SOME OBSERVATIONS ON MAGNA CIL4RTA. There has never been a collection of laws n t which more interest has been excited and continued than Mag na Charts. For six or seven hundred years it would seem that there had been no period when popular feeling was roused — when the privileges of Englishmen were in the smallest degree railed in question—in which this most important document has net been proudly referred to as the bond and safeguard of English freedom. This recognition, or confirmation of liberties, we all know was signed by King John, in conseque;:..e of the remonstran ces and resistance lot the Barons to his usurpations, and his making Erglanil, emit were, a papal pros-owe. It may t-e of use to observe here, that had the Barons of the kingdom been more or less powerful than they were, it is probable that Magna Charts would never have existed. Had they been more powerful, they might have been able to stand out against the tyrant without seeking any connexion with the people ; had they been less so, the people themselves Haight not have hail force enough to obtain from the King any promise, mill less any charter in their favour. Either way we shouts' have been much more likely to have had a despotic liovernment, which would perhaps have made us at this day subservient to some continental power. Bat though the people were not of equal importance with the Barons, it is plain that they were just behind, avid that the Barons themselves feared and wished to conciliate them. It is evident the Barone had assembled to compel the King to grant that. certain privileges, hat they found they timid - not carry the people with them, without some concessions for the interest of the community. ' Magna Charts receives a formal confirmation in the ninth year of Henry 111., as well as in the reign of Ed ward i. Indeed it stands upon the statute hook of the realm as a law or collection of laws, hearing the former date. But it was not made at any of those periods ; in deed the greatest lawyers in this kingdom &safes' that it is net original, but chicly a confirmation of the continuo or unwritten law. Sir H. C•ke, speaking of the advice which Hubert tie Bergh is said to have given for the can cellieg of this charter, says. " it was too* end to cancel its provisions; when they were. for the meet part, hot d r . o l ar stories of the rimiest ereversee laws of England, to the observation and beepier whereof the King was bound std swona." Magna Charts was semospossiell be a char ter respeceieg the forests, which was fur the benefit of the Barons. To show how much the liberty of the sub hect WAS regarded in these times (and it will be seen ereafter, Obeli we come to discuss its articles, that Mag na Chute MAW m at valuable manual of the liberties of the sabject)„ we mar mention some acts of Parliament that were made for its being observed and remembered, Thetith Edward I. chapter 2. says, " And we will that if any judgweat be given from henceforth, contrary to the points of the charter aforesaid, by the justices, or by any of our ministets that hold plea before them, against the point% of the charters, it radii Ile redone mad Aoldtm for nought." The very stet act of Parliament is the book commands that the said charters shall be read in the ca thedral churches twice in the year; the next, that ex coruniunication shall be pronounced against the breakers of the said charters, and an act of Edward 111. distincil) states," At the Parliament of our Lord the King, holden at Westminster, the best day of May, the two and forti eth year of his trim it is &emoted and accorded that the great charter and t saner of the forest, be holden and kept i s an points, mod dug ettitste be made So the coil every, thoi-glail be far *wee." Naylor theommels et the olateiaing-of this charter, and of asses in which it was held, we shall raved to r the articles it contains on the liberties of the It coinsoeneeetth rt ; firmness of manner that allows equally that it wm executed for no common purpose, and that it was to for posterity:— " First we have granted to God, and by this nor pre sent charter, have confirmed for us and for our heirs for ever, that the (hutch of England shell be free, and shall have her a hole tights and liberties inviolable. Ws WITS OSANTRD 11.att •ND GIISX TO ALL TM& PRIM MIN OF OUR RCAIJJ, FOR US AND OUR sties FOR STIR, TOUR LINRITIRS UNIMIRWSITTIN, TO NAV& ANY TO MOLD TO TORII 1100 TO TI IS MRS, or US AND oca name roe tem.' The next grant point of the charter is one which ought to be written se letters of gold : " rasa MIN SHALL SR TAKEN OR asealsonan, OR OR oissatseitoor MIS FRIRROLD, OR LIIIRRTIRS, OR PRIM CUSTOMS, 00 OR OUTLAWRY OS RIMED, OR ANT °THROW'S, Miatlinvia, NOR WI WILL NOT PASS UPON Will, NOR COMMOIN RIM, OUT IT LAITIPVL JIMMINSPIT OF MIS ream, eic ST LAW Of TER LAND. WS WILL alma TO NO MA/St WI WILL NOT DENT OR DRIRR TO ANT MAN, MIMS 001101 ca oa aitiaT." Besides these, Alvin Charts contains, on general li berty, as article against the payment of any thing for inquisition of lifs/ or member, one for the regular holding of courts, one to prevent officers of the crown front taking horses, mots, and wood, without the consent of the owner; owler the succeeding of a man's heirs to his property, if be die intestate, and for the falfilmeot of his will, if he make one • and a provision that a free man shall be amerced (ha), saving to him his content.- ment —a merchaut, saving to him his merchandise; and a villain (or rustic), saving his wainage, e. his carts, ploughs, and itopkments of husbandry. The last, in reality, is intended to establish, as a constitutional principle, that so man shell be fined to his otter ruin. There are some other minor provisions which will come to be compidered while we are discussing other sa is pereitmlar, for the protection of irtnett wTlhiH tisamima-along wish the alien laws. There is a principle, without which we reckon the English Constitution as nothing but a name, and to which oar ancestors adhered with even greater attach ment than to their laws. That principle is recognized in the Act of Parliament we have quoted, that say sta tute onsets ~teary to Magna Charts shall le Aolleafor acme. We know it is a common doctrine with the un thinking or the willingly corrupt of the present day, that when an Act is passed in the House of Commons, it is paramount to all others, though they were thought more consonant with propriety. With them, in the words of George Alexander St , in his Lecture on Heads, "lent is law ;" and with them, of course, all the Acts of which men have complained, the Septennial Act, the Suspensioa Act, and every other Parliamentary, or rather Ministerial, measure are to be considered valid sad peremptory; the last, the most corostiirrione/ and the best. This arises from the folly of confounding law and constitution. They conceive the constitution to be whatever is constituted, whereas it is what ought to constitute; it is not the action, hut the motive ; tint the deed, but the regulating spirit. We should have hut a sorry Constitution if it were to be cot and squares according to the fancy of every State declaimer or Mi nisterial designer ; if it were to give way to the inroads of every silly mania for legislation, without any standard or beacon whereby men might know how to avert or remedy the encroachments of ignorance or time. When we talk of &constitutional spirit, we do not mean a spirit which should direct and pervade the laws of England only, bet one which must exist in every country whilst it possesses liberty. This spirit is wind we rail the Constitution, and Magna Charts is merely a recognition of its influence. The best part of that glorious charter. '• no free loan," Ike. is only a more particular way of saying, "all men shall be tree." It is not so much a law itself, as a rule for laws. " No free mos shall be taken," &c. In examining the peruse this portion of the charter it would be useful to onowelletiocily whether it was intended that " or by the Iww of the hind," was a mere explanatory claus e for " lawful judgment of his peers." Certain it is, however, that own are both taken and imprisoned without any judgment of their peers. If a man he apprehended for felony, sir for a crime of any kind, he is esamineil be fore a magistrate, sent, if the examination be not satis factory to him who took it, to a place generally worse than a gaol, which is called being remanded, and when a magistrate or two are are agreed in his guilt, he is transmitted for some months, perhaps, to lie in prison, li n many instances; in fetters, and then discharged, it' ac quitted when kr comes before his countrymen, without recompense for his pains, or remuneration for his losses. I W e are afraid there are many evils here which were not contemplated at the time when Magna ('harts was agreed upon. We are convinced at any rate, that there are things in the mode of committal and imprisonment before trial, and while yet deemed innocent, in this country, which require the most careful investigation. " We will sell to no man," &c. Upon this VP? scarcely know bow to observe, considering how barfacedly jet tice is sold in our most civilised and honourable age. Sir Edward Coke says on this—" an.l therefore every subject of this realm for injury done him in goods, lands, or person, by any other subject, be he or she ecclesiasti cal or temporal, free or bond, man or woman, old or rang, or ho bo outlawed, excommunicated, or any other without exception, may take his remedy by the course of the law, and have justice and right for the in jury done to him, freely wit hout sale, folly without any denial, and speedily without delay." This is one proof oat of the heap, which the uncompromising integrity of our forrfatbers have left us, that English justice ivas na- PRICE 7°• coolly not the fee-taking barristerial personage we be hold her. The law is a profession, which menu ratb-r to have grown out of the ignorance of a people, than the public spirit or application of its professors, sad there• fore, when a asan conies forward to plead his own cause. he ought rather to be !oohed upon as one reclaiming a right almost forgotten, than as intruding on th e offir e of another. There are a few honest men at the bar, and amongst the attorney~ of this country, bit when a lawyer's business Is to get money rather than to advance the cause 91 right and truth, whatever he may eves*, pecuniary matters must generally take the les.l so his calculations. We may may ask sow, will any mat say that_justiee is not sold, or that it was moat ld, to be mid by Magna Charts? " We will sot deny nor defer," ate.—" These words," says Sir Edward Luke, " have been excellently expound ed. by latter Arts of Parliament, that by no means root• won right or common law should be disturbed or d.- !eyed, no, though it he commanded under the great seal nr privy seal, order, writ, letters, message, or com mandment whatsoever, either from the king, or any other, and that the justices shall proceed as if no sects writs, letters, order, menage, or other osilatiaaduriat were come to them." On what a noble essieemos is here set the ,udges of England ? They are empowered to art in spite of orders frets (dicers, considered otherwise far above them, in contravention of orders, writs, mes sages, kr.; which may have originated in the king himself. MEETING or rms FRIENDS or Aro. BROUGHAM. A highly respectable Meeting of the friends of Mr. Brougham was beW at the City of London Tavern, ids Saturday evening, for the purpose of securing the ratans of that Gentleman for the county of Westmorland. At seven o'clock Mr. Broagham, attended by several of his Committee, entered the room, and was received with the warmest applause. On the Motion of Mr. Lowe, T. Harrison, Esq. (Se cretary to She-Royal Institution, and also of the African Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade) was acs niniously voted to the Chair. The Worthy 11.'eataraso commenced by observing., that it would ill become him to occupy the attention Of the Meeting fur any length of time at that late hour of the evening. In consequence of the lamented death of their late Sovereigs, the electors of Westmorland were again restored to the exercise of their privilege of send lag Representatives to Parliament. They were enabled *ace more to assert their rights as Englishmen. The Meeting were aware of the object of their being thus , assembled, and he thought they need not doubt of sites cess.--(Applause.)--Wheu they recollected that so less than 10011 votes were given at the last Election in favour of Mr. Brougham, they had a right to expect the most Nattering result from the present contest ; they. ha I strong reason is hope that the domination of the Low. Hier family in the county of Westmorland was nearly at an toil for ever.—(Hear, hear !)—Was it to he endnra I that the present Lord Lieutenant should again return two sons for that county as he had done before?—(llu, no.)—lt was true that the late Lord had retinued tea relatives, bit not his sons. At the last election too, pietist was gives by Lord Lonsdals, that if any two gentlemen, acting epos the prlnciptea Ohre Willy. - would come forward, one of his sons should be with drawn; but this promise was of no avail, as the fact was, that the family were unable to find any 'endears.' in the county to come forward on such terms. He fully hoped and believed that the time was at length come when their beloved county would be rescued from the thraldom in which it bad been to long held ; as 14 was convinced that the worthy Oestleusan, whose cane they advocated, would meet the support of every ludo pendent elector in the county.—(Loud applause.) Mr. Lows said, that though he had not the honour of being a native of Westmorland, he hoped he might tie allowed to express his hope of the heal success of cause, in which net only the electors of that county hot every Eriglishinan was interested.—(Applause.)—lie cuogratulatel the Meeting on the arrival of the tit's'. which gave every Englishman an opportunity of assert ing his rights, lie concluded by moving the first it-- solution. It was expressive of the impropriety of al• lowing the county to be continually monopolised uy the Lowther family. It was seconded, and carried una nimously. Mr. graaLs said, that the Chairman had already es. pressed the feelings which be entertained relative to the approaching contest. There was a gentleman in the room who could vouch the fact of Lord lonadale having offered to withdraw one of his sons, provided some gen tleman of similar political opinions came forward. Mr. Ilszle (we believe) had been invited to come forward, lost he declined going into Parliament ander the eaves of the Lowther fancily. It appeared that the represeu tation of the county was not, according to Lord Loris. dale, to be entrusted to any other person, bat his soils, or men cat similar political principles. The apiworiching eiection would, he had no doubt, convince his Lordship to the contrary.—(Applause.}—He concluded by movino the second Besolutiok. It expressed the surprise and regret of the Meeting, seeing that, notwithstanding the promise of Lord Lansdale to withdraw one of his sons, they were again put forward. This Resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. 501.117, in risiag to above the third Reeolutiuo, entered into the exertions made by Mr. Brougham, ii, the cause of public liberty. He had act the honour cat being so intimately acquainted with that geotletaari as he could wish, but lie recollected having once had a conversation viith him, in which he (.Jr. B.) showed a greater knowledge of the theory of commerce than any other man he bad ever inet.—(Applause.)—On than one occasion lead Mr. Brougham, in his place iu Parliament, pointed out the impolicy of our commercial regulations, and the necessity of Merritt* them. P*o shy earl so clearly bad hr done this, that even Minion rs themselves felt convinced of the trail, of his argon's co s. But preposterous as it might appear, the remedies whkti he propouni, though admitted to he necessary, were re jected because they Caine from the Opposition side of the House.—(Hear, hear!)—ln a commercial country like this, and where the success of our agriculture was so intimately connected with the prosperity of our trade, it was iudispresibly necessary, that men acquainted with and desirous to advance both interests, shunld Le returned to Parliament.—(ll,4l)—With this vier" it was. as well from the high character and great acquit.. - reale sad talents of Mr. Bromehaus, that he should rise his salmis and hearty support ro that geatlensan.--(.lp plause.)--He mowledod by moving the third Resolution. It expressed the theorise of the Meeting to -Mr. Brougham. for his able mid patriotic eendeet in Parliament, as well as in thus disiatereseedly stameing forward as the cham pion of the indepossileme of his satire casette. This Resolution was carried with loud aid repeated applause. Mr. BROVGIBAX addressed the Meeting amidst ifti t 4. T,, 44. a. J pri • I
