71From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 25 November 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
It seems I think that a pardon may be justly expected in the inclosed case. but the practice we have followed is a sound one, to let the matter go to a jury that facts may be proved & disclosed; & after that only, to determine the question of pardon. the practice of Nolle prosequi is to be avoided but in extraordinary cases. I once agreed to one in a case of manslaughter by surprise, & of...
72From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1 February 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
The more I consider the letter of our Ministers in London the more seriously it impresses me. I believe the sine qua non we made is that of the nation, and that they would rather go on without a treaty than with one which does not settle this article. under this dilemma, and at this stage of the business, had we not better take the advice of the Senate? I ask a meeting at 11. oclock tomorrow...

76From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 28 March 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
Would it not be better to direct the application to be made to the present judge, in order to have the practice in Maryland brought to an uniformity with that of the other states. probably if the present judge were informed what has been the opinion and practice of every other district judge in the Union except his predecessor, he would be disposed to respect more the former than the latter...

will you examine the inclosed and make any alterations you think adviseable? it is written, as in my own name, but will be changed into the 3d. person & go from the department.

79From Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 12 January 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I return you the letter of mr Gelston respecting the Brutus. from what I learn she cannot be destined for the Misipi because she draws too much water to enter it. however considering the difficulty Congress finds in enlarging the limits of our preventive powers, I think we should be cautious how we step across those limits ourselves. she is probably bound to St. Domingo. could not Congress,...
