The solicitors engaged in the 'horse case,' who retired to consult, hoping to come to a settlement, returned into Court fully an hour ago, and have since been sitting at the table waiting to resume.

Besides these some four or five other lawyers of equal standing are anxiously looking for a chance of commencing their business.

All their clients are waiting, and the witnesses; they have all crowded into the Court, the close atmosphere of which is almost intolerable.
But having begun the case the Judge gives it his full and undivided attention.

Solicitors, clients, witnesses, cases that interest the public, causes that concern valuable property, or important contracts must all be put aside till this trifling matter is settled.

He is as anxious as any, or more so, to get on, because delay causes business to accumulate--the adjourned causes, of course, having to be heard at next Court, and thus swelling the list to an inordinate length.
