Mr. Shcehau demurred to an officer of the Court presuming to reflect on the conduct of the couusel. He said he would not claim to be a gentleman in the sense referred to, but he recognised the law oi courtesy, and he was willing to admit that if Mr. Hammond had made any mistakejit was a matter of memory, . v .- "".'■;',,;:^",.. -T-vsna The subject then dropped. After this there was some discussion between the counsel as to an error which had crept into the description of boundaries.
