that the custom-house authorities overhauled the ship at

was shelled by the blockading squadron, and ran as the
Confederate shone. He did not believe that all the goods

proneded to remark upon the satteeedittely nature of the
ease that had bees attempted to be established on the
part of the prosentios, sod argued that It wee
almost impossible to believe that the wittiness had
spokes the bath or that Captain White could have acted

given by the whom Craig. and said it was clear, eves
assordisg to his own showing, that he was ea accomplice In
the Man if a crime had is point al feet been committed,
and said that the jury would not be *tilled in Ming upon

only loured for 2,0004 He amid also prove that the
vessel would have earned 700 i. for freight upon this
voyage, according to the terms upon which she eau char-
terse, and that the whole of this sum was lost by her being
wrecked ; and he cominded by alio; that before the jury
could return a verdict cie guilty, they must come to the
oceolusios that the prisosers had soddenly come to the de-
termination to commit this atrocious offence without re-
ceiving the slightest benefit or advantage in any way what-
ever ; and he said he hoped the jury would return a verdict
that would and the gentlemen at the bar back to their
families without the slightest stain ups the character
