Mr. Traverse gave vent 10 his passion by clappIng
his hands, and other demonstrations Of Joy, upon

such conduct would have upon the public justice,
remarked, if a person had a right to applaud the
verdict Of Jury, they would have right to con
denim, and their decision, which ought to be Tree
from all restraint, might be induced by tear or favor

Iy lost. The Court put Mr.. Traverse under re
cognizancc Of S 200 to keep the peace, and be oil
good behaviour for one year"
