ready to lot loose upon him the moment he was
through his testimony. He wished that the Court
would protect Mr.. Gordon against the projected
purpose Of his arrest and disgrace.
Mr.. Field asked that Mr. Root be allowed time to
read the papers, and meantime that the eSanina-
ton might be resumed.

applicable to the case Mr.. Gordon's counsel busily
chatted with their Client who seemed to be in the
best OF spirits, unmindful Of the Damoclean sword
that might or might not be suspended over his
head, and Judge Brady, who had been holding
Court two hours, seized the opportunity to vacatc
the bench and catch few moments respite.
On Judge Brady's return Mr.. Field read the law
on the subject from the Code In o decision in the
United States Circuit Court
Mr.. Porter invoked the common law. All that
was asked was an order to stay proceedings un til
a motion could be made to vacate the order Of
arrest granted by Judge Barrett. This, he insisted
Mr.. Field insisted that granting such stay was
equivalent to vacating the order OF arrest In this

Canada. He asked for 0eAy for the ntlrDOgp of
