^ its environs, but having already .brought
evidence tothe fads, he did not with to ex
haust ( he patience of the court and jury, al
ready much fatigued ard hari/lfed, he there
d fore clcfed the evidence lor the prolecution at
this period.,. u
Mr. Kenyon lamented that his client Ihould
begin his defence, when thecourt was fatigued
with so long a train of evidence; he expressed
his apprehension for hiinfelf, left his noble
client Ihould fuffer through his little experi
ence in criminal cases He urged the Imall
probability there was, of his engaging in any
treasonable ad, circumstanced as he was, a
member of the legislature ; what little induce
ment he could have to commit the crime of
which he was accused. He lamented that
there was in our language such a word as con
fruaive treason. He complained that the At
torney-General had over-Drained his charge,
and used words, that for the fake of candour
he wished had not been used.,
A number of evidences were examined in
favour of his Lordship, after which Mr. Ers
kine rose in behalf of his Lord Ship, and in the
course of an elegant fpeeth of near two hours
and an half, Strongly reprobated the illiberal
condud of the Attorney-General in this pro
secution, he declared upon his honour, that if
he had the offer of the Attorney-GeneralShip,
(an office which at the fame time he said, he
had no chance of ever attaining) he would not
accept it for all the world, if he ihould at the
fame time be bound to have the feelings which
at that moment attended it.
The period now arrived, when the duty of
the Chief Justice called upon him to sum up
the whole of the long and interesting evidence
that had been given.
The Chief Jufticehaving concluded, thejury
at § o'clock desired to withdraw. An officer
was accordingly sworn to conduct them to a
private room, and take care of them. After
an absence of, three quarters of an hour, the
iurv returned, and being called over, Lord
George Gordon was desired to hold up his
hand, and the foreman of the jury to fay whe
ther he was guilty or not guilty of the indict
ment he was charged with, who immediately
pronounced NOT GUILT Y, ana the rest of
the jury cried, so say we all.
After the tumult had subsided, Lord George
Gordon being refeued from the numbers that
pressed upon him with their congratulations,
came forward and addressed thejury in the fol
lowing words:
" Gentlemen of thejury you have done per
feaiy right in the verdid you have given. I
am not the person I was charged to be I de
clac to God, that lam as innocent as any one
cf you, and never designed any thing of trea
fr agdinft my King or country. Gentlemen,
in has b:en a wicked and infamous prosecution
— His LordSh'p was interrupted by the jury,
who cried oat, " Have done, my Lord; it
was a nice point."
Lord G. Gordon then concluded, " Gentle
men, 1 beg your pardon; excuse my warmth.
I heartily tha k you, and God bless you."
Jud e Willis then informed Lord George,
that he was difeharged, and ofcourfe at liberty
to depart ; and his Lord Ship, at near 6 o'clock
this morning went from the hall, attended by
his brothers the Duke of Gordon and Lord
William Gordon.

“ Since we have been here, the Nancy,
Grabb, belonging to the India Company, has
taken a Spanish ship near Ceylon, and lent her
in here; but (he no sooner came in than the
Admiral made a prize of her, and took her
from the Nancy ; so that the agents for that
ship are at law with the Admiral, and I sup
pose the affair will be decided in England.
The prize is very rich, having on board three

is riling 5 years old, 15 hands three inches high,
remarkably strong, bony and active, free from ble
mish; he is thought by very good judges to be the

Bold Forrester was got by Bold Tom, his Dame by

Mr. Hutchinson, at a very great expence. A true
pedigree, as witness my hand,
