OF Our readers doubtless recollect the
murder of Maria Bckford at Boston, short
time since, and the arrest of Albert j. Tir.
rell, who had fled TO New Orleans, as hei
murderer. Trrell has been tried at Boston,
and acquitted. The ground Of acquittal
was, and properly, that it was not clearly
and indisputably proved that he did commit
the murder. Not a shadow of doub, rests
upon the minds of any acquainted with the
circumstance, but thathe did commit the mur
der, yet there were no eye witnesses, and
the criminal consequently escapes all pun
isimcnt. And so it must be, Us long
