The court so held and directed an acquittal.

This is another instance, not unusual in trials in court, of the truth of the old rhyme, with which the readers of "Quentin Durward" are familiar; The page slew the boar, The peer had the gloire.
Mr.Webster always had a strong and kindly regard for my brother.
When Mr.Hoar visited Washington in 1836, Webster received him with great kindness, showed him about the Capitol, and took him to the Supreme Court, where he argued a case.

Mr.
Webster began by alluding very impressively to the great changes which had taken place in that Tribunal since he first appeared as counsel before them.

He said: "No one of the judges who were here then, remains.

It has been my duty to pass upon the question of the confirmation of every member of the Bench; and I may say that I treated your honors with entire impartiality, for I voted against every one of you." After the argument was over Mr.Webster gave Mr.Hoar a very interesting sketch of the character of each of the judges, and told him the reasons which caused him to vote against confirmation in each case.
The next time I saw Daniel Webster was on July 4, 1844.
