in the first of which Causes Mary Murray Widow was
Plaintiff, and John Peter Addenbrooke, Thomas Pinkard

Catherine Emily Murray and Frances Murray, by their
Guardian, were Defendants; and in the second of which
Causes the said Mary Murray was Plaintiff, and Robert
Ballard Long Esquire was Defendant: That the said
Petition came on for Hearing before The Lord High
Chancellor of Great Britain on the 22d Day of December 1829, and his Lordship, after considerable Argument, was pleased to order, on the 16th Day of January
last, that the said Petition should be dismissed: That
the Petitioner Sir John Murray alone communicated
with Messieurs Currie, Horne and Woodgate, of Lincoln's Inn, in the County of Middlesex, Solicitors, and
gave Instructions to them in the Conduct and Management of the said Causes; and that he so acted for
himself and the other Petitioners: That at the Time
the said Petition came on to be heard and was dismissed, the Residence of the Petitioner Sir John
Murray was unknown to the Petitioners Solicitors,
Messieurs Currie, Horne and Woodgate, he, the
Petitioner Sir John Murray, having removed from
Kennington, where the said Messieurs Currie, Horne
and Woodgate had been always before in the habit of
writing to him, to Brixton, in the County of Surrey:

informed of the said Lord Chancellor having dismissed
the said Petition on his calling upon Messieurs Currie,
Horne and Woodgate, at their Chambers in Lincoln's
Inn, on the 23d Day of January last: That he, the
Petitioner Sir John Murray, being ignorant of the Time
limited by this House for presenting the Petitioners
Appeal, afterwards, and before the Expiration of the
Time so limited by this House, left this Kingdom for
France without having given sufficient Instructions to
the said Messieurs Currie, Horne and Woodgate to
present the said Appeal, although he fully intended that
the same should be done, and without giving them any
previous Information of his being about to leave this
Kingdom: That the other Petitioners were utterly ignorant, until long after the Expiration of the Time limited
by this House for presenting the said Appeal, that the
said Sir John Murray had not given sufficient Instructions
to the said Messieurs Currie, Horne and Woodgate for
presenting the same, and it was not until they wrote to
the Petitioner Henry Rumsey that they had not such
Instructions, that the other Petitioners thought it
necessary to act in the Matter, as they fully relied upon
the said Sir George Murray having done all that was
required; but immediately they were informed by the
said Messieurs Currie, Horne and Woodgate that the
had not so done, they gave the necessary and full
Instructions to the said Messieurs Currie, Horne and
Woodgate for presenting the said Appeal: That for the
Reasons above stated the Petitioners were unable to
give Instructions to their Counsel, to enable him to
draw their Petition of Appeal to this House so as to
file the same within the Time prescribed by the
Standing Orders of this House: That the Time for the
Petitioners filing their Petition of Appeal expired on
the 18th Day of February last: That the Petitioners
are now prepared to file their Petition of Appeal;" and
therefore praying, "That their Lordships will be pleased
to order that the Petitioners Petition of Appeal to this
House may be filed as of this present Session:"

Prints of the Appellants and Respondents Cases, now
