JUDGE DOWIVES'S CHARGE. (Continued from our Paper of Thursday.) • The provisions of the Ad for preventing the existence of such assemblies, for punishing the mere giving notice of an EleEtion (of a nature contrary to the Act) to be held, the provisions fcr punishing those who shall vote, or ad, in such eleEtion of re presentatives, the provision enabling Magistrates to disperse such assemblies if aaually formed ; none of these provisions of the Act, (and these provisions comprize all the remedies the Aa gives to the pub lic) could be executed, if the officers of the law must wait until it shall be ascertained by ihe con duct of the assembly so eleaed, whether, in reality, there be an intent to petition or not ; that is, whether the pretence of petition be true or s false ; the truth or falsehood of the pretence could wit be ascertained, until either the assembly had actually petitioned .; or dissolved themselves without petition ing. The, justification of the Magistrate or Officers of the Law must depend, not. on their own ads, and the circumstances-then existing, but must depend on the subsequent condua of others, so also must the guilt of persons accused of thing at such eleCtion. And the mischief and danger, so clearlypointect out by the preamble of the statutes as the objed of the act to prevent, would remain without remedy; mis chiefs equally possible and practicable, whether such an assembly should or should not petition, or in tend to petition ; mischiefs not stated by the adt, "as in their own natwe inevitably, and of necessity, flowing from such an assembly, .hut equally possiule, and equally likely to happen, whether the pretetice of petition, bt3 true or false. In my apprehensiony therefore, the argument, which requires that such an assembly should meet• under a " false pretence," in order to bring them within the operation of this Statute, has not the slightest weight, but goes if subMitted to, to make the At inoperative. The tine meaning of the Statute is, that if they are representatives, (for representation of others is essential to bring such an assembly within the Statute, and must be proved to the •satisliittion of the Jury) and if they assemble with a view to pro cute an alteration of matters established by law, in Church or State, (another essential circumstance to constitute the offence) even though that effeti was held forth to the world, as designed to be procured by a petition, and really was so intended, or by what ever other means !Inch effed might be intended to be produced, such an assembly falls within the de- scriptiou of the Aa. _ Gentlemen, that this Act was intended to be most comprehensive in its application to representa tive assemblies, in my mind, appears powerfully, from the saving which has been adverted to, where it declares assemblies to be unlawful, it saves and excepts the Knights, Citizens, and Burges to serve in Parliament, and the houses of convu• cation, duly sunarnoned by the ,King's .wii, the words whic - h.the Aet hns.uied to embrace tepresen, tative• assemblies, meeting for the purpos:. of pro- curing lalterntions of matters establishe bylaw, are so large, that although it could not beconceived that the Parliimentintended to put down the House of Commons, or the Houses of Convocation, yet the words are large enough to embrace then, being representative assemblies, and having the power of procuring alterations in Church and State; and they, are excepted out of the enaament, which one would thick the subjeat itself would nOt render necess3ry'; but it chews the vast extent of the words, which have been used, w hen Pat hament thought fit to sa,a, front their operation, the House of Corntnons, and the Houses 61 Convocation. Another objection has beep made, founded up on the proviso, at the ,end of the Aa, saving a right of Petition., that it must save the right of pe. titioning though exercised by the representative assemblies. • Gentlemen, the a&, certainly, has a proviso that any thing therein contained shall not be construed in any manner to present, or impede the undonht ed right of his Majesty's subjee:is, to petitioa his Majesty, or both or either Rouses of Portia- Now, Gentlemen, if I were to push that excep tion so far as to say, that the subject may petition, even in a mode or manner which the at his pro vided against, I should make it so inconsistent that that whole ad would become inoperative. It is our duty so to construe ads of Parliament as to give - effeet to every word, if we can, and An doing so, with resped to thin particular act, it is Minos sibie to hold, that it saves the right of petitioning, - in a niode contrary to the provisions of the pet, or otherwise, than as the ad left that right unw touched,. just as the ad in England, which pro hibits the approaching the,King, or the Parliament, in a greater number, than is expressly limited, it saves the right .of petitioning, not by numbers, to any amount, for then the act would do nothing, bvit as here, it leaves the right of petitioning as it Was before, but prevents its being presented, in the one case, by an excessive number, and in the 'Other being prepared or presented, by a Representa tive Assembly--,and it would ,be monstrous so to construe an ad, assto allow the proviso to counter- _ vail the whole of the. enacting clauses, which it .would, it it received the eitensive construction which has been contended foOrere. It may have been the intention of Parliament, (and probably was) out of great. caution to shew the public,_ ttvit the substantial, real right of .petitioning; was not . . intended to be etreeled—the enactment prOlii!)lts on mode of petitioning, and the proviso 233'1/CS alt others. It is also contended, that no representative as sembly can fall within the ad, it ii be for one single object, that of Petition. It is contended that tho character of the Assembly, declared to be an of fence, must be taken to be—that of representation generally, or for numerous objects, but not of dele= gation for one particular ad, and that such being the objeEt here alluded to, it does not tall" within the penalties of this statute. On a former occasion 'we thought this argument had no solid weight in it, and that it was suffic:e :tip answered, when it was shewn that , the Assemoiy, winch is the object of the statute, must be a repre sentative Assembly ;—that where the assembly,wA representative, and met with the view, and for ;tie ,object mentioned in the statute, it fell within the scope of this ad, even although the sole means of that assembly was a petition—a single ad, where the object of the assembly was to procure an altera tion of matters established by law, in Church and State—although the means, by which it was to be procured were confined to one single act—that cif petition. The argument, in support of the objec tion, assumes that there cannot be a representation for one singld act. But the ad goes upon no such supposition ; the offence in the Assembly is re presentation, or assuming to represent the people, or any number or description of them, under pre tence of procuring by Petition, or otherwise, an alteraticin of matters established by Law, in Church or State, and that under whatever names the persons assembled, may give themselves whe ther Delegates, Representatives, or any otne..- des cription." There is nothing in the as that requires thai this representation to make it criminal should b e - general ; that • none should fall within the descrip tion of representative, unless they iltssurne all the po - was of a Parliament, or have in expless terms many objeas, or a great numbe of means for effect ing one objed, confined to them. To fall within the At, the Assembly must be, or assume to be, representative—the'Members of a re presentative Assembly, are representatives, undo' whatever designation they may be called. The charaaer of the , Assembly nr of its -Memb- , s, is not made to depend on the number of its obj,c,is, on the generality or particularity of •the trust re posed in them ; but on the original constitution of the Assembly, if it be elected, or appointed to re present any portion - of the people, and has for its object the procuring such alteration of the laws, as the Act mentions,• though it holds out to the ‘Aorld, and that truly, no other means or intent of effe. - ting that object, but a petition ; it is a'represcm a:ive sembly, and its members are representatives, «i; h, in the meaning of the Ad ; and - with respea the distinction taken between delegates and repre.- sentatiVes, the Act seems tb use these tt-rnis ,4* synonimous—it is immaterial by what names they shall designate themselves, if in faa they are to act as representatives in a representative Assembly, they fall within the Act, and may be described as repm- SentativeS. But if more loban one object were necessary- to CHING's I' WORM LOZENGES. VVORMS are 'the most frequent sources of Chil dren's Diseases. Their symptoms every Parent and Guardian of C ttiltjren should be acquainted with. They oc casion Loss of Appetite, a Paleness of the Colour of the Face, Emaciation, and irregular state or the Bowels, attend ed after with violent pains; they bring on Convulsions ; they aired the growth of the Body, and they provelatal, by end ing in a Consumption or Decay. Both as a Preventative and Cure of these alarming Complaints, the above excellent Me dicine is:universally allowed, on the testimony ot the highest Charaders in this Country, both in rank and respectability', *to have no equal. Their public approbation, given to the Proprietor, :from a personal knowledge, ofits wonderful suc cess in their own Families, stamps its merit beyond competi tion, and gives a sanction to it, of which no other Medicine of the kind can boast.
