THE CASE OF HESTER VAUGHAN-UNJUsT
CRITICISMS AT a meeting held in Cooper Iu-

OF the newspaper reporters took occasion to
grossly libel and upjustiy criticize the conduct
of q prominent member OF the Philadelphia
bar John Goforth, Esq. AS the article, which
reflects upon his we'll earned reputation as a
forth seeks 10 justify his conduct in the man
agement of Hester Vsughan's case, ami to
refute The ISLANDERS which have thus been scat
tered broadcast, through the pu olicatton of APP
proving letters from the several Judges OF our
city. Judges Allison, Peirce, Brewster, and
Ludlow have eacn forwarded To him communi.
cations TO the effect that he did every thing
woman. They approve his action, and declare
that he omitted nothing which could avail his
client Want of space prevents us from giving
these letters in full.
Hon. William b. Mann also sends letter con.
curing in sentiment with those OF The several
Judges. In conclusion he says:-
"i SIN entirely familiar with the conduct of
the case, and simple justice TO you requires me
TO say that You conducted The defense with
ingenuity and ability, and did all for her case
which any upright and honest lawyer could.

Iained in q labnrous end honorable profession
has been furnished by those who are pro.

with which YOU clunR TO your client, are In

and protect the lives and property of the peo
pie. The action of Congress prohibiting the
organization of the militia in this State strip
me of all power to sustain them in the dis
charge of their duties, and am compelled t,
appeal to you to take charge of their places O
these parishes, and use your forces to that end
If you respond favorably to my request, will

Very respectfully,
