PP P u ,i,:ht be Rites to show that considerable advantages ,i, ; ht o ccasionally be derived, both by prosecutors sell defendants. from the progressive publics ion of a t ,; . .! Many person., for inst ince, whose ac,;uaint =tee with the subject is nut even suipe,:ted, mud who Lre. therefore, received no ikub;ierna as witnesses, o ar perceive, by what they read in tit, newspapers, bat they alone can enable the Judge and Jury to as -:air. the real merits of a ease. and may be induced, by ► sense of Justice, Ls come forward of their era accord, molts, proffer their testinson. We know this to base occurred sown years since in an introit:tut tr:al, in %Lich the evidence thus adduced mainly con tributed to satisfy the minds of the Jury, and to pro &Le the acquittal of an individual, whose life would r hai.s have otherwise b:en unjustly, though eon soientii.usly, sacrificed. On the other !avid, it might happen that such Sc% idental evidence would serve to convict a criminal who might otherwke Isa,e been pr-nounted innocent. To individuals, therefore, the a jr•ntages and disadvantages of a progressive publi cation seem equally balanced : but, towards the at tainment of justice in general, the advan•age would ap- - pesr most decided and manifest, if it were not attended wit!.sneh inconveniences, as the l ossibihty of warping the minds of the Jury in cam the newspapers should be to teach tl:ess, or of creating a belief that they hare !urn warred. It is this consideration no doubt which has induced the Judge to issue Isis prohibition: and it is certainly of a sufficient weight to justify the ms,nsentary cbeek imposed on public curiosity. itntlr an.l shaken are the foundations of all ()o. crromentq ti, rtst not on the Ws:Lev:Able bask of the feet! c!/ the Pe.ple ; and it ie of the emenee of all just • Governments that the People should participate in the nizhing of those Laws which affect their own litre teal properties.
