He would lolly advise them shut the evidence of this pitsureution was not the same by any means as that gismo on the Ara trial. Ile 'Omitted that there was convirtion of great mural guilt ; but the Jury root he con vinced that such guilt was the very guilt, a n d uu charged in the indimaient. To ascertain the 'nolo or fallacy of this he went into an examination of what the bpi defioitiou of treason, and what ought to be the nature of lb* proof of molt a crime. The country hail guile louder the protection of the statute of Edward 111., which hail born culled he Lord Coke " the blessed statute," until the middle of the last reign, whim another Mamie of treason, which he mooch hounded, was passed. The 38illoof George 111. mails • Isitneulable alteration to the old taw of treason. 'lke Solicitor-Ur-11 - mi roc:mined that his tam ttepra.M=gterially on the worst species of evidence, that of accomplices Here wan one of the great evils isstroducoil by an alteration of the statutes of treason. The statute of Edward 111. re quired the must obvious display of gouts, and that was to be proved by the evidence of good witnesses. The new statute, which brought conspiracies into the same predicts. meut as the treasons of the old stalest', nude It 'Accessary to trust to sloe evidence of the basest wretches in human neon. The evidence of guilt was clear, but sot that part of the evidence which relates to the high treason. Again he cautioned them against convicting the Prisoner of "reason loetause he had embarked in °tilt, rr imes. He ridiculed slot charge of overturning the Goveronsent by such means as had been described. And this charge depended upon the evidence of a man who came Lenore them with the acknowledgment of having forsaken the religion of his country and his God, and who had added to his other iniquities the base crime of betraying his fellows. For when • ',lan had gone the whole length of such a conspiracy as Adams had entered into, it was in him the dregs of baseness to betray his companions. He repeated his caution, that they would nut extend the law of treason by construction. Constructive treasons, he was sorry to say. were usually the designs of bad Moroi to serve the purposes of had metre. men. He r.. 4 Lord Hale's exposition of treason, which ought to he definer, wry The Aerate Edo nrd• Thank God that it was in the power of lorlef to rear a barrier against the dangerous ilicamion of coestromive treason. If Crown Lawyers shioulo bring cams of tresses' before them, nut sup ported by the statute of Edward, or the rases under it, let the Juries, by their verdicts, as Lord tlale advised, rear up a barrier agriust that most dangerous tide of power, comae:relive treason. Adverting to the evidence of it, Adams, who was, as he said, a self-convicted assassin, • traitor to his King, rebel to his cavalry, an apostate from lois religion, and our who Atoka his God, was it to be be lieved that elevea men were ter be convicted its a British Court of Justice, and (if the law sboold be literally put in force) enbjeciril to torture sod death upon the evidence of such a wretch? The plea in support of sorb evidence would probably be, that the witness should ba credited if confirmed Ly other testomooy. Examine the characters of Holden and Mum:meat, and they would be found as lime deserving ut' credit as Adams. Yet these were the only con firming of the 'barge of tremolo'. Could an aggregate of baseness supply the want of a maglecrediltle witness? They had been asked why Patin and Putter were not called to dia prove Adams? II bud been admitted that there was guilt, and that dime meu were implicated. Was it fsir to call on the Cowart for the defence, to briag ~11 into Court, as tt were, with halters shout their necks—men who would be seised end prosecuted if they weuverrd into the Court?

It was a talent which be could nut have expected from the law Officers, he ask why the evidence of Putter, Latin, and others, was not brought in contradiction to Adams. The Learned Gentlemen most have known that those me* were ocean plie es ; that they must come with a halter about their heck. 1100 the Court—that they must leave eriusinated themselves whatever t h ey might have to say in favour of the Prisoner, or in contradiction to the lesiimony—that they were in clanger of apprehension the moment they entered the Court, and that a ruusielerable reward hail been offered far the de tection of one of them. It was a taunt then to call fur the evidence of men under such circumstances, which appeared rather liken taunt at the weakunis of the defence them a run_ 'tenon of the strength ref the prosecution—it was more like flee ingot the unfortunate condition into which the Prisuuer had fallen than a well-founded assurance of his joist nwie- H. thought it hut fair to stale to the Jury that the Me...urea Counsel bad biers wholly baffled in their attempts to inert the evidence oe the other aisle. It was the role soot custom in these cases to furnish the Prisoner with the par ticulars of the accusation, and a list of the woorsees who might be called upon to prove them ; but in this case they h a d brio furnished with a list of upwards of 150 witnesses, without knowing from what part of the hat the accusation would be aupporteil, and of Cllll,lle 1.111141.11 hawing any geode to direct them as to which of those witnesses they entzlit to prepare to cope with.
