      TRIAL OF THE MANCHESTER CHARTISTS . tWe hare received toe following from one Of the < 2 rfen < 3 sntf , written a ebort time before his conviction . ] Tb . it trial commenced on Monday last at eleven o ' clock , before Baron AHereon . Tha defendant " names were called , and they were ordered into the -dock . John West demanded that the indictment -should be read , before he would ooHsesfc to plead which was complied with . George White objected to plead , on the ground that be was not in a posibra to obtain » fair trial , as he nst received a copj ef thedepoutiens , nor had any idea ef the charge , The jndge ofertaied the objection , and the defendints pleaded- 'Not Guilty . ' An applicatioi

      was then made to be allowed places at the table Which was agreed to : The Attorney General opeaed the proceedings in a most bitter tone , and several policemen were examined . The defendants crow-examined the police witnesses on both days and also a volunteer spy named Ball , who swore to the most infamous lies concerning Church burning , fcing houses , blowing np buildingi , &c . He out-PoweUed Powell ; bat such was his audacity , that On being brought to identify the partie * against whom he was swearing , he could only name two . Ha was ultimately turned ont ef court by the judge . The defendants spoke is their own defence , and occupied nearly the whole of Tuesday with their several speeches . On Wednesday morning , a few

      witnesses were called for the defenoe , some of them to prove an ahbi , but they were of no particular use . The Attorney General then began in a most bitter strain , to endeavour to prejudice the jury agaioat the defendants , alleging that it was through their speeches that all the evils arising from the late excited state of the public mind proceeded . He then endeavoured to make out a charge of general oorapiracy against them , indas tha writer of this happens to be one of the party , ne must come to a speedy close , % i ha must try to get this posted lest he should be incapable in an hour . There sesms little doubt that we shall all be in Kirkdale gaol to night . And cow that we have done our dnty , it is to be hoped thai the people will do their duty to oar families .

      ' Words are things , and a small drop of ink Falling—like dew—upoa a thought , produces That which makes thousands , perhaps millions ttirt . ' ¦ Bisok . ' WRONGS , RIGHTS , AND DUTIES . MEMOIRS OF CITIZEN CAUSSIDIERE . ' [ Concluded . ) Brother Proletarians , Not the least of the wrongs of your order is the impossibility of obtaining a fair and impartial trial in tho event of having to meat a charge of sedition , ' political' conspiracy / or that higher offence , onoe so ccmmonly commitUd by the aristocracy of this country , ' treason . ' For a member of your order to be accuttd of either of these offenoes is tantamount to being condemned . An acquittal is a matter of auoh rare occurrence , that I doubt if even that notorious possessor of the best of memories , ' the oldest UOB < bJtaoV can remember such an event .

      I have not forgotten the historical fact of the acquittal of Hoasa Took * , Thklwih , and others which acquittal is celebrated every year at Radley ' s Hotel , Blackfriars , by a set of hmrgeou liberals and political adventurers , who meet to gnole and glorify each other , and toast' Trial by Jury . ' The celebration of the glorious triumph of Trial by Jury * is in theie times a glorious exhibition of humbug . Trial by Jury , * like most of our excellent institutions , ' is a very good thing for the rich and the Imrgtoitie . but , as regards the poor , they would not bemuohwone off wen they subjected to trial by court-martial . As long as the middle classes dabbled in sedition , their leaders , spokesmen , and instruments generally , were acquitted whenever a majority of Liberals sot

      into the jary-box . But times have changed . The bowrgeoitie , if they have not obtained all they want , have obtained sufficient power to enable them to accomplish any farther change whenever they may choose to put forth their strength and help themselves . They therefore no longer sympathise with fteadvoeatea of ^ organic reform . The Charter is to them' the abomination of desolation / perhaps Hot bo tnnoh on account of the principles of that measure , as because the Chartists are strongly suspected of a desire to make political reform subservient to sooial reform . Perhaps the bitby-bit reformers are right in neir suspicions . I trait they are , for I hold , with Lamzhbah , that Liberty is something more than a word printed on a placard and posted at the corners of the streets . The liberty to Uve-the liberty to

      enjoy the fruits of one ' s own labour , unplundered by idlers—is the first of liberties ; and 'Charters' and ' Constitutions' ire only valuable bo far as they may snsble the disinherited people to recover tbeir social rights , and protect those rights when recovered . Mr Potwcac , { counsel for some of the Liverpool Confederates , remarked a few days ago , that' it oartainly was most gratifying to know that no charge of packing juries had been raised during the trial of the Chartists in England . ' There is no need to incur the wnm of packing-juries when it is well known beforehand how the jurors will rive their verdict . Place ¦ nwtfanin the dock , let SSk Gown charge the culprit with being a' physical force Chartist , ' and insinuate that he is not exactly free from the taint of 'Communwm / and forthwith Broad Cloth in the jury box will bsllow out « GUILT Y *

      la the present day- 'Trial by Jury is one of the [ great safeguards' of Despotism . If a working man is imprisoned , transported , or hanged , who daregrumble ! Has he not had the benefit of trial by jury ? Ah ! rroletariBBSof Germany , how happy yon will be when yon have secured for yourselves that 'invaluable privilege ! ' How comfortable you will feel when handed over to the tender mercies of dungeon villains , by the verdict of twelve honest iovrgeaU , instead of being condemned by the mode heretofore in vogue in your country . Sklning eels is of coarse unavoidable ; Providence made eels to be akinned , and if one is an eel , it is a matter of great importance that one should be skinned constitutionally 1 '

      The recent Chester Assizes afforded examples of the happy weiking of our blessed constitutional system . Similar xamples have been exhibited at the Liverpoel Assizes . York , too , will produce its quota . At Chester the learned judge gravely informed the Grand Jury—whom he termed '» Ue men '—that certain ' evil men' 'had tried to persuade the working classes that a general feeling existed amongst the rioh to act towards them as oppressors . ' If such men exist anywhere out of the dreamland of his lordship ' s imagination , they should be set down as foolish , rather than as evil men ; for why ahould they devote their powere of persuasion to prove that which is as notorious as the sun at noon-day—the incontrovertible fact

      that—• Laws grind ths poor , and rlob . men iuh the laws !' I wonld recommend the foolieh ( or' evil' ) men aforesaid to' save their breath to eool their porridge ;' seeing that the work of persuading the people aa to the oppressive characte r ot the rioh can be best performed by the rich themselves , and is at this very time being most admirably performed by judges , lawyers , and jurors , the 'legal and constitutional' representatives and champions of the privileged and the powerful . Of all the sad sights under the sun , the mockery of justice performed in our Law Conrts is amongst the saddest . Under the guise of a ' charge' to the Grand Jury , the Judge delivers a political speech embracing a review of European politics—the overthrow of dynasties—the dire effects of

      revolutionsand the folly and wickedness of those who seek any change in our glorious institutions . Next a Whig Attorney-General appears on the stsge , supported by an * array of legal talent / retained for the Crown . ' The talented gentlemen do not forget that their hoKC-hair head-fittings give them the privilege of uttering any amount of evil speaking , from assertions of the existence of ' dark and dangerous eoneplracies , to imputations of ' communism , ' The witnesses are then called—modest , truth-loving policemen , and wretetas compared with whom Jvda » fecABiox . wasa gentleman , for Mr Iecabiot ' went and hanged himself '—a not very common ocourencB with Whig spies . Sometimes , when under crossexamination , the spy will come out with something like the following admission : —

      When charged by the men with being a traitor , I always told them I was not . I was la the halit of com . muolcating t ^ ths policeman Brown all I knew . Then we have the following edifying interrupt tlon : — Ths Judge —It is not likely be weald tell the mob he was a traitor Like your clieots , he pleads not guilty to tin charge . Toil may call it a lie if you like . I don't tall it a lie . Tha Judge ooBBiders that a lie ia not a lie , if the liar is a spy ! Sat mark the ( not very ) delioate insinnation intended for the ears of the jury : ' Like your clients he pleads not guilty to the charge . ' That is to say , the defendants are as innocent of the charges Laid to their account aa the spy is innocent of lying ! Sometimes the defendant has the assistance ; of one of those worthy orators—• Who , right or wrong , will vindicate for gold . '

      But occasionally the defendant is too poor to Becure that assistance and therefore defends himself . This affords thejudge an opportunity not t » be tbrownaway , of refusing the victim a seat , pen and ink , or other matters , trifling in themselves , but Beoessary to enable the accused man , to make his owa defence . The defendant speaks or reads bis defence , and thshonist reporters for the publicjournals dieaiss it in a line aa a' Chartist harangue , filled with the usual stuff of such addresses / The'head of the bar / replies , the judge sums up with' his usual ability and impartiality / and the jury , after knocking their heads together as a matter of form , face the bench , and proclaim the prisoner' guilty . ' The doomed man is a Chartitti 'that is enough , * cry the Uwgtoit jury , — Away with him . away with him ! Crueity him , crucify him !'

      Then comes the sentence . This is a grand occasion for insulting the victim , and delivering another political speech . Sometimes the judge says to the prisoner . 'Ton are a young man with a very voluble tongue , and an empty bead , as moat mob oraton are . ' I will merely append the remark that ' empty heads , ' are not confined to ' mob waters . ' It is fortunate for some persons that a horse-hair wig ' cavers a multitude / of absurdities . Believe me , brother proletarians , ' trial by jury , ' will never be of valae to you until you reconquer your right of direct and universal representation in the Legislature . When you shalWiave won the acknowledgment of

      that right , and shall be able to exercise it in accordance with the system projected in the Charter , you will only have yourselves to blame if you do not make of'trial by jury / a verity . When working men shall be tried by their pesri , then and not till then , will the great principle of' trial by jury , ' be carried out , and be a safeguard of the liberties of your order , instead of being , as it is at present , an engine of oppression and cruelty . Brother Proletarians , both the wrongs yon suffer , and the eights most wickedly withheld from you , should stimulate yon to the performance of your duties .

      These duties at tha present moment are plain and imperative . 1 st . To show your active sympathy for your persecuted brethren and their families . 2 nd . To calmly but resolutely recommence your labours for the recovery of your political franchises , u embodied in the People ' s Charter . The victims are numerous and daily increasing . Is is melancholy to reflect on the too probable fate of too many bereaved families , nnltss an ample fund Is provided for their ] relief . But I have no hope of seeing such a fond established unless the machinery of a powerful Chartist organisation is called into exiitenw : With such machinery the collection of funds would to comparatively easy . Again , early in th » ensuing session an attempt should be made ia PasUament to procure , if posii-

      Untitled Article

      b ! e , a curtailment of the -sentences passed on—and an amelioration of the treatment of the incarcerated and expatriated victims . The maohinery of a national combination will be necessary to get up memorials , addresses , &o . Sympathy for the victims should , therefore , be of itself a sufficient incentive to cause you to rally round the New Executive , and the newly-organised Flan of Organisation . But , if you possess the hearts and souls of men , your own emancipation will be the prime motive ot yonr renewed exertions to carry the Charter . When the working men of other nations offer theii blood for holy liberty , surely re may give a few sweat drops . On the continent thousands have already laid down their lives , and tens of thousand *

      more are ready to walk in tbe f 09 tsteps of the martyrs , and shall wa , 0 ! my countrymen , shall we not make the small sacrifices whioh , if generally offered , would suffice to achieve our political redemption ? If we will not do the little required of ua to enable us to burst our chains , then , indeed , we shall well merit the pitiless tread of our masters , and that worse doom , the contempt and scorn of our brethren throughout the world . The Star , of Saturday last , contained an Address from the Chartist Executive , appealing to all who bold and ohensh the principles of Chartism for the means to commence the new year with a renewed campaign for the Charter . I earnestly traat that that appeal will be responded to . The offerinir re .

      qjired will enable the Exeoutive to take active measures for the propagation of Chartism without waiting for the slow returns provided for in the rules of the Aisociation . Indeed , if armed with the means of re-creating an agitation for the Charter , the ' slow returns ' may be immediately transformed into quiok returns . Armed with funds , the Executne will be enabled to send forth lecturers and agents , who will everywhere organise the friends of Democracy , and who in their turn will , as soon as orgaaised , supply the chiefs of the Association with the means of carrying on the straggle . Entertaining these views , I hold that every true Chartut ought-and I am persuaded that every true Chartist will subscribe to tbe national

      NEW YEAR'S GIFT , for the advancement of our holy cause . Let every Democrat give his mite . Let the Chartist councils and committees at onoe set about the good work of providing trustworthy agents to collect the subscriptions . Let the resolutisa be universal to devote Sunday , the last day of this memorable year , aad Monday , the first day of January , 1849 , to the collection of the patriotic offering for the Charter England etpecU that every man will do his duty . ' Bboihbb PaoLKTABUNs . I shall devote the remainder of this letter toacoaeluding noticesf the Memoin of Crtim Cawridiere , Last Saturday ' s Stab contained ( ia the Btview page ) an extract describing the unfortunate affair

      of the 15 th of May . It will be remembered that the accusatory resolutions adopted by the National Assembly against Citiaan Cadssidibbb . charged him with being concerned in the manifestation of that day . A oareful perusal of the exile ' s aooount of his conduct on that occasion has served but to confirm the previous conviotion I entertained of his perfect innocence of the charge fabricated by his enemies . No unprejudiced peraon can read the ex-Prefcot ' a frank and straightforward statements without com ing to the conclusion , that so far from participating openly or secretly in the asaulton the Assembly , he regarded that asiaultas most injurious to the cause of the true Republic—a matter to ba deplored by all honest democrats .

      On the evening of the 15 th of May , tho Prefeot of Polios was summoned before the Exeoative Commission . He attended , at the coat of great personal suffering , for he had been unable to walk fer many days previous , owing to aoontnsion of the right kree . He was told by Garhier Pages that the Assembly demanded his dismissal . Causudibbi defended himself , but added that he was quite ready to resign his office . He was answered , that the Exeoutive decided to retain his services as Prefect of Police . The members of the Commission appear to have acted a double-faced part . They made solemn proraises to CAuaaiDiERB ( in the presence of witnesses , ) guaranteeing the proper organisation of the Republican Guard ; and , trusting to thoie promise ] , he consented to retain his office of Prefect . The nexl day ' s Mohiibub , whioh should have exhibited the realisation of the pledges given by the Commuaion ,

      contained instead an order fer the disbanding of the Republican Guard , the Montagnards , &o ., scaompanied by a decree authorising the establishment of a totally different force . This act of double dealing was appropriately followed up by sending a hostile force of the Qarde Nationalt and Garde Molile , with two pieces of artillery , against the Prefecture , to dislodge the men whose only crime was that of being too thoroughly Republican to suit the taste ef the Commission , and the designB of the Anti-Republican majority in the Assembly . Sick of the faithlessness of the Commission , Caus * BmiBBB throw up his Prefeotship . His leave-taking with bis faifchfal guard was a sorrowful one . ' Thoy were , ' says he , ' not eoldiere that were leaving me , but brother ! , friendi , in whoaa company I had safely come out of mroy dangers . It was a cruel moment ! Macy of them Isaw for the last tine—they fell in the days of June . '

      Citizen Cabssidirrb ' s account of thereoaiptand disbursement of the public monies at the Prefecture , during his three monthB of offioe , will be read with unalloyed satisfaction by his friends , and cannot fail to command the ( it may be unwilling ) reBpect of even his enemies . A letter from Lamariine testifies to the honesty , ability , and energy displayed by Citizen Causjidierb during his three months of power as Prefeot ot Police . On resigning his Prefeotahip , Citizen Caussdherb also resigned his seat in the Assembly . At the June election he was re-elected at the head of the list , his name commanding 147 . 000 votes .

      t terrible combat of June , Citizan Catj 3 SQ > I 8 BB rightly names ' the insurrection of despair . ' I have repeatedly commented on that extraordinary insurrection , and I have alwayB defended the insurgents . I find nothing in Citizen Cacssidibbb ' s book to make me regret that defenoa , but muoh the reversj . Honour to the martyr-heroes of June ! Accused by Odillos Bakbot's Inquisition , and proscribed by the votes of the reactionary majority in the Assembly , Louis Blanc and Caumidibrs withdrew from Francs for a lime , and tcok refuge in this country . The exiled patriots took this step most unwillingly , but I think moat properly . Tbeir friends rightly argued that to remain in Paris would be to inorease the number of hostages already handed over to the reactionists .

      Citizen Cauj 3 idibbe oonoludei his Memoirs with an earnest and eloquent prayer for the speedy * realisation of tha Ddmooratio and Sooinl Republic ' Citizen Caussidikrb ' s Memoirs faithfully image their author . The book is a picture of the manfrank , hearty , and honest . Though no youth , Citizen Cadsiidiebe ia yet young enough to give promise of many jears' service in the ranks of Democracy . He very properly belongs to 'the Mountain , ' for in person he is a mountain of a man . His appearance is the personification of good faith , good humtmr , and kind-hearted-Bess ; and to him may be justly applied the worda of the rhymer : — 'If to his share aotns humaa errors fall , Look on hit face and you'll forgot tham all 1 '

      Since August last both Lotus Blanc and Caussidkbi have been sojourneri in this metropolis . They await the summons of their judges to return to their own country . On the day of trial they will face their accusers , and defend their acts and their principles . That they may triumph over their enemies is the ainoera wish of every English Demoorat .

      THE RATIONAL . MODE OF PEIU MANENTLY AND PEACEABLY ADJUSTING THE PRESENT DISORDERED STATE OF EUROPE . Second Sacnoii . Law 8 . 'Every one shall have ejjual and fall liberty to express the dictates of his conscience on religious and all other subjects . "

      REASONS FOR THIS LAW . Any thins short of this liberty is tyranny of the most demoralising character , and the fattier of falsehood . The law of God on this subject is , that man forms not his own opinions ; he is compelled to have them by the strongest conviction made on his mind , and his mind is created for him . No man has therefore any just right to say to another , " You shall not think yeur own thoughts , but mine . " This is contrary to nature ; and the laws of God declare that one man shall have ho more power over the thoughts of another than that which fair

      argument , expressed in the spirit of charity , based on the knowledge of the true formation of opinion , shall give him . Truth can never become the language of the world until this mental bondage of one man ' a thoughts to another shall be altogether abandoned . The language of the mind and heart is always a delightful language to humanity , and it is the only language of reason and rationality . Law 9 . " No one shall have any other power than fair argument to control the opinions and belief of another . "

      The reasons for this law are included in the preceding . 2 | Law 10 . " No praise or blame , no merit or demerit , no reward or punishment , shall be awarded for any opinions or belief . "

      REASONS FOR THI 8 LAW The laws of God declare that man cannot form , or , of himself , change his opinions or belief ; that they are therefore , in every case , created for him . ' It is most irrational , then , to attribute praise or blame , merit or demerit , or to reward or punish men for the opinions which , by their nature / they are compelled to have . And yet the ignorance of man o n this subject has produced , through the ages which

      have passed , more division of mindand feelings , and more violence and crime , than any other error of our inexperienced ancestors . It has destroyed all moral and mental charity , and made man far more irrational in his conduct to man , than any other animal to its own species . This error , also , must be entirely abandoned , before there can be any chance for the language of truth to be introduced among the human race .

      Law 11 . "But all , of every religion , shall have equal right to express their opinions respecting the Great Creating Power of the Universe , and to worshi p that Power under any form and in any manner agreeable to their consciences , not interfering with the equal rights of others who may deem all such worship useless or irrational . "

      REASONS FOR THIS LAW The existing religious impressions over the world have been the natural effects of the circumstances of latitude and longitude , acting upon the easily impressible young mind trained within their influence . The inhabitants of these districts have , through this process , with comparatively few exceptions , been made conscientious disciples of the religions taught in their respective localities . They could not avoid having these impressions made upon their minds , and they are blameless for them . It would be therefore cruel and unjust to prevent

      any of these persons from expressing their conscientious impresses , or from following their respective modes of worship , The laws of God declare that man has an eternal right to express his thoughts , and to act according to the nations of right which have be « n given to him ; therefore , openly to speak his belief , and act accordingly , and not to prevent any others from having the same liberty , however widely the thoughts and actions , if not inju * rious in practice , may differ from those which he has been compelled to receive . This knowledge of the true formation of opinions is the only foundation for universal charityand

      , kindness , and forbearance among men . No mere-precepts can create these godlike virtues ; they never have existed upon earth ; they never can be formed under the laws of man . It is useless to expect to see them in practice until those uncharitable and unkind laws sball be abandoned , and superseded by the all-merciful , benevolent , and wise laws of God—not until those laws shall become the laws of the world , and govern all the thoughts and actions of men . Then there will be true menta liberty , and pure charity , undefiled by the ignorant laws of our earl y inexperienced ancestors .

      Third Section . The Principles and Practices of the Rational Religion . Law 12 . "That all facts yet known to man , indicate that there is an external or internal cause of all existences , by the fact of their existence ; that this all-pervading cause of motion or change in the elements of the uni « verse , is that Incomprehensible Power which the nations of the world have called God , Jehovah , Lord , &c , &c ; but that the facts are yet unknown to man which can enable him to define what that Power is .

      REA 80 N 3 FOR THIS LAW . The irrationality , insanity , disunion , and miseries of human existence , have chiefly arisen from the most crude and wild notions of men respecting the active power of nature , of which they are at this day as ignorant as when they first-began to conjecture upon a subject so far , hitherto , beyond their capacity to discover . The priesthood of the world have led mankind so far astray on this subject , that they have misdirected and stultified the reasoning faculties of the human race , and filled their minds , at various periods , in different divisions of the earth , with all manner of absurd inconsistencies .

      They and their disciples have written and spoken of a Power to which they have , through a wild and disordered imagination , attributed their own feelings , thoughts , and conduct , although they have ever been most ignorant of every attribute of that Power , and hav never possessed the slightest knowledge of what it may be . To day—after the unnumbered ages which have passed—after the millions of works written upon the subject-after the innumerable sermons preachedjrespecting it—after the torments which have been insanely inflicted the

      upon conscientious , the sacrifice in religious wars of human life beyond estimate , and a senseless waste of the wealth of society to sup * port idle or ill-occupied inquisitors , bigots fanatics , and visionaries , to establish and extend one set of absurdities , in opposition to 2 * 1 1 uall y > or more or less absurd—all that the whole experience of the past has disclosed to man ' s capacity is , that some Power to continue nature in its onward progress , exists from necessity , but what that Power is no man has yet discovered , and all the sayings of the past on the subject are mere human sounds without meaning , and serve omy to expose the extent of man ' s irrationality .

      The discovery of this important truth indicates that the period approaches when Ithe tiuman intellects shall be relieved from this insanit y , and when wan shall be disabused of this stumbling block to his onward progress wik tlie attainmentof real knowledge , and mu enaMed to become a rational being . Thus will the Creating Principle of the universe , to which man can do no good , cease to be the cause of hatred , anger , disunion of mind , and uncharitable feelings among the human race . Thus will the obstruction be removed which prevents charity , and kindness , ! and j union being created , peace becoming universal , I and happiness everlastingly progressive ,

      The absurd mandate of Judge Perrin . with refer-K ^ n h . P ubll 0 ation u of the WB in hS by the Dublin papers , baa bean insisted noon and the "fff wthattbe Frebman ta effirtdiK SS Thai ? 08 yh r % rrrt SS * 22 » een . The following h from the Morniko Hebald , dj our own reporter' : — Theoourt eat at ton o ' olook on Monday , when Charles Gavan Duff , was arraigned . 7 m . ISST ? &ave > i 8 ment 8 S aiMt th « Planer on hm motion to quash the new indictment . _ Judge Perrin said , that thebrisnnfli . had taim

      oalled upon to plead to an indictment , found by the grand jury of tNi city , charging him with felony , in compassing to depose the Q-ieen , and levy war against her Wajeny under the statute of the last session . Hi iUrT ** i ? mmd ' thron « h his 08 onoi 1 ' «» t the indictment be quarted on the ground that ano . ther indictment was ponding charging the same of . fence , found by the grand jury for the county of Dublin , and preferred againatthe primer under the 65 hof Geo . IV ., ch . 51 . It was now contended that tne Urown were bound to abide by the first indictment bo found by the county grand jury , and could not try the prisoner under the indlotment found by the city grand jury , therefore the indictment ought to be quashed . It was plain the authorities

      upon that there was no legal objeotion to the Crown araiL ing itself of a bill of indictment found by the city ?™ ndiury while another indiotment was pending , but the Court were biund to proteot the prisoner from suffering , any disadvantages , or being tried a second time for the same offence . There were clear authontiei establishing that the mere fiot of the existence or pending of another indiotment for the same offence was not a sufficient greUHd for o&lling upon the Court to quash a freah indictment . It was so ruled in a case referred to in The Kinjrv . Stratton , ' cited by Mr Butt , the case of The King v . Well * , ' 3 d Burrofcs , and also in ht Blaoketow ' a Reporto . It was not illegal , as appeared by the authorities to which he had referred , before tha statute , to have a second bill

      foutd , aothat it seemed difficult to hold that where there wag no provision in the aofc they should imply the existence of a provision restraining the Crown fronr preparing a second bill in the place where the offence was committed , and where upon further consideration and reflection the first officer of the Crown might deem it fit and proper to proceed . No donbt the Court , at the same time , would take care to prevent any oppression , or any vexatious use or abuse of the proceeding ; but no authority was adduced to show that one of several indictments ( where more than one had been preferred , aa in the case of a arceny in a stage coach ) was either invalid or better than the other . Hewasef opinion that there was nothing in the statute prohibiting the Attorney General from sending up ft fresh bill of indictment in the county of the city , although a bill of indictment

      iad been found , or might ba fonnd . in tho county . He did not think that the Court oould imply a'provision the effect of which would be to deprive the Crown of the power of enforcing the due administration of jHstice by preferring a fit and proper bill if it were the opinion' of the responsible advisers of the Crown that that was the preferable oouwe to tafce . His Lordship then proceeded to show that tho indictment was only one-third the si »; of the previous indiotment , and neither the Court nor the council could object to the ind'etment upon the ground of its brevity . It appealed te the court that the applioation was one of first impressions , and as the prisoner would not be in any manner prejudiced by the trial , it felt it to be its duty to refuse the motion . Baron Riohards consurred in the judgment delivered by the senior judges .

      Mr Duffy here addressed Judge Perrin , and ob-Berved that it worid be a serious injury to him if lis lordship refuAjgKthdraw the order which he had made on SssWplamely , that the proceedings should not be published . Judge Perrin said that be could not hear the prisoner through counsel and for himself . Mr Butt , Q . C ., one of Mr Duffy ' s counsel , here addressed the Court . He said it was irregular for any one ta address his lordship upon the BHbject ; but he understood his client to be desirous that his lordship would not carry out his order prohibiting the publication of the trial till it had terminated . Judge Perrin . —Wo cannot comply with the request . The prisoner «* s then called upon to plead .

      Mr O'Hagan , one of his counsel , handed to the Clerk of the Crown a plea in abatement , on the ground that the prisoner could not be oalled upon te plead , inaamuoh as two of the grand jury by whom the bills had been found—namely , Walter Sweetman and Patriok Boylan—were not at the time inhabitants and freemen of tbe city of Dublin , The case was then adjourned from two o ' clock to five to give the counsel for the Crown an oppsrtunity of considering what answer they would give to the foregoing plea . At five o ' olook the law officers re

      turned into court , and were informed by their lordships that as they had taken up another case ( one in whioh a woman wbb charged with having poisoned a man namod Thomas NolaB ) , they should postpone the further hearing of the arguments in Duffy ' s case till the follo w ingmeming ( Tuefld » y ) Judge Perrin threw out that as the Court would protect the prisoner from being injured by the existence of another indiotmest , it was for the Crown to say whetttr a nolle prostgui Bhould not be entered upon la

      Dublin , Disc . 20 . —The argument of the plea in abatement proceeded yesterday morning , and will last daring the day . The Attorney General entered a demurrer , and contended that the common law or the statutes did sot disqualify jurors from having an ; freehold in the county for whioh they were em pannelled is the counties oi cities , and towns , nor need they necessarily be inhabitants , provided they resided therein , that is , transacted their business , or held tbeir places of business , in the county , in the body of which they were empannelled ; that at common law every loyal lubjeot was qualified who dwelt within the body of the county . Should thia question be decided as it is generally presumed it will , in favour of the prisoner , the effect will be

      strange and embarrassing to the crown . This is the third commission sinos Mr Duffy was first indicted , and under the Habeas Corpus Aot he ia entitled to be now put upon his trial , admitted to bail , or dig charged . As regards the geoond indictment yet subsisting , that found in the county , the crown sesme already to abandon it , and both grand juries having been discharged , no new indictment either in oily or county , can be preferred at thii commission . What oourse then remains to prevent Mr Duff ) ' s release on bail , unless , indeed , the powers of the Habeas Corpus Suspension Aot be invoked against him , and he shall be continued in prison under a warrant of the Privy Counqil ! Tta question of the demurrer wag argued yesterday

      by the Attorney lieneral ; and Mr John O'Hagan , with Mr Napier , Q , C , supported the plea . Mr Serjeant O'Brien replied upon ( he part oi the crown . At the conclusion of the argument the court intimated that the question to be decided was too grave , and the authorities quoted on both sides were of such numbers and importance , that they oould not be considered and judgment upon them prepared ta . morrow ^ The court , therefore , will not give judgment to-day , or probably to-morrow . It is likely that the judgment will not be delivered until Saturday , After their lordships had deolared their resolve to ponder on tho question , Mr JuBtice Perrin adverted to the order prohibiting publication of the proceedings . His lordahip said that Bome very foolish strietures upon tbe order promulgated by the court had been brought under his notloe . He advised these parties to beware . W hat the court had directed was

      within its jurisdiction , and it was determined that its legal obligation should ba enforced . He cautioned those parties how they disobeyed the order . Baron Richards expressed his conourrenoa in the determination of his learned brother , and in the propriety of ths order , and referred to precedents , amongst others those afforded by Lord Ellenborough and Mr Justice Holroyd . Mr Duff / then addressed the court , and said that he would show that the prohibition of publication was the cause of substantial injustice towards him . Mr Justice Perrin said the order was made as well for the protection of the prisoner aa the crown , and it would equa ly proteot bath . If , however , the prisoner had anything to urge against the order , let him instruot his counsel to put it forward , and the court would give it due weight , otherwise they oould not hear anything against the order , THE HTSIKIHATIHa STaTSH .
