pant said, lie thought he had said nothing which could
be interpreted into diarespect to the Bench.
Their Lordships, however, were (fa contrary opinion,
and said that they certainly thought he made use of
expressions which were exceedingly r ffensive to the
Bench, and which they did not doubt the Learned Ser-
geant would have abstained from uttering in a cooler
moment.
The Lono CHIEF Antics said, that he seria:nly
thought the Learned Sergeart had behaved very dis-
respectfully to him, for he 11.4 that lie (the Chiel
Justice) in his chrge had supPrillllllll facts which were
favourable to his client, and that -he had made strong
comments ia favour of the defendant. This, he re-
peated, he felt personally offensive to elmselt, as it con-
veyed an imprtation of a most serious native against a
Judge. He wished that the Learned Sergeant would,
address the sane language to him siring on that bench
that would be used between Gentleman and Gentleman
in a private room. On the contiaryi he had this day
addressed language to him which might, [camps he
used in the company whichratte Learned Sergeant fre-
quented, but which he beggeNo add was unknown in
the society in which he (lire itieri Chief Justice) moved.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE denied I. at he had made use of
the word "suppress," and 'repeated his conviction that
he had said nothing disrespectlpl to the Bench, or that
might not have been uttered in any society whatever.
Mt. Justice GASELEE said he was awry to say that he
really did t' ink the conduct of the Learned Sergeant
had been disrespectful. lit had challenged the Learned
Gentlemen on the other side to conirad.ct what he ha.
said, and threatened them wiih disgrace if they dared
to do so.

The LORD CHIEF JUiTICE Said, ahat if the Learned Sers.
geant had nut made use of the precise word "suppress,"
I e had at least micie use of others, by which the same
it fetence would he drawn. Has Lordship then requested
the Counsel tot Alm defendant to say whether the case
had not been left as a fraudulent tramfer.

Mr. Serge,nt Caoss said that it certainly apreareJ
w by the note of the Learned Gentleman who was with
him in the cause.

Mr. Sergeant %Vaunt insisted, that although the woe d
"transfer' (night liave been useJ, that it was followed
by others by which the question of preference was fulls
put to the Jury.
The LORD CHIEF Jusrica again asserted that he had
not left that question to the Jury ; and aft. .r vane fur-
ther observations horn the other Judges, who once snort
interfered t.i conciliate, the mater was dry pped, and
the Learned Sergeant proceeded in his argument.
Nll. Serratit ANDREWS followed on the same side.
Mr. Sergeant CROSi was about to reply, but was pre-
vented by

Mr. Justice PARK, who said that the Ciurt thought
it onnecessat y t') hear him, as it had already determined
that the rule should be made aboo!ute upon payment of
casts.

Mr. Sergeant CROSS .begged, with great deference,
that the Court would hear him before it determined to
make the defendants pay the costs.
Mr. Justice l'isarc said, twat where the question was
one of fact, and where the Jury had given a verdict upon
very full evidence, although that verdict might not be
satitlictory to the Court, yet if it was not actually a
perverse verdict, the rule was that the party applying
for a new trial sh,,uld pay the costs. It was in the
creiion of the Court to alter this rule It they thought
fight, and they would probably do so in the ease or a
perverse verdict, where the Jury bad run riot and given
a verdist in despite of the facts. But in such a case as
the present, in which there was a doubt as to the pro-
priety or impropriety cf the •erdict, the rule was as he
had stated.

Mr. Sergeant CROSS, however, repeated his entreaty
to be allowed to address the Court, and after some fur.
ther contentt4,4 he was allowed tr proceed. The
Learned Sergieini then went into a long speech, in which
he complained that Mr. Sergeant Wilde, at the tii
had made use of expressions for the purpose of with-
dr swing the confidence of the Jury from the opinion of
the Lord Chief Justice. lie then went on to describe
the manner in which the verdict had been returned,
assenting that the majority of the Jurors would have
given a different verdict, had they not been gained over
by one or two uho were determined to give for plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE objected to such observations as
the Learned Sergeant was then making. He might say
what he pleased about him (Mr. Sergeant Wilde), but
he submitted that such statements ought not to be made
with respect to the Jury without an Affidavit.
The COURT, however, were of opinion that the Learned
Sergeai t was not compelled to be furnished with an
affidavit in an argument to show cause why the de
Pendant should not pay costs.
_ _

The Learned Sergeant then proceeded in his argu-
ment, and was followed by Mr. Sergeant JONI&
The COURT, after a shun consult-4ton, said it would
take time to consider on the question of costs.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE—Then 1 trust your Lordship
will inform your brethren whether 1 w.is guilty of mak-
ing any disrespectful obsefeations towards your Lord-
ship at the trial.

The LORD CHIRP JUSTICR—Oh, certainly. I have
no hesitation in saying at once that there was nothing
at the trial that 1 thouAlit at all disrespectful.
Mr. Sergeant Wit.ux expressed his thanks to his
Lordship for the ready acquittal he had given him of
the imputation which had been cast upon him. He
never had any intention of sty, any thing disrespect.

Du Peaftson.—The following just and el qttent
eblogium on the late celebrated Dr. Yearsr,n h from the
elegant pen of Dr. Sigmond: 14 When chemistry was
making those splendid discoveries which have thrown
over the world k light unkncwn to former ages—when
a mighty 'revolution, commencing with the analysis of
bodies, had etched the tninds of philosophic
when, for the first time, an inquiry was mane iota the
nature of the circumamhient air, of water, of acids, of
°aides, of metalie solutions, of eegetable and animal
principles, you stood among UM foremost t f the great
chemists; and Four croy has, in his list of men who
gave an immortality to the age in which they lived,
handed yobr name down to posterity. When that re-
traordinary blessing, vaccination, first diffused its repo-,
vating power upon mankind, banishing the liuthsomt
pest that had scattered around disea e, disniay, and
death, you established, upon the firmest babas, truth
which call forth the gratitude • f mankind. Wilds!
Jenner showed that an antidote was to be obtained, you
proved that, from individual to individual, the security
was to be conveyed in the mildest form. These are
claims upon the genet al approbation which no time, no
circumstance, should eve' obliterate, and their memory
should exist, when time may chill the ardent, of your
pursuits; but delightful it is for those who honoor and
Irespect you to find the energy of intellemstill the same'
—the love of science unchanged, unchangeable."
