it had occurred to him that Learned -Counsel from thiisj $
might be in those appeals, and therefore that that sou' nig

heard of such a thing. What could be the object of 611
course, unless to scourge the estate? fr°°
Mr. JACOB believed there was a reason for it arisit'y
the retaining of Counsel. He did not suppose the course
t
had been under the advise of her solicitor.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—She appeared for him,
the same rule that she appeared for herself, also 8 Of
King's subjects might have appeared. Does anybody

the next of kin, and was instructed to consent to the Prt ecid
application—instructed by the same solicitors who instr"
Mr. Jacob.

Mr. JACOB said the Solicitors who instructed Lady 5:115,
ton had not always appeared for her, nor (1 of
understood him to say), appeared on the execuOldd'
the Commission, but only on the petitions before his fed
ship, and he hoped the Court would allow them tom_so

Sir Edward Sugden if he knew what course the Lord 1.,,,P,20

that having seen the Lord Chancellor, he un.derst"
from him that he would most probably sit the k who! a of neo

sit at Westminster. If that arrangement trespassed much to
the convenience of Gentlemen of the Bar who had answers At

the suggestion of his Honor, the best course to pursue wow
to make a general order, givincr, to parties who were ill the
situation situation he had referred to, of being deprived of the assist°
of their Counsel, in drawing their answers, in consequence of
