BEaNErT rs. GRAHAM,-In the hearing before
Judge DAILY some days since, the result OF which
was the bailing of Mr. Grahnmin $500, after Mr..
Clarke had finished his argument, Mr. John Ora
ham rose and begged the Court permission to add
few words in his own behalf. Mr.. q says the
report then gave brief narrative of the events
preceding and attending the cowhiding of James
Gordon Bennett. He then detailed the circum-
stances attending his arrest, together with the
treatment he had undergone by Justice Mountfort
aud the various devices OF the prosecution to have
this matter deferred until such day when they
knew Bennett would make his escape.
AZ know" continued Mr.. Graham, " what their
object is in proceeding they have done; it is
for the purpose of allowing the impression to re-
main on the public mind that Bennett was accom-
panied by his wife when he received his welme-
rited punishment. This has been once stated in
the Herald, and in the publication OF these pro-
ceedings it will doubtless be repeated, but give
notice to the Reporter of that infamous sheet that
