His lordship--I don't attach much importance to affidavits, you know. It seems to me to be a little bit doubtful whether Mr. Meyerink has viven a candid explanation of his forgetfulness, but that is not the only pelat. It seems rather to corroborate Mr. Meverink in the main fact that he actually forgot to attend, but it the same time I think there has been way great careless. mess on his part. If you wish to file an affidavit I will adjourn consideration of the point till Monday.

Mr. Robluson (after consultation with Mr. Weight)-After what your lordship has sold Mr. Meyeriuk is willing to answer any questions, and leave the matter in your lordship's hands.

His lordship Very well. Mr. Meyerink, you see what the bailiff says; be anys ke waw ibe summans for you to attend lying on your 'desk when he went to serve the second summons that you were to attend bere and show cause why you did not attend as a special farer; and that fooks,

I need not tell you that jurors should be exceedingly careful in attending to summonses, 15, if they do not, they fall in their duty and are doing an injustice to the other gentlemen of the jury, who might be called upon to serve in their place.

THE MURDER CASE,

The left-hand semi-circle is called the manage. able or the navigable semi-circle. Here you are carried straighter into the centre, but at the same time the wind carries you towards the path behind the centre, where the danger is less, and moreover the fards of the wind is not so great in the manageable as in the dangerous semi-circle. In this semi-circle you CEA FUN close-hauled with the wind on the starboard tack, but you must heave-to on the port tack, so as not to be taken aback when the wind backe. You cannot run so long in this as to the other semi-circle, or you may not be able to wear your ship, and when you heave-in on the wrong tack, you run great risk of being diamanted, or having your wessel thrown on her beam ends, when you may have to cut away the ments to sight ber.
