THE GIVEN AND WEAVER CASE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAs-Judges Thompson
and Ludlow.-The City Commissioners case was
again before the Court this morning, but ii being
stated that all the evidence on behalf of the
testant, Mr.. Weaver, which was being taken be-
fore Mr.. Coils, the Examiner, had not yet been
taken, Judge Thompson suggested, that in
order to facilitate the case, it would be better
that the contestants testimony should be
concluded, as it had been begun before the Ex-
amner.
This was assented to by both Sides il being
understood by the Court and counsel that not
half tine time would be consumed in thus having
| the testimony TAKEN as would be required If it
were taken in open Court.
The case thus again goes before the Examiner
under an order OF the Court, that he shall SIT at
least three days this week, from 10 O'clock till g.
| for the purposes of the case and on such of the
| three remaining days as may be agreed upon by
counsel
II was understood intact Mr. Phillips stated,
| that the contestants testimony would be finished
this week. Messrs. Simpson and Sellers, on be.
| half of Mr.. Given, said that within twenty-touT
| hours after notice of the fact that contestants
| had closed the answer of respondent WoVld be
filed. The case will then proceed regularly, and
| will doubtless be pressed by the Court and the
| parties rapidly TO a conclusion.
| On Monday next the Examiner will report to
| the Court the evidence taken by him.
