principal if not the only business they had
to do, was to try SANDER Case against
the Reverend Mr.. Cotton Of Fayetteville
who We understand is New.light Pres.
byterlan. We have not perused any OF
the documents, but il seems that Mr.. c.
wrote pamphlet, in which he arraigns
the principles and practices of the old side
Presbyterlans, though nominally he is still
one Of them. He alleges that their prin.
ciples lead to tyranny and their practices

found guilty-no, he was not tried on the
plea Of Not Gully, for the charge against

question was put in tins way" charges
sustained or not sustained according to
the voters opinion. The vote was put,

quite, unanimously. Afterwards he made
some written Acknowledgements subject to
