His Lordship asked il any of tbe gentlemen soncerned in the cause were present, but none vere at that moment in court. Betfre, however, hlis lordshilp had done speaking Mr. Treslove entered, and his Lordship having repeated to him the tenour of his client's letter, the learned gentleman remided the Iortl Chancellor that Sir G.
