LORD SgI.KIRK'S COLONY.
Our Readers have probably heard of this Colony;

Public, that any information tending to extend this

knowledge, cannot but prove acceacceptable.lowing letter explains some of the circumstancesll
under which the undertaking originated, and de.
tails of sobiequent events are curious. Of the gene-

'Other evidences were called on both side:
secondary circumstances, but the facts by 6316
most relevant to the issue joined between the pant
in suit, were comprised within the above testirreini..
Mr. Whitfield, the plaintiff, had possession of
estate for more than two years, previous to the
monthepossession by the defendant, and it w 433.
that excessive labour, severity of treatment, arid 4;

two years, had driven them into that despendet,
