Mr. ANDREWS replied in the affirmative. Their nation
were Mr. James and Mr. NiTilsen.

The RECORIAII. inquired whether' the prosecutor was pre.

Mr. Dunn then appeared; and being asked by the Corr:**
whether he had any objection to the bad now produced, he
said that he had but a very short time ago received notice that
bail was to be produced.
The RECORDER asked if he had any objection to the bail.
Mr. Dunn -said he had a right to 48 hours' notice; and he
had another objection—it was unconstitutional.
The RECORDER.—Don't talk to rue o constitution, that's
nonsense. The question is, whether you have any sound obu
jection to the bail now produced.
Mr. Dunn then proceeded to state to the Court the various
expences he had incurred in fees to Counsel, &c. He thought
it was very hard he could not have sufficient notice.
The RECORDE it said, that he did not sit there to sell
tice, but to del justice to all parties. He would not allow any
one to exercise their passions or private animosities in this
Court.
