After having thus submitted to the House the general tenor of the
proceedings in this trial, your Committee will, with all convenient
speed, lay before the House the proceedings on each head of evidence
separately which has been rejected; and this they hope will put the
House more perfectly in possession of the principal causes of the length
of this trial, as well as of the injury which Parliamentary justice may,
in their opinion, suffer from those proceedings.
