Smith whether he did not before appear by coun- sel; and vwhetlher he intended to do so in the future conduct of his cause ? Mr. Smith.-No, my Lord: I am of opinion, that when you have a had cause, the ingenuity of counsel is very desirable to assist you through it; hut when you have a good and clear cause, as 1 have, you nnly rn:s the risk, by employing counsel, of having a va- iety of thingsris.stated, and many points neglected that may be oi the utmost niportance to your interests. (A laugh.) The allegation nowv stands for adlmiaszou next court-day. CONSISTORY COURT, FRIDAY, NOV. 19. DAVIS AND DAVIS.
