are other facts which I do not think,myself justified

in stating to you, however confidently they are
stated to tne, because I have no' proof of them.
Another count in the Declaration applies to another
transadion. I cannot prove it, and therefore I will
not state it. The transaaion of which I have proof
is, that which I have stated to you,' and it ;applies
only to the first toothin the Declaration. I am
ready to go into the proof, as I have stated, if his

L-ord "Kitt this case exists as stated, it
is a Felony of the most atrpcious. kind, and it
ought to be .prosecuted. I think the Plaintiff
should immediately commence a Prosecution upon
this case, or admit that he is an infamous`slanderer.
There is no medium in this case, it is all iniquity
one way or the other.. Ido not know Mr. White,
but I have some faint. recolledion of his name oc„
curring in a case tonne time ago, before me. If the
story related this day be true, he ought to be
brought before the Public, nor ayill it do for him to
say, if he sells these Mortal Drugs, " Aty piverty

Magistrate, and they Were eXamined upon oath,
when the most dreadful conspiracy that ever was
inveided, was partly disclosed. I am, glad I have
not the pain of opening' it."
Mr. Glntis.---" I speak only of faits as they, are

were stated, as I was instruded, I bad proof Of

Mr. Gmtitow.`"•-•`" I am glad this matter has
been stated in the hearing of the A TTORNEY GE-
