Advocate OF the ever infamous Cour,
Martial, and now Her Majes,y's Solicitor
General, was the principal sgen, Of Sir
John Colborne together with Mr.. Frolh-

These Individuals were aided BY eighty

thought proper TO preserve the Nance OF
the most conspicuous actors in this dis
graceful farce, so that when the "siar
