alterations by F. A. McLain, Esq, our new
District Attorney, who comes fully up to

criminal laws of the State and of the du-
ties of the jury. 1t was delivered in an
earnest and emphatic manner peculiar to
himself, and doubtless made a strong i'm
preston upon the grand inquest of the
county, as it did upon all who heard it,
