Head Matter:
The State against Jonathan Dayton.
TEIIS was an indictment, for carrying the letter, mentioned in the case against Thomas Gibbons, found also in the Oyer and Terminer in Essex; and removed to this court by certiorari. The return was the same as in that case, and after judgment was pronounced, Mr. Chetwood prayed leave to take the indictment off the files of the court, and restore it to the Oyer and Terminer, that a proper return might be made to the writ, or such other course taken, as the Attorney General might think proper.

Opinion:
The court granted leave, and the indictment was restored to the Oyer and Terminer, but it is understood, that it has been no further prosecuted.
