ill?. EWING Sc LIEUT. LANE. Statement read to the Court by Lieut. Lane. . The investigation being closed, I will, by permission of the courr, proceed to examine the evidence pi iced upon the record. I commence with the account given by Mr. Ewing soon r:fter the affray. Hon. 11. Burns From this it appears that '"I, with tny hands in my pockets, side pockets of over-coat. and my cane under my left arm accosted ?vr. Swing," said "I desired some conversation with him, and alluded to some difficulty tint existed between us. At this moment Mr. Eving recognised me," that I remarked further "I would make him or lie must answer for it or I would punish or disgrace him. Mr. Ewing called me a damned pup

py or rascal, to accost a gentleman in t lie street i

and, feaving an attack, was placing a bundle of papers-in his -pocket, when I struck him with my cane." This account of the affray is the fullest, and differs less than any other from my own recollection. It does not, however, contain tho coarse language wirh which Mr. Ewing broke in upon my first reference to the difficulty that I supposed to exist, nor the declaration and threat that followed it. In both accounts Mr. Ewing says, that after alluding to the difficulty I remarked, "I desire to tell you that I have to punish you." The Hon. Messrs. Thompson and Mitchell, the only persons who beard any part of this conversation, state my words to have been "I am under the necessity "of punishing you." These were the only words ihey distinctly beard, and they supposed them to be .only part of a sentence. By Mr. E.ving's own statement, vide Hon. R. Bums my allusion to the difficulty preceded the sentence in which the word "punish" was thought to have been u sod. ' In both accounts Mr. Ewing says that, "fearing, or expecting an attack from me, he thrust a bundle of papers that he held in his hand into his surlout pocket, and was immediately struck by my cane over the left eye that this blow inflicted the cut," the only wound he received penetrating the skin. How greatly he is in error appears from bis own statement, that "he then had his hat on." A glance distinctly proves the impossibility of inflicting the wound above the left eye, with a cane, while the hat is on the head. Mr. Ewing says "he wa3 struck with the leaden head of a steel cane" Mr. J. K. Poor's evidence shows that "the cane had an ivory head weighing about one ounce that cane-head and all weighed fromrc to six ounce!3." Mr. Ewing was not in fact touched with the bead of the cane; that, with the tassel attached, was in my hand. Mr. Ewing states that I gave the first blow. This statement is not supported by any other testimony; and on this point Mr. Ewing's evidence is legally inadmissible, from the immediate pecuniary interest dependent upon proving it. I Ion. If. A. Muhlenburg, who was in full view when the affray began coming towards us, saw both canes in motion, but could not distinguish which had precedence. All other witnesses state that when first seen, Mr. Ewing was the assailant, and . continued to be throughout the affrav. Even admitting Mr. Ewing's testimony on this point, it is clearly proved erroneous. The blow particularly designated, was not, and could not have been, given, as stated and in the attendant specific circum

stances, !0 I? proved entirely incorrect. I would willingly clear up all doubt on this point, but being highly excited by Mr. Ewing1s coarse language, and having my attention exclusively fixed upon the hand, which, as 1 supposed, grasped a pistol 1 scarcely heeded the blows with his cane that I threw off with my left arm. My apprehension as to the pistol will not, I hope, be deemed unreasonable. I understood he wr.i habitually armed with pistol?. I know him to ba a "fighting man," and his excitement, abusive epithets, and threatening language, accompanying the motion of thrusting his hand where he would or did carry bis pistols, left, at the moment, no 'doubt on my mind of his purpose. It may not be improper to remark, that I did not see the papers that Mr. Ewing alleges he held in his hand, nor dors it appear that they were seen by any of the witnesses. Mr. Ewing say?, that "the sword of his cane having been disengaged from the scabbard, he attacked ras with it" "because he found, from my iv-capon and my manner, that my ohject iras his life.''1 My only weapon at the outset was a slender ivory-headed cane, weighing between five and six ounces; and even this all the witnesses agree in saying was lost, hy the head coming off, and

my friendly manner; and even Mr. Ewirio's defective statement (vide Hon. R. Burns) of win' I said, clearly show that my v? intent was, to obtain explanation or atonement. The peculiar circumstances referred to by Mr. Lytic, and which, even to him, were known but in part, prevented me from obtaining this ihrough the ordinary medium of a friend. I availed myself, therefore, of an accidental personal meeting to ask it. I desired that Mr. Ly tie's evidence should he confined solely to the proof of my intentions. The court directed otherwise. I desired that the affray should be judged of by itself, and that whatever of censure I might deserve should be undiminished by any cause that I did not feel wiHmz

i to distinctly exhibit. This was rendered the more

desirable by a charge that Mr. Ewin preferred to

I must however, be permitted to remark, that I w.is a citizen before I was a soldier that in becoming a soldier I did not cease to be a citizen, and although I assumed new obligations, I abandoned no former rights among these, are the protection cfmy feelings and the defence of my person.
