Of our Neighbour to o slight discrepancy in his

The Gardiner Cases.


The District Attorney Mr.. Fendall. moved yesterday
Gardiner, which had been called yesterday for trial
The motion accompanied by a statement, in writing,
of reasons which il was founded Ed .a
The indictment against John Charles Gardiner for alse
swearing was based on an affidavit made by him, and
presented TO the commissioners, in support OF the claim
OF his brother, George A. Gardiner. The statement OF
the District Attorney forth tina, the paper on which
the charge in the indictment was laid related TO silver
mine or mines in the republic of Mexico; that par
ticular precise description of the site of said mine
mines had been given until the recent trial OF George
A. Gardiner, though be had, four several previous
occasions, been called to give particular and precise
description thereof but had refused to do 50 that the
description given in evidence offered by him on said
trial such to satisfy the counsel for the govern
ment that it related 10 mines, in the State of San
Luis Potos, as both George A. Gardiner and John
Charles Gardiner had sworn, but 10 mines in The
State of Queretaro, which George A. Gardiner had
owned or worked, nor had any interest what
ever in; that the government, on being thus for the
fret time appzed of the precise and particular location
Of The alleged mine mlnes had despatched commits
sion OF scientific officers for the purpose OF visiting and
examining The same, and ascer.aining such facts as
would be proper evidence in relation to the location and
ownership thereof on the trial of the indictments against
George A. and John Charles Gardiner; that it ex.
peced that this commission would return with testimony
which would any doubt the subject, and lha,
il would return duIing The present term OF the court
that The trials of PERSONS in Jail would occupy the
court Tor the present. and probably until The return of the
commission and that justice required delay of the al

mission should have been received Exracs OF letters

OF The return Of the commissioners might be inferred,
