MIR. HINER, representing Bath and High
land, declared that Judge Mclaughlin was
tue undoubted choice OF his people. Though
he BAD been teyery court over; which Judge
Mclaughlin had presided in his county, and
had seen him on the bench in other couE-.
ties, he never had shadow of reason to
suspect that on any such occasion Judge
Mclaughlin had drop OF liquor in him..
If,fJudge McLaughlin'sz conduct on the
bench was attributable to whiskey, why,
then ESQ ceptionable was It'll, it would
be highly to the advantage Of his detractors
to use. some OF the very same article.
