Mr. GASSOW fisted, that the defendant was in
euilody for a contempt ; and the coils occafioned
by the fingular obilinacy of this man were now
enormous.—Mr.Serjeant StIEPHIILD was his Conn-
fel at the affixes, where he had an atlion of ejeer-
3:rent brought againfi him ; and having no de-
fence, a verdia, of courfe, went againfi him. He
refuted to deliver up poiretEon of the land, which
was the fubjed of this aftion. The plaintiff, with
unexampled liberality, had forgiven him all the
coils, and had made him a prefent of sot.
Mr. Juilice LAWILENCI, Mr. Eames. aad Mr.
.GAIROVI, took great pains to fatisfy this man rf
his error. His Lordfhip told him, that if he would
not give up the poffeffion, the plaintiff would en-
ter up his verditt, and take out execution, by which
he' would be compelled to give up the poffeffion ;
and as be had not obferved the agreement entered
into between him and the plaintiff, the plaintiff
would be entitled to all his coils, and alto to re-
cover
back his aol.
Lord Etianaolouisu raid, the plaintiff would
go on to complete his writ of pottellion. This
man, in the mean time, mull remain in cuilody.
The Court would then confider, whether this con.
tempt deferred airy farther notice ? His Lordthip
ordered him to be brought up the lall day of the
term, and hoped that fomebody would be kinder
to him than he was to himfelf.
