court with verdict OF "not guilty." after an abb

fessed the theft, and has only escaped through an
ingenious construction of the law by his able
counsel number Of his boon companions, de-
taulters in heart If not in fact, commenced a
bosterous expression of their Joy in the Court
House on the delivery OF the verdict, and re-
ceived a severe reprimand from the Bench.

advantages of peace, and the utter absurdity Of
attempting to resist the American army, for that
