another of the name of Raganti. who when I went to his shop
sometime to buy snuff or something of that kind told me—
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here interposed, and
objected to the answer being concluded.
Earl GREY observed, that in his opinion, the
regular way would be to hear the answer to the
question which had been permitted to be, put
first, and then for the Attorney-General to state
his objection.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that in .his
own justification he should only call back their
Lordships' recollection to a former part of these
proceedings, when a witness happened, in giving
au answer, to say " I imagine," and was Imo-
ceeding to follow it up, when he was stopped by
Mr. Brougham, who said we can admit nothing
as evidence from the imagination. On that oc-
casion the Lord Chancellor stopped the witness
from conchiding his answer. The objection he
had now to make, and the course he had now
taken, -were of precisely the same description ;
and he humbly presumed he had reason for so
doing, inasmuch as their Lordships had already
reognised and sanctioned a precedent for it.
The witness had stated that Raganti applied to
him, but when he was about to detail what Rja-
ganti had told him, it was plain that it could not
be evidence, and therefore, with a ,view to pre-
vent it coming on their Lordships' minutes, he
had taken the liberty to interrupt the witness.
He repeated, in his own justification, that he
stopped the witness in order to prevent that com-
ing on their Lordships' notes which was not
evidence.
At the instance of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the
preceding question and answer were read over by
the Short-hand Writer.

The LORD CHANCELLOR.—Mr. Solicitor, have
you -any thing to say in support of this objection ?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL.—AII my objection
to this testimony is, that Itaganti is a stranger to
all this; for he is in no way before the Court.—
Personally, my Lords, I have no objection to any
evidence. Appearing here by order of your
Lordships to support the allegations of this
it is my duty, in conjunctio❑ with my Learned
Colleague, to point out such testimony as may be
objectionable in a legal point of view. Having
done this we have discharged our duty. What
remains is for your Lord Ships.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, it was com-
petent to any Noble Lord who was of opinion
that a hasty or wrong decision had been• Come to
in the former case, whiCh .had been cited, to call
for a discussion on the subject at present. Mean-
while he hoped it would meet their Lordships'
approbation, that he should call Upon her Ma-
jesty's Counsel to argue against the grounds urged
in support of the objection.
Mr. BhotionAm declared that he should have
been perfectly satisfied to have left to their
Lordships the fate of his Learned Friend's objec-
tion, without any interference on his part. The
evidence -as touching .Raganti, their Lordships
would find in page 410 ; what-was the nature of
the evidence which was afterwards given, and
which had been noticed that day, would be
