He felt, be avowed it, a lasponr of mind, noel a distaste
which worst always occur to one who had Hasa twice the
same pound. He had no power of varying hie silement,
except by abbreviating it. Hr knew what • difficult teak it
was; hot he still recommended they to divest their minds
of all that had taken place on the previous trial. In the
address of the Solicitor.Gateirsl, he wined to roe forward
with a feeling oft-retails success, as if conscious of the tried
force of the evidence. lie (Mr. Adolphus) thought he shoteld
prove haeonsistencies mod novelties in she stateneeed of
Adams, such as would diminish the force of it. The Solici-
tor-General had asked, if et could be said that • mimeos

Grimm!, the witness bad procured a conditional iorknewity.
Ile came into Court in chains and fetters; he was net • free
man ; his fears made him roger to prove enough to secure
a pardon. He had no dread of contraelictio• from hie sr-
rompliers; fur they must be tried and acqoitted be-
fore they could appear as witnesses. It was a talent which
be could nut have expected from the law Officers, he

whatever they might have to say in favour of the Prisoner,
or in contradiction to the lesiimony—that they were in
clanger of apprehension the moment they entered the Court,
and that a ruusielerable reward hail been offered far the de-
tection of one of them. It was a taunt then to call fur the
evidence of men under such circumstances, which appeared
rather liken taunt at the weakunis of the defence them a run_
'tenon of the strength ref the prosecution—it was more like

had fallen than a well-founded assurance of his joist nwie-
H. thought it hut fair to stale to the Jury that the
Me...urea Counsel bad biers wholly baffled in their attempts
to inert the evidence oe the other aisle. It was the role soot
custom in these cases to furnish the Prisoner with the par-
ticulars of the accusation, and a list of the woorsees who
might be called upon to prove them ; but in this case they
had brio furnished with a list of upwards of 150 witnesses,
without knowing from what part of the hat the accusation
would be aupporteil, and of Cllll,lle 1.111141.11 hawing any

seal such ulna-miaow.

Mr. ADoLPHUS would not press hi• nbnervation if die-

hut fair that the Jury should koow the ►eases why the de-
fence was not better prepared to sweet the evidence of the
