Sin.,--As the very inaccurate report Witieh .has
appeared of the trial of 774Ontas.Stewart for re-
ceiving stolen goods is.liable to produce an int-
.
pression on the puh:*e mind that the circum-
stances were not sufficiently strong to warrant a
prosecution, I beg I may be permitted, through
the medium of y.our paper, to state that Mr. An-
dreivs, the Counsel retained for the prosecution.
(who wlis alone acquainted with the various facts,
and capable of proving, beyond all doubt, from,
the eVidenee which was ready to be adduced, of
the ruperty in qUeztion having been. stolen), was
absent froin Court, and the afrair committed to
the care of another gentleman, who evWently bed
not had *sOfficient tithe to pert* the brief ; his
detail of runny of the circumstances differing me.
terially from the facts therein set forth. the ease
is, I received information from several books
lers (who were well assured the property must
hare been stolen)) that several of my new publi-
cations were,i4elling at the shop of the defendant,
Stewart, at,Que-third of the regular price ; unit
having, through my clerk, ascertained the truth
v,,e!
of this statedient, I repaired myself to the de-
fendanet shop, and there found a large nuniber
of bOOki, which I instantly recognized and
. .
claimedas my property, and the defendant refus•
ipg to state from Whom be received thett, was
brought 'before Mi. Braivitt, the'Magistrate gar
-11oiv=street,, iVho being full}, convin'eed; from all
the circumstances, that Alley were dishonestly ob.
tattled, .aofi4ell, knowing the serionS losses to
whit!' publishers- ire liable, in having frequently
their moat valuable bOokt stolen and sAl'as'wasts
paper,. strongly advised the prosecution of the re-
ceiver, Stewart, justly observing, that the h?ok
trade tviti a'very valuable' one; and aught to be
iretected. at•lnuch as posbihlts.' • '
The objection taken by the defendant's Cotta.
sd,ihat tleire was no proof of robbery, and which
suddenly put an end to the trial, arose from the
circumstance of my-o Wis 'counsel inquiring %% hen
the'books .svere missed, s titrestioti which' could
opt .be answered, as they had trever,been missed,
and could not tveli be from the nature of thei
bookselling Business ; but if my counsel bud beets
allowed to proceed with 'the examination of 'my,
clerk, wOuldltave , been . satisfactorily prOVtil
that they most have been stolen; for after the
eopies of flamilton's Merpoiis (47 in' number)
were discovered at Stewart'a, an examination of
the nember of copies printed and sold, 'and thOia
still. on hand. took place, by,,which means it was
cleathrlaseertained that there :Was' at deficlenci of
59 copies : another proof equally strong is, tbai
three copies of Langsdokft's Traeela Were alio
found in the, defendant's possessipn, in Sheets,
mode in which that work was never sold to any
one, and etinseqnently they' must have been' also
ptirloined front my warehouse. ;As 'a Waller cor
roboration of . the .fact, it.being: also of the'Arst
iMportince, that I should discover the person of
whom Stewart received_ the books, 1 have by
