" Ho learned from tho note that they were unabis to agree, and that the disagroement was founded on their foability to decide upon the weight of tha testi- mony and tue credibility of tho witnosses, and it anpeared to Il Honor audevory person con- vorsant with the case that it was impossible for Inm to help them by any snggestions. Not oven in his oharge could ho find a means of helping them on that point. The weight of the testimony rested with tho jury. It was for them to may what witnessos thoy eould belisve and what witnosses thoy could not. The Court had no right to interfore, Ile wanaglad to be assured that the aisagreoment did not arlse from any want of attention oo his part, and God knew thore wore somo polnts on which ho gould do nothing. & THENE WAS ONE POINT to which his attontion bad boen called, and he would lika to learn from thom oxplicitly tual the application to take further testimony had pot in any way clouded thoir vision or occupied tholr thonghta directly or indirectly.

Thore biad beon #aid & good many things sbout thin cliarch by porsons who wero ignorant of its warkings. Itis own judgment, unwarpod by passion, the fruit of years' acqnsiatanco with it, was, that by tho blessiog of God there had been brought into co-operalive labor in this church a body of paoplo such as Las rarely been paral- leled, not in wisdom, but remarkable for Individ- ualism.
