done. in Jail few days ago We did think
that man sworn to administer the law would
have been satisfied permit it to take its course
after he had prisoner in JAN, without going there
to persecute him, and literally to take the shirt off
his back. It's pity the ailors lame leg prevent

the interests of our County. We sincerely hope
their antieipations may be realized.
