G4aston, Esqs. TheiI Lte had made out a very weak cape, if, indeed, any case at all, when it was proposed to place upon the stand John Lilley, who, it will be remembered, had been previodsly convicted of burglary and codsignod to the penitentiary. The defence objected, upon the ground that Lilley was a convicted felon and tliriihn'o incompetent to testify: The judge sustaining this objection, the solicitor produced a document purporting to be a pardon for John liilliv from Goveriior Chamberlaih. The pardon was graiitod "on coitdi Lion that, before dsllvoring this liar don to the said Johri Lilley, thb presidiitg judge shall titider his hand aid seal, eM'ify to the gov lrnor that. the said John Iilley has testi (ed fully and ill good faith ill the case '1 the State vs. B. G. Xo gol:" T' this doctiment Counsel for the defendant objected on the ground that it was really no pardon at all. and after i rther aiscission by the attorneys on' each side, Judge Nort hrop decided that the docmieint Was itldeed no pardon at all, and that, therefore Lilloy was incompeteut as a witness. A Chester correspondent, of the Kaios and Covrier says : "Thie most unfavorable comm1entr were freely made on t,his document; and the pro(ceeling of bringing theso Convicts [.Iilloy and Mikell] to tes tify is considered by every one ats allk prsecution. The defendant ha:s now the puliic opinion onl his side entirely." After argument upon bot1h sides the ('110 was givtlli to the jm-iy, and they returned into court about. 12 o'clock on the night of the 25t!h inst., With ia verdict of "'not guilty."

An application for his lrlldoin was made to the governor iy Solicitor A. M. Mackey and his assistant, C. S. Brice. Esq., on the grounds that. Lilley was in possess ion of facts sufficient to establish the guilt of Yocom in connection with the frauds a1lleged to have been committed in Chester, 'and that lie was a necessary witness. These~.l gen tleen further stated that Lilley's testimony 'would be corroborated by3 thlat Of oIther per sons5, and1( that hlis paridon wvas on to the pr1oseen'tion. Theyj also sug gesta that ' "the( pariidon asked for', if nlrlted, he forwarded to tihem, to be~ dliv.leed to t he said Jhn Lilley upon1)l lhe eixpress' cond itionl thait h1( te'.'tify ill the case( inl goodl faith. piresidling in) tihl case (of tile Stalto vs3. lB.

The governoril further wrote a letter to Judg'e Nothrop in) wichl h. gave expre'ssion to tile embliarrassmlenlt wich thle miatt er had caused himl, anid to his earneiest desire to do full juslti('( iu the p)re'mises.
