I shall comne to that ini the course of mny statement. It can't be ne- cessary to interrupc me to read the rule now. The LORD C}IJEF JUSTiCE.-Brother Taddy, I hope we shall not hear that again. Mr. Justice PAstm.-t fs with exteme difficulty that the Court in muany cases collect the nattue of the application,fromn the multifa- rious statemnent.s of facts and circumistances. Tbls difficulty ought' not to be Increased by the counsel. We sometimes ask for aflida- vits to be handed up and we can scarcely obtain even that. We must hear the rmlc rcaM here, In order thc more clearly to anderstand the case. Let the officer read the rule. IMr. Sergeant TADDY banded his papers to the officer, who read the rule. On the statemebt of somne particular fact, SMlr. Justice Bunn9ouGn observed, Ob ! now I can underotand the reason why you would not read the rule. When I want a rule read again, I shall expect that it will be read at once. Lr. Sergeant TADDY.-!F do not think It Is at all a part of my duty to read rules to the Couit. That is part of the ducyof the ocer, and I an) not bound to perform it. ThehLoRD CIrrE JusrbC3E.-BrotherTaddy, you should not malce any such observation as that, In answer to what falls from a Jud e of the Court. lhIr. Sergeant q'ADIw.;-I would make no observation to any Judge of this Court.wbich;I woald not as readily makeatany time, to any gentleman, in, any eituation whatever; but when imputations are cast upon mc by nry gentleman, whether a Judge of this Court or not, I will make tuct obsenrations as I-may think fit to that gen- tleman, be his situation what it may. The LORD C311EF JUSTMCE.-ThIS is most irdecent. Surely steh observationls arenot necssary to be-made here. It. S :rgeanf l;ADDY..- I do not wish to make any observations to any cil but when imputautionaarein3properly cut upon me, I will e6iti3Dm to Uses, let them come frornwhsom the~jt>. l wiU sip subnmit to bave any body cat utioj me the impuntion of wishing to ke2p any thing back f rox the !irt.

The learn:ted Sergeant,.aftct making this observation, continuted his argument on the case and tbe conversation dropped.The award was ultimately zsupp,orteJ. - NORRIS V. GILMst't. MIr. Sergeant SPANIw E nmoved for a rule to show cause Why-se. veral counts on the declaration delivered by the plaintiff in this case should not be ordered to be struck out as suptrfluouat. This was an a ction for slander, and the words were verV simple in their nature; yet the plaintiffs special pleader had swelled our the declaration to above 80 folios, having rnade-it consist of seyeralcounri,fo -the niere purpose of'ringing mnneeetsary chinges on the words. ihat these changes were annece6swry, appeared to him (MIr. Sergeant Spankiet to be beyond all doubt: but, in order to make aasurance dodbl sure, he had obtaided the opinion of a very practlsed and emdnent special pleader, who had declared many of the counts to be com- pletely superfluous. As he had saidl to, thie question must certainly be considered to be clear beyond all doubt. The LORD DCnaiE JUSTI cE.-Idon'tknowthat that wouldfollow. I suppQSe the pleader whio has given the opinion Is not the same who drew the declaration. Mr; Sergeant SPANxrIE.-No, my Lord; but there is agcntrht feeling among the learned Fentlemen in favour of superfluities. (A laugh.).The Court grantedt the rule.
