He says, "1 cannotAielieve that lc men, clad in their native green, priuld be found the enemies of Ireland." The Learned Counsel for the traverser knew that passage was in the informs;; tion, and was aware of the construction. put upon it by the Crown, and yet not a word was said by him in quali fication of its being so used, and with that meaning . standing on the record uncontroverted, if you believe the witness, the sedition charged in the very terms ofAu s lyt that information is established. ' , zt a..ssi Mr. BUTT—I left that to the jury, to judgesfor them- - selves. CHIEF JUSTICE—Just so, and a greiii s raany other things. I now come to the passage in his speech in which he advised them to fraternize with the French. I will not again advert to the meaning se hich the I word " fr a t ern i ze " i s i ntended to bear, but merel (-- observe, that in the whole of this speech it is another T/.1 word for co-operation and assistance. If you can give it a n y ot h er meaning, am lme, if freeyotuo givesay ? t os s; : ,.:.9„ ) ; are at lib er ty to d o so. Nay, re meaning different from .that which I give it, you are : 1 7 ` bound to reject my meaning and adopt your own. Prom that speech it appeared that it was bis opinion that in ease of an invasion, the Queen's subjects in Ireland should do tbey were granted their own Parliament. That language (subject, I shall say, to your better judgment) appears to me to be pertecti • unequivocal, and a direct threat that unless the repeal of the union is conceded the loyalty of the Irish is no longer to be calculated upon. Nay, that they would rather regard as friends than intruders the common enemy of the country. He then goes on to make use of language the plain object of which is to induce his hearers, and those who may read his speech, to believe that those who exercise the powers of government in France are perfectly prepared to aid them in their project. What other object could there be than the intimidation of the persons who, either as Members of Parliee went or members of the Government, were to judge of this question of the repeal of the union? lie next suggests the formation of what is called an Irish brigade, to be paid and disciplined in a fbreign country; and gives an advice that those who hear him shall attend to ne delivered, as a preliminary to the formation of a National 'Guard. Now, on my mind (subject to your better judgment), those are nothing more than a detail of hostile means and threats of foreign force and assistance, the object of which is to accomplish the utter overthrow of the Imperial Legislature, but that opinion is not to control yours; and if you come to a dif ferent conclusion, then your verdict will be according to your views, and not according to mine. I have next to call your attention to the parts of the speech that are omitted; and, with one exception, I have not heard a pas sage read which either qualifies, retracts, or explains the parts that are set forth in the information. The only pas sage which appears to be relied upon by the traverser's counsel has been that which speaks of the intention of the people to arm as a means of preserving themselves against the aggressions of the Government. I must any with respect to that, that is not only highly improbable, i b n u t t it e nti i o s n g grossly sly the o libellous o vern in Government. t g o e n i e p m u teen, an on s w i ll take the trouble of going over the remainder of the t s r p o e m ech t h a e s I pa r h t s a i o •e d mi o tt n e e I h d, either t t he i r n k y qualifying ol l fl o u r de contra h t r a o far a t d t a eting pec th e ev h et er s ysa o in u in e t opin t i h on e information,anything in t i h t e is p o a r t r i e o i n t e s r a o t f to t n h e of s and the very same injunctions with regard to the defence that has been made, and the speeches that have been quoted in condemnation of the legislative union.

Whilst the jury were absent a great number of persons, including ladies, remained in court in anxious expecto, tion of the result. Shortly before seven o'clock the jury returned into their box, and Chief Justice Blackburn being sent for, now re-appeared ou the bench. , The Foreman, Mr. Fitzgerald, said—My Lord, the jury hale not agreed to a verdict. The CHIEF JUSTICE—WeII, gentlemen, it is bettor to adjourn the court, say until ten o'clock at night. The Foreman—My Lord, there is no probability of our agreeing even then. The CHIEF JUSTICE—The jury may now retire. The jury having returned to their room, Sir C. O'LOGHLEN suggested that ten o'clock should be fixed. This was agreed upon, and bailiffs were sworn to permit no communication with the jury. The court was soon after eutpty. During the entire evening immense crowds continued Outside the courts. Shortly after seven o'clock Mr. Sreith O'Brien and -time friends appeared outside, and the Nagreemint of he jury being then known tremendous cheering 'rose. As Mr. O'Brien p, oceeded along Ormond-quay, crowds followed, cheering..all, the way to his re. -idenee in Westland-row, where be appeared at a window of Gilbert's Hotel, andNiddre:ssed the populace, congratulating them on the prospects of the popular cause, and. the good order that hucttre'railerl (luring the day. ADJOURN sIENT OF THE COURT—THE JURY LOCKED UP FOR THE NIGHT. At ten o'clock P.M., the Chief Justice came into court, when the jury were called into the box. The Foremau stated there was not the least probability of their agreeing to a verdict. CHIEF JUSTICE—WeII, Mr. Attorney, have you any. thing to say ? The ATTOnEY-GE24ERAL—No, my Lord. Mr. BUTT—My Lord --- CHIEF JUSTICE—I cannot hear anything from you, Mr. Butt. A Juror—My Lord, are we to be locked up for the night ? •-• CHIEF JUSTlCE—Certainly. A Juror—Well, my Lord, I hope you will order ns refreshments. CHIEF JUSTICE—No, it is impossible I can order you any refreshments. I adjourn the court to ten o'clock to morrow morning. The jury were then locked up for the night; the portly gentleman who asked for the refreshments left the box with despair evidently depicted on his counte nance.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. FIIMAN. This was an information filed by the Attorney . General against Sarah Firman, to obtain the condemna tion of 625 gallons of sweet spirits of nitre, and 93 carboys in which it was contained. 'rhe Solicitor-General conducted the case for the Crown, and Mr. Martin appeared for the defendant. It appeared that the spirit in question was manu factured by a person of the name of Bailey, who kept a distillery in Globe-road, which in 1845 was entered by the Excise officers, and the spirits and apparatus seized, in consequence of the distillery not having been properly entered at the Excise-office. Subsequently the defend ant's house was entered, and the 625 gallons of spirit and the 93 carb o y s were also seized. The main ques tion in the case was whether sweet spirits of nitre was a spirit within the meaning of the law and liable to a duty. The JUDGE told the jury that he was of opinion that sweet spirits of nitre was entirely an article of commerce, perfectly well known and distinguishable from spirits, and treated as such by several enactments; but he left it to them to say whether it was in their opinion a mechanical mixture or a chemical combination. If they were of opinion that the spirit was in an uncornbined state they would find for the Crown, but if they were not satisfied on that point their verdict ought to be for the defendant. The jury found for the defendant. A bill of exceptions was tendered by the Crown. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 16. (Sittings at Nisi Iriu;, --- etlVestminster, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and a Common Jury.) BLACK V. CARR. This was an actior;;;;breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded that he did not make the pro mise, and a special plea of fraud. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Wordsworth appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for the de fendant. The Learned COUNSEL for the plaintiff briefly opened the case, the facts of which will be found in the evidence. Mrs. Jane Miller stated that she was the wife of Mr. W. Miller, and resided near Eaton-square, and resided in Albany-street, Regent's-park, a few years ago. The plaintiff's father is a tailor in Oxford-street, named Upsdale. She first became acquainted with the plaintiff and her sister Martha when they lived in Regent -street. About three years ago they lived in Park-street, Re gent's-park. The plaintiff and her sister carried o❑ business distinct from their father, as milliners. She saw the defendant once at the plaintiff's house in 1844. The defendant then addressed the plaintiff as Miss Upsdale. The plaintiff had a child, and the defendant saw it frequently, and she had heard the defendant speak to the child, calling it by the name of a nobleman. In 1846 or 1847, she heard the defendant speaking something to the plaintiff and her sister about a breach of promise of marriage which appeared in the paper. They were joking together on the sofa about it. In an swer to the defendant, Martha said it referred to her sister, the plaintiff ; the defendant replied he knew it did, though he asked ; but it would make no difference to him as regarded their future happiness, and he would love and protect the child as though it were his own, and he wished it to remain at school until after the wed ding•day. The defendant said he knew that the child belonged to a person named . The plaintiff and defendant always appeared on terms of courtship, and he was in the habit of addressing her as " Dear Ma tilda." In July, 1847, she saw a basket arrive from the country, and heard the defendant say that the marriage was to take place in SeptemberT and-Are —wished the bonnote to he produced. They were taken out of the package and put on in defendant' s pre sence. Witness had then got on the wedding bonnet, which she was to have worn at the ceremony. The wedding dresses were to be silver grey. The defendant wished the plaintiff to advertise her property, as her furniture would be of no use to him. The plaintiff's furniture was worth 2501. to 300/. The de fendant wished the marriage to be kept quite secret, and said it was time enough for his friends to know of it when it appeared in the paper. The defendant also told the plaintiff that his situation was worth about 2001. a year. lie also said that upon the marriage be would put 100/. in his pocket, and the plaintiff would have her choice of Dover or Paris for a wedding jaunt. He also told the plaintiff that he could furnish a house which would cost him 5001.; and that she was to keep one or two servants, or more it she required it. The defendant wished to be married at Old St. Pancras Church, be cause he had had a favourite sister married there to an Irish clergyman. The plaintiff after this almost entirely gave up her business. . - Cross examined—The plaintiff, after the birth of the little boy, took the name of Mrs. Black, and went, in Camden -town, by that name. The plaintiff let out her first floor to lodgers, and her servant went by the name of Black. The servant knew her name was Upsdale. The little boy was five years old. Mrs. Black would nut have accepted a man with only 801. a year, as it would not have supported her as a lady, w i t h a servant to wa it upon her. . _ _ la'tNhieirsshMadarttwhoadUaup:dhatelersexaialmdinfievde—She was the plain tiff's sister, and her father resided in Oxford s 3 ears ago.

The defendant wished to be married the first week in September; and he chose silver-grey for the wedding dresses and inspected the wedding bonnets. The business of plaintiff and witness, as milliners, was worth from 3001. to 4001. a year when the defendant first visited the plaintiff. They sometimes all used who dine together on a Sunday with witness's father, o often to take them out in the phaeton. She heard de fendant say his salary was 2001. a year. A number of letters were now put in for the plaintiff, 20thof addressed m atroehh,erisf47,mwathsesidgenfeed „ William," and ndant. One , d ated the ad dressed to Mrs. Black. It was addressed to her as "My dearest Matilda," in which the defendant expressed his satisfaction at " again opening the correspondence," and in it wrote " Allow me to say that my love is not les sened. It is the same as it was the first day we met." Other letters were put in, commencing in the same en dearing style. One, dated the 15th of June, contained a the following passage:—" As yo u have made up your mind at last to accept my hand , after three years' con. sideration, we will have the ma tter over as soon as we can, although not so soon as I could wish." On the 15th o li f ttl J e ul g y ir t l h , eendesfeennddaanyt. wrote:—"el;htahlal tcoymeue, nirey dear not in a very good temper, and I should like to be by your side, and knock it out of you." The defendant went on to say that he expected soon a good appointment of 3001. or 4001. a year. The last letter put in was as follows: 184 8, " Dear Matilda,—l am mu ch obliged to your note of "Ely, Cambridgeshir e, Sunday, Aug. 7. Friday last, which I should have replied to per returnof , but have been so exceedingly engaged in business late that time only is my excuse. You expressed ade • sire in your last to know what it was I required of you. Well, it is this :—After taking everything into conside ration, I think it is as well that your father should be made acquainted with all matters ; let him be told it by you ; he can then, or you write to me, and I will imme diately come up to town. I had much rather it would be so for many reasons. I shortly expect a very good appointment. As soon as that is settled, I will then take a house, furnish it, and have everything fit for your re ception for a lady to enter. There is only one thing I require more—that on our marriage-day you be fur nished with 8001. or 1,000/. I do not require it for myself, but from the society I shall have to enter into and other things it is required. You can now consider my proposal, which I trust will meet with your views. IF such be the case, I shall expect to hear from you in and of the course of a few days, when, as before stated, I shall meet your father with a feeling of great pleasure, and at once. I hope to arrange matters amicably together. I have only come to this decision, as I am sure it will are not ex p m es e sed y prove to be the means of our future happiness, you, dear girl. Reconsider the matter if you will —I stn tseartehoto agree with you in this one thing, that it is folly possessed young people indepe runningindependent ine e a m w e a . y when they to do, no ne Were I so of ray friends would look upon me • again.

CARR. had thehiss ad (bl:efeni muchlant " Mrs. Black, 113, Park -street, Camden. town. distressed intro de b t t y l e the plaintiff breaking been in plaintiff's 5,. , r vice a plantiff's servant, examined—Had Upsdale, hisyear and a halt. Had heard "little intended wife." The plaintiff mar riage. The little boy was born at apartments taken for the plaintiff by its father. e A letter from the plaintiff's attorney was put in, stat ingt offO r f v e t s t d a his instructions from Mrs. Black to bring the present action ; and that as its object was the recovery of da mages, he would be open on the part of the plaintiff to re ceive a pecuniary offer. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant Tau-amp then proceeded to address the jury for the defendant. The Learned Sergeant contended that no breach of the defendant's promise was in fact proved. The defendant had in truth awakened from that state of unhappy infatuation in which lovers were generally but too apt to forget the realities of their position, and seeing the folly of beginning the world with nothing, he had written the letter of the Bth of August to the plaintiff. The plaintiff made no reply to that letter, but a fortnight afterwards went to her attorney and instructed him in effect that money alone was what she wanted. There the matter rested. The plaintiff had sued in her maiden name in her former action against a nobleman, en the present occasion by the name of her adoption. The probabilities were that she had attempted to trade on her misfortune, and had held herself out as a widow of a Mr. Black, with a legitimate son provided for, and the poor defendant, as a railway clerk, had fallen into the snare. It was not likely that the defendant would have formed such a connexion had he known the plaintiff's true position. There was nothing to show that when he knew of the plaintiff's former action he was aware that she had been the paramour of a nobleman. In the former action the plaintiff had recovered 3001. damages. There was no doubt but that money was now her object, but she could not expect to recover that sum again, as she the had not been seduced a second time. lie hoped jury would not think this a case for heavy damages; but, the defendant, it whatever their verdict might impose on would be preferable to accepting the plaintiff and poverty without virtue. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said there could be no doubt that the evidence established that l a promise had been made, though it Tnohatt clearly how ever, that there had been a breach of it. ever, was not put in issue by the pleadings. The defen dant relied on the plea of fraud as a discharge of his promise, and the question for the jury to consider would be whether the defendant was aware at the time that he made the promise to the plaintiff that she had had a child. Of this they must satisfy themselves from the evidence. Supposing the jury thought that he did not know of the plaintiff's having had a child, the question of damages would arise, and the jury must impose such reasonable damages as the circumstances of the case might to them seem to demand, taking into account the defendant's means. The jury, after about half an hour's absence, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. This finished the sittings after term at Westminster. MURDER IN SPITALFIELDS. At Worship-street Police court, yesterday, Sarah Rogers, charwoman, was placed at the bar, on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of a little boy between six and seven years of age, named Henry Lazarus, who had been found dead in Spitalfields that morning, having been most inhumanly murdered, for the mere sake of the clothes that were stripped from his person. sensation e e n ce Jewishhad caused popu an la ton extraordinary r t a h o o rd i na r neigh bourhood of Spitalfields. David Lazarus, the father, a Jew dealer, living at No. 26, Tenter-street, Spitalfields, deposed that the de ceased, who was six-and-a-half years old, was safe in the house at half past nine on Monday night, and a quarter of an hour afterwards was sitting on the door step, while the other two children were playing about outside. At ten o'clock they were called in to go to bed, but only two entered; and the deceased was no. where to bo found, and was not again heard of until yesterday morning, when he was found dead in the neighbourhood, and stripped of his clothing. His clothes were a cord jacket and trousers, and a striped silk handkerchief round his neck, and all the things had a fresh and new appearance. Abraham Lazarus, a relative, living a No. 14 in the same street, said he saw the child at five o'clock on Monday evening, dressed as described, and on his being missed was about all night with the father and others in search of him. Soon alter seven yesterday morning he was called into an adjoining yard by a neighbour's ser vent, and ther•e, under a beard placed siantinz against the wall, found the body of the child quite dead, and stripped of all the clothing except the shirt, the stock ings, and the handkerchief. lie had evidently been strangled with the handkerchief, which was twisted round the throat, and secured with four or tire tight knots. The face was discoloured, the eyes nearly start ing from their sockets, the tongue protruding from the mouth, and partly cut through with the teeth. The body was then cold and stiff. The witness said he afterwards kept a look out in the neighbourhood of Pet ticoat-lane, thinking it probable that the clothes might be taken there for sale, and about half-past nine he found the prisoner at the corner of White's-row, sur rounded by a crowd of at least 100 persons. The pri soner exclaimed, that at the station-house she would tell who had bought the child's clothes, and should thus be able to clear herself. He had not said a word to her about the clothes, but he then accompanied her to the station, where she asserted that a person in Frying-pan alley had bought the clothes. Police constable 207 H said, he was with the last witness when the prisoner was taken to the station house. On the way thither, she told him that a Mr. Lyons, in Frying-pan-alley, bad bought the clothes that morning. Mr. Abraham Lyons was now examined, and said he had never seen the prisoner before, that he knew of, and he assured the magistrate that he had not purchased any clothing since Monday. Two women (named Fleming and Sherm oc a e n n ) t p o r iw o . a v hn e a d yt that they heard the prisoner telling several persons in the Tenterground that the person whom she named h a d bought the murdered child's clothes from a wom an at seven o'clock that morning.

BATTERSEA STARCH-WORKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,---Perceiving in your paper of to-day a paragraph headed " Destructive Fire at the Battersea Starch works," in which it was stated that the entire building was gutted and the stock wholly consumed, we shall feel obliged by your at once correcting this error. The facts are simply these :--W e have eight stoves in connexion with our manufactory, detached from the main building, and so constructed that a fire in any one of them cannot communicate to any ether part of the works. One of these stoves took fire on Monday night, and its own destruction alone resulted, the works themselves not having been touched. The damage has been but trifling, and our manufacture has not been delayed a single hour. We must request of you the insertion of this letter, that the anxiety of our numerous friends may be at once allayed. • We are, Sir, yours, obediently, ORLANDO JONES AND CO. Battersea, May 13.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. TRIAL OF MR. SMITH O'BRIEN. DUBLIN, MONDAY NlGHT.—After the post left this evening, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE charged the jury. He said—ln thin case her Majesty's Attorney-General had filed an information against the traverser, W.S.O'Brisn. the subject of which information are certain passages of , a speech delivered by him on the 15th of March, in the present year. I say certain passage s, because you zre now all aware there was a large portion of that speech which is not transcribed into this information, and which, so, far, is nut for you in any way to consider than this: that having heard that part which is steted , in the indictment, as well as that part which is omitted, it is now fir you to consider whether the portions that are omitted either qualify, retract, or explain that which is the subject-matter of the information. The first con whether this be a seditious General ? So far as regar ds the s p eakin g of this speech, there exists no difficulty. s s r e a h t i i o n n t h f ( , ) , r p ) a • It there did, it would be ' ;t u ic w ul i a li rs be, c arged by her Majesty's Attor ney a matter for your consideration ; but it is conceded that the report of Mr. Hodges is a correct and accurate report of the speech delivered by Mr. Smith O'Brien; so on that subject you have no difficulty. The diffi culty in the case, whatever be its amount in value con sists in this—whether you on your oaths shall be able to find that those portions of the speech, or any of them, were delivered with all or any of the intentions charged sa.y wa t s h h a i t g i h k in the information? That is a subject exclusively for duty to render you, I shall first call your attention to you to consider. In the assistance which it will be my the designs with which this speech is charged to have been uttered on the information. I need not define to 13 t , h s e e l d a i n ti g o u u a s g ; e an u d se t d he b r y efo ll r l e r t . h S e . you what sedition is, because I am quite prepared to it t ith any one of the intents charged by this information, befor e said, is, was it uttered with all or any of those intents, for I tell lan guage. I have now to if it were, it was seditious lan : made against 2.1 O'Brien,3 call your attention to the charge Mr- you before, that if any of those your satisfaction, the question, e ' Briensti on, was as 1 designs are made out to to hi m is crime - of sedition imputed established. N next observation I have to —w, gentlemen the the language which is the s makes s this. In considering your duty is to understand subject -matter of this charge, sons to whom it was addressed should language —a s the per is no matter what may pass in should understand it. It judge of his intention b y his a man' s m i nd, we must must be taken to be uttered with the and those words veying that meaning which th e w e intent ion of eon their plain natural signification, itopeorrtd.s themselves, in the power of any man having uttered , e and it is not in ' put upon them a construction different fromemain words, to nary meaning. He must stand or fall byththeir ordi which those who hear them attribute to th e e meaning And you must see at once that if that were not the m l; responsibility for spoken or written language would be at an end; and again I say, you will be bound to take up the report of this speech, and read it as those to wh om it was addressed understood it. By that understandi ng you are to bind the defendant to that from which th e law does not allow him to escape—for otherwise the evasion of the law must be universal. You will observe that all these are preliminary remarks which I wish to impress on your mind as the key or index by which you are to be controlled and regulated when you come to consider the language of this speech. The next observations I will make to you are on the subject of the repeal of the union. Now, gentlemen, the repeal of the union means this and nothing else—the union consists in the Acts of the Irish and British Parliament. Those are the Acts of the two Legislatures, the result of which was the legislative union of the two countries. And those Acts of Parliament, I have to tell you, can only be repealed by law, and are only capable of being repealed by an Act of the Imperial Legislature. There is no other power Icy which that repeal can be legiti mately effected, but that repeal, so to be effeeted, is an object which it is perfectly lawful for any man to contemplate, and by legal means to bring to pass. As it can only be legally effected by the act of the Legislature, the means by which that act is to be brought about. are those which must be ordinarily familiar to you a, the means by which the Legislature may be moved to exercise its functions. It is the right of ever) subject to petition the Legislature for the repeal of the union. It is the right of every man, by hi representa tive in Parliament, to endeavour tO'procurA lie repeal of that Act. It is the right of every man fully, fairly, and freely, liberally and without control,. to discuss the merits, and expose the demerits of any act of the Go vernmen,, or of any act of the Legislature, and there art no means which reason, persuasion, or personal influence can supply, or any other mode affecting individual will and action, which can be imagined, that are not lawfully ... open to every man who wishes to effect changes in th d , law of the land; but these are all preliminary, in their nature to the act of the Legislature, by which alone they can be accomplished. And it you shuuld be of opinion, viii the consiaeration or this : l ie( eh, that it is coistin..l '- means of the kind I have meinioncd—that is to say, by means of argument, reason, and persuasion —effects ar. produced which are calculated in their nat ure t o wor k uP ) i the minds of those who are to makes the laws ?ft. country, it is exempt from the charge of bein g seditious it is an act which every subject of the resin has an right to perform, in order legally to accomplish that legal purpose. But while I have on the one h a nd told you how it is lawful to act, I must come to another consideration, and a material one in the considera tion of this subject. However lawful or legitimate the repeal of the Acts of Union may be in themselves, they are not to be accomplished by the use of illegal means; they are not to be accomplished by actual force; they are not to be accomplished by the threat of force; they are not to be accomplished by the threat of foreign invasion, or by foreign recruits, or money, or assistance. The use of these means, and the advice to have recourse to them are utterly illegal. I may say of them, that the acts are treasonable and the advice is seditious. You will have to bear in mind this important question as to the construction of these words, and the natural, plain, and obvious meaning of them. Is it such as to fall within the class of means which I have mentioned as being perfectly legitimate, or does it fall within that class which includes exhortations to violence —threats of force, and threats of foreign invasion? That will be for your consideration, because if that be your de liberate judgment on considering this speech, you will have no alternative but to pronounce it seditious, and seditious in a high degree. But there is a third view of this subject which must not be omitted, because there are passages in this publication, which, if they do not fall within the second class of illegal means which have been dis closed, seem to deserve to fall within another class requiring consideration, and that is, whether the repeal of the union be not a mere pretext; and whether, run ning through this speech, there be not a third view, and whether it does nut mean the dismemberment, by force and foreign aid and assistance, of Ireland from the British empire. I am pointing out this to you, not as the actual construction of this speech, for it will be for you to decide what that is, but I am pointing to it as possible that, in certain passages of this speech, that may have been, if not the intention of the traverser, at least the meaning which his words are calculated to create; and having done so much by way of preliminary observation, I will call your attention a little in detail to the speech which is the subject -matter of this pro secution; the purpose of bringing them before you distinctly, to the topics of defence which the traverser's counsel has relied upon, and see whether they are calculated to re move the impression which the evidence of the. Crown is considered entitled to make. The meeting at which the speech was made was held on the 15th of March, I,to adopt an address of congratulation to the citizens of the French Republic. It was, I will not say more of it, a very precipitate move—an early manifestation to conciliate parties in France, who had just overthrown the established institutions of the country. The address to the French people is drawn up by Mr. O'Brien himself. I will not go over any por ot this address which does not directly bear on the sub .jest before me; but, fur the purpose of seeing whether Mr. O'Brien be guilty or innocent, you must look to every part of it connected with the charge against him. He is entitled to have every part of it read, to show if he can, the absence of sedition, and he is bound by every paOt of it that shows the presence of sedition. His Lordship, French having read passages from the address to the ti people, and f rom th e Y oug h a ll a dd ress , con nned—Gentlemen, it is needless to say that the Par liament of England. which is called a usurpation in that address, is the Imperial Parliament, and that address Pr4P o unds the overthrow of that Parliament. Now, unquestionably, the word "overthrow" does in itself import something, I would say, different from ordinary and legitimate means. The very term imports same re=action and some irregular or unconstitutional course; but I should be sorry indeed to fix upon that phrase, or to Say that was necessarily its meaning. It is for e you to say whether it meant the overthrow of . h s . 3 _,__ Im perial Parliament by the repeal of the_ e legii "", known and union—that repeal to be effected by h b the seduction constitutional means of' repealing an Act_ t of Parliament, or: to overthrow it by the use of force d — b y the solicitation al the soldiery and constabulary, of: foreign aid and assistance. I . h Mr. O'Brien's speech atten tion to the suggestion contained in and to y call your and there a state of with respect to the landlord class shin'ted at, for it was said ti4tigs different from repea l that the property of the a t n w d a lords would be confiscated as the penalty of their supporting the connexion be. tween the two countries. Ise n extaddresses his hearer s thus :—" I would advise you to fraternise with every class you have been i v h is th e e habit of considering as hostile, and I think it is your duty to fraternize with t h e soldiers." I don't pretend to give an accurate descrip tion of the word " fraternize," but I am able to suggest ' tO you what it means here. as used by Una' speakerr, and Ido suggest to you that he exhorting them to confede rate with the soldiers to secure their sympathy_to make them partners in his designs, and t o ma k e t h em ' t4 a i nstrumen t s of carrying his designs into execution. The next passage was addressed to ancther body of the 1 4ueen's forces (the constabulary), wh ose support or neu trality it was plainly the object of the speaker to secure'. i re i A vino ob 7 0 'u 42,0 The u7N,; i , s h a ie n h i n n o ue og nd ut o mo on wrlsa;cwas w rl l ,4 ness = wa d s w er v amined, I -.4.4.1 . -;•rift.4/11 . . 41 f/I cntr:'t 1,,..i. • r • - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, BATH AND SOMERSET COUNTY RACES.
