He can Isay, tmoreuver, thartif the case had been left to a Jury. a verdict would have been a wtarded to Mr. Shuhma withesat leaving their seats. sYour correspondents "Eye !~e seed Friends of Truth," say, teem ow whoe expected to receive mode @ JMr. :Shuhtz in the event of his kce. - 'a huse hopes were bias~erd when they heard t the testmonuy ; that on behalf of the defent ,dants being extremely well arranged, and' conclusively showing the injustice of Mr. aShulta's claim."
