Our report of this trial is. we believe, one
of the fullest, if not the fullest, that has been
made, and for those who wish to preserve a
report it is, we think, decidedly the best. 1t
was made by lawyer, who has given the tes-
timony in full, but interspersed it with no
opinion of his own to prejudice the mind of
the reader-leaving every one to make up his
own mind in relation to the matter. The re-
port OF the pleas are as full as it is possible
to give them in report for paper. All the
points are given; but in speech like Mr..
Evans, which occupied eight hours in its de-
ported word for word would have filled our
