Mr. Justice Elamite said the evidence against him was certainly very slight, but he would allow it to go to the Jury. A great number of respectable witnesses gave Mr. Tristam the highest character for integrity; some of them stated that they knew him from his infancy, and his charactei was id ways most respectable. Mr. Justice Gummi charged the Jury, that it was for then. to decide on the evidence respecting the iden tity of the prisoner Riley ; it was evident that there was no evidence to prove any thing against the other ; but that he had been deficient in that caution which every span should use in taking notes from stringers.
