The coun- sel, instead of being limited to two hours each, were allowed to aro-ue at their own pleasure. I say, again, it is an insu. Lt to the court to affirm that a ques- tion of such magnitude, not involved in the ease, was considered and decided without intimating to counsel the propriety of its argument at the bar.
