F Mr. Edmiston was the pastor of St. Thomas' Parish, in Garrison Forest, Bal- timore county. 25 glance to the king of Great Britain, and afterwards took up arms, were guilty of perjury. The committee decided that such declarations had a tendency to defeat the measures recommended for the... preservation of America, and that it was their duty to take notice of persons guilty of such offences. Whereupon, a copy of the charge was sent to Mr. Edmis- ton, and he was summoned to appear before them, which he accordingly did. After taking two hours to consider the matter, he admitted that he had spoken the words, but excused himself by alleging that they were uttered in the heat of political excitement.
