dient. In *elling to all these, be winnowed to nominate
his own Uoisiorel, who were upon his dance appointed to
defend him. It would be too much new to say, that the
Primmer encountered his stoners in am eaten streak. A
charge so Innen, as the attempt to alter or destroy the
existing furs of Goverment, and set up anther, required
the nicest deliberation throughout. 11 had beer admitted on
all hands that the 11111111110R1110011 of Ministers was the object of
the omeepirecy. This had beets admitted in the broaden and
most aliened terms. The object, as it woe really proved. was
the overthrow of she Gaiveranneet. The obieel, se angosted,
and net in any dtree proved, was the view of plunder to be
made in the mantes. Yet, in the emblem of his Lensed
Felon yesterday (Mr. Curwood's) it hod hero admitted that
she conspiracy arse* out of political views. Thee whet
foundation was there for the ingestion superstructure of
his Leaned Frieed (Mr. Adolphus), that the reel inject was
esirielreseat from pleader? When his Learned Friend pointed
out what he deemed the ridiculous improbability of tire plot,
he would est whether the project which be (Mr. A.) imposed
to the conspirators, was out a great deal more extravagant
mod ineredilisk? He would not go out if the evidence a single
step to press entwining motion the Prison, either lay sue-
mien or recitals, which were on fairly ded:seible from, or
strictly connected with, that evidence. He denied the wa-
gering) that the evidence of treason derailed entirely on
Adams. Strike Adams's testimony out of their ewes, and there
would he enough left to convict the Primmer of Inane. He
relied their onetime to the eitealloo of Adeess,whom modest
lentil he embarked Is the conspiracy, the Learned Gesticulate
seemed to thin anespesebehk. He argued the necessity of
admitting the evidence of accomplices. There was no rah
of law which applied to suns evidence that did mot apply
to every other wanes. Besides, wheel the evidence of an se.
eomplice went to eliminate himself as well as others, what
earthly motive could he have in telling more than the troth?
The troth was all be was required to give and it was on
that coaditioa that he received his pardon'. the Learned
Gentleman thee penned out the tests by which the credit of
evidence is usually weighed. He insisted on it, that by all
these tests Adams was a oilmen. Brent bad known hint
nag before. There was nothing to abew that there was a
single blot in the previous history of that MM. He then
recited some of the particulars of Adams's ',lance, which
affected the person at the bar, mid contrasted its felons
with the neatness of evidesee called for the defamer. Coo-
idiom strictly to the evideace emit affected Thistiewood, he
asked what assignable 'motive could be imposed foe such

the impracticability of a plot was an ample preventive from
undertaking it. Look at the celebrated conipiracy of anti-

pared with the protest, was wildness mud extravagauce

there was the noisopenhable testimony of Hildra. The
simouncement of the dinner at Lord Flerroirby's was no
fabrication, as had been pretended. The tickets were regu-
larly issued, and she butler had proved that preparation were
made. He ridiculed the improbabality of the surmise that
the whole plot was mastered from end so end by Edwards.
The massacre of Ministers mast have been underlabre as
an insurrectionary act, and the defence, io admitting that,
abandoned the rase. He gave a reason why the Crown had
