Judge Breckenridge, formerly his Secretary,

interesting trial was pending, and witness Was
under examination:
"This observation OF Mr.. breckenridge,

Tempt Of my Order: but that he would have de-
livered the papers had he not been urged 10 this

before me, and to show cause why he had at
tempted this improper interference with me, In
