Straord made several speeches. in which he proposed
to defend himself against certain attacks which he
said had been made upon his character by Wm d. Kelly
Esq., the prosecuting attorney of this county, and by
Wm. Dean Barnes Esq, member of the Philadelphia
bar By way Of proving that the character of Mr. Kelly
better than his he read letter to the

also with having received bribe of seventy five
dollars with view to the settlement oi case
where the individual had been charged with receiving

charges Of gross official misconduct made to large
crowd of people and throwing suspicion upon the adm
nstrson OF Justice in the county OF Philadelphia were
reported TO the Attorney General, John H. Kane ESD
and to Mr.. Kelly the next morning, and those gentle
men, after consultation VITA of best citizens
to the conclusion that they OF such a charac

officers in the administration OF the criminal law of the
