Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1807-05-27
MoNpAY. MAJ 25th. 18oz.

Present the same judges as on Saturday
The grand jury appeared in court and
on its being stated by the foreman that they
had been two days confined to their cham
bers, and had no presentmcnt to make, or
bills before them; Mr.. Hay observed that
he had two bills prepared, bat wished to
suspend the delivery of them, till the wit
Resses were called, and it was ascertained
that all the evidence relied upon bv the
counsel for the prosecution, could be had.
lie thought it probable, that, in the course
of a week, he should hear of Gen. Wilkin-
son, who was still absent, and whose testi-
mony was deemed very important.
A further conversation took place as to
the propriety Of adiourninG the grand Jury
TO a distant day Of the term and Monday
next was mentioned as the time when they
would probably he reilrcCi to attend.
The chief Justice observed that from the
researches which he had been enabled to
make, I've was still inclined to favor the OPT
Mon which he had expressed on Saturday,
that there was no necessity for calling the
grand Jury emery dau. This opinion was
the result Of his reflections upon hrfneihIe,
not from any positive authority on the SUBJ
ject.
Mr.. Wickham having stated that AZ a
number Of witnesses were attending at a
considerable distance on the part Of Col.
Burr, it might be important 90 know when
the grand Jury would be again called Mr..
Hay observed that motion might be made
which would render their presence neces-
sary even on that day.
Mr.. Wickham then requested that be-
fore any order should be taken in relation
to the adjournment OF the grand jury, the
counsel for the United States might state
the nature and object OF MS motion.
Mr. Hay. The object Of my motion is to
commit Mr.. Burr, OF a charge ofhigh trea-
son against the United States. On his eI-
animation, there was no evidence of an o.
vert act, and he was committed for a mis-
demeanor only. The evidence is different
now.
Mr.. Wickham hoped that the application
might be made, and counsel heard.
Mr.. Hay. Gentlemen may be assured
that they will be apprised of the apPlisa,i-
Virginia Argus. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1796-1816, 1807-05-27

Tin but is it their wish that the applieatlA
on should be made, and the subject discuss
scd in presence of the grand Jury "a
| Col Burr. The gentleman has mistaken
| the object of my counsel, as far rs it is CONF
pretended in my motion. The design was
not that the grand jury might hear, but
that the impropriety Of mentioning the
subject in the presence Of the grand Jury
might be made more manifest. l think is
may be demonstrated that while there is
grandjury attending before whom question
may be determined, there is an obvious im-
propriety in submitting it to any osher tris
bunai for any other purpose. s., ,-..-
The grand jury were requested to>witk.
draw 49,. ..i..N ~
Mr. Hay renewed his application, stating
more az large the grounds on which it wa;
made. The discussion of this question took
up the time of the court till NEARLY five o.
clock, when it adjourned without coming
to any decision. l.,,,1
During the discussion the grand Jury re.
quested to be brought into court; and if il
should be deemed improper fo, them TO
hear any arguments which might be ada
dressed to the court, they wished them to
be suspended while they were present.
: They were accordingly brought int court.
and a wish being expressed thatthsy would
not listen 10 the discussion of the subject
then before the court, they were adjourned
until the next day, twelve o'clock

-SOO, 1oO(. "a
Present the same judges as yesterday.
, The following witnesses appeared i'm be-
half OF the United States, and were bound
in recognizance of one thousand dollars
each, for their attendance on the court.
Jon c.. Henderson, Alexander Hender-
son, Eric Bollman, Samuel Swartwout, Ro-
bert Spence, William Eaton, John Morgan,
George Morgan and Thomas Morgan. e..
ID The names ofthe following persons, sum-
moned as Witnesses on the part Of the Uni
ted States, were called, but they did not
appear.
Ambrose Smith, Hugh Phelps, James
Read, William Duane, Lconcre Dovaine,
Thomas Peterkin, Elias Glover, Samuel
Fairlamb, James Lowry Donaldson, Will
am Wilson and William c. Meade. a..
The counsel for Col. Burr observed, that,
if it was the pleasure of the court, the dis
cussion intended for this day on the propri-
ETY. of giving special instructions to the
grand jury, would take place on Monday
This proposition was assented to. ~
The grandj jury appearing pursuant to adj
journment, the Chief Justice Informed them
that the absences of a witness deemed i'm
portant by the counsel for the United States
and the uncertainty of his arrival at any
particular period, made it necessary that
bC ney were aC-
cordingly adjourned till Monday.
Some conversation ensued between the
court and bar with respect to the propriety
of adjourning the grand jury to some dis
tent day in the term.
The Chief Justice stated it as his oDini-
on that as there was no necessity for calling
over the names of the grand jury every
day, they might be considered in contem :
piation of still in their. chambers till
they were called into court; and that it
might be understood that they would not
be called till some particular day. This,
he said, was the practice in some of the
States, nor did he know any sound obicc-
ton toit But, unless it was considered by
counsel CT both sides that this course was
free from all exception, he should be I'M
wiling, on any account, to adopt it,
The counsel for Col. Burr stated that
they knew no objection to the measure, but
were unwilling to express any decided OPT
Mon, especially as Col. Burr was not then
in court.
The Chief Justice said that lie felt much
inclined to accommodate the grand Jury {;
but until farther consideration of the sub
ject, they would stand adjourned till Mon
day next.

shall object is col. Wilson Cary Nicholas.
That gentleman feels towards me a per-
sonal enmity sufficiently strong, pre-
sumo, to blind the judgment Of the wisest
of men.
Col. Wilson c. Nicholas rose and adj
dressed the court as follows:
My being in this situation, certainly was
not thing of choice. When I was sum-
moned by the Marshal, I urged him, in
the strongest manner, TO excuse me.
i mentioned to him, that it would be ex-
tremely inconvenient TO me 20 attend the
court, aud that it would be very unplea-
various relations in which / had stood TO
Col. Burr. had been in Congress at the
time when the attempt was made to elect
Col. Burr President Of the II. S. Ny feel
ings and opinions on that occasion, were
well known. had served three years in
che Senate while Col. Burr was President
of the body, and was one of those, who,
previous 20 the last election, had taken a
very decided part in favor Of the nomina-
zion Of the present Vice-President for the
Office at that time filed by Col. Burr.
Moreover, from the time Col. Burr first
went TO the western country, my suspicious
we're very much excited, as 20 his probable
objects in that part Of the United States /;
in consequence of which, gave early, and
perhaps too great credit, to the charges
which were brought against him. Such
was my opinion Of the Importance Of New
Orleans, not only to the prosperity, but to
The union OF the States, that had felt un-
