Thursday Jan: 22d 1778.
Present
Impey & Hyde
Impey sent me a Message that he should not be so early as usual in Court, and desired me to go through with the Motions, and by the time the causes were ready to be call’d on he would be in Court. I staid about half an hour in the Room before I went in to Court, and did not sit till about Ten Minutes after Ten, and Impey came in a few minutes after. Chambers did not come being not well.
Mr. Lawrence. One of the Advocates of the Company, Moved to make absolute a Rule for the Plaintiff to pay to the Defendant “the Costs incurr’d.” Mr. Sealey, Shew’d for cause that the cause had been set down for Trial, and came on so far that the Chief Justice had observed that the Record of the Plaint was erroneous, and that Mr. Newman of Council for the Defendant found there were errors also, in the Justification of the Defendant, and therefore it was agreed between Mr. Sealey of Council for the Plaintiff and Mr. Newman of Council for the Defendant that the cause should not then go on to
Trial
