made inquiries at a number of offices, but was unable to find him.
His Lordship said that all he wanted was to be satisfied that the man was ill. The real point was that a judgement summons must be obeyed, and the Court was not justified in taking any excuse except a certificate: from a third person to prove that the man could not at: tend. He was sorry to annoy him if he was ill, but he must know who ther he was ill or not.
His Lordship instructed Inspector Burnside to keep the warrant, and if he heard of him he should arrest him.
