Stiy--Your Correspondent, TIMOTHY TatiMAN,
appears to me to make a .dissisittiou without a dif-
ference. He admits that a Judge may set up his
Cons ruction of the law, but osst for Lew. Of
what use would the Exposition of a Judge be to a
Joey, if this opinion of your Correspondent were to
prevail, tamely, that such Esinisitious and Con•
.
abortions were sot so be received and taken by them
for Law ? Juries ere iu general ignorant of the Lew ;
and if the explanations necessary to be made to them
should not be received with due confidence, what
anarchy and confusion, instead of order and decorum,
would take place in our Courts of Jagless. I should be
glad to know, from your ingenious Correspondent,
what be bee to offer in explanetiou of this difficulty,
upon a matter of sack great importance ; and remain,
yaw's, &C.
