CASE OF THE PEA PATCH ISLAND.

We learn from the Philadelphia American that
the argument in this interesting and important case
was brought to close last Friday afternoon by Mr..
CLAYTON, one of the counsel for the State of Della
ware. We copy from the American as follows
The argument Of this gentleman which listened to
by crowded auditory, clear concise and logical and
was illustrated by large Of curious historical nfor
nation The legal points he made-some Of which were
and strking-were enforced with all the power Of his
vigorous mind and his whole speech of such character
as to leave an evidently favorable impression all who
heard it.
"When Mr.. CLAYTON had concluded Mr. SERGEANT, in
few appropriate remarks, expressed the great satisfaction nc
had enjoyed in listening counsel on both Sides and pacu-
ary the amcabe and in which the
had been conducted He said that he had derived the greatest
assistance from their arguments aud researches assistance
of which he that he would feel the value now that
he about to be left to his judgment The only thing
in the whole matter which a of unmxed salts
faction to him that in deciding party he should be
under the necessity ofdecdng against the other though which
that other would be not for him yet to say The ree
has been steadily and aborousy work for so
many days ogcher that there seemed something of sadness
in its separation.

pressed Of Mr.. sEReEASTs judicial Administrations His
great Difference towards COUNSEL his patience listening his
undivided attention every thing which sad have been
the subject of high admiration, particularly from the bar and
