Extraa of a letter from Rbode-IJland, dated Feb. 5.
" Yesterday came bn at the digria court
here, the trial of Mr. J. Wolfe, of Bristol, who
was sued for all the finestand forfeitures of a
voyage to Africa, and bringing off a cargo of
slaves ; it lasted all day, when the jury went
out, and, in a short time, returned a verdict for
Wolfe, the defendant. In the evening of the
firft day, Mr., Howell, the Attorney, with one
Capt. Leonard, lately captain of a revenue
cutter, who came on with some evidences in
the case, walked out of the court house, and on
the parade Leonard was attacked by some per
sons unknown, .was roughly handled, knocked
4own with sticks of wood and brickbats, but es
caped with life to a house near the court house."
