Mr.. JOHN RIGGs, who has been sub
jected7to some criticism, upon the sup
position that be was an officer, because
he did not arrest James Weir when call
ed to the house by him on the evening
of the murder of his father, to assist in
carrying the old man up stairs, desires
us to state that his resignation as con-
stable was rendered to the township
trustees and accepted, August 9th, and
that he has not been in the service of
the council as special policemen, since
the 3Oth of April last. AS an officer,
therefore, Mr.. Riggs is in no way re-
sponsible for the escape of James Weir.
We observe here, that Mr.. Riggs, when
on duty as an officer, has always been
prompt, vigilant and fearless.
