and enclosed a draft. The draft the governor refused to give
up, and also refused to state what disposition he intended
to make of it. The deputy governor had other moneys of his,
and he requested that those, as well as the draft, should be
restored to him.

The Attorney-General, in an undertone, having addressed some
observations to the bench.

The Lord Chief Baron said that the prisoner, having been
convicted of felony, his property was at the disposal of the
authorities, and that any representation he had to make on the
subject should be made to the government.

Halpin said he wished that the money might be transferred to

one single witness against me. The jury had their lesson
before they came to the box.

THE CHIEF BARON--It is impossible for me to allow you to
proceed with this line of observation.

HALPIN--I wish to simply say that the jury exhibited an
extreme anxiety to find a verdict against me before I had
even said
