Smith, charged with uttering two ferged 11. bank notes.
The trial occupied the attention of the Court 7 hours,
and the jury did not take more than one minute to
pronounce
_a vet-Met of Not Guilty. What marks this
case more particularly is, the, fortitude of the prisoner
in resisting the litany efforts, humanely in'euded, no
doubt, before the trial, to ;mine: her to plead guilty to
the minor offence, and thus save herself from tlo,ohance

they lose all energy of character, and sink into a list-
