Mr. Sheebau said he would be prepared with a plan on the day of hearing. The facts of the ca^o were not disputed, and it wai merely a question for argument, 'Ihe case wai how. ever of considerable importance both to the toll, collector aud the public, as the decision of the Juet'ces would have the effect, of settling the question whether the collector was entitled to reoeive ceiUin tolls, which would make a conaiderabla difference in the amount of revenue collected, The omb might be ndjouinid without prejudice to any one.— The Bench granted tho application for adjoucom'jnt; niul tlxia beituj all the business the Court rose.
