By the 3d section it is enacted that whoever shall shoot at any person, or shall draw the trigger of any loaded firearms, with intent thereby to mur der such person, the such person so shooting or so drawing the trigger, even if no injury shall be inflicted, shall be adjudged guilty of felony, and shall be liable to transportation for life or fir a term not less than fifteen years, or to imprison ment for a term not less than three years.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the en dinary practitioner. T . ) enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence , in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec the Lord Chamberlain. Under this gallery, and immediately below the bar, another smaller one was erected, which afforded accommodation to about sixty persons. On the left of the Bar several benches were fitted up for the re porters for the public press, and we may take this opportunity of expressing our acknowledg ments to the Lord Chamberlain (Lord Wil loughby De Eresby) for the courtesy with which every arrangement, consistently with the limited space, was made for our accommodation. Immediately, in front of the throne a chair of state was rovided for Lord Denman, who, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor from indis- position, acted as Lord High Steward. At half-past nine the entrance to the House of Lords, termed the Peers' entrance, was opened, and in half an hour tl,;v body of the House was.. by 'Peers Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Wynford, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Brougham, Lord Monteagle, and Viscount Mel bourn6 were among the earliest arrivals. Shortly after ten o'clock the Attorney-General (with whom was Mr. Waddington) arrived and took his place at the bar ; immediately on his arrival Lord Lyndhurst went up to the bar and was engaged in conversation with him for some minutes. The eldest sons of Peers were accom modated with seats behind the throne. Among the occupants of those seats, we observed Vis count Howick, the Hon, Thomas Denman, &c. &c. Strangers, the greater part of whom were la lies, continued to arrive in quick succession, and long before eleven o'clock every place was occu pied. The arrangements for affording ingress and egress were admirably planned and executed, and notwithstanding the crowded state of the House no difficulty whatever was efperienced in passing to and fro. Shortly after his arrival the Attorney-General was joined by Mr. Wadding ton, the junior counsel for the prosecution. Sir William Follett, with Mr. Wrangham and Mr. Robinson, appeared as Counsel for the Earl of Cardigan. - The Solicitor-General was absent, we under stand, from indisposition. The Judges, on their arrival, took their seats on the cross benches in front of the chair, with the exception of Lord Denman, the Lord High Steward, and Lord Abinger, who took their seats among the Peers upon the Barons' Bench. The coup d'wil of the House was extremely pic turesque and magnificent, the Peers being all robed, and those on whom the honour of knight hood, and other decorations, had been conferred, wearing the collars of their respective orders. The Peers all wore cocked hats in order to in sure uniformity in this respect a notice had been posted in the lobbies of the House some days since, reminding the Peers that it was contra bonos mores to wear round hats with robes. The ladies were all in full dress. Lady Cardigan was one of the earliest arrivals, and took a seat on the right of the bar, immediately adjoining that oc cupied by the Noble Earl. A great number of the Corps Diplomatique were in the side galleries in plain dress, and below the bar were several Members of the House of Commons. At a quarter before 11 o'clock the Lords' Speaker (Lord Denman) having robed in his pri vate room, entered the House. A procession was formed in the usual manner, his Lordship being preceded by the Purse-bearer with the purse, the Sergeant with the • mace, the Black Rod earryi9g the,. Lord High Steward's staff, and Garter carrying his smptre. - Garter and Black Rod having taken their places at the Bar, the Lord Speaker proceeded to the Woolsack, where, being seated, prayers were read by the Bishop of Lichfield. The Clerk-Assistant of Parliament then pro ceeded to call over the Peers, beginning with the janion Baron, Lord Sydenham. Much amusement was excited in consequence of several of the Peers who were present not an swering to their names when called, until re minded by some Noble Lord near them. While the names were being called' over, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge entered the House. _ _ Among the absent Peers were—Lords Syden ham, De Fresne, Lurgan, Wenlock, Stuart de Decies, Furnival, Beauvais, Methuen, Wrot tesley, De Manley, Carey, Lismore, Kintore, Lovat, Portman, Hatherton, Western, De Saumerez, Cloncurry, Segrave, Mostyn, Pol timore, Panmure, Hamilton, Ludlow, Dun more, Chaworth, Sefton, Fingall, Stuart de Rothsay, Plunkett, Fife, Seaford, Fevers ham, 'S'kelinersdale Rosebery, Heytesbury, Tabley, Ranfurly, Wigan, Somerville, Gifford, Bexley, Downes, Delainere, RavensworthOriel, Maryborough, Glenlyon, Kingston, Clanbrassil, Wemyss, Minster, Prudhoe, Harris, Churchill, Ross, Melville, Hill, Lynedoch, Hopetoun, Man ners, Crewe, Lauderdale, Ardrossan, Mont eagle, Erskine, Barham, Sandys, Ellcnborough, Rivers, Abercorn, Loftus, Clanallan, Farnham, Carberry, Dunsany, Fitzgibbon, Wellesley, Rolle, Salterton, Stuart of Chapel, Stuart, Thur low, Douglas, Dorchester, Tyrone, Montague, Sherborne, Powis, Rodney, Dynevor, Foley, Hawke, Lovell and Holland, Sondes, Bruce, Monson, Boyle, Ray, Sinclair, Grey, Forbes, Howland, Clifford, Stafford, Teynham, Dormer, Arundel, Petre, Howard de Walden, Seaton de Peltroe,Vernon, Dacre, De Roos, Paget.

POST-OFFICE RO.BBERIEs.—A correspondent of a Bristol Paper r ays—‘ I have a new charge to bring against that omnivo roue anis, 'al, the Post-office. Within the space of three 1 ;smiths it e'as devoured and digested two very dissimilar arti 314 es belongivg to me, namely, a pair of embroidered silk t faces and a sovereign. Can the bymna do more?" The Earl of CARDIGAN, in a firm voice, re plied. " Not guilty, my Lord." The Clerk—" How will you be tried, my Lord ?" The Earl of CARDIGAN—" By my Peers." The Noble prisoner then took his seat on a stool within the bar, and his Grace the Lord High Steward removed to the table, preceded by Garter; Black Rod, and the Purse-bearer.as be fore, and his Grace being seated, Black Rod took his seat on a stool at a corner of the table, on his Grace's right hand, holding the staff, Garter on a stool on Black Rod's right, and the Serpant at the lower end of the table on the same side. Mr. WADDINGTON then opened the pleadings, stating the nature of the offence as set out in the indictment, and added- that the Noble prisoner had, for his trial, put himself upon their Lord ships, his Peers. The ATTORNEY-GXNERAL—My Lords, I have the honour to attend you as Attorney-General for her Majesty to lay before you the circum stances-4k t this case, .without any object or wish except that I may humbly assist your Lordships in coming to a right conclusion upon it, accord ing to its merits. My Lords, an indictment has been found against a Peer of the realm by the Grand Jury of the country, charging him with a felony, the punishment of which is transportation or imprisonment. My Lords, that indictment has been removed before your Lordships at the request of the Noble prisoner, most properly made, for an inferior Court had • • • no jurisdiction to try him. My Lords, upon a charge which upon the face of it so serious, it would not have been satisfactory if it had gone off without an inquiry ; and, my Lords, the police man who is upon this case bound over to prose cute, had fulfilled the conditions of his recogni zances by appearing at the Central Criminal court and preferring an indictment. My Lords, in the course of this trial it is possible that ques tions of great magnitude upon the construction of Acts of Parliament respecting the privileges of the Peerage may arise, which it is of great importance to this House, to the Crown, and to the community, should be deliberately discussed. My Lords, according to all the precedents that can be found, wherever there has been a Peer tried in Parliament the prosecution has been conducted by the law officers of the Crown. Fortunately, my Lords, we have no living me mory upon this subject. It is now sixty-four years since any proceeding of this sort has taken place ; and I am rejoiced to think, my Lords, that the charge against the Noble Prisoner at the bar does not imply any degree of moral turpitude, and that if he should be found guilty the conviction will reflect no discredit upon the illustrious order to which he belongs. But it seems to me that he clearly has been guilty of a breach of the statute law of the realm, which those in all Courts of Justice are bound to re spect and enforce. Your Lordships are not sitting here as a Court of Honour, or a branch of the Legislature. You are sitting as a Court bound by the rules of law, and under a sanction as sacred as that of an oath. My Lords, the indictment against the Earl of Cardigan is framed on an Act of Parliament which was passed in the first year of the reign of her present Majesty Queen Victoria. It charges the Noble Defendant with having fired a shot at Captain Harvey 'Puckett, with several intents which are stated in the indict ment. I think it but a duty that I owe to the accused oa this occasion, to remind your Lordships briefly of the state of the law on this subject. 1)y the common law of England when death da" not ensue, no personal - violence, however great, amounted to more than a misdemeanor, and if the person wounded did not die within a year and a day then no felony had been committed-. My Lords, the first Act of Parliament which created it a felony, where death did not ensue, was the sth of Henry IV., chap. 5, whereby the cutting a person so as to injure him, although death did not ensue, was made felony, with benefit of clergy. By the Coventry Act, passed in the 22d and 23d of Charles 11., any person lying in wait for, and wounding any person, with intent to maim or disfigure him, was guilty of felony, without bene fit of clergy. Under both of these Acts your Lordships will perceive that no offence was com mitted unless a wound was inflicted. But by the Act of the 9th of George 1., com monly called the " Black Act," the at tempt, even when no wound was given, was made felony. By that Act it was enacted that if any person should wilfully and maliciously shoot at any person in a dwelling house or other place, he should be considered guilty of felony without benefit of clergy. But I think it my duty in fairness to the Noble Prisoner, to remind your Lordships that unless the case was such that if death ensued, it would be a case of murder, no offence had been committed within the statute. My Lords, the law in this case has been very clearly laid down, in the case of " The King against Gastineau," which is reported in the Ist vol. of Leach's Crown Cases, p. 417. In that case the law is thus stated—the offence charged in the indictment is de scribed in this statute in few and clear words—it is enacted, " that if any per son shall wilfully and maliciously shoot at any person in a dwelling-house or other place, he shall be guilty of felony without benefit of clergy." The words "maliciously" and " wil fully" are made to constitute the essence of the crime. No act of shooting is within the meaning of the statute, unless accompanied by circumstances which would have made the crime murder if death had ensued in consequence of such act. The proposition is clearly laid down, but there must be clearly the intention of malice, and in no species of homicide can malice be argued except in murder; and therefore no accidental shooting, nor any shooting committed in the transport of passion, in which case, if death ensues, the crime is manslaughter only within the meaning of this statute. My Lords, things continued in this posi tion until the Act of the 43d Geo. 111., commonly called Lord Ellenborough's Act. This Act did not repeal the Black Act, but extended it to many cases which were not before felony. My Lords, by that Act it was enacted, that if any person should maliciously shoot at any person with intent to murder him, or with intent to maim, disfigure, or disable him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm, such person should be adjudged guilty of felony. But, my Lords, in this Act there is an express provision, that if supposing death had ensued, it would not amount to murdz,-r, then the person indicted shall be acquitted. My Lords, you will observe that by this Act of Parliament it is,made a capi tal offence to shoot at a person with intent to murder him, or to maim, or disfigure, or disable him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm; but the case is within the meaning of the sta tute, only' supposing that if death ensued the case would amount to murder. The next Act on this subject is the Act of the 9th George IV. cap. 31, which is generally called Lord Lansdowne's Act, because the Marquis of Lans downe was at that time Secretary of State for the Home Department, and lie had. introduced that Act into Parliament. It consolidates and amends the statutes relating to offences against the per son; it repeals the Black Act and Lord Ellen borough's Act; but it contains similar provisions to Lord Ellenborough's Act. By the 10th se&- tion it is enacted, " that if any person shall ma liciously shoot at any other person with intent to murder him, he shall suffer death as a felon." By the 12th section it is enacted, " that if he shall shoot at any person with intent to maim, disfigure, or disable him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm, he shall suffer death." It contains, however, the same provisions as Lord Ellenborough's Act, that, supposing death ensued in consequence, if the crime would not amount to murder, then Ithe person should be acquitted under this Aet. :But it was still a capital offence to shoot at any person with intent to maim, disfig ure, or disable_ him, or to do him some grievous bodilyfliarm. My Lords, things remaine d on this footing until, oting until, the Act was pass ed on which this n - dictment is founded. Thi s Act received the Royal Assent on the 17th of July, 1837. provision similar to Lord Ellenborough's Act or to the Act of 9th Geo. IV., and this is a circum stance most material for your Lordships to bear in mind in deliberating on the judgment you may have to come to on the third and fourth counts of the indictment. lam happy to say the indictment contains no count on the capital charge. A wound was inflicted, but the prosecutor has very properly restricted the charge to firing, without stating that any injury has been inflicted. The first count charges the shooting as having taken place with intent to . murder. The second count charges the same act with intent to maim and disable; and the third count with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. It will be for your Lordships to say whether the facts which I shall lay before you, and what I am instructed will prove clearly the act of shooting, are clearly made out; and. if so, whether the crime charged in the indictment is fully established. My Lords, the substance of the evidence is this, that upon the 12th day of September last the Earl of Cardifs,an, fought a duel with pistols, on Wimbledon Common, with Capt. Harvey Tuc kett, and wounded him at the second exchange of shots. My Lords, it will appear before your Lordships, that about five o'clock in the afternoon of that day two carriages were seen to come in opposite directions in the neighbourhood of Wimbledon Common, and a party alighted from each. It was evident to those who observedwhat was taking place that a duel was in contemplation. They came to a part of Wimbledon Common be tween the road that leads by Lord Spencer's park and the windmill standing on the top of the Common. The seconds first came upon the ground, and made the usual preparations. The principals, the Earl of Cardigan and Captain Tuckett, were then placed at a distance of about 12 yards from each other ; they exchanged shots without effect; they again fired, and Captain Tuckett was wounded. Mr. Dann, who occupies the mill to which I have referred, and his son, together with Sir James Anderson, a surgeon, who had been standing close by, came up almost immediately. The wound was examined—it bled copiously, but most fortunately—and no one, I believe, rejoiced at that more titan the Earl of Cardigan—it was not of a dangerous . nature. The parties were all removed by the miller (who was a constable, and took thdm into custody) to the nearest station. The wound was there further exa mined, and Sir James Anderson pressed that he• should be at liberty to take Captain Tuckett to his house in London, which was immediately' agreed to upon his promising to appear when re= covered from the effects of the wound before the Magistrates. The miller took the Earl of Cardi rrn a and his second, Captain Douglas, into ,cus tody. Captain Douglas was the second of the Earl of Cardigan, and Captain Wainwright, the second of Captain Harvey Tuckett. The Earl of Cardigan had still a pistol in his hand when the miller apprehended him. There were two cases of pistols on the ground—one with the crest of the Earl of Cardigan upon it, which he claimed as being his property. The other parties were conducted ti: fore the Magistrates stWandArorth, and upon that occasion the Earl of Cardigan made use of these words—" I have fought a duel, and hit my man—l believe not seriously." He then said, pointing to Captain Douglas, "This gentleman is also a prisoner, and my second." He was asked if the person he had hit was Cap tain Reynolds, to which he replied, "Do you think I would condescend to fight with one of my own officers ?" He was compelled by the . Magistrates to enter into recog nizances to appear when called for, which lie did from time to time, and at last the matter was sent to the Central Criminal Court. My Lords, the witnesses I shall bring before you are the miller, his wife, and his km, with a police man of the name of Dunnin g , who was at the sta tion, and will speak to the declarations of Lord Cardigan, and what there took place. I shall offer no evidence, and can offer no evi dence before your Lordships, respecting the origin of the quarrel. Captain Douglas is to take his trial. He, as your Lordships will observe, is jointly indicted with the Earl of Cardigan. A bill of indictment was preferred against Captain Tuckett and Captain Wainwright, it was thrown out by the Grand Jury; but they, as your Lordships well know, are still liable to be tried, and it would not be decorous that I should summon them before your Lordships to give evidence which might afterwards be turned against themselves, and prove that they were guilty of a felony. I will call before your Lord ships Sir James Anderson, who has hitherto spoken freely upon the subject, and I suppose will now make no objection to state to your Lordships all that fell within his ob servation. Now, my Lords, upon these facts it will be for your Lordships to say whether all the counts of the indictment are not fully proved and supported. With regard to, the first count, it is painful to use the language which the first count necessarily employs, but it will be for your Lordships to say whether, in point of law, the Earl of Cardigan did not shoot at Captain Tuckett, with intent to commit tha t crime which is there mentioned. My Lords, I at once acquit the Earl of Cardigan of anything unfair in the conduct of the duel. Something has been said about his Lordship's pistols having rifle barrels, and those of Capt. Tuckett not having rifle barrels. My Lords, however that may have been, I have the most firm con viction that nothing but what was fair and ho nourable was intended, and that the Earl of Car digan most probably imagined that when he car ried those pistols to the field with him, that one of them would be directed against his own person. Nor do I suppose, my Lords, that there was any grudge, any personal enmity, any rancour or malignity whatever, when his Lord ship gave or received the invitation. lam will ing to believe his only object was to preserve his reputation, and to maintain his station in society as an officer and a gentleman. His Lordship is in the army—he is a Lieutenant-Colonel a the 11th Hussars; and I have no doubt that he, upon this occasion, only complied with what he considered necessary to be done, according to the usages of society. But, my Lords, under those circumstances, and though, if death had ensued, it would have been considered a great calamity, although not morally a great crime, because high names have excused and even defended duels, yet your Lordships must consider by thet.,awdo,f land—my Lords--by the law of can be no doubt that the parties are uilty of rh i e lg t; duty rately to fight a duel, if death ens . leading 3- s a few of the to state to your Lordship the crime of murder. My Lords,iwtrwio:ill'in-b I will mention the authorities upon the subject. Hawkins, Foster, and Black- England.

It would, however, be but manslaughter if the parties did not act in cold blood, or if it could be concluded that their judgment had no control over the first transport of passion, before they engaged. Sir *William Blackstone, my Lords, in the 4th volume of his Commentaries, thus. writes—" This takes in cases of deliberate duel ings, when both parties met avowedly with in tent to murder." My Lords, he is then qualify ing cases which he considers to be murder ; and he says that in all cases " when the parties meet, it is to be considered as murder, thinking it their duty as, gentlemen, and claiming it as their right to wanton with their own lives, and those of their fellow-creatures, without any warrant or authority.from any power either Di vine or human, but in direct contradiction both to the law of God and man. And, therefore, the law has justly fixed the crime and punish ment of murder on them And on the second. also." My Lords, those are the highest authori ties known to the law of England, and those authorities have been unifinanly followed by English Judges. It was so in the case of Mirtin, in the Central Criminal Court, and •it was so in the case of Sir John Jefcott, which was tried before Mr. Justice Pat teson, one of the most learned Judges on the Western Circuit; and on that occasion his 'Lord ship laid down the same law in the most precise and authoritative terms. Such being the defini tion of murder to be found hi all our books of authority, and such being the definition con stantly given of it on the Bench in the cases of those who stood for trial, are not your Lordships to suppose that the Legislature makes use of the word murder iu the same sense, and. that when we find in the 9th George IV., and in this Act of the Ist Victoria, the expres sions " with intent to murder," that that means with intent to do that which, if accomplished, amounted, in point of law, to- the crime of mur dere? The Legislature when they passed those Acts must be taken—your Lordships must be taken—as giving a sanction to those—you must be taken to have well known what was the legal definition of murder, and to have used that expression, in these judicial.. Acts, in in; legal sense. Then, my Lords, how ever painful the consideration may be, does it not necessarily follow that the first count of this indictment is completely proved ? The cir cumstances, my Lords, clearly show that the Earl of Cardigan amt Captain Tuckett met by appointment, Lund i Cardigan—the ground being prepared—twice fired loaded pistols, taking de liberate aim, and hitting and wounding his anta gonist. lie ninst be supposed to have intended that which be did. If uefbrtunately death had ensued, would this have been a case of murder ? My Lords, tile only- supposition by which it could be reduced to manslaughter would be that the Earl of Cardigan and Captain Tuckett casually met on Wimbledon Common ; that they suddenly quarrelled, and that while their blood was hot they fought. But your Lordships can hardly strain the facts so far as to suppose that this was a Casual meeting while each was sup plied with seconds—while each had a bailee of pistols,and allwas canielucted according to the forms and solemnities observed when deliberate duels take place. Thee, may lairds, with regard to the second and-third counts of the indictment,. T know not what defence can possibly be suggested, lie cause even if there had been this casual meeting, contrary to all probability and all the circum stances of the case—if it would only, had death ensued, amount to the crime of manslaughter— would be no defence for the second and third counts of the indictment. My Lords, I pre sume to say so on the authority of a case which came before the fifteen Judges of England, and which was decided on—two most learned Judges doubting on that occasion, not dissenting. Those • two Judges were his Grace the Lord High Steward, and Mr. Justice Little dale. It would • not now become me to express the opinion which I entertain of the learning of his Grace, before your Lordships ; but of Mr. ills tice Littledale I will sety, that there never was a more learned or a more acute -Judge: The Bar of England have lately bid him adieu, and I know not whether we shall eve r see • a more learned • Judge on the Bench. I would therefore ascribe the greatest weight to doubts even in duel quarrels. But the other thirteen Judges entertained no doubts, and they came to the conclusion, on the 4th section of the Act of Parliament, that it was not necessary for conviction, that if death had ensued the crime would amount to murder. The case to which I refer is to be found in the second volume of Mudie's " Crown Cases of Reserve," vol. 2, page 40. The case was tried before Mr. Baron Parke, on the Norfolk Spring Cir cuit in 1838. It is entitled " anonymous." The name of the prisoner is not given, but the report seems very authentic, and it seems to be in the words of the case submitted by the Learned Judges for the opinion of their brethren. It will be found, my Lords, expressly in point. The opinion of the Judges was requested by Mr. Baron Parke and his colleague on two questions which arose on the Northern Circuit. It is the first only that is material here. The case recited the 9th George IV., and the Ist Victoria, and pointed out the circumstances that the Act of Queen Victo ria,t given, did not contain that same proviso with Lord Ellenborough's Act and Lord Lansdowne's Act. It submitted this question for the opinion of the Judges. Is it any defence to an indictment for wounding with intent to maim, that if death had ensued that offence would not be mur der, but manslaughter? Now, your Lord ships will observe that shooting •at with in tent to maim or disable, and stabbing with intent to maim or disable, are in the same punish ment, and must be attended with t same_ results. Phis, have the same category, are subject to the samreltmy Lords, would This, therefore, question submit ted d on bl a n indictmentl Y' authorityßaron Parke as for shooting at with intent .toat e, would,be ad. ensued, a defence to the crime would • not have amounted to en Easter Term, 1838, they all iit:adthbee whetherest no t : defence to such indict arguine en, but mounted the Juages—" At a meeting r is rd is e t r ile murder, -1- but to man show thnatts merit, that if death had ensued the offence would and rrh d Justice not dissent,L Littledale, dtiaileey, only not have s i at qliter, except,Lord Denman, the Chief thought o the ue rh t Judgesit Tdat doubted. The other thirteen Judges, seemed clearly to hold that that this would 'not amount doubted.jstc to any defence ; and I humbly apprehend they probably reasoned in this manner, that the in tention of the Legislature being to mitigate the penal code, and make those offences which be fore were capital now only punishable with trans portation, the quality of the offence was not to be precisely the same; and that if there were . maiming or disabling, or grievous bodily harm, done when there was a sudden quarrel in the heat of the blood without ,premeditation, that still it should not be an offence within the section of this Act of Parliament, which gave a discretionary power to the Court before which the offence is tried either to transport for fifteen years, or to imprison fo r a single hour. There fore those learned Judges, seeing the discre tionary power givenseeing the omission of • - a proviso —seeing it was no longer a capital offence, came to the • conclusion that the offence was committed, although if death . had ensued the crime would not have amounted to murder. Now, my Lords, in that case I know not what defence can possibly be at tenipted with regard to the second and third counts -of the indictment.
