what passed in the Jury room. lie says he

q" him such gross act Of injustice. The
Grand Jury i'll my opinion were very
favorable 10 him, for they did not present
him upon my whole report to them. re-
ported him for u graver charge than that Of
the State VI. u. NJ. Wolfe. | reported him
for sending into The Country for Trial

County, and who had hccn committed, to
Jail, because hc could not give bail 10 keep
the peace. lie succeeded in turning this
man loose, on straw bail-and who in one
week, thereafter, violated said straw bond,
by creating Il general row and fight. Upon
this fact being reported to Trial Justice
Webster. What did he do2 Why, lie
sent for Wesley Washington, and his bonds
man, released the bontl<n,an and turned
Washington loose, Washington thus turned
loose, remained Il, large until our last Cour,
when he was presented by the Grand jury
and Judge Reed ordered bench warrcnt TO
be issued for his arrest, and instructed the
Clerk Of the Court to require a bond of six
hundred dollars with good and efficient
security, to keep the peace, or commit him
to Jail for twelve months. Washington
knowing that he could not give the security
has abscondcd, and our community is in
dcb;cd To the Grand Jury for IN act that
wSs clearly the duty Of the Trial Justice |
reported 10 the Grand Jury that Washing
ton had brought twelve or fifteen eases to a
certain Trial Justice in one day, and in not
single case WAS Il verdict Of guilty found.
OF course the County has the costs 10 pay.
| reported these facts to the Grand Jury
Who is running the under current mysclf or
Webster? | will leave il for the people of
this County 10 judge
Now concerning the case Of the State vs..
Il. NJ. Wolfe. was attending to my duty
rs Marshal Of the town, and had taken up

the town, belonging to this woman. She
attempted to prevent me from executing that

creating thereby quite 81 disturbance, Singing

thrca;ing to strike ne will, it if I did mol
turn thchcg loose. took hold of her aifi,il
told her if che did not shut up and bc1
herself tKart would take Eef 70 the Et:iioa
house, she finally quctcd down and paid
the fine FOR her hog running at large and ]
turned the hog loose and sh. drove il home
but followed mc down the street swearing
vengcncc and The law. Che applied TO
Webster for Il warrant for my arrest. lie i'm
n'c'llatcly grantcdit. lproved by gentlemen
HE truthfullnc.;s Of the case :ls above sta
ted. Webster vert on with the case, putting
his constable and mail-carricr on ii, who had
cxprt ~scsl himself publicly as believing that
! was guilty. lie got another man to carry
the mail 50 rs 10 keep this man Mcllct pre-
sent to 81, on The jury. l most positively
deny the charge that agreed ,opay any part
of the cost.
The whole truth is Webster has got his
foot in il and don, know how to get i, Sut.

by sworn evidence Of gentlemen. The mat
ter Is this man Webster has too many irons
in the fire Post master, trial justice, school
examiner, editor OF the colorsd paper, school
teacher &c. This is too much for such
man-no wonder he is weak and sicklv, so
much pap will Kill Him, if he is not relieved
Of some Of it.
