Whose beavety name the bosom warms,
When fteezing Winter wakes in storm, !

Where Spleen and sullen Pomp reside,

Fashion twines her fading wreath,

Love elects his dwelling-place.

Smiling Fancy there is found,
Tripping light on fairy-ground,

sweetly pours, with fond employ,
simple lays of rural joy !

of the wound being inflicted, he exptessed
greatest regret, and that his solicitude was ex-
urgent for the situation of the deceased ; so
that he went to see him, waited on his me-

attendant to inquire his &tiger, and seemed to
severely that he had been so unfortunate as to
him. The prisoner's character was also repre-
,
an honourable light.
The Chief Justice cited the law on homicide, reca-
' the evidence, and stated to the Jury, that,
malice or predisposition to commit murder
sheWn against the prisonur, he conceived he
to be found guilty of that crime, but of
ighter. The Jury retired for a short time, and
irned with a verdict of—Not Guilty.
