The Judge-Advocati remarked, that some of the alleged offences were of two years' standing previcins tii.the order for a trial, and by law the accused could not be tried and punished for such, except in.circum stances where an earlier trial was unattainable, which did not appear to be the tate in the present instance: . but it was for the Court to decide wltether they would take' Cognizance of such charges. ...
