CRESTON ALIAS WALSINGHAM-

| A paper of which the following is Co
| py, was found in the jail of Fncastle, on the
same morning that the fate of that unfor
tunate man was discovered and of whom
some notice has already been taken in our
| former numbers.
On being brought before a Court called
for the purpose, Bail TO the amount of two
thousand dollars was demanded for his ap--
pearance at the next Term This Bail
Walsingham obtained and offered to the
court but we are told that. on the sugges
tlon OF the States attorney, the further sum
OF thousand dollars was required. 1t was
then on the exorbitance of a demand which
| ne deemed oppressive, that this ill fated man
| formed his final desperate determination. -
Whatever may have been his failings or his
crimes, the following cannot he read with
! indifference by any man of sense or sensibil
| ity.
The object and end Of justice is defeat
