About two o'clock
Every day afterwards , from the sitting to the rising of the court , did the anxious Aubrey attend in the King 's Bench , to hear the judgment of the court delivered . At length arrived the last day of the term . Soon after the sitting of the court , Lord Widdrington pronounced judgment in two or three cases ; but not seeing the Attorney-General -LRB- who was engaged before the House of Lords -RRB- in his place , delayed giving judgment in the case of '' _ Doe _ v. _ Jolter _ . '' About two o'clock he made his appearance ; and shortly afterwards , Lord Widdrington , after disposing of the matter then before the court , said -- `` There was a case of Doe on the demise of Titmouse against Jolter , in which , early in the term , a rule was obtained by the Attorney-General , calling upon the lessor of the plaintiff to show cause why '' -- and he proceeded to state the rule , and then to deliver the written unanimous judgment of the court . A clear statement of the facts out of which the questions submitted to the court had arisen , and of those questions themselves , was listened to by Mr. Aubrey in breathless suspense , before he could obtain the faintest intimation of the judgment which the court was about to pronounce . Lord Widdrington went on to dispose , one by one , with painful deliberation and precision , of the several points presented for the decision of the court . One or two were decided in favor of the defendant ; but his Lordship added , that it had become unnecessary to do so , in consequence of the answers given by the witnesses to subsequent questions at the trial , and which disposed of the doubts arising on the former ones .
