Mr.. BARKER'S CASE

On Saturday. after the usual business OF
1 the Court of Sessions had terminated, MT
Barker's case was brought up for hnal ad-
J Indication. Mr.. Barker addressed the
court. and made several legal objections TO
their proceedings, and commended, mat II
be was sentenced, he could mol carry tuP
to the supreme court, the court OF errors'
or the supreme court OF the United ota'es,
before either Of which he was Determined
! to 90. ere he would be deprived ,ot bis
rights as a citizen, and contrary to the pro,
visions of the constitution, He contended
likewise, that the jury had convicted HIM
upon insufficient testimony; and further, 1t
was understood that bargain or compro-
| mise baG taken place among them, that If
| nine agreed to verdict, tae other three
would submit. The court bad no legal
proof that this understanding existed, and
therefore overruIed the objection. He
then went on to prove that the new con-
stitutlon abrogated The duelling act, mas
much as the oath had been repealed.
This was admitted by the court; but re.
peaIing the oath did not make the law null
and void. After arguments in exteDso up
ON the manner of the trial. and the uncon-
stitutionality OF the law, the court was
clearly of opinion that the law was constl-
tutiona!; that Mr.. Barker had not made
out his case; and they proceeded to pass
sentence under the law for sending chal-
lenge, which was, that he be incapable OF
holding any Office, sc. .adOocafe.
A military officer being at sea, in
dreadful storm, his lady, who was sitting
in the cabin near him, aud filled with a.
larm for the safety of the vessel, was SO
surprised at his composure and serenity.
that she cried out, "My dear. are you not
afraid? How is it possible you can be so
calm in such storm ?" He arose from
chair lashed to the deck, and supporting
himself by pillar of bed place, he drew
his sword, and pointing it to the breast OF
his wife, he exclaimed, care you no. a
