LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BRNO', NOV el.
TRIAL AT BAR—THIRD DAY
THE ZEICAITORS of JOSHUA ReWE V. BRENTON.

Wisen all their Lordships had t Aro their si ets on
it. Bench, and the I,ames of the Ju y being c4lled over,
Lord TRNTERDIIN ohm ved that from the time which
this trial bed already occupied, and which it is likely to
consume Weise it is finished, it would be almost im•
ro,sihle to try the other cause during the present Tet nt.
His Lordship therefore sugge,ted, that those persons
who were summoned on the Jury for that trial of ej.ct•
ment should be discharged from attending for the
present.
Mt. BROUGHAM fully coincided in his Lord-hip'.
suggestion, and conceived that the kittendance of the
wnties•es might he dispensed v. ith on the second trial,
by reithruing the JuLlge's nv.tes to be given in evidence.
This application arose from the extreme age of many
of t?.e svittiessts.

Sir J. SCA RLETT, in reply, said, in the absence of the
Attorney Lieneral he could not accede to his Learned
Friend's proposal. He had, however, no &Wm his col-
Itagues would afford every possible facility. As re-
garded the propriety sf permitting the evidence of the
second trial to be taken from the Judge's notes, he fully
acquiesced, as he was sure it would require a waggons
to remove the records from the Duchy of Lancaster to
this Court.
Lord TENTERDZN then discharged the Jury in at-
tendance in the case of Doe v. Brenton, informing them,
ac the same time that they should have sufficient notice
M hen their attendance would be required. His Lordship
then addressed the Attorney General, who had just en-
tered the Court, and infnimcd him of the nature of Mr.
ntigh rib's pr opo i inn.
The A TTORN EY GENERAL said he v o.rld give the
subj-et every attention, but did not cooceive he was
called upon to give an immedi ice answer.
Lord TENTERDIN— Certainly not. The trial was
the.. proceeded %sub, by Mr. Illingworth (the first wit-
Less) leading copies from the Ittcoids in t .e Inver.
Tne examin,ti m of documents was continue) dulls%
the whole of the day.

said h should produce a mass of evidence, sufficient to

heavy, and there remains ninety• five or six wiAle.ses to
be CIA filmed. The Judges will not ci y craven, but the)

GARDINER V. HALLAM AND ANOTHER.

This was .n action ot trespass to recover the value of
two hArg,s, which, rt was alleged, had been improperly
se zed by the defendants, who are the assignees of a
bankrupt named Rust. The case was tried a short time
since before the Lord Chid Just.ce, at Guildhall, when
the eskience on either side was eztreme4 long, and ot
ea ezcerdingly conflicting nature. In the opinion of,
the Lord Chi, f Justice the balance of the evidrnce ap-
peared to be in fivour of tie defendants, and he AC•
coidingly addressed ti e Jury under that impression,
Informing them of his open on. The Jury, however,,
west of a contrary opintot, and returned a vers;ict tot,
the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant Caoss , a few days since, obtained a
rule t ► show cause why the verdict should not be set
aside ; and _ _

The Coustr expressed a very strong °Orli ,n that the

per: wade the Learned Sergeant to forbear fi ow opposing

Mr. Sergeant WILDE, however, expressed a wish to
go into the case now, as he flattered himself he should
be able to convince their Lordships that rise verdict,
not w i.hstanding the circumstances • f its not having met
with the approbation of the Learned Judge, who tried

The Coma said, that they had read the evidence of

were decidedly of (Onion, from the very contradictory

,Alr. Sergeant WILDE repeated his wish to go into the
case now, but added, that if their Lordships hod read
the evidence of the witru sses, and la.ttf alt eady come to a
conclusion upon the case, which they thought could not
be altered 'by argument, he would cf crrune abstain
from entering into any ; but at the same time he con-
fessed that he thougLt, if the Court would listen to
what he really felt it his duty to urge in justice to his
client, they would he of opinion that the verdict was
correct. and r ugl t net to be disturbed.
Mr. Justice PARR—Alter shat you /save now said,
1 for one desire that you will go on.
The ether Judges—G I ors,
The Learned S rgeant then proceeded in his argue
merit, in the course cf which he was frequently i,aer-
ruined by the Court, who appeared dis-atisfiei at his
apparent obstivacy. &fine Ise concluth-d, he st..teo
that the Lord Chief Justice had left the case to theJu:1
as-a .fraudulent preference.
The LORD thifkl, JUSTlCE—Brother Wilde, be cor-
rect in your statement. You have already said several
times that it was left as, fraudulent preferencerl have
as often said that I,lelt it as a fiauthrierit man fur.

Jr.N Sergeant WILDE—My Lord, I must mix:it that
it (0... s left as a fraudulent preference.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE-1 R..re already st, ted to
you what my recurection is upon the tubje,t, an I as
that recollection is confirmed by the mat •nrent r f th
Gentlemen on the other side, I say plainly, u
asrert that it was left as a fraudoter.t preference, that I
don't believe it.

Mr. Sergeant Wittig—That is, undoubtedly a Erring
expreisi •ri, my Lord; and as your Lordship has been
r!eased to state your recollectiol of what occurred so
l'etiveily, I, of course, am bound to yield to it; but I
elan, nge any r•nerf heLearnedGentlemen to state,either
fionr riots or their own ntemoty, that the case was left
as a fraudulent t ansfer. Let diem say th it it was so if
they date, and take the disgrace that would fall upon
them for the as•e-tion.
the other Judges here interfered to conciliate, and
exyressed an opinion that the Learned Sergeant was
acting and speaking with greater 'warmth than be-
came him.

A. Sergeant WILDE—My Lords, I should be my
*oily to conduct myself with such warmth as to be
()Missive to the Cons t; but when I am told by my Lord
Wet Justice that he d ie. not believe me, I corfess it is
an expression abich I cannot submit to, And which I
,
must repel.
