redscing the duty on Tobacco one half-ruw from
S.. Is. Cd, and manufactured from Us to IS Sd.
Also of increasing the duty Id lb on raw Cotton,

had been preferred against them Thus all speculation
with rcnar d the Of the trials is ut end The
traversers have, by their plea tacitly admitted that

We suspect, from the way IN which the trial has
gone off, that the whole Is the result OF compromise

Attorney General proceeding-he had to apply for
liberty to withdraw the plea ofNor GUILTY as to the
first fourteen counts of the indictment
The Attorney General said, on the part of the
Crown, he had objection to the granting he ap-

the Court and the country upon being spared the
agitation, labor and anxiety that the TRIALS would
have Produced. and he relied upon the Court for the
future maintenance fthe peace Of the country.
Extract from private icter:-''lt is supposed that

for Try own part, am perfectly convinced that the
agitation is at end"

moment to say that OConnclI ard the other ira
vcrsors have pleaded guilty To the first fourteen
