Mr. Stokes said he had no other witnesses to bring forward, and he would be glad if the case were adjourned.

Mr. Wise asked him to favour the Court with any arguments be might have to support his con- tentions. He thought if this were done at once it would save time in the end. The Court had, la fact, already made up its mind to a certain extent, and merely wanted to hear what argu» ments might be advanced.

Mr. Franchi said he was not prepared with his arguments, having been instructed only the day before.

After some discussion it was agreed to adjourn the case till Monday afternoon at a o'clock.
