of the first OF these indictments addressed the Conrt
on .he subject setting for Mr. Eckfords readiness
and great desire to have the trial take place forth
with as well a. the Importance il was to him and
Others that the whole matter should he investisa
ted disposed of and begged the Court TO make
| some arrangement for this purpose, since Mr.. E.
(and he presumed the othersO would cheerfuliy
waive all form, and raise no questions of law, but
was most desrous to place his defence solely the
facts and merits in the Nh. Price added that
Mr. Rathbone was equally anxious for a tr al on
similar grounds But the Court said the great
number of prisoners confined in brIdewell (about
2jO) most imperiously demanded, at this season ct
the year, the first attention Of the court and the
public health, AS well "a the personal rights and
situation of these prisoners, would not permit the
court to do any other business this term than to
clear the brdewe as far as the remaining short
