Upon the fact of killing (which might he a perfectly iiinoceot action). murder and malice were presumed.

It appeared to him that Courts must either act upon those presumptions, or guilt mast go unpitoislird.

Phil bp% in his book upon the Law of Eviden - iv, lit piige 151, give the definition of the civilians of presumptive evidence. It was sod to be the weigh hog of probabilities. and elec.diug by common sense which way the balance trollies. Now what were the probabilities in -this case ? The probability ass, that it was written ill Leicestershire. because it wss dated Kirby l'ark. ltarrived in London on the 25th August, need moat therefore have left Lei cestershire on the 13,1 or 24111 of that month. It was found in Middlesex in the hands of Bicker stair. Finding it in the handle of another person, he must presume that it quitted the hand of Sir Francis Busdrit iu Leicestershire, ;end WAG convey ed tither by post or by a private hand. By the evidence, it appeared it came to the hands of Brooks as it left the howls of Sir Francis Burdett. Had he sent it as a Member of Plainsmen', it would most probably have been addressed to Mr. Brooks, and he would ask if it were probable that it should come by the post unsealed ? A good deal had been said about errs ption, but if a paper was found in • given state, it uiust be presumed to have been always in that state, unless silents to the contrary. Had it been sent sealed to Biekerataff, a different note would have berm sent. The only err' g on the envelope was. " forward this to Brooks." Would this be the way in which Sir Francis Bur dett would write to a gentlent4ii ? NO; the pro. bability was, that the writing was s mesnoraudurn made by Bickerstall, in Leicestershire. to indicate to himself titut that was the paper which he was to deliver to Brooks. If those presumptions had inis led the Judge told Jury. how easy was it fur the De fendaut to have set them right by calling Bicker staff. Upon these grouvida, lie wait of opinion, not only that he ought to have left it as lee did to the Jury, but that the Jury could find uu other ver dict. It was said that it was the duty of the Crown to have called Bickersteff; hoe how could they know that such is person as Bickerstaff was in ex istence ? He ink the rule to be., that he who knew of the evidence, ought to produce it. But sup posing that it had been *ea by post, he IMr. Jus tice Best) would still insist that was • publication, and there WAS no ground for a new trial on that ac count, as the Defendant, at the saute 11111 e that he instructed oi• Counsel to argue the point, might have required a special verdict to have Inca' routed. It was supposed that publication meant a 111.111fra• taliou of the contents, but he denied that that was the legal sense of the word. People heard of arbi trators publishing their award, or • person pub lishing his will ; bit; neither of them implied a read ill of the contents. In the case of libel, the mo ment the libeller does the list Het, that was a posh tetanus. He bad shot the arrow, and whether it hit the mark or nut, he hid done all he could that it might. There was an end of the locus peitilentia—the sired was done. He would pappo.e the case of • man sending a newspaper in as emvelope, sud it was carried by a boy into anuther county sod there publiabeil, would it nut be contrary to common arose to suppose the boy was the publisher? Or, be would suppose • man to write • libel in • letter, and addresses it to a man to be publidied in Paris or St. I'etersburgh, that pension could never be called upon to answer fur it, but be would contend that the sending it was a sufficient publics. lion. He had referred tosbe case of the King against Watson at the trial to shew that allot letter was closed when it left she hairdo( the Defendant it was still • publication. If that case were not held to be as authority eu far, it would f illow that Lord Eilenborougis had been inc..in 1111 l no with bists•elf, which ha would never allow to be the ram, fur in the cave of she Kisg a.

There was in truth no substantial difference between a libel to provoke a ehallesige or breach of the peace and a !tessera howl which is likely to produce a breach of the pease.

So far the ease of the King against Sere might be borne out, hot the ease was perfectly distinguishable from that. That the crime of writing was • misdemeanor, mod weight he polished as such, appeared from this, that iodic-meats for libels al ways charged the writing and composing as part of the cries..

After the able argument which he then heard, he still thought there was sufficient of evidence of publication to leave to the Jury. The case was defended by the Ilminurahle Baronet himself. and the coarse of his defence was the impossibility of his entertaining the intent charged. tie (Mr. Justice Best) left to the Jury too points: lat. If there had been a publication in Leicestershire; and, secondly. Whether the paper so published was or was not a libel. As to the publication, he thought lie had told the Jury that the Defendasit must be µrepotted with evidence to rebut it, if the publication was sot in Leiceo tecshcre and to the second point he had told them, that the intent was to be 'gathered from the paper itself, and if they thought it likely to •scite desalrection to the Government, a man most be presumed to have intended what the paper was likely to produce.
