perience Of all A large number Of wrecks have
already been heard Of as the result Of the gales in the
months Of October and November, and We fear there
are others yet to be reported In our marine columns

months. bat in twenty-five years I have never expert
enced auything that would begin to compare with the

diton Of submission 10 the federal government
Judge Sinclair exhortc1 the .jur, to give full IN
vc>tigaton to the acts upon which the President
proclamation of pardon was grounded. lie held
that of this pardon the court could not take cog
nzance on the ground that il had not been brought
'judeiaily before the court, by plea, motion, or
Otherwise
"A pardon" said Judge Sinclair, us the pri-
vatr. though official, net of the Executive Mags-
trate delivered to the individual for whose benefit
it is intended, and Communicated TO the c,uit.---
A private deed, not communicated to n judge,
whatever may be it's character. whether pardon
or release, is totally unknown aud can not be acted
on lie therefore directed the jury to inquire in
the previous acts of the Mormons il the Pre-
sident had never granted n pardon.

laws of the United States. Judge Sinclair direct.
cd the attention of jury To other offences, such rs
gambling and violation Of the Indian ln,crcour>c
