1.-THE several pefjariess charged in Che

were TRULY described by your o*n
counsel as ''crimes as black and fodf as
justice ever raised her sword to strike ;
In the trial Of your case 'theijury llaye
exhibited care, patience and oihtelli
5gence never surpassed; indeed. it was
such as TO- extort an expression Vt ,ad
lniration from your, own counsel, and
their verdict met with tie unanimous
approval ofthe court. Y0ds eiidtavofeal
to impose yourself upon sthe .publiclas
Roger 1ichborne, and you epdeayorsd
to dsfraud the youthful heir IT. Of his just
rights, But great as was this wicked
ness. it seems comparatively small
when compared With the injurious a'c
cusation by which. you soil ght to tlblAst

vile accusations BY which it was, sought
to establish the charge. y Happily there
have not been wantings the 'sineansd of
