resulted in his aequittal. 1t appears that
the evidence adduced was insufficient to
sustain the charge, and Judge Marvin in
structed the jury, that being the case, to 6nd
the accused not guilty, which they according,
y did without leaving their seats.

With the hope of requited love, like flower

beneath its dropping petals; so the thrust
inflicted on another by some undeserving
object of love, will as quickly communicate
the essence of pains bitterweed through
