lady of respectabiIity, member of Christ
Church, a teacher in the Sunday School of the
Christ Church stand ut the fair. She said she es-
! teemed Jennings and his wife for their good bcha-
vior and for the reason that they both taught col
| ored classes connected with the Sunday School Of
| Christ Church, and were themselves Communicates !
of that church. She had presented them with com
| pmentary tickets to the fair, and when they
| came she made them take seats and treated them /
! to iCe-cream and cake She spoke of their decor
GUS and submissive behavior, and seemed to think
it perfectly right that they should visit the fair.
The examination extremely interesting
one. Mr. Bright defended Jennings and District
Attorney Reynolds prosecuted. Among the wit
| nesses and spectators were numerous ladies' who
were at the fair, including Mrs. Mayor Monroe,
Rev. Dr. Leacock, Rev. Dr.. Mccoy, other gentle
men of piety and respectabiIity, and numerous
| dentists who supposed to know something
| about Jennings.
In the course of the examination strict inquiry
was had as to the teaching Of the colored classes
under Jennings and wife. 1t appeared that they
were free colored children and slaves mixed but
the dady defender Of Jennings declared that in
Rchool they received only oral instruction. The
slaves belonged to members of the Church, and
| came there in attendance as servants.
After some sharp passages between counsel and
a gentleman who was present as protector of Jen-
nings' lady friend, and arguments, the Mayor re-
served his Judgment till to-day; and, as it was
shown during the examination that Jennings was
native Of Boston, he will probably undergo another
examination, on the charge Of being in the State
in coHtraventlon to law.
