into Court, Mr. ROUPELL said he wished, before the
regular business of the day was begun, to say a few
words respecting the lonst-litigattA case of Waters
and Tavlor. On a former occusion his Honour had
been pleased to appoint the 'exceptions taken to the
Master's Report, to be discassed on the first day of
exceptions in Easter Term. When this order was
made, parties had every expectation of being pre-
pared for the hearing, bat the papers were so volu-
minous, and embraced such a variety of topics, that
his Client found it utterly impossible to be prepared.
It was, therefore, his duty to move thut the cause be
fixed for the second day of exceptions instead of the
first, and he had no doubt but his Client would by
that lime he fully prepared.

the proposed delay, but thought it would he extreme-
ly desirable for all parties that the cause was finally
disposed of.

time would be occupied ?

Mr. ROUPELL said they were very numerous, and
he had no doubt woald occupy a great portion of the
time of the Court.
The Vics-CktAxcat.Loß.--If that is the case,
then take the delay ot) wish for; bet let it been.
