Penimosity against Mitchell, or from a pure desire that the administration of qualice should be beyond reproach, determines to act in his indurdual capacity of a Grand Juror (which sums strange, but may be according to law, and prosecute Mitchell. Mitchell was therefore tied at Ansteyps cistance, recquitted, wit Ching Austly attributes to the partial cumming up of the Justice . In return & in defence of his character. 7. Mitchell internates his intention of prosecuting Austy for defamation. The Governor, who deptores these unscomly goings on;

My empiression is that it present

nothing

or ought to be done bythen I state : Indchett's Retion, whi is pending, may terminate unfacorally for M. Ausley - In the brown's Attorney General. I lo Concreted of defamation is a serious affair - and

of intemperatury the couples with his recent reckless cheese again

would together mark him as an Chief Justice, pason for so distinguished an office

bume a

unfit that of

Attorney Genual.. If, on the the hand, Austry is ast Convicted of defamation, and

if he apologizes for his conduct Cowans the Chief Justice it act the

question as to the interference which the J. of State should excriese one Afficer, sof... to querel and distect the harmony fo Community. But it appears to me theat the mornent for that interference has not sviceed. & may not arrive. Austry's conviction of the the pending may queally help to settle the becsine ?!
