during the whole of which the deepest marks of
sorrow were depicted on the countenance of every
person present, and amongst the Royal Brothers'
the eagle sentiments of poignant grief seemed to-{

The first part, of the service being terminated,'
the procession moved from tie Chapel in the same
order in which it entered, and with the same degree
()lawful solemnity, the Choir again chaunting a
Solemn Dirge, and taking its course to the right '
from the western doer, proceeding throigh the north
aisle to a passage behind the altar at the eastern ex-
tremity of the Chapel, in which was situated the
temporary vault for the 'reception of the earthly
remains of her Royal Highness, previous to its
final removal to Cardinal W 01.0210,11 Chapel, which
is in 4 forward stet* of preparation. The corpse
having arrived at the verge of the vault, which
was lined with. black cloth, the'Yeomen lowered it
into the hollow, and the cushion and corotet were
placed on the top. The Royal Brothers were now.
observed close to the last home of their departed Si.-

Sir I.4ODETT Bart v. COLEMAN, Esq;
•
, COURT OF Klso s BRNCR, Nov. 13..
Me. Serjeant SurJUSRD addressed the Court.
Be rose lb ibe* cause why the rule, obtained by
the • Attorney.Getteral fur delaying the tried of
the issues, in the several cases in which Sir Francia
Burdett was Plaintiff, should not he mad* absolute.
tie would be permitted by the Court now to allude
to the case in which the Earl of Moira was Defen.
dant. This had .been grounded on certain points,
which were already amply detailed to the Court.
Some of those points were the same with those which
occurred in the other actions, but some wereiotally
different. The Attorney. General had stated that •
material witness for the Earl of Moira was absent in
Portugal. Under these circulastincea it would not be.
come the Plaintiff, or the Coe Mel who advised him,
to urge on the prosecuion. No cause would there.
fore be shown against the application io that case.
But in the case of Sir Francis against Mr. Coleman,
no such cause of delay occurred. The Attorney.
Gomel had on a former day stated, as it were, the
,bletiary of the proceeding, and it became unneces.
sary to trouble the Court with it now. But that
learned Officer had charged the Plaintiff with delay
In thd proceedings, as if he had been only excited
by being ruled to reply, and had taken advantage
of all the delay which he could contrive to interpose
between the proceedings. This was all inapplicable
to the Plaintiff. He hid not produced any delay
in either of- the causes, which it was proposed to
bring to the verdict of *Jury. There were certain
rules of court, which appoiated the time of the save.
ral proteediegs. Those roles bad not been in any
instance violated. There was no reason why the
Plaintiff should anticipate the time for bringing on
the argetnent upon the demurrer. When there were
two 'asses of action against two distinct persons,
there was no reason why the Plaintiff should retin.
quids the choke which it had pelted him to mike,
and bring forward that one which he had before
postponed. There was no reason why im should
desire to set down the demurrer for argument within
a shorter time than that required by the Court. In
those cases, some questions were the same, but
others were subitantially different. It was, of
course, to be admitted, as to the trial of the
issues, that whatever might be the event of these
trials, the saute question of privileges would be
raised again in the argument upon the demurrer.
Bat would the course of justice be cleared by
taking the demurrer first ? The • same question
must come in all the Giles to be tried. Sup..
posing that the issue was tried in the firs. in.
stance, and that the Defendant, Mr. Coleman,
obtained's verdict, the question of privilege would
come immediately before the Court ; for it would
be competent for the Plaintiff to move for a rule to
show cause why a verdict should not be entered for
the Plaintiff. This could not set., ly be a reason
for bringing forward the argument upon the demur.
rer. It was net necessary for stirriug the question
of privilege, because that question he raised and
disposed of in the course of the argument upon the
trial, or upon the motion which would follow a
verdict. Suppose the demurrer to be argued,
and this pinkie to be dissatisfied with their Lord.
ship's judgment; a writ of error ou•ild be
• brought: • Then suppose, in another trial, the
same question agitated, which was pending be..
fore the Court of Error; their Lordships would
probably think it proper to delay giving their
judgment, until thq.question was disposed of in
the other Court. Thud the priority of the argu.
meet ob the demurrer might impede the trials of the
issues, but the priority of the trials might make
the argument on the demurrer unnecessary, as the
queition would be disposed of in the course of
the trials. If In the trial at bar a verdict were
obtained against Mr. Coleman, the question would
.he attest ; atrwrit of error could be applied for.
Bat if -the verdict was against the Plaintiff, the
question.
.would be raised again on the motion to
enter a verdict for thaPlaintiff. • Why, then, was
it necessary to have the question decided, rather in
the ease of Burdett against Abbott, than in that
of Burdett against Coleman ? By the practice of
*Court, the Plaintiff bad a right to marshal the
.pirtmeedings. There was no apparent reason why
Ike argument by Counsel should now precede the
trial by Jury. The question would be treated in
both with - equal consideration. The argument
would be in both tawny solemn and dignified, and
decisive. There could be no failure of justice in
adopting the present course. It was distinctly ac.
cording to the rolled the Court. Their Lordships -
bad of course a power to dispense with those rules;
God forbid that they. should not, where justice was
to letespediesd. Bit where there was an issue in
fact, matise issue is lkw, the Plaintiff had an ac.
ktnewledied right to eat.down his issues according to
Abe some which it suited his convenience to pursue.
