letter which this unfortunate run addressed to a
friend on, Saturday last. If it be true that the pro-

pioceedings.

which Mr. Jenkyrts bad on the road, pould be
necessary; but at the late hoer of nine O'clock, alter
so long a journey, and without preparation, with
no friend or legal adviser, I was sent for to the Of.
