The argument on the Demurrer occupied the whole of the 10th, 12th, and 15th days of February last.
Questions of the gravest nature were raised on behalf of the Attorney General and for the Defendant questions far too grave to be raised or properly disposed of In this small Colony, this little Ulti Thule, where there are neither the books nor the authorities proper for the decision of such ginestions.
