ha,l applied to several persons on the Continent to :sil-

would grant the injunction as prat cif for.
Mr. HORNE stated, that he appeared as Counsel for
the defendants, Cuutts and Cu., and they were ready
to submit to any order the Court 'nicht think proper
to make.

HaovoisAst said, he and his Learned Friend,
Mi. Denman, were Counsel fur her Majesty, and it was
nut their intention, as the legal advisers of that Royal
Personage, to offer any opposition to the order of in•
junction bring granted; so far front it. they gave
their full consent, and were anxious that the must mi-
nute investigation should take place. It would not
have been necessary for him to have said a single word
n.ure un the subject, if his Majesty's Attorney•Urneral
hid not complained that her Majesty hail not put in
her an-wer to the cross bill. He would tell hint, that
t!.at answer would be put in if her Majesty's legal
ati•cr% thought it necessary, and the reason it was
tr.:t done before was, the absence of her Majesty from
this country but that cause would be now removed
by the immediate return of her 31:tje•ty
che Tonstyr-firs: am t I have to say is,
that the cross bill was tiled in ISIS.

.'Jr. Ititot:ousst.—lf it had been filed eight years
ito,tu.tl.l of two, the cause of the answers not being put
it would remain the same; for they could not remove
the sea, the Alps awl Appenines, which were between
the Royal Personage and her legal advisers.
