II may probably be recollecIed that the
Rev. Thaddeus Osgood of Connecticut, was
prosecuted, last year, for having uttered
some OF those common remarks concerning
Mr. JetfersOn's cl aracter, which are gener-
ally Ietuted to the satisfaction Of all thorough
going democrats, by denomnating them
fe.eraf R6els. In Connecticut however some
OF the Presidents f1i ers had the hardi-
hood to make a TENT IS though they were
wiling to bring the merits OF these Iederak
lfbets TO the test of court of Justice. An
interesting trial was expected. Tie result
Is stated IN the following extract from tie
Connecticut Herald, OF the 5th instant.
Rsp.l
A new bill o" indictment against the Rev
AZel Backus was read, the former having
been dropped by the Attorney, probably Tor
its inSuinciency. The case was continued
till next term under the same conditions as
that of Hudson < Goodwin.
The Judge then 0 served, that there was
no other case for trial this term except that
of United States rs. Thaddeus Osgood, and
inquired Of the Attorney if he was ready to
proceed to trial The following dialogue
ensued:
Counsel for Mr.. Osgood. We are ready,
may it please the court.
District Attorney. | am not ready, may
it please the court.
Judge Edwards. Why are you not
ready
District Attorney. The witnesses are
not here.
Judge Edwards. Why are not your wit
nesses here 1t is hard for man to be de-
tanned here because your Witnesses are not
ready. Call over your witnesses and see
how many you have P. esent.
District Attorney. Nv 18th much hesita-
Jon and diriculty,) The witnesses are alb
sc it-because-Itold them they need not be
4ere,
Judge Edwards. How came you to tell
them so
Ehe Counsel for Mr.. Osgood interrupted
lhls dialogue, by making motion to quasi
ne indictment, observing that they would
lot ouble the Attorney y call IN ms wit
-Ssses.
The Attorney seized the bin, and declar
ed he would enter a mile prosequi, which LIE
sccordngly did.
The Judge tReh addressed Mr. Osgood.
md informed MN he was at liberty, AM
might 80 whele lie pleased.
