sides, his honor the mayor, (although the
court had, with great patience, listened for
three DAYS 10 the evidence and the codn-
SELL recapitulated all the testimony with
great minuteness, accompanied with re-
marks as he went along, and delivered the
cause to the jury just before O'Clock this
morning. They retired for few minutes,
and returned with verdict in favor Of the
defendant; verdict, which, ! venture to
say, metwith the appreciation of every i'm
partial spectator. In the course Of the
charge, the mayor said, that Mr.. Baldwin
had satisfactorily made good the charges
which he had published and that, instead
of finding him guilty Of a libel, he deserved
the thanks mot only OF the jury, but Of every
honest man in this community, for having
exposed scene of fraud and wickedness
almost unparalleled. As correct report
of this case is preparing, and will shortly
appear from the press Of Mr.. Baldwin him
self, from minutes taken in court by gen.
tleman of uncommon accuracy, and as the
sale Of this report will be all that he can
expect 10 remunerate him for the expense
which this vexatious trial has involved him
in, i, is hoped that the preference will be
given by purchasers TO his pamphlet. To
this report therefore, must refer the public
for more particular account OF what pass
ed at this extraordinary trial, in the issue
Of which the character Of The state OF New
York is deeply implicated, When this re-
port appears, il will develope sach train
Of fraud and iniquity, as will amaze every
reader. Counsel for the prosecution, Pierre
c. Van Wyck, District Attorney, Peter A.
Jay, and John Welles, Esquircs. For the
defendant, Joseph D. Fay, David B. Og-
den, and Josiah o. Hoffman, Esquires.
