The suit to which I allude, was an a&ion of (lander, commenced against me in the au jtumn of 1797, by Doftor Benjamin Rufli, the noted bleeding phylician of Philadelphia. It was tried 011 the 14th of December last, when " the upright, enlightened an 4 impar tial Republican Jury" aflefied, as damages, Jive thousand dollars ; a sum furpailiug the aggregate amount of all the damages, aflc.fT ed for all the'tOrts of tIjTS" kifii}, ever fucd for in these States, from, their firft fettlc . ment to the present day.
