forcible and • effedive manner, without aiming a(
critical niceties. The Audience seemed to be very

'slue% solid merit, though it had nothing of .strik.:-

L ATP' REPOrd.

.0-1:111.1`', OF KING'i BENCH, z 6.,

Mr. Serjeant COCISEL moved.for leave to file a
criminal Information, against a Gentleman of the
name of Lister, who resided at Scarborough, for his
'conduit -towards a Gentleman in the:same town, of.
the ►fame of Woodal, a person of character, arid a Soli..
citor. Both parties were stated to be very respectable
persons, and the difference arose between them upcin
the mode in which Mr.' Lister., Was' 'to'pay for an
estate whiCh he had purchased,. and .which Mr.
'Woodal had sold to him as a trustee, &c: -Mr.
Lister having offered to pay
.in Notes, payable at
different 'Country Bankers, and .Mr.-Woodal-re.
quiring Bank of .England Notes, or Mr. 'Litter's
own Notes, payable imMediately, to save the
trouble of presenting them at the ditfertYnt Banking
HoUses in the parts of the Country where the Notes
offered by Mr.. Lister were made payable; on which
Mr.Lititer conceived 'his honour doubted, and warm
language .took . place, and something like a 'chal-
lenge. The Title Deeds were' not delivered
.up as expelled .by the : Purchaser. , The mat-
ter .was then dropt between the Parties, until
Mr. Woodal wrote to Mr.. Lister, . stating, that
he expeaed an 'apology:from Mr. Lister for his
miscondua, and saying, if it was not.made, he
shpuld introduce Mr, Lister to the Court of King's
Bench. To which Mr. Lister returned for an_
swerobat he was astonished at 'the .proposal, and
that: he thought Mr. Woodal Would, on refleaion,
be 'astonished at it himself ;
.and. insisting . that the
apology ought to have come from the person who
demanded it, &c. :—that if.be, Mr. 'Lister, had
done any thing, amiss,
.he would be' ready to make
an apology for it, but insisted on it that he ought
not to be the first, &c. . . „ . .

Mr. Justice LAWRINQE, who was :she only
Judge in Court when the first part of .the Case was
.stated, having communicated it to his Lordship
and the other Judges, observed to, the Leained
Serjeant, that he had related the Case to my Lord
and the other Judges,,and they agreed with
.him in
thinking that Mr. Serjeant Cocxt LL's Client re-
newed th,e. dispute himself, by his last, Letter, and-
thrtr,hut for such renewal,, the whole matter would
have been at rest, and therefore this Motion should
.not, be granted.' ,
. .
Lord ELIANBOROUGH--." This is entering con-
tinuances ort'an old expired affront."
Motion roltised.'
