Counsel as early as the 18th of January last, but
by reason of the Multiplicity of their Counsel's Business, they have not yet been able to obtain his Hand
thereto, which puts them under the Necessity of applying to their Lordships to put off the Hearing for a

shall please to appoint:"

others, worth several Thousand Pounds per Annum,
and complains of the Judgement of the Court of
Session pronounced against the Petitioner; that this
Suit has depended for several Years in the said Court,
the Papers therein very voluminous, and the Arguments of the Counsel at determining the Cause took
up no less than Ten Days; that this Appeal was presented the Beginning of this Session; and the Petitioner hath ever since been busy in forwarding the
Extract of the Proceedings from the proper Offices
in the said Court of Session, and in preparing his
Case, which is now almost ready, and will be in the
Press in a few Days; that the Case and other Papers
in this Cause necessarily to be looked into by their
Lordships are unavoidably very long; that the Petitioner meant to have laid them on their Lordships'
Table before Easter, in order for their Perusal at their
Leisure during that Recess, and he thought the Respondents Intention corresponded with his, but it has
happened otherwise, for on Thursday last, upon the
Respondents Application alone, and without the Petitioner's Consent, this Cause was set down to be
heard on the 19th instant; that the Petitioner hopes
he shall be forgiven for stating to their Lordships,
that it will be impossible for him to get his Case
printed by that Day, much less will it be possible for
their Lordships to peruse it, and the relative Papers;
besides, the Counsel which the Petitioner is at the
Expence of bringing from Scotland cannot leave that
Place sooner than the 12th of this Month, as the
Term rises there on the 11th, which would totally
deprive him of their able Assistance so material in his
Cause; that the Petitioner therefore flatters himself,
from the Importance and Length of his Cause, their
Lordships will be inclined to indulge him with a reasonable Delay, and, if agreeable to their Lordships,
he would humbly suggest and pray that the Cases for
both Parties should be lodged with their Lordships
on or before the 25th Instant; and that the Hearing
of the Cause might be postponed until the Second
Cause Day after Easter."
And thereupon the Agents on both Sides were called
in, and heard at the Bar;
And being withdrawn;
Ordered, That the Hearing of this Cause be put
off to the Third Cause Day after the Recess at Easter;
and that both Parties do deliver their Cases to the House
