Lieut. Renshaw's Trial. At the request of a number of friends, the publishers had undertaken to furnish the public with the following correct detail of the trial of Strong vs.Renshaw.It has excited considerable interest.The novelty of the case is acknowledged by professional men, and the causes which led to it are marked with such atrocious perfidy, as to be unequalled, perhaps, in the history of party. The speeches of the learned counsel will be read and .admired, while true taste and science adorn the civilized world.
In the unwarrantable interference of Mr. Strong, which led to the prosecution of Lieutenant Renshaw, nothing can be seen which marks the dignified character of the man. How should it be otherwise : Mr. Strong is not very honourably distinguished in the walks of public or private life. -UT no act has so strongly marked its features as the present One. He commences a formal attack upon a deserving young officer, considering nothing but how he might best expose him and his services to the detestation of his companions in arms, and the national character of his government to contempt. View his conduct in the most favourable 'light, and it will be acknowledged that he has descended to take a share not only in the narrow views and interests of particular partizans, but in the fatal malignity of their passions. This error is admitted even by his own sect as a capital violation of the most obvious rules of policy and prudence. He has evinced in his conduce a fawning treachery; against which no prudence can guard, no courage can defend. THE PUBLISHERS.
