him, placed it the hands of his solicitor, Mr. John Roberts, of
street, Soho-square, the person against whom this applies,
tion was made, to enforce thepayment of it from the acceptor Good,
Mr. G., on receiving an intimation that the bill was in the hands of
Roberts, waited upon that person between nine and ten o'clock
on the 28th of Oct, last, and tendered hint the amount of the bill ;
but Roberts demanded two guineas] over and above that sum.—
Mr. Good, with some surprise, asked what in the name of won-
der these two guineas could be for ? " Oh," replied Mr. Ito
harts, " for a writ I have issued against you on the bill."—" A
writ issued already against me!" said Mr. Good; let sue see
it."—" No," said Mr. Roberts, "there is no necessity for that;
it is enough to tell yeu that I have issued the writ, and there is
the affidavit of debt upon which it was issued," (pointing to a
paper that lay on his desk.) Mr. Good begged to be allowed
even to read the affidavit, and see by whom it was sworn, but
this, Robarts said, he could not permit either, and instantly lock-
ed the paper in question up in his desk. "Now, your Lordships
will see," said Mr. Brougham, "that this paper voieted to by
Roberts could be no affidavit on the subject at all, because, if any
were sworn at the time, and a writ issued upon it, that affidavit
must, as your Lordships well know, have been tiled at the proper
office—namely the bill of Middlesex office, instead of being lock-
ed up in the desk of Air. Roberts." Mr. Good remonstrated
still against the payment of the two guineas, without wing either
writ or affidavit of debt; but Robarts replied, that he (Good)
might skein himself very fortunate that he had not been ar-
rested, and that two writs had not been: issued instead of one ;
because," said he, "you know that we attornies, when we
get hold of a thing of this sort, generally make the most we
can of it." 'Under these circumstances; Mr. Good had no alterna-
tive but to pay the additional two guineas, and get up his bill, which
he accordingly did. In the course of the same day Mr. Good
happened to mention the transaction to his solicitor, Air. Hodgson;
and this latter gentleman seeing at once that such a proceeding
could neither be regular or proper, went, accompanied by Mr.
Good, to the bill of Middlesexnffice to ascertain if any writ had
really been issued, or any affidavit of debt at all filed. On mAing
the necessary inquiry of Mr. Roady, the clerk at that office, he
(Mr. Brougham) was sorry to observe that the facilities that were
expected, and ought to have been given, were not afforded to Mr.
Hodgson and Mr. Good; but in the end, they learned that an
affidavit was filed upon the subject, sworn by Mr. Robarts him-
self. It was also to be particularly observed, that Mr. Good had
paid the money, and got up his bill, on the very day on withal
this affidavit bears date, and at an hour of the Morning on which
the bill of Middlesex office was not open, and consequently this
affidavit could not have been filLsl.

Mr. Justice BATLLY—Mr. Brougham, you had better call
upon Mr. Boady to make an affidavit of what hour the office
opened on the morning in question, and as to any other particu-
lars he may know relating to this transaction, and than mention
the case to us again.
Mr. BROUGHAM---I shall, my Lord ; and perhaps, after what
has fallen from your Lordship, Mr. Boady will not be indisposed
to tell us all lw knows about the matter.

feet the validity of the will, although the fact of chow difference;
was important. ,

The COURT considered the declarations of the subscribing wit-
nesses highly important, and therefore admitted them, but that
part of the allegation which related to the widow's sending nut a
person to learn what was said abroad concerning the will, the
Court conceived might be excluded without injury to any of the
parties.
