When the case was resumed, the Defendant announced that his evidence was closed.

Notwithstanding the utterly unsatisfactory case made by the Defendant in support of his pleas, the Counsel for the prosecution determined on having, if possible, an expression of opinion from the Jury, not merely on the bare question "Guilty or not Guilty," but on the general aspect of the whole case, and went into evidence to disprove the pleas on which rested entirely on the Defendant. The evidence was necessary,

but it was perhaps not altogether superfluous, as it clearly established the bona fides of the previous examinations into the scandalous case, and demonstrated fully that the Stone Government had paid as much attention to the case of Mr. Tarrant—as they could have done to any involving the Governor himself. I say the case of Mr. Tarrant, meaning the question arising out of his suspension from Office, which appears to have been the causa teterrima belli in this instance.
