On the Loan UJANcELLon entering the Court
this mornity,
Mr. GouttLay began to address his Lordship,
by observing, that he had. an .affidavit which he
had, sworn yesterday.
The LORD CHANCELLOR. desired him to keep
it till he should give judgment, and then he
.would call for it; with respect to this matter,
some day must be fixed before,he could give
such judgment.
Mr. HART said he believed his. client was in
Court yesterday.
Mr. GOURLEY then said he had done his duty
in every respect. •
LORD CHANCELLOR.—And a great deal more,
I think, Mr. Gourley ; when I give judgment I
shall tell you my opinion of this case. I shall
not be indulgent to either party, but shall do
justice to both. Notwithstanding the abuse
that has been thrOwn out against me on both
sides, and likewise from several annoymous let-
ters, you must fix some other' day for this judg-
ment.

Mr. GOURLAY paid particular attention to his
Lordship's observations, and bowing to his Lord-
ship withdrew.

The VICE.CHANCELLOR will commence his
sittings on Thursday next. •

ried the two defendants, Strickland and Pass,
before a Magistrate, who told them they
had acted wrong, ordered the money to
be returned, and they to pay expellees.—
Cullet was the man who took the money.
Mr. Hawkes, a clerk to the Paving Committee,
said the 20s. was paid to him by the beadles,
who were very upright honest men.
Several inhabitants -proved that the greatest
danger to the passengers, was caused by horses
that were standing in the streets near the Re-
pository.

sisted the demand. The coachman, however,

hearing this day ; and in fact up to one o'clock
nothing else worth notice occurred.
