A Bad Apology.

City Treasurer Francis Vincent has
handed US the following from his notes.
viz:
On the 18th of February, over one
hundred and eighty years aSo, Cour,
of the Quarter Sessions was held AZ New
Castle. There were eleven Justices on
the bench, viz: John French, Joseph
Wood, Robert Gorden, Chas. Springer,
John Richardson, James Robinson,
James James, David Evans, Andrew Pc
tsrson, Ebsnezsr Empson and Hans
Hanson. At tho Court with tho numsr
,us body Of Judges sitting, Grace Whit
taker was prosecuted by Col. John
French (formsrly one Of the most i'm.
por tant men in Delaware) for slander.
He therefore handed into the Court the
following rather humble and degrading
apology:
"uENrLEMsN OF THE BENCH Il ac-
knowledge that this shame Of standing
here at this bar is justly fallen upon
ms, for my own wicked, base and lying
tenn per, in scandalously and maliciously
aspsrsing and defaming Col. John
French, member of your bench, by
insiuuating his receiving money from
me as q brihe, here acknowledge my
self q liar, and humbly beg his pardon,
and hope you will interceds with him
on my behalf and ! do also move that
this, nv confession, be entered upon
the records Of this Court, to BE- a terror
to others and a lasting warning to me"
