Mr. Slade said the julga in the Court below commented strongly on the stance of certain books inring the soures of the trial and in the judgment. A very strong attack was made on the anthenticity of two books which ware produced. Perhaps it was wrong to say an attack on their authenticity, beauuse he could not go so far as to say they were forgeries, but they wore not trustworthy.

The Chief Justice (to Mr. Stade)-This discussion makes one thing clear. It would he convenient for you to open to-day as far as you want to go, and then I should be strongly disposed to call on the other side for the reason why fresh ovidence should be introduced.
