his Learned Friend had alluded. It was 'attitude-

if, alive, would not have suffered this action to be

had Growl it very difficult to recognise the servant of
Major Cadogen. whom he alleged to have fre-
quently seen. The bill, if it was founded in sight,
ought to have been seat to the Defendant et the time

to prove that the Defenciset's servant never west to

tire declaration on the other side would not be sof&
cleat, and he should, therefore, decline giving his
Learned Friend the opportunity of replying. Be-

ought to have proved a bill delivered.
The Loan Cuter Jounce, is addressing thejory,

not only the mineral water, but else that aperient
draughts and other articles had bees delivered. Is

they would remember Net it toes way to assert, thud
Pere Elyse, was paid for these articles ; bat it was
not likely that a physician should have prepared thee,

delay in bringing the action, was accounted for by
the absence of the whew, in France, and it had
been, in subrance, proved, that the articles men.
