acquiescence the par, Of the people of the Nor
lhern Neck in the preenstons OF Henry Lee 1
have thought il proper TO make these remarks In
order to remove that impression, and TO vindicate
the character OF the district from indelible dis
grace. They made under the influence of no
feelings personally unkind towards Henry Lee;
aud II they appear to be harsh, he must attribute
their harshness to the folly Of his pretended friends
or to his own indiscretion. Let him retire TO the
scenes OF domestic life, and his suietude will not
be disturbed. Let his friends cease to ebtrude him
upon the notice Of the public, and his sins will be
forgotten, or if remembered, they will be remem-
bered in the spirit Of charity and compassion.

To the Editors of the Richmond Enquirer
We told by Sir VIM. Jones, in his treatise
on the Law Of Bailments of singular custom pre-
vapg in Turkey, which might not be unworthy
Christian imitation. This custom, (says he) we
must confess, OF proposing cases both OF law and
conscience under FEIGNED names to the Su-
pfeme Judge, whose answers considered solemn
DEGREES, Is admirably calculated 10 prevent PARTIAL
~, and TO save the charges OF litigation"
How far any such procedure would have the
effect OF diminishing the charges Of litigation,
can better be decided by those versed in matters OF
that sort. Such seems, however, to have been
the OPINION of Jones; and certainly one was
better able to decide upon its applicability to Br-
tain, than this distinguished Philosopher and
Judge. Whether applicable here, is another mat
/ ter.
! The General Assembly, at their next session,
will doubtless make effort improve some
branches of the administration of justice. and what
ever shall tend to diminish the charges Of itiga-
ton is not unworthy attention.
