The I.ORD CHANCELLOR thought the Petition deserving
of attention, and proixred, as the most eligible mode of proceed-
ing, a course analogotus to that adopted by tl.eir Lordships in
examining whether petitions in cases of writs of error, may not
be for purposes of undue delay ? He should therefore move that
the Petition be referred to a Committee, on which the Agents
of both parties, and the Proctors employed in the Ecclesiastical
Court upon the case, should attend, as the best mode for aster.
raining the merits of the ?Alarm.

guilty of the citric laid Us his charge, he would be the last per-
snn to &mad forward in his detente; but, unfortunately for
