THE SOCIETY ISLES-THE AMERI-
CANS-AND THE
FRENCH.
Tue expedition from France that set out in
the commencement of the
present year
for tho
Sandwich and
Society Islands,
which wc no-
ticed in one of our recent
numbers,'
not tho
only design
that has been formed
by
civilized
nations, with reference to the innumerable
isles that
bespeck that ocean of which
Austra-
lia is destined
to hold tho
imperial away.
The Americans, as well as tho French, have
long manifested a
regard
to eitiict a successful
lodgment
in these sous
; and it is woli known
that tho French Government have been
protty
lavish in their
expenditure, with the
hope of
discovering somo nook or other where
they
might,
at a future
day, sally forth,
and
give
their
neighbours that
species
of
annoyance in
which rival
powera aro
always
known to
'
glory. Wc fool
protty
well
convincod, but

for the
long continental war in which Napo-
'
'
i.KON was
anibitiotislyciigaged,
that
valmpe
rial Court of Franco would have
turned its '
, attention to these
seas, and
long ere the
subjects-
of His Britannic
Majesty
could
have
planted
the
standard of Great Britain
around tho continental isle of
Australia,
some favoured harbour or other, with a
pro
-
portionato tract of in
valuable
country,
would
liavo boen
possessed by
the
French
power ;
.and wo owe more to the
employment of that
.
people
in a
protracted war,
in which
every
.
energy was
iuccssantly occupied by their fa-
vorito
Emperor, than wo do to tho
activity
of the Home
Government, for we aro
given
to
understand, that the scientific and
indefatiga-
ble
navigator Captain Kin, R. N. son of one
of our
Governors-in-Chief, was the first that
took
possession
of tho
whole of Australia in
- the name of the
English Sovericign. To this
.island, therefore,
all the
foreign-Powers com
>bined
may bid farewell ; and such
being the
<
case,
as the
fact is
universally authenticated
-that Australia is a dominion of Great
Britain,
it is natural to sop|ioso that France and
America, two
powers that seem jealous
of the
?
growing
and
extending inlluenee of
England,
are determined upon annoying
us
probably at
no distant
day,
and in order" to ohVct
this, they
are
evidently
<tlesirous of
establishing
them
.
selves on this side of the
equator. With
fin'-,
policy
wc tire
not inclined to
quarrel
with
\
cUhortb* FivhcIi or the
Amorieuis, though 1
wo an: of
ujunion, it would bo much more |
^consonant with the
principles
of
justice,
were
'
foreign Powers to avoid
marking out,
as their
future
belligerent
depots,
those islands
upon
which the feet of
Englishmen} liavo
long- trod-
den, and where the benefit of their mercantile
or
missionary labours had
long been ex-
perienced ; and,
if even
they
should be con-
strained, from national
jealousy,
to
step
into tho
labours or
possessions
of
others,
.something like
?
delicacy to the
inhabitants
themselves, anti
respect
to the
powers that
brought them
.into
political notice, ought in
justice
to bo
manifested
; but, when-we hear of the French
sending
their
cargos
of
priesls, with their
.
crucifixes, to une
vangelizcall that the-Protestant
Missionaries have been
effecting,
for the last
i-twenty or
thirty years,
in the
Society
and
.Sandwich
Islands,
and
when wo find that
America is
slyly insinuating
the
establishment
of a
Consulship, without
seeming
to
regard the
inlluenee and
footing
of Great Britain in the
Society Isles, we aro of
opinion that one con-
clusion
only can be arrived
at, as to the conduct
of those Courts which authorize, and wink at,
such an anomalous and inconsistent line of
policy.-But England is still
singular
in national
'honor,
as well as in
national
courage ; and, when
either of these essential qualifications
begin
to
alimiuish in Ihoir
inlluenee,
then
England will
<oon dwindle into
insignificance anti
contempt ;
'but we foretell that such will never
prove
the
destiny of tho Mother
Country. How the French
will fare at the
Sandwich
Islands,
we are not
exactly prepared to
answer, though Protestant
Miiskinaries have
long been
successfully
cs
ablishcd
there;
but what will most
likely
prove
to come in contact with tho
design
of
Jho French
is, that the
King
of
Owhyheepos
sesses a regular standing army, disciplined by
European
and American officers, with cor
rcspnndcnt
forts and batteries ; independent of
which,
his
Majesty
of the Sandwich Islands
is in
possession
of a
tolerably good navy, [
which is' maintained
principally by Spanish
dollars, so that
'
tho
v
Proncli
priests,
and
French Government to boot, will,
in all
pro-
bability,
find
sumo difficulty
in
making any
profitable advances in that
quarter; more espe-
cially
as the
Americans, who are
already
en-
vious of the
English in the Southern
ocean,
consider tho Sandwich Islanders somewhat
under their
protection ; and,
we
believe,
aro at
this moment in the closest bonds of alliance with
thoso slanders. As
regards
tho
probability
of success on tho
ptrt
of tho French at tho
Society Isles, wo aro
gratifyingly given
to
understand, by
soveral Gentlemen who havo
long
boen residents in that
quarter,
that the
moment their
objects aro
avowed,
and the in-
troduction of Romanism is
insinuate!, that
instant will
every island,
which has
yieldod
to
the
Christianity
of the
Bible,
afford substantial
demonstrations of their dissatisfaction and dis-
gust.
We cannot
help expressing-
it as our
opinion, however,
that tho natives of tho
Society Islands arc not in an
equal
stato
of civilization with their brethren of tho
Sandwich
Islands,
inasmuch as
they
have
not tho same means of defensive or of of-
fensive warfare. With precisely similar ad-
vantages
as the
subjects
of the
Owhy
hecan
Monarch, they
are not
by any means
in the samo state of
manly civilization.
The
Missionaries have cause to
regret
this
important omission of their
duty ; though we
should bo
very sorry
for
any one to sujipose
it was our aim
to hint that the Missionaries
had
neglected
to
perform
their
duty ; on the
contrary,
we
are proud
of an opportunity uko
theprcseuttosetotirseal of humble and
unequi-
vocal tribute of
approbation upon the transfor-
mation from darkness to
light, which these
zealous
Servants of Heaven have been tho
honored instruments of
effecting ; never-
theless it would havo been no
injury to tho
object which
they
had
primarily
in
view,
had
the M issionaries
gradually inspired
i lie islanders
with a desire of
imitating
civilized nations in
the arts of trade and
commerco, by
which moans
ship-building
would have been
encouraged
seamen would have boon
procured-fortifica-
tions would have been
erected-troojis
would
have been
discijilincd-rand every island, by this
time,
at least
every
island that had abandoned
idolatry
iii favour of Bible
Christianity, would
havo been able
'
to defend itsolf against
the encroachments of American
'
frigates, or
the threatened visitations of
cargoes
of French
priests. Probably our remark on this head
will not bo too late in the day
to admit of im-
provement
in
Missionary enterprises,
inasmuch
as it is our
opinion,
that the
only way
to insure
and
perpetuate Christianity,
is to follow it
up
by civilization ; and wc feel
impelled
to offer
this
remark,
from
having
observed that thora
is a
danger in
running
into
extremes.
Some
say
that civilization should
precede
Christianity,
whilst others maintain that Chris-
tianity
should take th lead of civilization ;
whereas if civilization ware made the handmaid
or
auxiliary
to
Christianity,
the latter could
not fail of
winning
its
widening way, arid ef-
fecting
4he most glorious conquests. Where
civilization is not as
carefully inculcated as
the tenets of
Christianity are
sedulously en-
grafted,
"the
religion of the Bible will fail of
'
being properly appreciated,
for it is as neces-
sary
that a man should bo
industiioiis, as that
he should be a
Christian;
and a
very excellent
Divine somewhere
says, that
"
industry is
the
mother,the nurse, and the
guardian
of
all
virtues."
Wo must now call the attention of our
,Readers more
immediately
to the
Americans
i
and the
Society
Islands. We havo been
po-
litely
favored with some curious and in-
teresting documents that
passed
between
King ,
Tamatoa, of
Raitca,
and
Captain Jones,
of the American
sloop-of-war Peacock,
in the
mouth of
September last. From the
perusal
of these
papers
it will be seen, that we aro
perfectly justified
in our remarks on this oc-
casion. The Americans
evidently have some-
thing
in view
;
but it is
gratifying
to
observe,
that
England very properly possesses no
small share of influcnco
throughout
the So-
ciety Islands. Whether tho
Secretary
of State
for tho Colonies will honor
King Tamatoa
with an answer to his letter we cannot
say,
though, were wo inclined to venture
an opi-
nion on the
subject,
the
important circum-
stances in connexion with it
require
prompt
consideration,
in which conviction
every in-
telligent Reader will doubtless give us his
support, becauso it would bo a monstrous
pity
were Great Britain to lose lier influence
amongst those islands in the
immediate neigh-
bourhood of an
empire
like that of
Australia,
to which she has
given
birth. If those
islands
are
worthy
the attention of
foreign
Powers,
who bave not as
yet an inch of
territory
in
these seas,
how much more invaluable
ought
they to be in the estimation of that
Nation,
which is
already possessed of an island as
promising
in its commercial and political as-
pect, as the

TRIAL BY JRV.
A
man, named

waa
put upon his
trial?
on
Wednesday last,
in the
Siiprem
I
Court, charged
with a
larceny
on the
goods
o
George Innes, Esq.
of Bathurst. Previoti
to the
Jury being impannelled, the prisone
exercised what he believed to be his
right
o
challenge, by objecting
to three of the Gentle
men who wore about to be sworn, assigning,
a*
a reason, their manifest
intimacy with the vir-
tual
prosecutor
in the
case,
from circumstance.1
which had come under his own knowledge,
previously
to his
being placed at the bar.
TllcCIIlEl.. Justice, however, on hearing
the
objection,
decided
igainst
the
prisoner,
oi
the
authority,
wo
presume, of that clausi
in the New South Wales Act, which takes
away
the
right
of
challenge
under the common
law, except in direct
proof
of interest in the
event of the
trial, and directed tho case to
proceed. This,
we believe, is the first in
stance where au
objection
lias been made to a
Juror, in a criminal case,
since the
passing
of
the Act of the 4th Geo. IV. and the
promul-
gation
of the
existing Charter of Justice in
this
Colony.
Whilst we admit
lliat, under
the
law,
as it at
present
st
.nils,
the Court
could not have come to any other conclusion
than at that which it
arrived, and
that,
on the
reasons shewn, the
application by the
prisoner
must have been
disallowed,
nevertheless this
instance,
novel as it. is in the records of the
Colony,
is
worthy of
particular notice,
inas-
much as it is a
practical i lustration ol' those
argument
which wc havo so often adduced to
urge the unlimited extension of Trial
by Jury.
In the Mother
Country,
where the
blessings
of the British Constitution arc
enjoyed to
tho,
fullest
extent,
the meanest
individual who
puts
himself
upon
"
God and his
Country,"
which
Country
the Jurors are, feels himself shielded
by
the
regis
of
impartiality
and
justice, by
that
power which our ancestors have
placed
in
his hands,
of
rejecting, without a cause as-
signed,
such individuals from
sitting
in
judg-
ment, as his most distant
apprehensions
may
suggest to be
prejudiced against him. Tho
right
of
peremptory challenge is the
strongest
safeguard
of the British subject, and the most
potent shield
against
the encroachment of ar-
bitrary power. Th1 most
vaguo suspicion
of
inimicality
to the interests of the
accused, was
thought
sufficient
by
those
"
master
spirits"
of the
age, by
whom the
glorious privilege
of
Trial
by Jury
was instituted and
perfected, to
disqualify
an individual from
giving
a verdict
in the matter at issue. And
justly
so ; as the
prisoner then comes to his trial with a full
assurance of the
impartiality
of his
judges,
and,
whatever
may be the issue of the inves-
tigation, feels
perfectly
assured of that
"
true
dciiveranee, according
to the
evidence," which
necessarily awaits on the deliberations of a
ti bunal disconnected with
prosecutor
or
pri-
soner, plaintiff or defendant. The recogni-
tion of the right of elia
.longe, where on,
y
a
ground
of interest can be
shewn, is,
in
fact,
nothing.
How
many a niau is there who fuel
conscious, in his own breast of another
being
his
enemy,
who could not prove
it to the sa-
tisfaction of a
Court,
or shew that he
was,
in
the remotest
degree,
interested in the event of
the
pending prosecution ? All who bestow a
thought upon
the
subject,or who
candidly
and
dispassionately
come to the consideration of
the
question,
must admit the full force of this
observation, and allow
that, under the
present
system, however honorable and conscient ion*
our Juries, as at
present constituted, may bo,
and
vye can bear witness to their
integrity,
still,
so
long
as any individual is
obliged
to
go
to trial with even a doubt
upon his
mind, as
to the disinterestedness of his
judges,
the
event, on one side or the
other, must ever be
considered
unsatisfactory,
and we must
sigh
for the absence of that
lustitution,
than which
the
wisdom of mun bath

bap
pier,
or one founded on a
juster

of
human
life,

rected towards the

partment has,
for some time back,
been a
subject
for censuro to Mr, Hall ; yet, not-
withstanding
the affirmation that information
escapes
from
it,
of
supplies being wanted,
be-
fore they
are advertised in the
public papers,
no such
thing
is
known or
practised.
The
Monitor
remarks, however,
that
"

vertisements for

easy
matter to say

to answer a sinister purpose, but
surely there can be
nothing
more
preposterous
than to reason
upon flying reports,
and to as-
sume them to be
true, without the smallest
reason for so
doing.
But this is

lu the first
place,
as
wo havo
already
re.
marked, many
of the discoveries which have
already been
made, have been
owing
to tue
accidental
observations oft
ose,
who
were in

general assigned
servants. In former
times,

'
when rewards were bestowed upon these men
for such
discoveries,
they
received no more
than a
ticket-of-leave, yet they made
their
disclosures without
any positive hopo or as-
surance of
reward, whilst on the other hand
tho'tieket-of-leavc
men, with no other
expec-
tation or
assurance, received,
at the
most,
as
the reward for their
important
discoveries-,
emancipations, whilst free men were
rewarded
with
grants of laud. But now the ease is
materially altered. These different
grades in
xnir
community have a
positive assurance
uf
reward, which, independent
of
every thing
else,
is sufficient to stimulate them all to
greater
exertions, as now
they
have a
sufficiently legal
claini, whilst
formerly they
were
by
no means
sure of
securing any reward. It is not foras
to
prescribe to the Government what
they
ought to do, but we think
they cannot, my,
that
fhey
will
not, give
less
upon
occasions
now,
than that which was
formerly given, without
any previous assurance at all.
In refeitmce to tho ticket-of-leavo men
being
unable to bestow time anti labour unon
expeditions
of the
kind, to which the No-
tice under consideration
refers, we arc de-
cidedly
of
opinion, that if the
objection reim
to
pecuniary inability (and we are 110t aware
that
any other can be
made),, we think wc
may
with
safety affirm,
that
they
are as
opu-
lent
generally,
as
any
oilier class in our com
uiuuily, whilst wc
know,
to a
certainty,
thal
the
prospect of emancipation would induce them
-to a much more hazardous
enterprise.
In
regard
to
assigned stock-keepers,
they,
in
seeking for advantageous runs for the cattle
under their
charge,
will now exercise a moro
rigid observation of the passes in the moun-
tain?, without at all
neglecting
their more im
mediate duties to their
masters,
whilst ia
doiiif
so, they
will have the
certainty,
if successful
of
securing
that which
is, or should
be, deal
to
every
British mind, at least a modicum of
liberty.
In reference to the free
man, successful ob-
servation will be the means of
advancing,
if
not
making
his fortune.
We
confess, however,
that the whole is a
game
of
chances,
but it is such a game as. no
man of
ordinary penetration would
willingly
throw
away,
as there is
every probability of
success, and that success is sure to crown
bim with reward.
We
perfectly agree
with the Editor of the
Australian, that hitherto
"
so little has been
done, so little has been offered in the
way
of
inducement, that wo view with satisfaction a
design
to give a stimulus to the
acquisition
of local and

lil
noticing
the case of.
Mr. Dunn in otu'
ast,
who is our
present
Chief
Constable,
and
-
on the eve of
retiring
after
long public ser-
vices,
we stated our
hope .that the office would
merge
into that of h
gh constable, although,
perhaps,
little if
any distinction exists between
their respective duties. T.ho
proper business
of a constable is to
prevent offences
against the
laws,
to
apprehend offenders, and to
preserve
the peace. This
duty
also devolves
upon
watchmen appointed
to
keep
the
peace, who
are the
representatives
of the
high constable,
yet
it is a
singular fact, that, by some
misap-
prehension,
watchmen in this
Colony
mani- j
fest a
great
dislike to take
into,custody offen-
ders who are free men. For the
information
of the
public, therefore,
on ii
subject which is
so much connected with their
peace
and
safety,
we shall state the duties of a
watchman,
as
they
are laid down
by one of the
pr ncipal law au-
thorities of
England. The
general duty of
constables, then,
is to
keep
the
King's peace
to the utmost of their
power, to arrest
affraycrs,
rioters and breakers of the
peace,
whom
they
are to
carry to the house of
correction,
or such
her convenient
place
of confinement.
A constable is
not only authoi iscd
(like
all
other
persons) to
suppress any affray
or dis
'
turbance, which may happen
in his
presence,
but he is bound at his
peril,
as conservator of
the peace, to use his utmost endeavours to
,tliat purpose, and that not
by himself
alone,
but lie is
empowered
and bound to demand
such assistance from others as he
may
stand
in need
of,
which
they are compelled to afford
him under pain
of fine and
imprisonbient.
If he see
persons engaged
in an
affray, or
on the
point
of
entering into
one, as where ono'
shall threaten to
kill, wound, or i.eat
another,
ho may
cither
carry
the offender before a
jus-
tice, or may imprison him of his own autho '
rity,
for a reasonable
time,
till his heat shall
be over, and afterwards detain bim till he find
sureties to
keep
the
peace.
.If the
affray
be in a house, the constable
may
break
open
the doors to
preserve the
.
peace ;
and he
may also
apprehend those who
have been
guilty of an
affray,
and fled
to the
'house to shelter themselves from his
pursuit.
By
32 Geo. III. c.
58, s. 17. it is
enacted,
. that
any constable or watchman may appre-
hend any suspected person, or reputed thief,
.and
convey
lum before a justice ; and if it
appear
on the oath of a credible
witness,
that
lie is of evil
fame, uid shall not
give a satis-
factory account ol'
himself, he shall be deemed
a
vagabond within the
intent of the Act of
17th Geo. II. c. 2.
,
These are a few of the duties out of
the
many which -constables
may
exercise
without the
authority
of a warrant from a
Magistrate,
and it does not matter whether
bo offenders be bond or the. Constables
arc too
apt
to be
imposed upon by
the
exclamation of
"
I am a free niau !" and thus
'
the
public service is liable to serious
injury.
We ourselves have been witnesses of tlie
fact,
and
seriously
suffered
by it. We would there-
fore, caution the
conservators of the
peace to
exercise their
duty
with
promptitude,
or
they '
may subject themselves to
penal consequences.

The Attohnly Gknebai. stated the
ease, and called the
following witnesses :-.
Connor
Cosgrove stated, that, about the
month of
May, two
years ago,
he was tend-
ing
some
sheep
in the
neighbourhood of
Lawson, near a
piace culled the
Dirty
Swam|> ; that
he saw the
prisoner, Gully,
drive a
cow, the
property
of Govermm ut,
with a
strawberry
calf
running by
her
side,
from
a*mongt>t
a number of otlier animals,
and lire ui her from a musket ; the cow did
not fall at the first
shot,
and the
pi isoner
loaded his
piece again, and fired a second
time,
when she fell ; the
calf, which at first
ran
away
and
joined
the
herd, came back
^ain, and remained near the
cow after she
was shot ; witness was at that time about 100
jurds off;
a
man, named Michael
Power,
came
up to
Gully after the cow was
g'iot,
when witness went
aay,
and saw no moie

at that time ; on the
following day, witness
wu at the house of
Boyce Egan,
and saw
the calf there which bad been
running
with
the cow when she was shot ; can swi ur
posi-
tively
lo her
identity ; continued to see tin
calf
constantly, at least once
a-week,
for
three
months, at the
end of which time she
was branded with the letters . E.
John
Prosser,
a
corporal
in the mounted
police, stated, that about five months
ago,
in
consequence of information received
by
the
Magistrates from Power, he was directed
to
proceed to the house of the
prisoner,
Egan; that he took a number of cattle
from his
premises, but not
finding the straw-
berry cow, as described
by
the last
witness,
Cosgrove, he
proceeded to the herd of Dr. .
West,
at
some miles distant,
having heard
that
Egan hud sent some cattle out of the
way,
and
there found a
strawberry cow,
marked B. E. which ure the initials of the
prisoner's name, and
a small steer which he
brought away.
John
Harley,
also one of the mounted
police, corroborated the
testimony given by
the last
witness.
A witness was called
by
the
prisoner, whose
testimony,
as to some
conversation which he
had with Michael Power, was intended to
thew a
probable motive in
Cosgrove for com-
ing forward as a witness after such a
lapse
of time.
The
Chief Justice summed
up,
and *
told the
Jury that the
case
depended en-
tirely upon the
degree
of credit which
they
should
give
to the evidence of
Cosgrove. If
they believed him, then the
prisoners were
guilty of the offences
charged in the
infor-
mation. The
prisoners were found
guilty.

in

of the late

of the

he had not served the
defendant with notice of the motion mentioned
in Court on Tuesday last
(respecting

as there would not be

merits of his motion should be
disposed of, to

The Chief Justice.-I would
suggest,
Mr. Moore, that
you communicate with His

understanding
take
place
as to what course of

SI-

brought
before their
Worships, charged with
assaulting Sampson Cleaver, a
butcher,
in
Macquaric-street,
about
7 o'clock the
pre-
ceding evening. Dr. Rumfoozle
appeared on
behalf of the
prosecutor,'
and
Mr. Bamboozle
for the defendant. It was adduced in evi-
dence by Cleaver, that be had called
upon
tho
prisoner
in order to escort her to a
tea-party,
to which
they
had both been
previously
u
vited. On their
way,
Cleaver was accosted
by
a
female, who,
at
parting, whispered some-
thing
in his car. Thi-. inflamed the smoul-
dering jealousy
of Mr-..
Imiecuiupips, who, it
seems, bad been
induced,
as she
declared, to
believe that the wicked Cleaver's affections
were
entirely
her own. She then
proceeded
to
upbraid
bim with "Cruel Cleaver, you
knows as how we was for to
go
to drink tea
with
Polly,
for to
bespeak when the
wedding
would be
made,
and
you knowcd as how I
doesn't like to be suited afore

pathetic appeal to the sensibilities of Clea-
ver's nature
only produced
a
grin, whereupon
Sarah, as the
prosecutor declared, ups
with
both
lieit.fistesses,
and lets them both
go bang
in his
face,
so that he would not have
nothing
to
say
to her no more while she was a

woman. Here Doctor llumfoozlo
interfered,
and
advised Cleaver to amend his
evidence,
because if chance should ever cause him to
speak
to her
before she
died,
he would be ac-
tionable foT
perjury.
This wise advice of
Klunfoozle's was
adopted,
and that
part
of
the declaration which
promised to have no-
thing to
say
to her no more was erased. Mr.
Bamboo le made a
long, learned,
and
intri-
cate
speech
in defence of Mrs.
Innccumpips,
but 24 constables
seeing one of our Reporters
taking notes, they weut and kicked him out
of Court; however,
the case terminated ludi-
crously enough,
as we are informed ; for tho
lawyers, differing
about some legal
point,
threw their
wigs in each other's
faces, which
act of
gross indecorum,
in
open Court, caused
them both to be taken into
custody, while
Mrs.
Innecumpips was dismissed with a re-
primand.
Jonathan
Jones, a prisoner of the
Crown,
was
charged with stealing a bag
of
nails,
the
property
of his
master, from an outhouse on
the
estate of
Slamango, about 20 miles from
Sydney.
'1 he
prisoner
had been seen on Sun-
day
last
gliding
into a
grog shop, about a mile
from the farm with the
bag under his arm.
Information was given of the circumstance to
a
constable,
who
immediately went to the
spot,
and had
the prisoner apprehended with the
nails on his
person. They
were
produced
and
identified in
Court, and the
prisoner was sen-
tenced to the
bastinado.
Taddy O'Grady, with cheeks like
thumping
red
potatoes, made a
verygraceful bow to their
Worships, on
being eharged by Sally Sligo,
with
having attempted to swindle her out of
the
price of a
pint and a half of
whiskey, which
hecalled for in her house last
night, and drank.
The
prisoner stated in his
defence,
that he
didn't mane to swindle her at all at all,
for he
offered to lave his own swale
person with
Sally
as a
pledge,
but which offer1 she refused
to
take. Remanded for further
examination.

Dreadful Instance of Hydropho-
bia.-A Corner's
Inquest .was taken ut
the Westminster
Hospital, before Mr. Thos.
Iii<!gs,
on the
body of Ann
Hudson, who
died of
hydrophobia, produced by the bite
of a
dog. The Jury
having
been sworn,
proceeded to view tlie
body, which was that
of a
middle-aged,
and
apparently robust
woman. The wound which had produced
this
frightful malady, was on the back of
the
right thumb, and mu'-t have been
very
smull, as the excised
put only extended
about nu inch in
length, hall an inch in
breadth at the widest
part,
and not more
than the sixteenth
pirt
of au inch in
depth.
It
appeared
that the deceased resided in
North-street,
Lambeth,
and that on Wed-
nesday, January 17>
a cur
dog belonging
to
the deceased had bien
fighting
with some
otb r
dog-,
and had within an hour after
wurrls bitten a woman and a child. The
mother of the latter called
upon
the de-
ceased,
and insisted on the destruction of
the
dog;
but was assured that the animal
was
perfectly healthy
and
dcil*,
aud in
proof
of ibis
assertion,
the deceased called
the
dog
to her, which, however,
instantly
on
seeing
the child' iwho hud
accompanied
its
mother) spiang
at it. The deceased
caught hold of the dog, and
prevented its
injuring
the chi'd
;
bul in so
doing received
a bite on her ri.ht thumb. The teeth of
the anmul
sligh'ly penetrating
the skin in
three
places. The
uogwus immediately
se-
cured in a
barn, and a
quantity
of salt
ap-
plied to the
wound, which at
evening
was
exchanged for a ljasiliron
plaster,
and the
wound in a
day or two afterwaids healed
up. lu the mean time the
dog
wks kept in
the barn, ind was
very qu et,
with the ex-
ception
that on one occasion he
gnawed
and
kicked the door to
getout. On the
Friday
evening
water was
given him, which he
lap-
ped readily,
and was then
apparently strong
and
healthy. The
fol'owing morning
he was
found dead. For sever.il weeks after the
occurrence, the deceased felt no bad effects
from
the bite
; but on
Friday
hvt com.

pain extended from the wounded
part up to the elbow. At dinner she re-
fused

any
ol her
liquid; but a
tea time contrived to swallow a few
spoon-

Up
to tirs
period
she did not
appear to'have enteitained
any apprehen-
sions from the wound, so that fear cannot

ducing the
malady.
The
symptoms soon
became more decisive, and of the usual
dreadful kind. On the
following

y she
was moved to the Westminster
Hospital,
wheie,
notwithstanding every exertion w.is
made, she died on
Sunday evening. Ver-

We much lament that Mi. Hood, the au
tsVoi of Whims and
Oddtttis,
and one of the
authors of the Odts and Addi esses
of gi
cal
People, should so fur hine mistaken th
chaiaetei of his ubi lit es as to
attempt a
series of Tales. Of invention of
incident,
he
appears to be
destitute; he excites no
interest
by
his
power of uariation ; ami
has,
in short,
no
yinputhy whatever m his own
story. The*uctess of Mr. Hood's fonnei
publications-i sut cess founded
upon
the
display
of undoubted
genius
of a
paitieula
cast-will have
prepared
the
pub
ic to en-
tertain
expectations which we fear will be
most
egregtously disappointed. We have
that
respert for Mr. Hood's
talents, and
lhat desire to see him
pursue a
prosperous
course of
fame, which induces us ta exhort

larnestly to cultivate by

blended with any tiling, with those touches
of
pathos

which he can command,
and which at t is a most
agieeublt

most
part,
of the

nppeur
to be imitated fioiu the ltifenoi
Italian tales-tales that, in their best
spe*
cimens, possess naiuctc, humour, and cha-
racter,
but in the infeiior

COURT OF KING'S BENCH-Guildhall.
-(Before the Lord. Chief Justice md a Special Jury.)
FAST V. CHAPMAN.
Air.
Chilly opened
the
pleadings.
This was nu
action
brought by. the
pinindi!", Win. Thomas East,
against, (he
defendant, John
Chapman,
the
printer
and
proprietor of the Sunday Times
newspaper, for
publishing
in that paper on
Sunday,
the 22d of Oc-
tober last, a libel
reflecting on the
plaintiff,
and im-
puting improper conduct to him. The defendant
pleaded the
ge-ner.-il issue. Several
special pleas
of
justification hail been, put on tin; record
hythe de-
fendant, bul winch had been withdrawn' a yhort time
before the
day appointed
for the trial.
"Mr! Scarlett slated the case to the
Jury.
Mc said
that in
addressing thom for the
plaintiff
in this
case*,
he should first 'of till endeavour to
impress
on their
minds, that I he defendant, ia
withdrawing
his
picas
of
justification, had added a great aggravation
to the
offence of which he hud now to
complain. He
thought
that circumstance would entitle his client to
hcaVy damages.
Tlie libel in
question waa oiie of no
ordinary nature-, but. was of a most gross and unfeel-
ing character.
Many
cases of libel had been, within
the last few months, presented to the consideration of
Juries,
but he would ailinn that lhere was no one of
those cases so wanton and
unjustifiable
in its nature,
or so horrible in its results, as the case which he was
then about to
present
to their notice. He .should now
tate to them the
history
of the case. The plain-
tiff was a
respectable horse-dealer,
residing
ia
Finsbnry-squarc. His uncle, the late Mr. East, had
left his extensive business to the tare of his execu-
tors, of whom the
plaintiff was one. The
plaintiff's
situation in life was not of a very elevated character,
but yet the
injury which the libel intended to do him
was not the
less, as his
situation,
such as it was,
caused bim to mix with all ranks from the
highest
to
the lowest. The defendant was the Editof and Pro-
prietor
of a uewspapcr
called the
Sunday
Times. He
would not there enter into any discussion as to the
i
right
and
propriety
of
newspaper proprietors pub-
lishing the transactions that took
place
at a Coroner's
Inquest,
but he
thought
that when a statement was
put
forth in a
newspaper, which affected the moral
character of any man,
unless the truth of such state-
ment could be
satisfactorily proved,
the
person pub-
lishing such a statement ought to hu liable to all its
consequences, and no damages that could be
given
in
such cases would be too
heavy, as making reparation
to the
suffering party.
The libel in this case arose
out of a
report
of the
proceedings which took
place
at a Coroner's
Inquest, and which appeared in the
defendant's
Paper. The Learned Counsel here read
the libel as follows :
ALLEGED RAPE, DEATH, AND CORONER'S INQUEST.
On
Wednesday an
inquest
was held before Thos.
Stirling, Esq.
one of the Coroners for
Middlesex, at
the
sign o'" the
Sovereign, in Taunton-place, Regent's
Park, on the
body
of Maria Webb,
only sixteen years
of
age.
The deceased was a
remarkably fine and
handsome
girl,
and to her
personal attractions were
added great vivacity and a
good disposition.
She was
the
daughter of very respectable parents residing in
the
country, and was in the service of John
Henry
Buckingham, Esq.
o'
Park-street, Mary-le-bone. Tlie
evidence first taken was that of the brother of the
deceased.
Mr. W. Webb, a cheesemonger, residing
in Bos-
ton-street, who stated that the dee-cased was unmar-
ried. She had bren in
good
health
previous to that
day week. Her mistress scut for witness-he went
to Park-street, and found deceased very poorly, com-
plaining of violent
pains
in her back.
Believing that
he had
caught cold, and that she did not
require me-
dical
assistance,
he returned home. lu the
evening,
deceased came to witness's house, and
repeated
her
complaint,
and witness's wife gave her a few
drops
of
turpentine,
and some
gruel-the
latter he took
home with her. Witness was
again
sent for by Mrs.
Buckingham,
at 10 o'clock ut
night. Witness found
the deceased
by the fire, still
complaining. A sur-
geon was sent for, he took a little blood from
her,
and
she was put to bed. It was
suspected
that she was
with child and
going
to
miscarry, hut on
being ques-
tioned she denied it. Witness took her to his own
house next
morning,
where the doctor continued his
-
attendances, and'she miscarried on
Saturday morning,
and died in witness's arms on Sunday evening.
Some
hours before she
expired
she was sensible m bei- dan-
ger, and witness
closely questioned
her. She Tuen
said that William East had bee
liking liberties with
her,and had committed the act wi'.h violence. It
ap-
peared that a short time
ago the deceased lived as
servant to Mrs. East, who
keeps livery stables near
Fiitsbury-square,
anti that W. East, who is her nephew,
manages
the business fpr her. The deceased further
informed her brother that
during the absence one day
of Mrs. East, William East rudely
attacked her, and
she locked herself in a room whither she had fled for
refuge; after remaining there onie time, she
opened
.the door,' thinking
East was
gone,
bat he
instantly
?rushed into the room, and
being
unable to
protect
herself, he accomplished
his
purpose.
He threatened
her, should she make any disclosure of what had
?passed.
She
quitted
her
place
in
consequence.
-John Hoskins Shearman, of 20, Dorset-place, Mary
le-bune, surgeon, and Mrs.
Buckingham, corrobora-
ted the evidence of -tho last witness.
The
Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a
verdict-" That she died, having miscarried."
The
Jury warmly declared (heir sentiments as to
'.the conduct of Mr. East, and
expressed
their readi-
ness to assist, as far as possible,
in
any
measure that
might
be
pursued
for the
bringing him to justice,
iThe Lear'ued.Connsel having
read the libel, remarked,'
that the
very .heading of the libel was so conspicuous,
-?as to be sure to attract the
eye
of
every reader. He
contended that no man in his senses, or who possessed
any feeling,
would have
published
this statement.
?No one could believe the facts stated to be true.
The' circtiiiLstances of. the case .were of the most
doubtful character. He contended that the declara-
tion of a
dying girl,-dropping into an
iintimely grave,
in
consequence
of lier
seduction, and
(particularly eon
sidering the
agitation of her mind at such a moment,
as also that of her
brother's), was such a declaration
as ought tobe looked upon with
suspicion. But the
report stated that the
Jury declared their readincis
to bring the
guilty seducer, the murderer of his
sister,
to
justice.
What would
they say, and what would be
.their
surprize
when
they
heard that the whole
para-
graph was a fabrication, a gross
and
infamous libel,
.having not even the shadow of a foundation? As
Noon a the
plaintiff had read this atrocious imputa-
tion, which was
publicly
made
upon
his
character,
as soon as his harrowed feelings would permit him, he
made
every
endeavour in his
power
to
justify himself
from such a charge. He called at the office of the
defendant, in order to ascertain from him who the
author of the libel
was, but he was unsuccessful in
his application, and he was then
compelled to
bring
this action to vindicate his
character, and
thereby
.give his accusers-au
opportunity
of
proving the truth
*
-of the
charge,
lint
they
had shrunk from such a pro-
ceeding, well
knowing
how false the
charge was, and
the itnpossibi'ity
of
justifying it. For at first the de-
fendant pleaded, not
only that the facts had taken
;place,
but that
they were true ;
and
yet when the de.
fendant found that the
plaintiff whom he had made
his victim, was determined to persevere
in this
action,'
.he then withdrew those
pleas of justification, because
of the difficulty
of
proving
the truth of the charge
under such circu stances ; this he considered,
if such
a line of defence should he
urged,
would be a still
.greater aggravation
of the
charge,
as it would be the
same
thing as-saying that he still believed the guilt of
tlie
plaintiff, but he desisted from
proving
the truth'
:of the facts
charged,
alone from the
difficulty of so
doing under the circumstance of the case. But even '
if the defendant had failed in proving his
justification,
.:nd verdict should be
given against him,
yet
if be
was able to shew that but a slight variance existed
between the
proceedings as
they took place before the
Coroner anil the report
in the
paper,
it was well
known that would
materially reduce the quantum of
{
'
damage?. It was evident that the defendant had
by
I ~
this publication circulated,gratuitously
the most foul

^Rfr. Inaacs, the plaintiff's attorney's clerk, pro-
duced a copy of the defendant's affidavit, filed at the
Stamp-othYe, thereby proving the defendant to bp
the
printer
and
proprietor
of the
Sunday
Times
newspaper.
John
Durding proved
that he
purchased the
newspaper in
question
at the defendant's office, 72,
Fleet-street.
Mr. Isaacs recalled--He produced
a letter from
the defendant's
attorney, stating
that he had live
special pleas
in answer to this action.
Mr. Duncan, executor of the late Mr.
East,
said
-I reail the
paragraph in
question.
The Mr. East
therein mentioned, I consider to be the
plaintiff.
The
paragraph,
1
believe, applied
to the plaintiff.
Crus'-examined-I had some conversation with the
plaintiff at the lime the publication took
place;
he
said a
girl
named Webb, had lived in his mother's
-
service, and that the Coroner's Jury had been
silting
on her
body.
He carne to mc distressed
upon
it. 1
have a legacy gf
5001. to pay to bim at the
expira-
tion of five years, if the plaintiff should be of good
conduct. Ile is 26 or 27 years
of
age. He did not
tell mc that the Jury had
expressed
such observa-
tions at the
inquest.
He said the whole statement
was false ; he did not say that there had been no Coro-
ner's
inquest, or that there was no Maria Webb, but
he said that the whole, as
respected him, was false.
He did not tell mc wheo the
young woman left hi
mother's service. Our conversation
might have
lasted an
hour; during
that time he did not tell me
he had made
any inquiries about it, but I told bim
I
thought
it his
duty
to have the whole
thing cleared
up.
1 have seen him since; he has not told me that
he had got the Coroner's notes of the
inquest, or that
he had been to Webb, the brother uf the deceased.
He
engaged
to clear
up his character in a Court of
Justice.
Re-examined-The plaintiff
fold mc that he or
his attorney
had been to the defendant,
calling upon
him to give up
the author of Hie
report
in
question ;
but
they could not ascertain from him who the author
was. I have still retained the
plaintiff
in his situa-
tion, in the
management
of his father's business.
This was the case on the
part
of the
plaintiff.
The Commun
Sergeant (with whom was Mr.
Brougham) addressed the
Jury
for the defendant. It
was not
any part
of his instructions to
urge
that the
defendant could have substantiated his
pleas
in evi-
dence,
had he not withdrawn them. He considered
that hi Learned Friend (Mr. Chitty) had opened
the case in rather an unusual manner, as he had said
that no mention of those
pleas had been made in
his brief. Now Mr. Scarlett had read to them part
of those
pleas ;. and therefore, in
justice
to
himself,
to His Learned Friend
(Mr. Brougham), and to his
client, he
thought
it his duty
to say that neither of
them had the
slightest
idea that such
pleas
had been
put upon
the record
; and, if that bad been done
from any mistaken notion, it
ought not to work to
the
disadvantage of his client. It was a most ha-
zardous experiment,
at all times, to
attempt to prove
a
justification ; and in the present case he could
assure them that it never was the intcntim of the
defendant to hare pleaded a
justification,
or that be
had one to the action. He contended that in this
case there was a total absence of malice ; the de-
fendant could not have .been actuated by such an
unworthy
and
unmanly feeling in
publishing
the
statemeut
against
the
plaintiff to whom he is a per-
fect
stranger.
If it arose from any cause, it must
have been from mistake, and from an unfortunate
misconception on the
part
of the
Jury
who were
summoned to decide the cause of the girl's
death.
At the present day,
with
persons of
reflecting
and
sensible minds there could exist but one opinion of
the benefit which resulted to
society
for the
publica-
tion of fair reports of the
proceedings
of the Courts
of Justice. Now, it was well known that if there waa
any one of our
judicial institutions,
the
proceedings
of which
required to be more closely investigated
into than
another, it was that of Coroner's Inquests,
which were
generally held in some corner, and their
proceedings never could be known, were it not for
the
publication
of what there took
place,
in the
pub-
lic prints of the
day.
He looked upon it as tbe
greatest privilege
of a
. free
press, to have
the
right of
casting it's all
scrutinizing eye
into the
proceedings of Courts of
Justice, thereby
protecting the public from any injury they might
lie
likely to sustain from the
operation
of any ar-
bitrary or
oppressive power (^n the part of those
officers who
preside
in those Courts.
Newspapers,
therefore, exercising their wholesome influence in
this respect, realized one of the
greatest blessings of
the
press. His Learned Friend said the whole para-
graph
was
altogether
an unfounded statement. Now,
he
might have called the witnesses who were examined
before the Coroner, but he bad not done so. He did
not call the Coroner, nor any of the
Jury,
to show
that
they had not made use of the expressions w'jich
were
reported to have fallen from them. There was
no doubt that the
Jury
had made use of the
expres-
sions which
appeared
in the
report. It would be a
libel on that Jury
to think that
they
had nut entered
into that
investigation, one of so serious a nature,
with
unbiassed and
unprejudiced minds,and
that
they
had
thought
it their
duty to express themselves as
they had.
They might recollect the observations
which a
Jury
had made in
giving their verdict in a
date
case, Astley
v.
Garth, in which
they
said tli.it
they regretted they
could not give the
plaintiff
more than a
shilling,
on account of his conduct. Now
it would be rather odd if the
plaintiff in that case
brought an action for the publication
of those obser-
vations. Such was the case here. The Lrarned
Counsel contended that, if the
public
had a right to
be
present at the
proceedings
of Courts of Justice,
any person had a
right
to give a fair
report of the
proceedings
of those Courts. The defendant here
could
only be answerable for the correctness of the
report. He would prove
to them that the report was
a fair one ; and'as the defendant admitted that he
knew
nothing
whatever
against
the
plaintiff's
cha-
racter, but
acknowledged
his
respectability,
he
hoped
if their verdict should
pass for the
plaintiff, tiley
wonld not
weigh
down his client with
any heavy da-
mages.
The
following witnesses were then called for the
defence :
Thomas Bell said-He is clerk to Thomas Stir-
ling, Esq.
Coroner for the
County of Middlesex.
On the llth of October last an
inquest
wies held on
the
body
of Maria Webb. Witness was present du-
ring
the whole of the
proceedings, having
attended
there
officially as clerk.
By Mr. Scarlett-Did you publish the
report
in
question in the defendant's pa,.cr.
This
question
was objected to.
The' Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that the
witness need not answer the question.
The cross-examination continued-Witness does
not
pay part
of the
expenses
of this defence. Wil-
liam Webb, the brother of the deceased Maria
Webb,
was examined on that occasion. Witness was
present
when the
Jury returned their verdict
by
their fore-
man.
(The
verdict was here
read.)
By
Mr.
-Brougham-Did you hear the Foreman
of the
Jury
make
any observations
touching
the sub-
ject matter of the
inquisition,
or
touching the pre-
sent
plaintiff?
Mr. Scarlett objected
to such evidence being
given, on the ground,
that as the defendant had with-
drawn his
plea
of
justification,
the
plaintiff was not
prepared here, under the
general issue, to show his
innocence of the
charge imputed
to bim. If the de-
fendant had persevered
in
pleading a justification,
the
plaintiff would have been
prepared
with evidence
to prove his innocence.
The Lord Chief Justice thought
the evidence
ought
to be received, not with
any view to determine
the verdict, but only
to be
given
in
mitigation of da-
mages.
The witness then answered Mr. Brougham's
question
in the affirmative.
?
Cross-examined
by
Mr. Scarlett-What was taken
down in writing before the Coroner, was
only
related
to the subject of the
inquiry.
The witness then read the
depositions of the wit
i nesses before the Coroner.
j
The examination of the witness was then
resumed.
I Webb stated in his evidence that when his sister was
sensible of her danger, she told lum that during her
residence in the
plaintiff's mother's house, she was
obliged
to lock . herself
up
in her
room, ou account
of the
plaintiff's
conduct. That she remained in her
room until such time as she thought
the
plaintiff had
goneaway
from her .door;, but as soon as the door
was
opened,
the
plaintiff,
who was standing outside,
rushed in, and
having overpowered her, accomplished
his
purpose;
that East then threatened her if she
made
any disclosure,
and that she then left her
place.
Crof!S-cxaniiticu~-Chapmvrt, the defendant,
is a
stranger
to mc. lonly lenow bim
by sight. I saw
him yesterday morning.
1 have seen the manuscript
from which the
paragraph was taken. I saw it before
publication. I have read the
paragraph.
I know
the hand
writing
of it.
Mr. Scarlett asked the witness if it was not in his
hanv-writiiig
?
The witness refused to answer the
question.
The Lord Chief Justice thought
he
ought to answer
it.
Witness-The
greater part of it is in
my
hand-
writing ;
I won't swear that the whole of it is. I
believe Mr.
Stirling knew nothing
of the
publication
of the
report.
I sent it to the editor of the
paper,
and received a
pecuniary reward-a few
shillings.
The remuneration
depends on the
length of the re
| port. 1 don't know that Mr. Shearman, or Mrs.
Buckingham did
say
a word in corroboraron. Mr.
Stirling did not
reprimand
Webb for his conduct.
Nothing passed of the girl's telling
her mistress that
her brother gave her some pills, which made her ill.
Itc examined-He had au
object in sending the
report to the
newspaper,
as it was mentioned
by
some
of the persons who were present at the
proceedings,
that I had
suppressed it. I took no other notes than
the depositions. The
summoning officer mentioned
that one of the
Jury said that the
proceedings ought
to be made known. I have been clerk to Mr. Stirling
four years.
Thomas
Webb, brother to the deceased, Mary
Webb.-I saw the
report
in the
Sunday Times ;
it is a
correct and fair report of what passed.
Cross-examined-I did not see tbe
manuscript
be-
fore it was sent.
Mr. Shearman, the surgeon, who attended At the
inquisition, saw the account
published
of it
;
it is a
correct
report.
Cross-examined-Webb did not
say before the
Coroner that East had committed a
rape,
to toe best
of my recollection.
Re-examined-The depositions read
to-day
are
correct. The observations I made to the Coroner
were made iu Mr. Webb's
presence.
Mrs.
Buckingham,
with whom the deceased Maria
Webb
lived,
said that she was examined before the
Coroner ; the depositions and report read to-day
are
correct.
Cross-examined-Witness did not
say
at the
inquest
that Maria Webb's brother, had
given
her some pills
which did not agree with her.
Mr. Daniel Cole-I was the foreman of the Coro-
ner's Jury.
I have seen the report ; it is a correct
one. The Jury
did express their readiness to come
forward to bring
the
guilty party
to
justice.
Cross-examined-I did not express any wish that
the report should be
published.
Mr. Wm, Montague, another of the Jurymen, gare
evidence to the same effect.
Mr. Scarlett replied,
and
rc-nrged all the
topics
of
his
opening speech. He
complained that the defen-
dant, by withdrawing his plea
of
justification, bad
taken from him the
opportunity
of
showing, by the
clearest
evidence, the innocence of his client, and
therefore the falseness of the imputation cast
upon
his character. The teamed Counsel then took an
able review of the whole
case, and contended, that
from the course of
proceeding
the defendant had
j
adopted, he had greatly aggravated
his
original
offence, and he considered that the plaintiff was
entitled to an
exemplary amount of
damages.
The Lord Chief justice summed up, and
having
stated the nature of the action to the
Jury, observed
that the
plaintiff was entitled in law to their verdict,
and then the
important question
for their considera-
tion was, the amount of
damages tbey
would award
the plaintiff for the injury he bad sustained. The
matter of the report contained certainly
a very great
imputation on Mr. East, as it
imputed to bim the
having violently assaulted a young woman, a very
erious
offence, and therefore a
very
serious
impu-
tation to be cast
upon any one. The learned Judge
here detailed the circumstance out of which the
plaintiff's case arose. The
defendant,
in answer to
this action, said that the publication was a correct
report
of what took
place before the Coroner. A
point
had been raised as to the admissibility of evi-
dence to show that it was a correct report ; and after
giving that point the best consideration he was capa-
ble ol', he
thought the evidence ought to be
received,
not with a view to determine the verdict, but
only as
governing the amount of
damages. That evidence
produced in whatever shape
it might have been, could
not alter the publication,
for in the publication there
was that serious
observation,
that Webb's testimony
was corroborated hy
the
surgeon,
Mr. Shearman, and
Mrs. Buckingham.
As it was contended that ,tbis
was a correct
report
of what took
place before tbe
Coroner, it was urged that it was the duty of the
defendant to publish
it. Ha did not know that the
duty
of an editor of a
newspaper
differed from that
of any other person, for it was the
duty
of all
persons
to take care and be cautious of saying or
publishing
any thing to the injury
of
any
man's
character, or of
casting imputations, unless they were
fully prepared
to
prove
the whole truth of it. The learned
Judge J
here detailed the evidence adduced on the part of
the defendant, to
prove
the correctness of the
report.
He thought
that
they
had a very great example be-
fore them that
day, of the
many great inconveniences
which arose out of the fact of those who were eu
g.igcd in the administration of justice,
not
confining
all
they had to say to the matter of
investigation
which was
solemnly before them. If nothing
like
this had occurred, the plaintiff's feelings might
not
have been
injured. The Jury no doubt had
yielded
to their feelings, and it was not the first time that
men of the best intentions had been led
away by
their leclings to do that which in their more calm and
sober
leehngs they felt sorry
for
doing.
Wiiat
good,
he would
ask,
had been done to society by the pub-
lication iu
question, and in which
something was
alleged to the injury of the
plaintiff. Now no one
could
prove what was there
alleged against
the
plain-
tiff, except the young woman herself, and no decla-
ration of her's, even in her
dying moments, could be
taken in evidence in any proceedings which might
be
institute! after her death. So that this story au! its
publication could not have had a
tendency,
or the
effect of
bringing
the
guilty party
to
justice.
The
imputation, therefore, cast-
upon the plaintiff was of
a most serious and
grievous
character. They, then,
were the constitutional judges of the damages to be
awarded, and it has
always been his
practice
when he
found that evidence on one side the other had a ten-
dency
to influence the
feelings
of the Jury, to caution
tliein not to let their verdict be the effect or result
of
danger arising from those
feelings,
but to be the
result of
good
and deliberate consideration, and such
he was confident the verdict of the
respectable gen
tlemeu he was then
addressing, would be.
The Jury re-tired, and after au absence of an hour
and-a-half returned into Court, finding a vei-Jict for
the
plaintiff,
with
damages-100.

AN HIGHWAYMAN

mid, when he is taken, the law takes cure he should
be so still, while he lives. His'business is to break
the laws of the

for which the hung mun breaks
his neck, and there's mi end of the controverse. Ile
fears

it out of bight, that it

reposes for
awhile, and spends his lune ami

when he is out of action. 'These arc his close
confederates and

of both will not
permit
it to be known. He is more
destructive In a grazier than the murrain, and as ter
rible as the

seller,
thal sets him on work mid others to pay

und
laying
his hand on his heart-;
"
but it was an, uffa'ir of

we found this was hy no meant

that two shoeblacks have been known to fight a

Hubbes makes voluntary diiiukeiinest n breach of
the law of nature, which directs us to
preserve Ihe
use of our reason. The ancient Lncrdtiniuiunns used
lo make their slaves
frequently drunk, to give their
children mi uversion tutu horror fur this vice. The
Indialla ngurd drunkenness us a species of
madness;
mid,
iu their
language, the same term ram jam, that
signifies ilruiihiiid, also implies a
phreni-uc.

THE FIRST CRUSADE.
,Tbe
cruel
oppressions of -the Turks in Asia and tliP
ejnt' of Europe1, over the Christians excited such
general interest,' that several
Eorop an
princes
united
themselves together for the
purpose
of
making au
ex|K.'i!itii>n
to tile Holy Land, to free that part of
Christendom from the
slavery
of the infidels. A
poor French hermit, of the name of Peter, was the
first
instigator
of this
extraordinary prujret. He
went in
person
to
Syria, zealous in Cftc catii: of re-'
ligion, where he
gain--.!
a
thorough insight into the
miserable condition of,his Christian brethren, which
so much affected
him, that without
any delay
he re-
paired
to Jem alcm, at which
city,
'after pertbrmiijfr
his devotions, he introduced himself to the
patriar!)'
Simon, then master of the
Hospitallers, with whom he
held a serious consultation ou the
subject of
relieving
the Christians in Paiastiue. At this interview it was
ultimately determined that a letter should forthwith
be sent to
pope
Urb.iu the
second, stating
the suffer-
ings which the Christians were compelled to endure
under the Turkish
powrr. Peter
safely
arrived in
Rome with tim letter, and, being a perron of but
mean exterior, without any suspicion
he was intro-
duced to* his- holiness the
pope, fro;u whom he re-
ceived a most gracious and
flattering hearing. The
contents of the letter were considered of such im
poi-tancu
to Christendom, that the
pope immediately
summoned a council at Chenno!, in
France, where
three hundred
bishops were assembled, with
many
princes and ambassadors. The
subject
of the letter
having-
been
fully discussed at this
meeting,
all the
personages present readily agreed
to contribute ajl
in their
power to
mitigate
the
sufferings
of their
Christian brethren. The successful pilgrim, Peter,
who possessed
much
eloquence, was, after the
peru-
sal of the letter, calJed'to
give some further account
of the Christians in Palestine ; and while enumerating
their
hardships-,
he
wrought-so'effectually on the
feelings
of those present, that at the conclusion of
his narrative, every
one vowed
vengeance against the
infidels.
"iVcu this
meeting
was
dissolved, the members re-
turned to their own countries and so forcible did the
arguments of the Pope
and the narrative of the her-
mit
prove,
that a vast
army
was in-a very short time
formed out of'
Christendom;
the soldiers having
blooi* red crosse on their breast* and arms, aluminy
