PICTON'S TRIAL.—In the account of this Trial,
which appeared in fume of the London papers on the

words made ufe of by Mr. DALLAS, in his defence of
Colonel Ptcrins :—" When, therefore, it was heard
in Trinidad, that Gentral Ptcren was found guilty
on the ground of torture not being anth.,rifed, the
Deputy Governor (rnea:ling the Lieutenant Governor,
Colonel HisLor), for hit own vindication, having made
vie of it, as well as for the juftification of the fen
dant, immediately employed himfelf," &c. &c. We
have received the authority of Mr. DALLAS, to fay
that the words imputed to him in the ftatement in
queftion, implying that General Hiss°, had ufed, or
permitted torture, were never made ufe of by him.
We have further to ftate, from the molt unquettioned
authority, that torture never was at any time fanc-
tioned by Governor liisLor.
