Trial of the Ktanisions.

Som after the late Trial Of The Remission for
Robbery, we were solicited from various quarters
to obtain and publish ia our paper an account of
that trial TO CRAFTY the curiosity of the public,
we made application 10 three gentlemen of the bar
IN this town, Messrs. Pickererng Saltonstali end
Merrill. who were present at the trial. and had
each OF them taken minutes of the evidence Of all
the witnesses; the Report of the Evidence soon az
ter published, was formed from careful comparison
Of their notes. They are not Stenographers. and
did not attempt TO perform what is impossible to be
performed by any who are not expert aud skilful
stenographers--they did not attempt TO report the
evidence in the form Of Question and Answer: but
they endeavonred 10 give faithful abstract Of All
tue evidence material on either side.
About week since, another Report IF the Fv
idence and Arguments Of Counsel al this trial was
published at Boston.
