Comments Of Joseph N. Cardinal.
Gentlemen,
The imputstion cast upon me by Mr..
John M'Donald, must, for the reasons set
forth by my fellow-prisoners, (reasogs toe
obvious 10 dwell upon,) be set aside.
would merely ask the Court if il is not
possible, nay, highly probable, that, had
the Court questioned him as 10 his certain
~ with regard TO all the material assertions
made by him against Us, he would have
declared himself TO be equally doubtful, as
ia reference To his statement respecting
Ducharme! If excitement and confusion
operated on his mind, TO such an extent as
TO induce him 10 attest upon oath, the
papor and precise words OF converse
ton which he alleged he had held at Cha
teauguay with that individual, at time
when the latter was in this city, is it not
To be presumed that all his statements,
with regard To what occurred on the first
night Of his imprisonment, when his ex-
element and confusion might be supposed
to have been at the highest pitch, are
wholly unworthy of credencel But this,
though a strong argument against his tes-
timony, dwindles into weakness, when
compared with the startling fact that he
has been directly contradicted by positive
and Onimpeachable evidence, in FIVE mate
rial points. The evidence Of John Lewis
Grant, upon the ground assigned by Du-
chsme, is equally incredible, at least with
regard to any Thing which he pretended to
have witnessed on the night Of the 4th
November last. The evidence given by
De Lorimier does not tend to establish the
charges, inasmuch as no overt act laid in
the charges, nor any other, has been prov
ed by him. Tenihatie has named me, but
merely to state that he saw me prisoner
IN the house Of an Indian, at SAINT St.
Louis. This is the only admissible, the
only legal testimony adduced against me,
ioasmuch as the evidence given by Pierre
Reed, (fls d'Antone,) by Pierre Reed,
Oils de Joseph,) and by Bruyere, is of
that nature which, by some legal writers,
has been considered totally inadmissible,
aud cannot, at least, come under the de-
slgnatlon of proreGbie evidence, by which
alone an accusation of this nature can be
supported.

which is now imputed TO me, could be con-

Moreover, whatever may be the charac-

Comments Of Joseph L'EeIYer.

Five witnesses have mentioned my name
in the course of the trial. M'Donald's
evidence has already been sufficiently com
nented upon. Teronhiabere stated, in the
first instance, that he saw me at Sault St.
Louis, on the 4lh of November last but,
on recoIecting himself, said positively that
he did not see me. There remains, then,
nougEt against me, save the testimony OF
the two Reeds and Bruyere. This test-
mony is not Of that unimpeachable nature
which the law demands in support Of a
charge of high treason moreover, the
traitorous intent has not been proved
against me.

Comments of .Antoine Cole.

The evidence which Affects me is SO
contradictory and imperfect, that trust
the Court will not hesitate TO declare il
wholly insufficient to support the accusa-
ton preferred against me. The first wit
ness, Pierre Reed, (fls d'Antone,) stated
distinctly that was at Saalt St. Louis, on
the 4th November whereas Pierre Reed
(6s de Joseph,) proves that | was not
there. The Reeds both concur in affirm
ing that, wherever they pretend to have
seen me, was not armed. On the other
hand, Teronhahere, the only witness who
states that was at the Sault, said was
armed with gun. If the evidence of the
Reeds be taken, that Of Teronhiahere
must, necessarily be rejected in that case,
the assertion Of my having been in the
band, will be supported only by two wit
nesses, against whose testimony the strong
est objections have been urged by some of
my fellow-prisoners who have preceded
me, tending to shew that such evidence
can only be admitted in support of other
testimony, and can never be considered,
when alone, as sufficient to convict. If,
on the other hand, the evidence Of Teron-
hiahere be taken, and that of the Reeds
rejected, there will remain but one witness
against me. In either case, am entitled
to, and confidently pray for, an acquiltal.

Comments Of Edouard Therein.

UcitietUcH.
Mr.. MsDonald has alleged that was at
Chateaugay bridge, under arms. The
credibility of this witness has been utterly
destroyed. Pierre Reed and Bruyere are
the only other individuals who state that
they saw me, and they merely assert that
| was at the bridge, without connecting
me with any armed band that might have
been there nor does either OF them state
that was armed. Even supposing their
evidence to be unimpeachable, there exists
not of recordsufficient proof to convict me
of the crime laid against me. |, therefore,
confidently claim from you, gentlemen of
the court, that acquittal Which by law |
am entitled TO.

After the reply, the Judge Advocate in
Inmates TO the prisoners, that the sentence
will not be communicated to them, until
sanctioned by his ExceIlency the Com
msnder of the Forces and the Court is
cleared TO deliberate upon the verdict.
Here terminates the trial Of the twelve
prisoners Of Chateaugay and Sault ST.
Louis.

Comments of Louis Lesiege, otherwise
called Lesage dit Laeiolette.
Gentlemen,
My name has been mentioned by only
one out OF the number of witnesses pro-
duced by The Crown, namely, by MIR.
M'Donald ; there is, therefore, no legal
evidence before you, TO support the charges
exhibited against me, and await at your
hands that acquittal which, in law, am
entitled to, and nov humbly demand.
The address Of the prisoners having been
heard, the court was cleared; and, after
about two hours, the Judge Advocate, Mr..
Day, read his reply, partly prepared on the
preceding day.
