had witnossed hut one fight, and that was
with a colored man from the English Colo
ny of Sierra Leone, who had abused tiio
Amcrie.an Coloiij ami its goveniment. No
instance of capital crime hiul occurred. Ho
knew hut two [s*rsons addicted to inleinper-
ance, and witli them the habit is not carried
so fiir as to be seriously injurious to their
families. The ctHirts are well attended.
When the laws of the Colonly are silent,
recoursi' is had to those of the United Stalefl,
so Ihst no crime can, through a defect of
this kind, lie coniniitted with imjiunity.

of the Colony are adopting the European
