case, arising underthe Post Office Eaw.
was tried at the late term Ut the Circ0it Canrt,
at Windsor. before Judge Thompson. I. Ed
ward E. Phelps was arraigned an an indict-
snent for opening mailed letter, directed to
Mary A. Phelps. Il was shown 10 .snpport
of the prosecution, that the letter arrived at
Windsor Post Office IN the Isl ofNOyember.
1882, and was delivered to r. n. Stone, 10 he
carried to Miss Phelps. Stone left the letter
with the wife of Rufus Emerson. and from
her hands il was received by the detenGant.-
II appeared that the defendant retired, and in
| a short time returned " ith the letter having
seal upon'it. and copy which he exhibited
| and read. The original was. then deposited
in the desk Of Mr.. Emerson, where il remain
| ed until it was given up to one Of the Attor-
neys Of Mr.. Clarke. The Postmaster swore
that bis instructions from Miss Phelps werc
explicit, to deliver her letters to Stone, and
no one else. and particularly not 10 her broth
ers. The Clerk swofe that on the day the
letter arrived. the respondent called for his
sisters letter. but he withheld the letter and
| subsequently, delivered it to Stone. The cour-
sci for the respondent placed the defence ON
the single ground that delivery Of the letter
to an agent was, in operation oflaw, the same
as delivery TO the party herself, and that
the case was therefore not within the Post
Office law. On this point, Judge Thompson
expressly charged the Jury. that the Act Of
Congress extended to protect the letter after
| It was taken from the office by an agent, and
until it reached the hand Of the person to
whom it was directed. The Jury came into
Court several times and begged TO be dis
charged, and on the neat morning the Fore
man informed the Court that there was no
probability Of their agreement. The Court
refused 10 discharge them. The Foreman
said il the Jury agreed it would probably be-
under the direction ofihe Court. Tire Judge
expressed his williDgnesstO take the RESPONSE

ing been together thirteen hours, returned a
verdict for the Defendant.
