M. Love. Sir, although I do not come here to have the law expounded to me, yet I do come here to have the benefit of the law; and if the law allows me this benefit (I being unskilful) that if I can find in the charge matter of law arising, then to have counsel to advise me, and to overthrow the Indictment; Why should I be denied this benefit? And I do not yet, according to my understanding, see that you afford me the benefit of the law, you not granting me counsel to advise me to overthrow the Indictment.
