MR. WOOLLERI3 CONVICTION.
At ti,c of the Court this miming.
-i;e Airoayn.-GaNriiiii. addressed the Court,

v...144..1, that in cs.nsequence of what passed yes.
upoll this case Ise tied reason to expect that
„,.11:otiosi would be submitted to the Court chic
Ull be!:alt et Mr. IVsoller. Being desirous of
the Court when such m-tion should be
~fie, he !pegged to be informed by the Gentleman
.2 appemed fur the defendant yesterday, whether
eve intended to make any motion ?
urt called upon Mr. Chitty to say whether
,v,s: in,tructed to make any motion.

C:IITTY—.• My Lords. I NM not instructed to
;lir any motion at all. I have not as yet received
vitt* uctirms."
The ArrotiKEY-GasznAL sAid. he was informed
(certaiiily nut by Mr. Chitty) that snme
Ition would be made this morning. If any Gen-
„DAT' be instructed to move, he (the Attur-
).(;torra'a) would be in attendance.
ELLIMieIIOUGUe. If any other Gentleman
it.formatoon upon the subject it would be coune.
as to communicate it to ihe Attorney• General. that
;may not be kept in unnecessary attendance."
Gentlehian ans*eting this call. the matter re-
,iurd as it did yesterday, the, order for the new trial

Willi; de Gone an. About half past two otelock,
k; Cuun having gone through the motions, and being
a up, n the peremptory paper, the Attorney-Ge-
r-al and Mr. Chitty entersd the Court. As gootilts
Attosney-General was • seated, Lord ELLvso-
tu called upon him to know if he would Move
thing ?

ATTORNIRY-GENERAL--11 My Lord, I am Rol
itouSle the Court with any motion myself, but I
t:a der it An d that Mr. Woollen has instructed Counsel
tj make a Motion on his part, if your Lordships will
teat

Mr. Currry then rose--" I am humbly to move
,3e Lordships, on behalf of the defendant, Thomas
laatfun Woolkr, who is now a prisoner in the
crag's Bench, and has not the power of appearing
hum your Lordships personally, that be may be
brought up upon such day as in the pleasure of the
Court they may think proper to appoint, for the put-
pae ot n oving foe a rule to sheW cause wby the entry
of the supposed verdict in this prosecution should not
be cancellid and vacated, and why the rule obtained
for granting a new trial should not be discharged.
By the rule of the Court such a motion must be heard
vain the first four &ys of term; and the object. of
the defendant in desiring this motion to be made is,
that is case the four days may lapse by the pressure
of business nest week, he may not be prejudiced by
rule of Coutt which requires the motion to be
Made wiihin the first four days."
Lord Ettasuouotion—.6 What is your motiot I"
Mr. CHITTY" My motion is, that he may be
brought up on any other day that your Lordships
may think tit to appoint, in order to move for a rule
ailing uplan the ptosecutors to thew cause why the
rnuy of the supposed verdict upon the record should
:at be vacated. The defendant is desirous of doing
this, upon an apprehension that this verdict is in truth
no verdict. It inigl.t be supposed (though the de-
fendant does noe'nour suggeat it) that the defendant
it n "lied 10.10$ githarAe 1 . but .10h Object w.dl berms
loorelharibis verdict be removed from the record,
ash now stands upon the puma, and that the prosecu-
tes miy, brordered to paisue such line of conduct
utile Court may think right for them to adopt."
Lord ELLassonhuoir...,, By awarding a versirifir.
nor & *evil, the Court do remove the verdict from
*email."

CUl?li._es That only applies, my Lord, to
nibs where there has been a verdict of the Jury ; but
is this case,. by an accident, there is no verdict. The
object which the defendant seeks is, that if he is again
bylaw to be put on his trial Joe may be tried by the
maw jury, it that can be effected. It a weirs de nave
istvarded, your Lordship it tware that that would
have a diffetent operation:"
After remaining in conttlitatioit with the other
Judges for some time,
Lord ELLINBOAOUGH said, we tannot at present
ccatemplate a day to be appointed for the purpose
taentiobed:

Mr. Cifirric--u The defendant only wishes for a
day most convenient to the Court. His only object
is to prevent
.his -befog prejudiced by not moving
within the first four days bt term. He is a close
prisoner, and. Consequently not able to attend per-
sonally to-day. Perhaps the Court will take that cir-
cumstance into their consideration."
Lord ELLIINEOROLIGH—" I'll thank you to state
distinctly what is the motion that, when he cornea up,
he is to make t"
Mr. Clurry..:.se The rtaotion is this—that be be
brought up on such a day as this honourable Court
pray appoint, in order that he may move, why the
tutry of the supposed verdict in this •prosecotion
should not be vacated, and why the rule obtained for
granting a new trial should not be discharged."
Lord ELLIWBOROUGO—" Rule ftrenesmeed."
• Mr. COITTY--" 1 hen rule pronounced, if your
Lordship pleases."
Lord Et.i.attboaotroir—s.“ That the rule pronouns
cud for granting a new trial should not be discharged."'
Mr. Catrtv." And that in case be they'd not be
brought up within the foar days of the term, then
that he should be at liberty to shake such motion to
this Court as by its practice ought to be made within
the first four days of Term."
Lord ELLIN'S/MUM—a' Then it is only that be
shall not be prejudiced by the lapse of the four days?"
The Court remained some time in consultation.
Lord Etteunottottou.--u It is quite unpoasible, in
tht present state business of the Court, that
bite should at thismoment appoint a day : but the
Court will order him to be brought up on as early a
dal as they conveniently can. If you bad moved
Coker to day, you might have brought him up to.
or if you had moved, yesterday."
Mr. Ciim.y.sig My Lord, I was not properly in-
structed iss any precise form of modem until now."
The ArrOXICZY-GENERAL.—" So far as relates to
the Prisoner's not being prejudiced by the lapse, of four
days, I can make no objection to the motion of the
Leaned Counsel. All that I would enter my pro-
test against is, its being understood that your Lord-
`AlN by granting this indulgence, is at all sanction-
itg any form of motion that has been stated."
Lot k.U.I4IBOJUMGII." By no means. We merely

say. that the lapse of the four days, which is tins-
'
voidable under the circumstances pointed at, shall
not prejudi..e the Defendant in not conforming to the
rule of Court. The motion, whatever it is, must stand
upon its own merits, and it mar be received or re.
j:cted as it may deserve to be."
