grantees moved that the case be now heard. and
submitted that il the opposers Of the project were
right and the grant OF the Common Council Illegal,
they ought to know it. If the grant within the
powers OF the Common Council then his clients (the
grantees) ought to be put in immediate possession,
in order that they might commence their works. He
therefore requested that the case should now be
heard.
The judge said he would prefer having this matter
postponed until the Injunction before the Superior
Court was disposed Of If the Injunction was properly
issued this Court must take judicial notice OF it.
Mr. d. D. Field said the only question before the
Superior Court was whether the Common Council
were in contempt.
bIr. Gerard remarked that his learned friend, (Mr
Field) at the adjournment OF the case on Saturday
was in the middle OF very able argument on the
merits of the whole case. He (lfr GU submitted
that T this case was postponed until the four Judges
of the Superior Court-from whom there was no APP
peal to the general term Of that Court had deter
mined the motion before them, the argument here
could be very much curtailed.
The Judge inquired If there was any objection to
the case laying over until Monday next
Mr.. Field replied that there was.
The Judge-It has been publicly stated that nm,

he would consult with Judge Edwards and, If he
could hear the cause, it might by enforcing the two
hour rule, be got through on Thursday and Friday

ment before the superior Court IN Saturday next
Mr.. Field asked the Court to increase the security
