fair. s..
The last jury were elsyen for acuuitI !
and one for conviction. Tue 81 trial they
were six to six. First trial eight for con-
VlctiOn and four for acquitlal
So it appears that after a fair hearing
the selected tribunal Jury ofthe country
cannot be brought to decide that even Gen
Henderson, and Lopez, and others who &C
uVely participated in the expedition have
heen guilty OF any violation Of law. The
military expedition was in fact organized
after leaving the waters of the Uniten
States, aud therefore those engaged ia ii
were tor the Tina being beyond tbs cagniz
ance OF, and the protection Of our laws.
