The Court came in at the usual hour, and the trial proceeded.
Mr. Sohier stated that the defence had no further testimony to
offer.
The Attorney-General desired to call the attention of the counsel
for the defence more distinctly than he had done in his opening, to
the fact that there appeared to be still due, on the note of $2,432, five
hundred dollars, and upwards, to Mrs. Prescott and other parties
beside8 Dr. Parkmap, which had never been paid, and which would not
fall due, till January, 1851. If there were any proof that those parties
had been settled with he should desire it to be introduced, now, as he
should contend, that they still had an interest in the note and mort-
gage, according to their tenor.

they had aA. -dy stopped, the counsel for the prosecution proceeded
