupied a seat behind his count
said, " No, no, no, my Lord, that day would not at
suit me."•
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—The case must stand, a-
.
ously arranged, for the Bth of April.
