HOZRESON V. LORD COCHRANE.
When this case was called on, Mr.Tusastostt applied
that it m;ght be postponed, on accoubt of the absence of
Mr. William Bennett etephenum, who was a necessary
and material evidence for the defence.

Mr. F. POLLOCK, for the plaintiff, had no objection to
the postponement provided the amount sought to be
recovered were now paid into Court, to abide the event
of the ttiel._ _

Mr. TH E ssto ER —The bail will have to pay if loofd
Cochrane does not.

Mr. F. POLLOCK—Yes, but the defendant is now
abroad, and events may happen which would either al-
together exonerate him from the action, or at all events
Would render.it very difficult to come at him.
The Loan CHIEF BAROII-3‘llo are Lord Cochrane%
bail to this action ?
Mr. BRCUGHAM —Sir Francis Burdett, my Lord, and
Mr. Ricardo.—The Learned Gentleman offered to Teter
the whole case to an arbitrator as soon as Mr. Stephenson
should arrive in England.
Mr. P. LL• CK avid that if he acceded to this proposi-
tion a fresh delay of seven months might occur; but
if the bail would undertake to pay the money, or if it
were paid into Court, he had no objection to grant the
postponement which had been required.
Mi. Ba'►t,oHAM objected to these terms.
The Loan Curse Balton did not think that be ought
Loins; off the trial peremptorily until the next sittings,
but he would allow some further time for the arrival of
• Mr. Stephenson.
Is was afterwards arranged for the present that the
trial should come on some day just before the rising of
•the Court for the holidays, and that the defendant
should pay the coats of this postponement.
