not produced at the examination. Col Ogden
and MIR. J. Williarnlon appeared as council for
the general, and Mr.. Abortion, father of tho
decealed, without council, on the part of tho
ftare.
Ii appears from the ltatement of the evidences
that the afray took place the evening after
training at Knowltou in fad county, and the

clear to him that there had been no evidence
given to prove murder; for it happened on a
iudden quarrel; 10 evidence had been given Of
previous malice. He then Rated :hss if two
men quarrel tuddenly, and one of them draw
