Mr.. l7ay proceeded, and read several d:

narrated an instance Of q case which &C.
CURED in fredericksburg. Some young
men were brought before the court GA !

custody Of the jailor. When they went
out, they went where they pleased. The
jailor was ordered before the court forcon.
tempt of court. The defence OF the TAILOR
was, that he regarded himself as the per.
son responsible, and as the young men had
attended at the hour required, tina. he had
performed his duty. The jailor was as-
quilted.
Mr.. Hay concluded by making several
severe remarks on the speechof Mr.. Ram

therefore wish to know whether the court
sees any improperly, or If it be legal, that
Aaron Burr should deliver up this letter,
If II contain matter crimiaa.ing himself.
B Chief 1ustice. Certainly no man can be
called upon to produce evidence which
may crimate himself; but If col. Burr,
thinks proper voluntarily to produce any
letter which the grand jury may require.

Chief Tustice. No man can be compel
