days to got 1t through Court. At
the expiration of which the defend
ant was acquitted. The peculiar
part OF the business was that Harry

against, and had him indicted before
the last Grand Jury, wheeled round
and said he swore falsely on the for
mer occasion, and was induced to do

from Governor Adams and w. d.
Campbell. He was arrested for
perjury, waived examination, and
was held in 81, 500 bonds to appear
before the next Grand Jury.

sire to prejudice his casc.-White
