English Justice Slow. London , Jan. 9. Those who have recently been boasting of the speed with which English justice Is dis pensed can hardly point with pride to the case of Poddar and Howard vs. Woodward , which was resumed today after having been hanging lire for nearly six centuries. The case was originally filed in 1348 , during the reign of Edward II , and was brought hy the Abbot of St. Osyth , Essex , against Richard do Maundeville , the point at Issue being the right of Richard to hold a market In Stowmarket. The abbot , as the lord of the manor , alleged that Maun- devlllo's grant was illegally obtained and sought to have It set aside. Maun- devlllo went away to the wars In France and claimed the king's pro tection during his absence , causing the case to bo adjourned. G. F. How ard and C. N. Peddnr are the modern representatives of Maundeville , and they object to the right of the present day representative of the abbott , G. A. Woodward , to set up a rival mar ket. Extracts from the pleadings of the abbot and of Maundeville are ex pected to play an Important part In : ho hearing , which was resumed last November , but almost Immediately adjourned until today. At that tlmo the justice held that there was no need for haste In deciding a case which had been continued for 503 years. TAFT , TOO , AGAINST LORIMER. Whitewash Made the President Take a Hand for Party's Sake. Washington , Jan. 9. President Tnft has taken a personal Interest in the Larimer case , which Is coming up for action in the senate before long , and has shown that he Is not satisfied with the whitewashing report of the com mittee on privileges and elections and will not ho content with action by the senate of anything less thnn a full and complete ventilation of the scaifdal. This means , of course , that Senator Lorlmcr's chances of vindication by vote of the senate are very much less than they wore before the president throw his influence into the scale and that Larimer Is In for the fight of his life If ho retains his scat in the upper house of congress.
