and promotion of Mr. Coßly, that is pall; but you I
might as well attempt, by putting your font upon
the earth, to flop its circumvolution, as flop the de
termined and well earned pardon and promotion of
that molt excellent young man. I d 6 hope, thereforts

is, to the full arnount of the damages laid m thede•

Mr. Daum., in fpeaking to evidence, conjured
the Jury to avoid, if pollible,• fuffering their minds
to be warped, or their intellects fafcinated by the
eloqudnt Itatement made to them—they were to
ditcharge every political idea from their contempla-
tion, and return a verdift commenfurate to the da-
mages which the houfe of Mrs. Byrne had at:Wally
Curtained. A verdid againft his client they were
hound to give, but it was for them to regulate their
confciences, and guard againft a vindietive one.
Mr. M.lslais.y, an reply, took a new and accurate
"fpecies of review of this tntrifaCtion, converting
.it
with the outrage committed on the houfe of Mr.
Wilkes, under a fpecious infirument of legal autho-
rity, marking the liberality of a Britilh Jury in all
cites wee the boufe, or as the law lays, the cattle,
of the proprietor is,outraged or invaded.—We hope
this tranfaition may nerve as a beaten to forewarn
zealots of all dercriptintis how they piefume to grap-
ple with the laws of this country, free as air fur the
peafant as well as the peer.
At four o'clock the Jury retired s and, after being
lacked up for four hours, at eight found a verditt fur
the PladitilL—nol. damages, and ll:pence colts.
