1 to grant it. It you Jo not wUh for
time, for counsel, or for witnesses,
the Speaker will proceed to put to
you such ? inter rogatories as may
seem proper.
To this the prisoner at the bar
replifcd, ift substance, although in
distinctly, that, in his peculiar situ
ation, he desired the asiisnoce of
counsel ; he desired THne Tin til- to*
morrow, and the opportunity of
summoning witnesses to testify to
life. ;
Whereupon the Servant at Arms
"was directed to take the piisorter
from the bar,
? i ? i
Some conversation took plact as. i
to the precise mode of proceeding,
which resulted in drawing up a re
solution that the Speaker be au
thorized to inform the accused that
*x "i *
the house comply with his re
quests, ? ? -.t """
Mr. Herrick mofred to amend
the motion, so as that the accused
be furnished previously wirh a copy
of the written interrogatories to 6c
put to himv _ , - - -
To. this Mr. Forsyth objected,
because it would be inconsistent,
with the o&jeet of this examination.
The object was to ascertain whether .
the accused admitted or denied the
offence imputed to him. If he de
nied it*#it would be for tl?e house
wa* for the house to urop^^on its
decision thereon to the magnitude
<of the offence,; \/
I Mr Herrick withdrew his. first
motion and moved that the accused
be furnished with a copy of the let
fef which was the ground of this
proceeding i to which was added,
_?n suggestion of Mr. Rich a copy
of the statement of Mr.WiTIiamxiicT
companying the letter* . ? ? V j ?
% Thus amended, - the resolution,
according these privileges to the
accused, waj*-#grec*i to.
The pftsoner having beeA ie*
Manded t6 the bar of the house? ^
Thfc Speaker addressed him
nearly i s follows.
" John Anderson 2 ( Jftn directed
to inforrfi you that, pursuant t<Ji'
$our request, you are at liberty to
