After the indictments were handed to the Court
the Grand Jury were discharged until Tomorrow
week.-Henry May, Esq, then moved the Court
to quash two presentments made by the Grand
Jury, against Mr.. Whitney, on the I'd inst. He
said that upon examination he had considered them
insufficient to support Judgment, and had there
fore, drawn up others, which the jury had acted
upon. He also moved to guash the t ird count, in
| presentment, filed on tine 29th of December,
which count erroneous. 1t charged Mr.. Whit
ney with refusing to call Capt Mitchell, upon the
trial of Mattson, for rioting at the Exchange Of
fee, when the that of Paul Placide; it
MIR. Pitts said they had no objection to make
to the motion-thev did not intend to de-
sire to embarrass the State in the prose-
cution of these cases. All they desired
was, that an early day night be fixed for the trial.
He would also say that the accused, awaiting him
self of his privileges under the Code, would elect
to traverse the indictments before the Court
Mr.. May said, the why the first present
ments were insufficient, was owing to the fact that
at that time the Grand Jury had no legal adviser.
In regard to tie trial of the cases, he would con-
suit the ends of justice first, and the convenience
of the traverser next. On Saturday be would be
able to say to the counsel upon what day he would
be willing to take the up; he wanted neces-
sary witness who resided out of the city, and of
whom it was difficult to ascertain exactly the where
abouts. The Court ordered the presentments to be
quashed, and adjourned the court until Saturday
morning at ii O'Clock.
