He disclaimed the inten. tion of any offence to the Magistracy—confessed that he had stslunteered his service.; and professed his ort•olotiots to hear the sentence of the law, and • indemnify M.

Mr. Ma►changy, King's Advocate, persisted in his former arguments against L'Huillier ; requir. ad the condemnation of Madame Jeunebonsme; and considering the youth and extreme inexpe rience of the Sitar Crete°, recommended him to the indulgence 4 the Tribunal.
