Tliev could not charse him as hanntr II- eealiy obtained tne money by the colour of ht oflicei nor was , he indicted tire ply Tor misbehaviour in office; but for a ruuJ, ft trespass tnat ne had obtained the money by furce of arms, is- it might be said w-legalparlance by y!egal false, trauilQlent.anU tieccitful means which amounted to the fraud charted in the indictments." Whether that fraud had, been committed by Tobias Watkins as a private indiyidua!, or by the same person a rourui Auuitor, was immate rial; he was. cquilly, liable to the. Jaw forhis . Dflence; and I.e JMr,' Swann) coictived that it,; was f hia. -right and 1 bis d ut y-Vis paramount dofv without the. tslighest vinuictiTe feeling towards the accused, to call for the iu- Bictioit upon the prisoner should he be convicted, unon trial, of the nnnfi.hmi.nl justi av'arded by, the law to .that of , fence. TVUh respect ' M the objection which had been nrgud that the fraud na jiih puiiisuuuie were, uecause 11 was completed, in JNew i Yorki; he observed, inaiii.an iniiicimeoinau seen presented and found in New-York, It might, bv a parity ol rcasoningbeeontended that the ptTence .Vaf notjiiinishable liet, because, some part ofthe offence ch.ir , ged had been committed in the Diitricf of .Columbia; so that the case must be made to resemble Mahomet's toiriltsus.. pended between earth and heaven; the offence, it seemed, not being to be reach ed here or any where else After some lurther remarks, he observed; that the plain fact was, that Watkin. .caused the requisition to be issued dreve upon rauiainzsoKi tne ciaim anon that ren.

He toon anotner survey of the -various io- dictments, contending that the whole of tuem sAowca cases olgross,;: tinusnal Ihd anprecedentetl; frauds fn refer ence to the statute of limitationn, as K had been called,'- he maintained; that being passed by pongress in the year 17D0, it could not operate in this Dis trict, iirttnuchas Congress did not as sn!.a e jurisdiction bere until .1800. Ia the act of cession! .he repeated, it was provided that the laws of Maryland should continue in force within the' Maryland part of the DistrictThe common law formed part ofthatjaw, and as such was adopted by tbe United Slates. - lie cont ludedby stiting, that if the statote applied to that case, it ap plied also, to every, crimoal cae which he might be called noon ttnttitte;but be would confidently state, that that statute applied only to sratetory offen ces.
