There, Were seven other eouots in the indictment, which charged the Defendant sith WWII similarly coo. ducted himself in seven several instances. At hair pin nine o'clock Mr. Jostles Abbot took his seat upon the bench, and shortly afterwards the Jury were impabelled sod swore. . Mr. Scantarre, in opening the case .to the Jury, bogged that VS any of theta that stem then on the Ise, should ha►e served on Saturday, that they would forget what had passed on that day. •The charge, be observed, was one of a most salon nature, and booditici►et know of an, one, under the shape of a• 'mhdemranoor, more serious. Mi. Toronto he (Merited, that he , understood that-fins et thelury, who served on Saturday, were in the boijr-ent that he mentioned the eirMamstance as a matter of objection. Mr. JOllOl ABBOT.—The present charge is as W.. ferent acipossible from that of Saturday. Mr. SeleuLarr said, he was passive on the subject: Mr. H4CUARDSO2I stbeerved, that they did not etij , •to any fifths Gentlemen. mean to ► /act to any ___ Mr. Jilstice ABBOT stated, that if any objection to aeon was to be received, it ought td'have been made. befortetbe Jury sere sworn; but they haring been wiled and sworn, the trial must go on : the question we perfectly distinct from the one tried on Saturday : ibis relates to his conduct as a Magistrate. Mr. Merceron, who had taken his seat on the goer, said that - he had not the slightest objection to any of the/o'l,oBmeg , who composed the Jury. 'The trial was then . pioceeded Mr. SCARLET; after tome very impressive anti' eloquent remarks on the superior advantages which the People of this country, as compared with every other part of the world, possessed in the adminietra,- lion of justice, from the highest officers down.to those of-the most humble character ;.aod, after haw. ing particularly described the important duties, as well as the high trust and confidence which were re posed. in the Megistrates, proceeded , to. 1141(P, that the charge agsiost the pretreat D.fetirlatit, who had held the office of a Magistrate, was that of having cam-op - 11y abused the functions of Iris sacred situation. lie then went on to observe, that among other duties devolving upon the Defendant, was dot of granting licences to public.loesses. • The Learned. Gentlemen observed, that amongst the machinery of a well-conducted Government, was that of a Magisteste, who received no pay from Go- ! vernment, bot..who was entrusted to act upon his own feelings of integrity and honour, but who was called upon by theGovernmentand the People to die. charge his duty conscientiously, and thereby he would obtain the applause of these aroused him. It was the peculiar province of a Magistrate se situated, to take cave that the Public were not led intosilarea by the ap poi tit meat of improper persons to keep public-houses, and thereby render, them, instead of receptacles for re freshment and accommodation, schools of.indecency, immorality, aud every vicious propensity. The Learned Gentleman -warned the Jury not to find the Defendant guilty, unless the case should he. made nut by, the most conclusive evidentlo. The Defending had, foe many years, been a Magistrate for ttse County of. Middlesex,• aid it was not its one solitary in etunce that he had violated his duty as a Magistrate, bu.t in several instances in the years 1815 and 1816, even after he. had received the fullest infor mation that the houses were kept by highly impro per spersoas ; amongst these -were the following : The Seven Stars, kept by T. Wright ; the King's Ames, the Queen's Read,.the Turk and Slave, the Adam and Eve, the Rem and Magpie, every one of which, it would appear; 'bad been kept by persons who allowed Rambling, and almost every other sort of excess. In the year 1815, the conduct of the persons wilts. kept those houses became so uot orioue, that the constable thought lit to make a list of them, and lay it before the Magistrates at the Quarter Ses sions; no twithstanding which, however, they were all re _licensed. Some of them were the property of Alr..Merzeron. and of others he received the rents. - 'lnsider The Learned Counsel entered at cot. cable length into the, circumstances of the , case, anciconclutled by observing, that corrupt motives were attributable to < . the peferidant, for no man would act corruptly fin less he had a mative far so doing.
