EXCHEQUER.--(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Westminster.—Trial at Bar, before Mr.
Baron PARICE, Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Baron
ROLFE, and r. Baron PLATT.)
BURON V. DENMAN.

This case was resumed this morning.
Mr. M. D. KILL proposed to put in evidence a
letter from the Earl of Aberdeen to the Board of
Admiralty, discountenancing proceedings similar to
those of the nefendant.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Objected to its being put
in unless some documents referred to in the margin
of the letter were given.
Mr. M. D. HILL declined to put in the letter upon
such conditions. The depositions of William Alitehell,
a seaman on board the Wanderer, at the time of the
descent made upon the coast of the Gallinas by the
defendant—the depositions, which extended to some
considerable length, corroborated in the main the
statements made by the previous witnesses.
Mariano Dines was recalled, and

Mr. M. D. HILL, through the medium of an inter
preter, asked him whether Mr. Buron could have any
access to the stores after the sentries had been placed
over them by the defendant ? to which the witness
replied, " He could not."

In at.swer to a question put by the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL witness said that the sentries were stationed
for more than one day at Dombocorro, sentries wc,re
Placed at the stores at Kamopora, and at Chiccore.
They were stationed at Kamopora until the 23d,
when the stores were fired. The sentries were
stationed at Chiccore from the 19th to the 23d in
elusive, and were withdrawn when the stores were
fired.

This concluded the case on the part of the plaintiff.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then rose to address the
jury on behalf of the defendant. It was difficult for
any British advocate to address a jury called upon to
estimate in money value their fellow human beings,
and the value of the goods used for the purpose of
carrying on traffic in human flesh. When they con-
sidered what in truth was the great and main truth
in this case, and remembered that by the instrument
of this cause, the defendant, having acted in the man-
ner which became him as an officer in her Majesty's
navy, the case was one of the most vital importance,
and he might be well excused if at the present time
he felt that his exertions would be totally in-
adequate for the occasion. In the consideration
of this case his Learned Friend (Mr. Hill) would
forgive him if he declined to follow him into the
many topics which he had introduced in his address
yesterday. They had now nothing to do with what
was the former practices of this country upon the
slave trade, nor was it his duty to enlist the sympa•
thies of the jury against the plaintiff upon this occa-
sion. It was their duty to administer the law as
they found it, neither had they anything to do with
that speculative inquiry or statement of his Learned
Friend which appeared to him far more adapted for a
meeting where the question of slavery was under
consideration, than for an important occasion like the
present; still less had they to deal with the matter of
that policy which his Learned Friend condemned, or
to enter into the difficult question of the circumstances
of a Parliament, which, having made great sacrifices
for the emancipation and perfect freedom of their
fellow- men, was said to be guilty of the inconsis-
tency of purchasing the produce of slave labour.
(The case was proceeding v, hen our report left.)
