§ MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether a case of "Billing v. Brogden" was heard before Mr. Justice North in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice in March, 1880; whether judgment has yet been delivered; and, if he can state what is the cause of the 16 months' delay?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight), in reply, said, it was a fact that judgment had not yet been delivered in the case referred to. The learned Judge informed him that the delay had arisen from the great difficulty and the complicated nature of the case. The arguments had extended over 11 days; and there were in the case a great many matters of account which required the closest attention. Judgment would, however, be delivered in a few days.
