No. 102, Session II.—Petition of Edwin Dean and Others.

Petitioners pray for compensation for time lost in giving evidence in the case of H. R. Russell v. Grindell for libel. They had applied to Mr. Grindell, Hon. J. Sheehan, and Dr. Pollen without success. They ask that their claim may be satisfied.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the prayer of the petitioners relative to law costs cannot be recommended for favourable consideration.
