IMPORTANT TRIAL.
A Report of the following trial has been issued in a pamphlet form, containing the testimony adduced- which, as the material facts are interwoven with Judge Pettit's charge, now inserted, we deem it unnecessary to publish, referring those who wish to see more of the details of the case to the pamphlet itself. This trial excited a good deal of interest, and continued about twenty-one days.
In the District Court for the city and county of Phil- adelphia, before Thomas M. Pettit, Judge, and a spe- cial jury, to wit : George Adolph, James H. Cresson, Jeremiah Boone, Sansom Perot, Leopold N. Wykoff, William Kinsey, John Newman, Nathaniel Brannin, An- drew Fenton, Jacob Hummell, James D. Pratt, and Paul Jones.
