To ne Editor Of The Tribune:


| notice in the Plebean Of the 25th inst. under
The head of CITY Intelligence a paragraph con-
cerning the case of samuel Adams" AS the
paragraph alluded TO contains mlsstateinenis caIcu
lated to create a prejudice against Adams and re-
decting upon the gentlemen engaged as his counsel
wish 10 irespass on your columns with a brief
statement of facts.


Ist Ii Is not true that "lhe Counsel for the de-
fence so managed by long c,ossexamination of
witnesses and arguments on points OF law lasl TO
brng the case to point where it was impossible
TO finish" that Is, 10 the end of the term On the
contrary they raised the man question Of jurlsdc-
ton. which would have Immediately terminated
the case the first day of the trial, but the prose-
cutlon objected and The Court refused TO hear the
argument until the testimony Tor the people was
closed. As 10 the cross-eXamInaon of witnesses,
the counsel for Tie defence consumed no more time
than the complicated nature OF the transactions,
necessary TO be investigated, and the difficulty of
arriving al the trras required.


ID The case does not "now stand where it first
was unless toRc po@gui implies second trial
on the same indictment. There Is, however, ano-
lher Indictment pending.


Sd. The moral guilt OF Adams was not "clear-
Is proved, though some things not very credliaSe
10 the prosecuting parties tccre. No testimony foI
The defence was adduced. and lis introduction was
pFecluded by the decision OF The Court, audi ate
ram parton.


ih. The paragraph in question states that &c had
The case gone 10 The JURY, he would have been
quilted only on the ground of want of jurisdiction,
aad when that question comes before the Supreme
Court they VIII decide that the venue was properly
aid and when the case IS called up for final adJu-
dlcatloD, q conviction ls sure 10 follow" Truly
the sagacly OF some people is extraordinary,
though in this instance It's brilliancy s somewhat
clouded By slight degree OF pariality. Perhaps
this disinterssted proqhet inform what Will be
the price of pork in May, or OF flour in August =
Such information might be valuable 70 large houses
who wish 10 go into heavy operation.


9Th. We are informed that IS D. Wesson, one
OF the witnesses for the prosecution, was subjected
20 one OF the most rigid cross-eIaminarons ever
witnessed IN Court of Justice, but he passed the
ordeal with credit 10 himself and his numerous
fri=nGs" II Is TO be regretted for Dir. Wesson's
sake, If not for thai of his g numerous frends,''
that thisl plastrmg should be deemed necessary,
loT, probably, no martyr ever Tejolced more when
his ordeal teds passed, or would tcGtk orer the
ooo!s again with greater reluctance than this same
immaculate D. WesSon


As your paper has contained the most correct re-
port OF the Adams tria which has appeared, trust
you will insert this correction of grossly errone-
GUS comment upon thai trial. JUSTICE
