Inc present number Of the Enquirer contains
the asst of the report which the Editor in
tends TO give of the G LEBE CASE.
compeat view Of the sabiect would ne.
cessary have embraced statement of Mr.
kandoiph's speech, and of the opinion of the
Judges To any report OF the last he is willing to
ADMIT that his powers were completely ncompe-
tant. He would have found it difficult to have
recorded upon his paper sufficient matter to make
Quit series OF reasoning, of which the Judges
compose their opinions: and impossible to have
taken down with his pen, those numerous refe
rences to authorities and law, with which their
opinions abounded. The principal reason, howe
Yer, which prevented him from noticing their
decision was, that compleat account of them
VIII certainly (and perhaps soon) be given TO ,he
public. If he had even entertained the same hon.,
mat the arguments of council would have been pub
iiShed; II he had ever expected that their plead
lngs would thave been consigned TO oblivion mr.
that they would have experienced the rood fortune
OF meeting with more competent reporter he
would never have ventured on the difficult task of
SWING an imperfect abstract even of their discus
| SION. 10 the public, however, some more salts
factory apology may be due, for his not atternpt-
ing TO report the speech of Mr. Randolph 7,
was not because this speech vas NOR. de6cien,
IN facts, or less conclusive IN its reasoning
| than the Others which preceded it. l. was he,
cause Mr.. Randolph had introduced more various
and numerous authorities; it was became he nd
| AIKEN in much wider range of argurns,t 3, f,nt
| It was because his topics were more n,scelIape,
Gus his language more elevated and netanhori
cal' that ne has found 1T to be impossible to rem
DER compleat or even equal Justice to his elabo
! rate investigation. From the notes on his sneecb
"hich ne mas before him, extensive and various
uhey are the Editor nnlecrlea sbe lore Of The
| eau, has found 1t impossible to extract an order
1
appointment which the public is likely to expert
ehCe But he believes it to be an obligation &c
saflct justice to Mr.. Randolph, TO make no abor
tive attempts to graft t6e public curiosity.

thoinas Logwood, was yeiterday brought
before the Federal Court, to receive fentence for
counterfelting the bank notes of the United
states. lnitead OF Introducing into one india-
ment, the various charges againft him for CONN
eterfeltlng 20, 5o' and 100 Dollar-notes, and
for forging gold money, they were branched ont
into i've different indictments 70 that if the
form ofthe firft indictments had been contrary
10 the rules OF law, thofe which fhould fuc-
| ceed 1t, might not contain the Objectionable
clauies. The court waits for the arrival of Mr..
Sumption, Gather of the Bank of the u. States
from Philadelphia, to put him on his trial ON
thefourth indictment. On the four Others hebas
| oeen tired and convicted by jury. The fecond
indictment was diimified from fome want of for
iiiahty. ne Court therefore intended to give
ientence on the frf, third and fifth only.
| Judge Marihall after having made his remarks
on the ormality of the indictments, proceeded
TO pronounce the fentence. He obferved. that
the punlihment was left by the law to the difcre-
tioh Oh the court; but that it could not exceed
| 10 years imprisonment, and fine of 5000 dolls.
that the prefent cafe feemed as atrocious. as anv
Gale could pofiiby be, and that it therefore me-
rited the very higheft punifhment which the Law,
had permitted the court to infiicf that he was
not one OF thoie, who thought that feparate
Puniihment could be inflicted for every feparate
charge; becauie according to this principle, the
pumihment might be 70 multiplied on the head
OF criminal, as to exceed the very greateit Ii
mt which the litter of the law had afJiqned .
and becaufe from the very nature of the crime
he did not believe the legislature had ever in
| tended that this limit ihould be exceeded, as
they would readily have conlidered that any ore
who would have undertaken to counterfeit one
note, would have extended their ingenuity to
notes OF different value that the court wouId
therefore fentence the criminal to the hiebel
term of imprisonment which the law mentioned
without pretending to multiply thofe terms for
each iepaTate charge: that as 70 the fine of 5000
dollars, which would fall moi heavily, not up-
on the Criminal, but upon his family, 81 which

| ought to reiinDurfe his defrauded creditors. tbe
Court was not 70 anxious to approach the reat-
| eft pofiioe limit they fhould condemn him to
| pay fine of only 500 dollars. The Court
therefore decided, that Thomas Logwood
mould be impriioned years and months, on
! the Firit indictment, and fined 400 dolars.-On
the Third Indictment, he fhould be mprifoned
2 months, and fined dollars And, on the
Fiith, months longer and dollars more
it IS preiumed that the executive council will
grant HIM lodging in theState Penitentiary.
