The jury failed to agree upon a verdict, doubtless because Joseph Eaton, who presided, had given it as his opinion that the law was probably unconstitutional.

At the second trial before Judge Dagget of the Supreme Court, who was an advocate of the law, Miss Crandall was convicted.

Her counsel, however, filed a bill of exceptions and took an appeal to the Court of Errors.

The case came up on the 22d of July, 1834.

The nature of the law was ably discussed by W.W.Ellsworth and Calvin Goddard, who maintained that it was unconstitutional, and by A.T.Judson and C.F.Cleveland, who undertook to prove its constitutionality.
