He was perfectly willing to album that no nation, more es pecially a great one like this, should change its laws, particularly ott the subject of the punishment a grime, without great and serious deliberation. Bet he would here beg leave to remind the Court, thtn , tha notice on which his preseitt motion was fosailed, was of thrte or four mouths standiug ; it coned tot therefore be considered as precipitately iatrotluced, or immaturely submitted for discus. elm. Within the last few days, pablic opinion had been in a strong degree called to the consideration of the state of criminal law is. this country—[The worthy Gentleman alluded, we presume, to the Bank cases it the Old Beiley]—end a very un equivocal feeling had been manifested oo this sub.. tect.—(Hear, hear.)—lt was time to revise and consider a pert of Quer laws, fur it was clear that in the course of time, the practices of antiquity re gairtid reconsideration and alteration, Whoever spout, it byelaw it ;ma to malceb who, without being gradoated is soy of.the Coons of Law, at. tempted to submit for discassiou a nibjeCt do great as the reforntatigg of Ake Criminal Code, he was dearly to Make. ll* there *Ns to so ignoraeit of loosing events, a not know that a revision of the Criminal Law had beets bug called for, and that .thus cell had not poly been re-echoed by some of the • most distioguished Members of both asso,--__ -I.

If Parliament were to empaintel a Jury to try the state of the Criminal Code, it could not select from any body of men in the country more coin- Weld persona than this corporation could furnish. They were generally men of experience in life, and all of them above the age assigned by the Roman law for the admission of a member of their &libe lranee councils.--. They were also men deeply in terested in the morals, the feelings, and the welfare of their fellow citizens. Eight times iu the year ' the King issued his Commission of Qyer mid Ter miner to their lord Mayor sod Aldermen, to try the moat important criminal cases. and the Judges of the Land only attended the Court on such oc casions to assist them, not to direct them, in the discharge of their duty. When it was considered hew ceeverssnt their Magistrates trete its all cases • reliff, acid in the jurisdiction of the greet range of esex cases, fur which their Chamber puid so &Orly, no peewit could presume to ley, that they were not competent judges of such a question as that which he was about to submit to the Court. He knew it was a question of rn,aneittous interest— he knew its great importance, and that it far ex ceeded iu interest any subject which had for years been submitted to this Court. There never wits one. it might be truly said, in which they ought, at the outset of this consideration, with more sincerity call for the benefit of that moral inotto which was in scribed on the shield of their anus over the entrance to their •Ilalt—Domine Ilirige Aos.—(lleae.) The caw.cs of the vast increase of crime of late years were, doubtless, multifarious. The termi. tuition of the late war had sin doubt had its full operation in adding to the Ilsis of pauperism and consequent crime. The great weight of taxer, and the want of employ, had uo doubt swelled the lists. But the sperm' tttt of the Criminal Law afferded no balm to such sufferings. Why did the mind shrink with horror from the conteinplation of the crimes of murder and . le/to-de-se? but that a life had been suddenly torn from society. which it was beyond the power of mortal to give or restore. In this view it was importaut to consider the nature add effect of our capital punishments, end what most be their moral efficacy for ourselves with that Bring " before se hum all notions ore but as a drop in the sea."
