The trial Of the Rev. William Hogan charged
by Mary Barry with being the father of her infant
child, closed Saturday afternoon, having occupied
the Mayors Court during entire week. He
was pronounced by the jury not guilty. and the
prosecutix was ordered to pay the costs.

tribunals of his country have twice declared them
selves perfectly convinced.--Phu. paper.
