Dr Sir 
Your communication of this date was handed me by Mr. Jones, and in reply, I would say that I have no Power to prevent the Trial taking place before any Mag't of the County, I issued the warrant acording to the usual form which is to direct it to any Lawful Officer. to execute and Return before any Mag't living in the dist with both parties. I can assure you that I think he will receive justice before Donegal McMillon one of the Mag's mentioned in your communication.
