Norfolk Gazette And Publick Ledger

Our readers have heard a great deal respecting the case of Sellick Osborne, the editor of a paper called the Witness, in Connecticut. In the first page of this day's paper, will be found the statement of the Sheriff; after reading it, and comparing it with what has been advanced on the other side, we think any one must be satisfied that there never was a clamour raised with less cause, so far as relates to the conduct of the Sheriff. It appears to have been the settled plan of Osborne's friends to have entrapped the Sheriff into a breach of duty, as they must have known that some of their requests were inadmissible. We would advise our readers to read this plain unadorned statement, which we have copied without any of the remarks which have been inserted in the Eastern papers.
