Mr. Brandt—Yes

His Lordship—Well, then, you cannot expect much consideration from this Court if that is your attitude, However, you are applying for an adjournment, I have expressed my opinion. It corns to me the proper thing for you to do is to withdraw your request for an injunction and that this should be withdrawn also. Of course, it is quite possible that the Court of Consults will fuse to hear your injunction An application such as this is tantamount to giving the Court of Consuls authority to say whether this Court shall try an action which is [properly brought before it, which intolerable. I should never think of interfering with the Court of Consuls, and I do not imagine for a moment they would take a different view as regards their relation to this Court; but at the same time you have sought to attack the Municipal Council in this rather left-handed way and the result is that they have retorted in exactly the same strain.

Mr. MeNeill—With the right hand. my Lord.
