but twelve men indifferently taken, who would have a naturalleaoing in favour of liberty, he had. if in nocent, no reason to tear for the event. He had never heard m• re monstrous doctrines than those which, during the late trials, had been attempted to be turned by the lawyers Against the libtolty of the subject. None of these, however, was more glaring titan the construct on put upon Ur. Fox's Libel Act, which prote-sedly supported the liberty of the press. .-The Learned Judges attempted a constractiou v. cti was in direct opposition to the object for Which ' Jii it was framed; for according to them, the Judge oo the Bench tad a right to act as Foreman of theJury,' and deliver his ,iwn verdict first.-(Beer, hear);-, and this with all due theatrical soleatnity—the hand 'upon the heart -at least the hind where the heart should be, and under the pompous solemnity of an oath of office; did this too, with all the agerevations and exaggerations of the importance of the ease at issue—before the Jury opened their mouths, or even bad an opportunity of tormicg their own conscien tious opinion upon the subject. Now this. could not be the true construction of Mr. Fox's Act ; for it it were, the King's subjects were in a worse situation than they were before the passing of the Act. • It :was said that the Judge should give his opinion to the Jury ei in other cases. Now, if that were so, he would ask, whether the Judge ever did give his opi. Dion in this manner in any other case (4plahnue) I Di 4 he not give his opinion with caution and dia. dance, begging the Jury to attend to the evidence, sad to lean to the innocence of the accused t But Mi. Hone and an honest Jury had put the right con struction upon the Act, and they happened to put a very different constrtntion upon it, from that of the Learned Judge. They could not be remand out of their own plain unsophisticated opinion, and con - forming to ihe genuine principles of the Law of Eng. land. as well as of' common sense, they could not 'find a man guilty, who had no intention to commit offence. The intention was the graveness of the 'charge, and unless the intention was corrupt. there - could be no guilt. The fact, however. was. that be never knew a lawyer able to form a common-seise idol upon the subject of the law of libel. Unfortu nately there was no settled aria defined law upon the subject ; and. indeed, so. uncertain was the law of .libel; that a man could hardly be able to tell, in nine iostanees out of ten, when he hid or had not written ',libel. Nay. it might happen, a man who set out with an avowed intention of writing a libel, might ifaileolliis object, though be meant to break the law. There wale cases in worth a man would be justifiable in writing a libel ; for instance, where the eject wait torawuke his countrymen to a sense of some dange rous inroads upon their liberty. Such might =fairly be called an &must libel; but whether it might be veiled se or not, there was no certain rule of law ap. plicoble to offences of this description. All other of in the criminal code of the country had some technical name by whicli they were respectively &sewn and defined.

Hone had been acquitted ; but it was not to be therefore supposed that he had incurred no danger. His head had been in the lion's mouth, though he happened to get it out again. Since he bad ran such risks, from no fault of his own—since be had borne himself so nobly through his difficulties, it was the duty Of his country to put him in such a situation, that be should not look back It his conduct with re. fret.

This indeed had always !seen, as it ever should continue to be, his rule of ac tan, while he had the power to write; and he trusted the public would ever be found ready to stand by the advocates of this glorious privilege. But the doctrine 'of the Crown Lawyers upon'the subject of libel was full of absurdity. A thing was said to be a libel bcp , cause it had a tendency to a breach of the peace.. The whole was, in fact, founded upon a fiction. He ' I therefore agreed with the Honourable Baronet's COV 1 demnation of 'that which the Crown Lawyers pro. flounced to be law upon the subject. There wasans deed, only one sentiment in the Honourable Baronet's speech from which he differed. The Honourable Baronet had &sal, that he did not know a angle lawyer who had ever formed a common sense nodal upon the question of libel. Although it gave him pain to dissent from one whom he so much respected, he must in truth and justice declare his opinion, that there was a lawyer who had come to a correct con. cluaion upon that subject, and that was the real la ther of the. Libel Act. To this opinion, indeed, he thought the Honourable Baronet himself would be come a. convert, when reminded of -the extraordinary exertions of that distinguished advocate to defend the Liberty of the Press, especially in a case in which be himself (Mr. Perry) was de defendant—he meant Lord Erskine. Yes, this esisinent advocate had spirit and talent to grapple with the first Judges elf the day, at a very early stage of his professional busi ness, when he bad every thing to dread from their frowns, and every thing to hope from his own sub serviency. Were he then to omit this testimony to the merits of that highly meritorious nobleman, hit should consider himself ungrateful, not only for the services which his Lordship had rendered-to him per sonally, but for the important benefits conferred upon the Liberty of the Press and the general interests of freedom, by that steady advockate of the people's rights. —Here Mr. Pam begged have to advert to-a topic, which although not immediately connected with dot business of the day, was of such a nature, that be could have'oo doubt of the disposition of the meeting to concur in his views. He therefore took occasion to suggest the expediency before they separated of taking some steps to have another meeting. He conceived it of the highest importance that they should have an oppnr. Unity to express their feelings on the great cause of all those prosecutions. He wished that an expres dion of public feeling should go forth, and that a Meeting of the Freeholders of the County of Middle. au should be called for the purpose of making a de A r claration against the suspension of the Habeas Can pus Act, as:well as against that abominable Circular which had been issued by the Minister of the Home Department ; by which he had prohibited the circu-, taloa of what he was pleased to call blasphemous lii bulb. and tenfrowered the Magistracy to and to pri 0n 01 .° 00 . 1 7 whose they, Were circulated.. The thrie blasphemous libels thus denoonced, bad sines been found no libel by three holiest, intelligent Juries, after dine successive trials, upon three successive days, in Ow conduct of which it was sought to conquer Mr. Hoofs physically, as it was fogad impossible to con s"; him mentally. Was the judgment then of the 'Home Secretary with whom these prosecutions on. sated, to be entrusted with such extraordinary as his !ma showed a disposition to usurp ? 7 o such power should, indeed, belong t o any m an . , r wqr But to return to the Suspension of the Habeas Cor pas Act: The whole foundation of that measure was a mete fallacy, and under such circumstances, were they, with their eye' open, to allow that measure to algae of halt la—(Cries of No, No.) Would they not rags', liy.a et -fie espeessioo of public feeling, call fes—rihe imisediate repeal of this odisius measure? ha shield the people appear to acquiesce in the onisawei at this measure, thaw was no security in the dignities of Ministers that the most dant/roes Os ld slight not be acted upon — that the Suspeision ofdse Habeas Corpus might not hereafter be b roug h t ' evrard and renewed with as little ceremony lathe annual Mutiny Bill, or any common Shippin g Bill. HE advised tbm that, for the purpose he had de scribed, a requisition should be seat to the Sheriff of Middlesex. and he +wished that it shooldbe known to emanate, age that room.

With respect to the remark of Perry, respecting the opinion of a certain gr e lawyer on the subject of libel, he did not think th was any disagreement between them on this point. Lord Erskine, when at the bar, did certainly bear most nobly against the oppressive doctrines ofludg but he never did define what a libel was ;.... 40 ,f Gentleman who was in the habit of writing like MI Perry, did not now know any lawyer whom b could go andconsolt:as to what was libel or wits was not ; and it he did consult lawyers, they vmuli give different I.pinions, according to their ptivat views. In short, no one ever could define what libel was ; and, for himself, he baieved all h ever wrote might, by some lawyers, be called libeh He had now to draw the no.ice ut the Meeting to th conduct of a Gentleman to whom Mr. Hone was em ' newly indebted for getting out of his danger. He Meant Mr. Pearstro, who, along with Mr. Wuoler, was thi first to attack the abominable system of striking Spe cial Juries. And not only Mr. Hone, but the publit at large, were indebted to that Gentleman for having so bravely placed himself in the gap, and endea voured to break down that practice. He sineerell believed that the reform which had been operated b: Mr. Pearson in that list of Jurymen was the grates practical good which had been achieved by any ma within his remembrance— (apftkinte)—for his tier lions, and the intellect and courage which direct . them, the warmest thanks were due to Mr. Pearson lb then moved : " That the Timis of this Meeting are hereby cordially giv to Mr. Charles Pearson, for his manly and successful struggle oweseting the konopt system of packing Julies, which has • tributed so essentially towards the present triumph ; and • daily for the gratuitous advice and assistance given to Mr throughout the whole of the peusocutions, affording a rare amts pie to his profession of zeal, hathipeniknce, and disinteresieduess. Lord COCHRANE said, he rejoiced sincerely at wit nesting the strong and unanimous feeling which ha. called together, and had been testified by, so nume rous a Meeting. It was a proud triumph gained f• the cause of public liberty over the system of m trials and packed Juries, which had been so long th bane and disgrace of the country. He spoke feel iogly on this subject (appraise.) But the case o s was much worse, for many were convicted an. punished with death, on the evidence of the m; abandoned characters; men were convicted by packed Juries, and on the evidence of suborned and false witnesses. His Lordship afterwards adverted to the sentence that had been passed on him upon a cosy' lion for breaking out of prison. A fine of ill to bad been thus imposed on him ; but sooner than have paid that fine, he would'have remained and rotted in prison; his constituents paid it for him, and relieved him from his most painful situation...- That money he wished now to return—(Lsed ap• plesiu)—and with feelings of heartfelt thankfulness ta Mr. Hone for his manly and able exertions in defence of the liberties of the people, he would now .lay down the one hundred pounds which he then held in his hand, in addition to the soma already subscribed for him.—( His Lordship here presented a £lOO Bankosote amidst hied shouts of applause).—He had wished to hive paid back this sum (fdr he considered Y that he was paying it for the benefit of the people of England), in the old coin of the realm ; he could sot. however, get it at the Bank. He might nave . got Regents or Sovereigns, but they had little to do with such a subscription as this t ic largh and applawt). He never in his life did any thing with greater plea. sure than is lasing down this money in the cause of the. Liberty of the Press, and of an oppressed man— (fated applaue).—He concluded by seconding the motion, which was carried. Mr. PEARSON spoke to the following effect :—I rise under the . greatest embarrassment to acknc;Wledge the obligations I am under for your kindness, and the gratitude I wish to express for the feelings which have dictated the lase Resolution. If my thanks are cot expressed in that set phrase of speech which is cisstoniary on these occasions, attribute it to the fact that this is the fist time I have been ever placed is such a situation, not that I ass insusceptible to the feelings of gratitude, not that my heart hag never been strung to its melodious strain, but it has trees 110leltallowed silence -and private friendship had i~iltHed its notes. Never have I swept the strings amidst the sounds of battle, or at the song of victor: . ; And I cannot but attribute the present exhibiticn feeling to that spirit which welcomes a recruit into flibevaaks of the people, and which is ready, in the true' spirit of Ice:Throaty, to par the tell br,uuty at starting. If this be the case, recollect, Gentlemen, that, although always an admirer of the cause, I am brought before the public, and as bringers Are liberally paid,. I hope that you will not, in your sub; scription, forget Mr. Hone, who is my bringer—the assistance which I have given hint has been certainly afforded With sincerity, and I trust upon principle.-- I foetid himo stranger, unprotected and triendirc, the object of oppression, the victim of power. thought' it my duty to assist him, and more particu larly to give him the opportunity of an imnourahle appeal to a Jury of his country, unbiassed, timn tittericed; and impartially selected.
