ted, with one hours ntermisson only, until Friday
morning past four o'clock, when the Jury retired
and returned in few minutes with a verdict of not
guilty. -
During the whole of this arduous and highly i'm
portant trial, Judge Van Ness presided with spr-
it of candor, patience, dignity and frmness, which
called forth the unqualified applause of all present,
and which indeed the occasion most emphatically
demanded. e.. :
To convict the accused, the Attorney General,
Mr.. Emmett, eNerted, with the utmost zeal and
energy, his great and splendid talents and on the
part OF Gen. Thomas Messrs. Price, Russell, Foot,
and Williams exhibited no ordinary degree of skill,
integrity and eloquence. -
A gentleman present took notes of the trial, the
particulars of which shall hereafter be enabled to
lay before readers. We shall therefore onl,
add at present, that verdict in the annals of ouI
Jurisprudence ever gave more general heartfelt
satisfaction, than that which was rendered in thi
case. Resi:fer.
