Court Of Common Pleas, Mo...
(Siltinr: in BEduco.) The Court were occupied for the Wholedf the day iRwhearing ar. gunients on several cases, but none ofthem were of any interest. Just before their lordships iose, Mr. Sergeant BOSANQOEET rose and ai;plPud to have a defendant in a cause allowed another day to jusiify bail.' le made this application on tlhe'affldavir ofone of the parties who-were to apea.r and justify, in which 'hi staf1 -tbat he had come down to Westminster sufficiently early in thednorning to appear when caled oh; but that by"in'itake lie went tb tbie Court of King's Bench, and remiained thero some tine, iiinagining thit it was there lie was to be called. When he' found his mistake, he hastened to!this court ; bat it was theni too late. He now; therefore, appied-for additional tilne to justify.: Lord Chief Justice Bssr.-Does your affidavit also go uponthde merits f the-case!tbb tried.? ''' Ar. ScrgQint BqsAN4prZT.-It does not, tnv ord. I did-'not think.it wasinecessary insuch an application as this. Mir. JuSlice PAntu.-jt is not the practice of the Court to go into the merits where-the party svears that the delay was occasioned by mistakingbane Court for another. (Hiere th-e Judges consulted together for a short time, and the Chief Justice app'eared'to hold a different opinion on the application from his two lesmed.brothers.) The Lioan CUIEP JusTICE.-It may not be tbe practice of thc Coitd tto gojn -miDlSi W uchn cases as fsdts: but I think, that whe:e a det'e*daant ouXtQto pay, the sooner he does-pay the better. Ir. Justice PASx.-I don't tbink it necessary that the merits should be gone into: I can' asily imagine, that a very honest man may he unable to pay to-dav a debt, which in a fortnight hence lie may be well able-to discharge. The application was granted, and the party allowed to Justify on Friday next, giving, fresh notice to the plaintiff. I COURT OF COMfMjON PLF,A-S. MIONDAY, 3IAy N.
