WHITESIDE—Yes, my Lord. When we found that we
ooV_d not obtain an inspection of the indictment, we served
cou'rte upon the Crown solicitor that we would apply to the

Clerk of the Crown, to permit us as a matter of course
tfLnisciect the document, but he refused. 'We then served
in7wi!o.tice upon the Crown solicitor, and filed this affidavit,
forth we positively swear that we make the application
