have been preferred against Mr.. Boynton. The
extent of the matter is that he absconded from
here with another mans wife, intending to take re-
fuge in Europe with the frai one. But ne has been
arrested, and publishes dolorous card, - which
he says that "he suffers from private griefs, Of
which the world knows not" He deserted ms VIE
