ACQUITTAL OF MR. OLNEY.
☞We are gratified to learn, by the last number of the Unionist, printed at Brooklyn, that Mr. Frederick Olney, a reputable and truly excellent citizen of Norwich, who was taken up by Andrew T. Judson & Co. on a charge of having fired Miss Crandall’s dwelling a few weeks since, has been acquitted. The Unionist says—‘The Jury would probably have given their verdict without leaving their seats, if they had previously chosen a foreman. But so soon as they had returned to their room and organized, they gave a unanimous vote in his favor.’ The same paper gives a long report of the trial, which shows that a more paltry and vile attempt to incriminate an honest man was never made in our land.
