"My client's vast interests are still liable to be assailed by any claimant.

I wish your Honor to insist that the case be heard.

A claim has been made here of a most dastardly nature, and I submit that your Honor will not allow the claimants to withdraw without some investigation.

I will ask your Honor to put Gavan Blake in the box." Mr.Manasseh objected.

He said that there was no longer any case before the Court; and Gavan Blake, white to the lips, waited for the Judge's decision.
