which it created was greater than in any Yarrner instance of
a legal inquiry within our remembrance. It was first sup-
posed that the proceedings would take place in the Court of
Requests, High-street, in which the public business was
transacted during the assizes ; and immediately on the open-
ing of that court the rush to obtain admission was great, and
towards twelve o'clock the room and the approaches to it
became densely crowded. About a quarter past twelve,

court; but no sooner did it become known that the proceed-
ings were there to be taken, than a general rush was made
by hundreds, who soon crowded the stars, the lobbies, and
