This 36-page pamphlet details the examination of W.G. Kendall, the former postmaster of New Orleans, before a U.S. Commissioner.

Benjamin (who served as Kendall's lawyer), and the arguments presented by counsel. Published in New Orleans by the Daily Delta Steam Press in 1855, this document offers a detailed account of the legal proceedings and provides insights into the legal practices and judicial system of the time. The pamphlet notes that following Benjamin's argument, the audience burst into applause. Kendall was later tried in criminal court and acquitted, subsequently leaving the country for Mexico.
