Mr. Jenkin then proceeded to deliver his concluding address. He said that in view of the short time that had expired since he opened vase on behalf of the defend- ants, and in view of the fact that it was obvious to hire that his Lord strip had at least appreciated to the full every submission which hu (Mr. Jenkin) had laid before him, good, bad, or in different, it scein

to him that having reaches the winth day of a long and fatiguing case, he would serve no really good purpose by again covering the ground which he went over in his opening address.

He, therefore, proposed to ron- elude briefly, and he would resume his seat with heartfelt thanks for the patience with which his Lord- ship had listened to what he had had to say, and to the evidence

which he had entled.

Mr. Jenkin then dealt briefly with one or two points of a legal and technical nature.

r. Eldon Potter addressed the Court during the afternoon, and reviewed certain outstanding points. in the evidence. There was con- siderable argument over various technical points between him and his Lordship, and also Mr. Jenkiu.

At the conclusion of argument, after five o'clock, the case was con- cluded, and his Lordship announced that he would reserve judgment.
