Atlack nobody. Ofieml uobody. Injure no person. If you respect your friends - If you wish to gall your enemies, keep the peace, and let not one single act of violence be committed. You are aware that the jury have foand a verdict ogainst me; but depend upon it that I will bring a writ of error, and wil] not acquiesce in the Inw, as laid down against me until T have the opinión of the Twelvo Judges in Ireland, and if necessary, of the House of Lorde.
