In January as, Justice Burnett rendered an opinion
in murder case saying that in the charge OF mur Ter,

" The Judges found that the sentence quoted - not
good law so they quietly erased il With several other,
before and after it, and the clause s emitted III the Oh
fetal report. The discovery OF this change ied 70
another in the Arcby opinion. In that case Justice
Burnett in giving reasons why Archy should be sent
hack To Slavery, said:

This wonderful argument for sending man INTO
Slavery after having been severely crtclsed by the
Press has been stricken out from the oicia report.
Justice Burnett has been succeeded by Justice Joseph
q Baldwin and the tone Of the Court has changed

and precedentless decisions Of Murray, HeydcDieldt

The argument in the Limantone case has been
closed and in few weeks we shall have decision IN
it. Lawyers here, generally, say that the suit Is !.
without parallel in the history OF jurisprudence II
a fraud the perjury has never been equaled IN the
multitude and responsibility, and bodness, and SIN
gular address Of the periured witnesses; and if the
claim be an honest one, there is an une1amped cham
of evidence against IT, The claim confirmed by
the United States Land Commission, but will, in
all probability be rejected by the United States Dis
trict Court.

rendered the authorities material service. lie has the
Indians comprising the San Luis tribe completely

he feels much aSgrcyed, considering that his power
is Y and his reign al end, and he expressed his
determination to abdicae.
