VIVIAN THE END MAY BE EXPECTED.

Mr.. Beach, would like, if your Honor
pleasc il IL woud he convenient to my learned friend
tha. n, should give intimatOn as 10 the ehgn
OF tins he occupy. We had an lnIlihauoh IIon III!
friend Mr. Evalts. and believe it was submitted 10 your
Honor that they would probably occupy five days in the
eunmng up Of this do not mean to say ST. tat
your NOR ought to exercise your discretionary power
IN the limit of this deDae but consequence Of mis-
understanding in regard to your Honors views "hich
occurred earlier tine commencement OF TINS case the
arrangenerts upon side so made tnat the duy
of submttn, the case on the part OF the plaintiff has
deyolvei wholly upon me, and IL seems 10
me. therefore, las l certainly shall not at
tempt 10 discuss this case to the extent which
both my learned friends will occupy, that there
ought TO be some reasonable limitation TO the extent OF
this discussion. l am very sure that snail not DC
obliged To rodble Your Honor more than couple OF
DAYS, and we have already occupied three days-two
DAYS and half and think is due TO us that we should
have some ntnaton rs to the close OF this discussion
on The part of my learned friends. certainly feel that
il il n very unequal discussion, with my two dstin
fsed friends occupying much time, with their great
ability, they are TO be met only by what htue can
say on behalf of the plaintiff.
Mg Evars-I can assure my learned friend that we 40
not take the same view opponent that he is pleased
% express and certainly have no very great dspos
ton TO CO., sa,ulae ourselves upon our ability to cope
with him / think, far as the question now arises
can fairly promise that the two hours that are now given
",
tbeiolulcence of the jury will not pr0crastnate the
close OF Nj Porters argument beyond that tne that no
additional length OF time in his argument will arise from
those two hours being omitted. think can fairly
promise that. Beyond that cannot co.
MI Beach-Well that gives us no idea Whatever OF tne
,onb NJ zine which y friends ask for the discussion of
This case Your Honor is very well aware that by the
rules of cont applied ordinary itigatOn before it,
bu an hour or two hours in courts in banI are asked or
permitted counsel tine discussion OF the most i'm
taut cases have not supposed your Honor would
mako any arbitrary limitation restraining counsel In
debate Of this case, but it has reached now position
vher il ems 10 Inc we ought to lave some intlmatlon
liberal as TIE time which is TO be occupied on the part
of the defense

and would be- perhaps, convenient 10 YOU have the

might occupy week. and, for fear that may have
committed a mistake. wrote 10 friend III the country
who was very anxious to hear Mr. Beach, and stated to
him that Mr.. Beachs time to Degn Ills argument "ouu

Mr. Evarts-I will add to that that refused to make
nm appont ont for the end of next week, because it
would deprive ne OF the pleasure Of hearing Mr. Beachs
resnonse have reserved next week. very important
engagement wa offered me ut Washington, wnlcn would
take me away from this tIla
Mr. Beach-dy friends very gracious and compi-
mentary indeed but don't get any satisfaction on the
main point We don't get the assurance from my
learned friends tat they will close in the coming week,
