London. Jan. 14.-Those who have
recently been boasting of the speed
with which English justice Is dispensed
can hardly point with pride to the
case of Peddar and Howard ys Wood
ward, which was resumed yesterday
after having been hanging fire for
nearly six centuries
The case was originally filed in 1348
during the reign of Edward H. and
was brought by the Abbot OF ST. Osyth
Essex, against Richard de Maunde-
vile. the point at issue being the right
of Richard to hold market in Stow
market. The Abbot. as the lord OF
the manor, alleged that Maundeville's
grant was illegally obtained and sought
to have 1t set aside. Maundevflie went
away to the wars in France and claim
ed the Kings protection during his
absence, causing the case to be ad-
journed. G. F. Howard and c. II. Pad
dar are the modern representatives Of
Maundeyflle, and they object to the
right Of the present day representa-
tive OF the Abbot. G. A. Woodward, to
set up a rival market. Extracts from
the pleadings Of the Abbot and of
siaundeviile are expected to play N
important part in the hearing. which
was resumed last November but ~.
most Immediately adjourned until TO-
day. At that time the justice held
that there was no need for haste In
deciding a case which had been con-
tinued for 5G3 years.
