Mr.. lViekham. This is a poin, sir, which
never occurred to Us. We presume ibs,
the general practice will be pursued, lho
certainly deviation might be made, i
there vas any real necessity. We sh.a
consider the present motion as mere in.
,imation Of sAs wishes Of gentlemen and
we may hereafter close wnh.or objec,,o

Mr.. Masin could net supnose this NC

be pursued 10 a prosecution for treason"
for murder.
.c'ssst Justice We need not come to q
ny arrangement at present; but if gentle
men can agree on any mode among
themselves by Friday it will be acceptable
TO the courts
Mr.. Hay. shall beg leave to ob'sr''
sir, that this case fray be opeued on FRI
