most ample provision. Two Surveyors had heirt

the present was a case in which he ought to intstfere
or dissolve the injunction which hadletn obtair

GLOUCESTER ASSAEL
Mr. WATIIEX, the Under;Sheff Ibr this Cou•

the SOLICITOR GENERAL, was of opinion that a
Commission must be issued. His Lordship, howevet
intimated an intention to consider the subject further,
and if he fopnd any reason to come to a different
conclusion, to write by post to the Judges. In cor
sequence of this communication, a notice was affix=
ed to the door of the Court-house, and in various
parts of Gloucester, announcing that no business
would be done in either Court until one o'clock,
viously to which time the mail was expecte.%
On the arrival of the mail, a messenger was
readiness to receive any dispatch Which might h:
been scut. A letter. was received, and Immediate
conveytd to the Judges, soon after which the follow.:
ing notice was substituted for that which we h;
already described: Gkr:re re:, AeT et IS, It

A new Cominission is to be issued forthwith,
the business of the Assize stands over to a flat
period. To persons engaged in civil actions, f
the ndditilnal exper,se sv7uch must be incurred,
is a matter or serious consideration; but to the Cr
prisoners, whn may have the means of eszahlisi
their innocence, it is a subject of more importa.
At one O'clock a niee:ing cf the An:sr:lies
Barristers took plate in the Nisi Prins Court, e
several questions ariiing out of the delay which
taken place were started. First it was asked, •
ther in the taxation of costs, the expenses incL
in attending this Assize would be allowed? II
was no positive opinion given upon this, alth•
the impression was, that as, in point of fact;
had been no Assize holden, no es; vises incurrei
der such circumstances would be allowed. It
uezt asked whether, in cases where notice of c,
terniand had been given for these Assizes, a
notice might be given under the new. Commis!
To this also the Counsel declined giving an opi
It was recommended in all cases, however, by
of precaution, that fresh notices of trial- shL
be given.
Mr. JERVIS now addressed the Gentlemen present,
and observed, that in the unfortunate situation •
which they were placed, it became necessary to
tide what comme it would he prudent to take •
regard to the causes which had been entered for
There were two modes of proceeding—eitlit
make the whole of the causes remanets, to stand
to the Lent Assize; or to try them under the
Commission, which would no doubt be immedi.
issued. Mr. Baron Garrow was about to set off
London instantly, and on his arrival would h:
conference with the Lord Chancellor. It was i
native to lose no time in discharging the Gaol,
in all probability the new Commission woo'
sealed on Monday. If this were the case, the ,
mission would be opened on the Monday fortni,
following. The Judges would come into Glour
on Monday evening, and, after attending Divine
vice, on the Tuesday would commence business

could not, and ought not to be entered into.
Some Gentlemen here said, that it was desr
that their causes should be tried with as mud
patch as possible. This being the case, Mr.
vis said it was impossible to advise delay.
Learned Gentleman further observed, that hos
painful the accidental postponement of the A
might be, it was satisfactory to know, that
was not the slightest blame attributable to Ms.
Darrow, who had certainly done all within the

Some of the Attornies then asked, whether
freshers were to be given where Briefs had

Mr. DAVNCET said that was a matter entire;
their own conlideration; but he thought the;
ought to be equal participators in the inconven
which was to be encountered, an inconve:
which was certainly unavoidable.
The meeting then broke up. In the course
