FROM OuVutos, Wv 4 paper
AT the court OF oyer ani terminer, Soon
oogize, commonly called rommy-Jemmy,
the Seneca chiei, who was indicted tor the
murder of ssuaw accused of wltchcrait, was
arrsigued on the indictment during the sec
end day Of the court; and after having the
charge explained to him by hlr. Jones, the
Interpreter, by the advice OF his counsel,
plead not guilty, with permission to with
draw the plea at any time before the trial,
and substitute one to the jurisdiction OF the
court Accordingly, the next day his coun-
sci InterpOsed plea, which IN substance SCI
forth, that long before the settlement OF the
late colony OF New York, and long before
the state of New York became sovereign
anu Inde dependent state, the Seneca nation oil
indians was free and independent nation.
possessing and exercising the rights and
powers Of sovereignty, among which lhey
had hitherto always possessed and exercised,
and still possess aud lawfully exer,lse, the
exclusive right to try and punish members
OF their own nation for offences committed
against other members of the nation within
tbem territory, and particularly for the crime
of murder so as aforesaid committed; which
offences were exclusively cognizable by the
chiefs, sachems and principal warriors OF
tue nation, from time TO time assembled.
The plea then set forth that the prisoner and
the deceased we're and always had been
members OF the nation, and that the offence
stated in the indictment was committed
within the territory belonging to the Sene-
c,s. and concluded in the usual form, with
a PRAYER whether the court OF oyer and ter
miner could or would take any further cog
pizance of the matter To this plea, the
district attorney, Dir. Potter, replied, trav-
ersing every fac, alleged in the plea, and
rendering an issue 10 the country, which
was joined BY the prisoner, and jury I'M
pannelIed for his trial. In support OF tue
plea, the counsel for the prisoner produced
several treaties concluded between the
United States and The Seneca nation, which
they contended completely recognized the
Indians as an independent and sovereign
power. Several witnesses, among whom
was the celebrated Red Jacket, were also
called 10 prove the customs and laws OF the
Senecas, AMI that the exercise OF the powers
claimed ny the plea had never been dIstur-
bed or disputed, from their earliest recol'
lection TO the present day.
The jury. after few minutes absence,
found verdict that all the allegations con-
tanned in the prisoner plea were true. A
motion was theu made in behalf of the prose-
culion, to arrest the Judgment, which was
entertained by the court; and the proceed
ings will be brought, as We understand, be-
fore the supreme court at the next term m
