Z Our latest adyices from Richmond are
only up 70 Saturday Last. On the pre-
ceding Wednesday, ! jury Nas compile
ted for the trial or Col. Burr on the charge
or misdenieanor. A few Witnesses
were examined, when Mr., Botts on the
part Of the respondent. m,sed the court
to arrest The testimony, on me following
: + /. That under .he q. Of cops.tss.
there can be no aecessorial offender, 1. q.
none are within the pains Of the statute
but such as are acting at the fact. y.
q: nthe 6rst point be not sustainable, ;.
no act Of col Burr out ofthe district can
be given in evidence against him. - :.
5. Again. if the FIRST point be not sus-
tainable, no act of aecessoriai ageucy can
be given in evidence on this indict rnent,
charging the offence of acting At the
Island, and not specially that the indic.es
did the acesssorial act. - 81 p ~ 81.
&. That If the foregoing points Be, not
sustainable, still no evidence OF an ac-
cessorial agency could be given till the
record ofthe conviction of an actor in
the expedition Be produced. Z
S. That the acts on Blanerha.sett's
island cannot amount TO providing OF
preparing the means, ora beginning or
setting on foot = military expedition there.
This point resolves itself into two others.
fat. There was nc, military, expedition in
ma.urity. ABLY. Hthere was militia.
ry expedition in Progress there, il was
mot begun or set on foot there, nor we're
the means provided or prepared thereon.
In;enquifing Into what constitutes the
offence under the act Of Congress, he
commended that the act was 80 uncertain
and ambiguous that itneves could be car.
ried into eSscutiou., He argued that
providing the means spoken Of 10 the act
| Of congress required the entire means ;
thatthe means must be, not pf an ex.
petition merely, but ola military char.
acter tho most essential means Of q mill,
