Thinly veiled, and except in very important matters that would amount practically to a denial of justice, it would also in most cases only settle one point at a time without giving a reliable tone to the general administration of justice here.

I have the honor to be,

Manners Lordship's most obedient humble servant,

By the advice of the Law Officers, however, it was not proceeded against, because there had been irregularity in the proceedings; they advised that a note prosequi should be entered in the case.
