entn.ged tiit nyy.f Term, the delend,int, who at pre
sent stood corn shoiCd liberated on bail.

must continue in pinion oriw4 the vacation, while it
w;tS even rt.)iiciitil whether he might ulttmately be
ahk to wita,.ll,,h his innocence. At the same time,
the (kleinlaut Ravin q been late in bringing forward,
thiS application for a new trial, it would not bi-! doing
justice to th, 00.)er suitors in thie Court,, to,
the defendant's case to come on mpreterence to the
other business which had the precedence, and of

Mr, A FT,IRN EV...Lk:NKR AL. said, lie was authorized
by Mr. Harrison to say, that he had no objedion

think reasonable. Whatever they inigln propose,
the prosecutor would cheerfully ;34tiiescc in. 11,e

to
this, on the contrary, hu consented, on the part of lite
