by Pedro de Zulueta; William Brodie Gurney

Upon the solicitors?—No; not upon the solicitors themselves.

I am speaking of the one with a date and a signature; when did you serve either Mr. Zulueta or his solicitors?—The 26th.

Was that yesterday? Does your recollection enable you to say?—

Mr. Justice Maule. It was either yesterday, or yesterday twelve months, or two years ago?—It was the 26th of October, 1843.

Mr. Kelly. Will you tell me at what hour you served it?—Upon whom?

Upon either Messrs. Lawford & Co. or Messrs. Zulueta. First, did you serve it upon either? Leave out Captain Jennings. Did you serve a copy of that paper, signed and dated, upon either Mr. Zulueta or Messrs. Lawford?—No; I did not.

You only served it upon Captain Jennings?—Yes; that is all.

Mr. Justice Maule. As far as the signed paper goes, there was no service upon Mr. Zulueta?

Mr. Kelly. No.

Mr. Justice Maule. He did serve something upon them which was not signed.
