without fpeciftiug the number, or coateuts

Worthington Gale, and to be carried before
him or f-me other migiftrarc for the county

%be Plea or Answer of Henry OJbornt to the
Jecond additional Article exhibited againf
him by ibe Honorable the Houje of Reprtjen
tatives in behalf of ihemfelvts, &c. to the
Honorable the Senate
THE laid Henry Offiorne, saving and re
feftVmg to himfeif the right of making such
farther answer or atifwert to the afurefaid se
cond additional article of impeachment, as
well as to any other procee lings which have
been or mar be exhibited against him, aud of
offeringproofs to the premife6 refpeftively—for
plea thereto he anfwerethand faith, That some
time m the month of October lall he was ap
plied to, as one of the Judges of this date,
to ifiue a warrant, founded on the affidavits
of two or three credible perfous, to search
the house of a certain William Worthington
Gate, of Savanuah, charged with having il
legally concealed and detained some valuable
personal effeft# of a person then lately deceased,
which he accordingly (igued after having the
said warrant altered so as to make it return
able before any justice of the peace fir the
county of Chatham, and the said warrant may
have direfted the body of the said Ga!tf*to be
taken, if the said concealed effefts (hould be
found iir-his cuflody, the fame being usual in
such cases; but he cannot be certain as toiny 5
part of the said proceedings; not having re
tained a copy of the said affidavits and war
rant, and in as much as the said additional
article does not fer f >rth a copy thereof, the
said Henry Ofbome, therefore, aufweretn
generally and la th, he always, while afting
as a Judge, conceived it a duty he owed to
the republic, to illue search warrant: (parti
cularly) when applied for, upon any probable
suspicion appearing, verified liy affidavits, as
the guilty ought not to escape. and the inno
cent, if apprehended, could be difeharge 1,
if on return of the warrant such person (hould
appear*to have been improperly or ground -
Jefsly apprehended, —which difeharge would
be granted or refufed according to the circum
stances of the case and is a diferetion, bever
before doubted, that is placed in every jnf
tice more or i;fs; but-particularly* in- the
Judges of the Superior Courn. That he has
hitherto conceived, and is yet of opinion, a
contrary conduft would be dangerous to the
property of individuals, by affording addi.
tional opportunities for the escape of the guil
ty. He denies having ifluerl the warrant afore
faid from arbitrary or oppressive motives, and
»v««» that in all things relative thereto, he
afted according to the best of his knowledge
for the public weal, and in difchaige of
thedutica of- hi* flation; and that if the
(aid warrant had been itturotd before
hiir, he would uot, though iiruei by him*
(elf, have Mediated to hive declared it illegal,
bad the fame appeared so (* .I i I
•« will the Iceufcd, •• the icculeraj e praetice
which bee due* prevailed i# thia hate, and

things contained in (be said fccoud addiiional
article of impeachment, in manner and farm
let forth therein ; and this he is ready t > ve.
