KO VEL CASE,
The following case is given at a subject of cn-
riosity, tiavitig attracted much attention.

The Kople, vt. Edward Van Ordcn and .lames Stewart-.
n-W.dictnK nt for grand larceny tried before his honor,
Richar4 K;ker, Recorder, Alderman andjus-
tme Wamer', on Monday, March lltli, 1816.
The jury being called and sworn, John Rod
muan, Esq. District Attorney, opened the case
of the prosecutor, and two witnesses were sworn,
when it appeared that the name of James Stew
art, one of the two prisoners who had been ar-
places hira ina situation of embarrassment.
He had extended his pardon to the Regicides.
Nay, one of them is, or was, till very lately,

vious an uoinlmect to the C all
Europe with disgust and astonishment) and the
present period no fresh, crime has been imputed
to.himyet the King is required to punish with
perpetual xile and deprivation of titles, &c. a
man whon m had thought tit to name as his
Representative fn a foreign Court. Undoub
tedly there is no punishment . which we should
think too severe for this person; but the ques
tion is, whether the King, in whom the power
of lrdoo alone, resides, can punish him for an
offence known to his Majesty but committed an
terior to the time when the King selected him
as an, object of confidence and trust. This is
one of the ditticiikies always ioseperable from
a policy of raseillation and delay. The w isest
policy would have been for the King immedi
ately upon his second restoration, to haye pu
nished the principal traitors according to their
deserts, and promptly to have satisfied public
vengeairee. and assured the public tranquility.
