" The Grand Jury are hippy to inform the Court.
that no violent disturbance of the public tranqnslß:
ty, or breach of the laws, has come to their knott-
ledge.
We have no hesitation in declaring, that hav-
ing carefully ezamined and scrutinized all the turti-
mony which has come before us, as well nn the
charge against Aaron Burr, as those contained in
the iudietment preferred to us against John Adair,
that there has been no testimony before us which
does in the smallest degree criminate the condat of
either of those persons; nor can we, from all the
inquiries and investigation of the subject, discover
that any thing improper or injurious to the interest
of the government of the United States, or con.
Wary to the laws thereof, is contemplated by either
of them."
