There are two indictments against the De.
fenlant, growing out Of the same transac'
ton. Tha first is charge of Incest, and
the second, Rape. In the early part Of the
term, motion was made by the prisoners
counsel, Messrs. Brown g. Strong, tc.charge
the vsnus and thereby have the trial take
place in some other county. They assign
ed as reasons that in soma portions of the
county, public indignation was excited
against the D ,fpDdant, and further that the
newspapers of the county, had written arti.
cles calculated to prejudice the public minc
against him. The Court overruled the mo
ton. Another motion was afterwards mH6e
by Defendants counsel, TO continue the
cuse. MIR. Brown stated that he though
perhaps there was a witness in the State o
New York or cometohcre el6e, who nigh
possibly testify something that wonld be o
advantage to the Plaintiff; and upon ibi
statement thr case was COT tinued.
It would be- gross injustice to force pris'

grounds. We d. not offer an opiuon Us t,
