Admitting perspitaity and brevity to be the cri- Orion of good 'judgment, oar ancient legislate» far exceeded those of our day, which I think.may ao amply verified by a review of Magna Charle t that glorious synopsis of English liberty ;—si insigne, II virgin code, that stands aloof from every Weer datute, and forbids their approach. I mast beg ram to quote a part of the 29th chap. although recent events have contributed so much to its putui. qty, that most of your Readers, it is presumed, already know it by heart :+" That no freeman 66 Shall be taken, or imprisoned; nor be disseised 66 of his freehold, or liberties, or free customs, 66 or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wall " destroyed; nor shall we pass upotrhios, or eon- " dean him, but by the LAWFUL JUDGMENT Or, 41 . rep PE EDS, irC." Here let those Peers (every British freeholder), from the duke to the peasant, who are liable to become Members of a Jury : pause ; to reflect what a solemn, what a sacred duty thciS' words assign him—a - duty which involves Ufe, free. doin, pro petty, - domestic safety, all that is dear on earth, in its administration ; and I hope, with the I aid of THE STATESMAN, and the. authorities of Hoax; FURTESCUE, lATTLETON, CORE, BAKER, VAUGHAN, HALE, HAwLEc, and others equally irrefragable, to be of service to thosewho may bo required to perform this holy übligatiou, in restoring the crippled limbs of our cruelly-maimed freedom, I and killing the subtle poison that would sap the main artery of our Constitution. The origin of this admirable establishment is memorial ; the best historians cannot date it; the most ancient monuments attest its use amongst thu aboriginal Britons, whose grand legacy has come to us as an hereditary right, redeemed, time after time, from annihilation ; reviving, newly consecrated by honourable Mood ; intact! by numberless Acts of Parliament and by - etitsstatit usage, which is oar common law,' and the itiviolable'sanctity of which, I& one of the 'principal conditions ist the tC'nuri 'of the Catesin England. that *nuances will. I ' wince yourselves of the magnitude of the trust—to cunsi4•how deeply your sworn pledge " to tell , 4 , 4 ,aud truly try" will affect the peace and secu eftg of your 4/wit souls—to remember the stake, 4ife, -liberty, or estate, that will be.committed to i ps*Stiecisiou ;--aail Uttar you will. bring your.

' - When you have thus prepared yourselves, and , the indictment, information, &c. is to be read, if it ro be inarticulately or hastily rattled, over, require it tp he read again slowly and distinctly ; observe ; rdissely the manner In which it is constructed, as it ! does sot unfreqnently happen that a potty offence is grossly magnified by the use of technical phrases, such as—with intent to vilify and defame his Ma. :1114 ' jeity's Government—to degrade and bring into con. tempt the, law of the land,—to destroy subordination ita the army or navy—to raise sedition—secretly isttlng—notoriously conspiring, and such like ; ich being craftily interwoven with the charge, Say deceive you by affecting the life of the accused ; party ,when you are not aware of their secret ten. ttency.,4, it a, therefore, your especial duty to sere. tb4o 4 , - in the nicest nsaaner, the .w hole tenor of the ~ l odittraent, and to be sure that every part, as well t4eiateist as the bare fact, be con fi rmed by deer andoianifest evidence, before you say GUILTY end tf coy Of, thereetv• or intentions be unsubstanti ated by evidence, though a part of them may be proved, yet art you bound to pronounce the ac.. Cused NOT OVILTY ; for it is your very province to frustrate the occult purposes of designing men, and to protect „the person of your fellow.subjeet from , unjust and malignant prosecution, which you cast only do by wary attention and upright heart. A fatal instance of this unsuspecting negligence of a Jury is to be seen in State Trials, vol. 1, pap. 161—Udal's Case. The witnesses that are called on both sides have the next claim to your most serious and undivided attention ;Au whom either Juryman may pet. such (mations as hi pleases, without kave of aid ; it is good also fot every one to minute down such parts . of the evidence as appears* particularly necessaey be.retnembered, is order to be better abte to' satisfy each other w hen,they come to deliberate upon that verdict, whether the specifications in the In. dictated', &c. are, or are not, proved. When the investigation is completed, and the , worthy gentlemen .in sable robes assail you with their flippant flourishes; I wish. to remind you that it is not necessary to pay half the attention to their declarations, that was due to the witnesses, who were sworn to tell 46 tiontruth, the whole truth, and nothing but the &nth ;" remember that words are the commodity which Lawyers sell, and that they are only delivering the merchandizo which they have sold—that you have sworn to try by the evidence which you have heard as well as grey, and can judge as fairly, if you do not suffer yourselves to bu be. guilcd. It is usual, also, before you are sent to confer together on the verdict you are about to give, .fur the Judge to recapitulate tbe heads of the mat. tor given in evidence, with some comments of his Girl, which are sometimes candid, impartial, and ',honest ; when they so appear, they deserve rove . rem and attention—but if they assume an im posing, dictatorial, or coercive tone, they must be rejected altogether, and you must rely only on the iuference you yourselves draw from the evidence / and soar own integrity will serve yoU with better determination than any other source. A Jury of twelve men are by our laws the only PROPER judges of the matter et issue before ,them—Coca's 'esti. totes, p. 4.—sod nothing can be more absurd than to suppose that twelve are set to echo back the voice of one, when they have individually sworn te, " make a true deliverance according to the evi-t dotes RETORE THUS :"- Indeed as a worthy writerl k observes, " If our ancestors bad thought fit to depend on the contiogeot tonally of Judges, they would not have been-so - zealous to continue and maintain the usage .oflaries." _ . *H. w Ls*, SolicitiOi to Yin , - sometimei heard my feHow.subjects ( AO.

It is his particular business in Court tas,see that the Jury be properly returned, and dupe sworn . ; that lawful challenges be allowed ; to advlse by law whether such or such,evidence be legal; to see that the truth be clearly sifted out ; to answer questions on any point of lest qe which the Jury request information in the .case t?efur, them ; to take the verdict of the Jury, and to giro 'sentence according to law : for t as COKE observes, the business of a Judge is 6 , jus dicere, non fads dare ;" not to make 'the 'law,. but„to declare the law already made. When this is done, the verdict is recorded, " Juratures super sacrainerituns sun In &cunt, 4-c."' The Jurors do say urox Tunis • OATH, &c. -whatever the indictment has previously specified ; and this is transmitted as a precedent and foundation for future judgments : if it be just and right, the reward will be great ; but if negligently or wilfully unjust, then has the barrier established against oppression been converted into a destruc. tire battery, and the curses of future ages' will call down vengeance on the dishonourable heads of those who caused it. • A Resolution of the House of Commons, from their Journal of the 13th of December, 1667, de. claret the fining and imprisoning of Juries for giving their verdicts illegal; and the same is confirmed en the authority of the Judges themselves, in Bushel's ease, Vaughan's Reports ; but giving wilfully false and corrupt verdicts—being guilty of subornation —receiving bribes—withdrawing from their fellows —receiving from either side evidence not given in Court—eating and drinking before giving their ver. dicts—using fire or candle —or, refusing to give a verdict, arttall. punishable offences. . I most hate *like to observe, that I would not lipereeeposed to aim to entice any Jury to con. niveseemt. lakelty ; or that jest and legal punish`. meats should not be exercised for the welfare and safety of society : what I have dose has been: with the wish to promote the great end of one of the best blessings which our Constitution boasts ; if my effort succeeds I area amply rewarded; and only beg a liberal interpretation of my motiveafruits the public; pronouncing myself their loyal' friend:: Nay 12, air S.
