R GEORGE ROBINS respectfully intimates to the Monied World, and more especially all those who Would invest permanently and securely, that in consequence of the T:444, reel, to st raightforward, and unequivocal declaration of Sir Robert the effect " THAT HE NEITHER HAS, NOR DOES HE CONTEM PLATE, ANY CHANGE WHATEVER IN THE CORN LAWS,' that duri ng the ensuing months he will submit to public Com Ottition, Estates of great promise, in several of the most favoured tounties throughout England, and exceeding in value ONE MILLION POUNDS STERLING. It MEY be desirable to observe that, since all doubt and uncer. ' 444 Y has disappeared, and Mr. R.'s public commentary of last Yea has been fully confirmed, viz., " THAT THE CORN BILL IS FIXED 4 ON AN IMMOVABLE ROCK OF SAFETY," n 'e9 with the great es t con fid ence en d ea vour to enlist the . 1 3 , attention of the great capitalists to a mere secure and ma doubtful employment in terra firma.

So far with • regard to the statement of ipse dixit, and not only because the same cir cumstance in several other cases in which it became neces sary to consider the law of conspiracy, and judicial opinion pronounced from the Bench severally, and given seriatim by each individual Judge, in which one and all concur in the Justice of the rule, and they pronounce the judg ment in their respective cases, ac c ording to their common opinion. The same rule is laid down before Lord Dennian's time by the late Lord Chief Justice of this Court. Ile also, in the Court of Queen's Bench, in this country, adopted the same rule in precisely the same terms. The only impute non that ever was cast—and it is the mistake into which M. Fitzgibbon fell—the only imputation that ever was cast by Lord Denman oo that rule, I will now advert to. The rule was cited in the progress of argument by (I think) a Mr. Carrington, a gentleman of the English bar. lie stated the rule to be as I have stated it to be—a conspiracy is either the agreement of two or more persons to procure to be done an unlawful act, or a lawful act to be done by unlaw ful means—and, says Lord Denman, " I doubt the correct ness of the argument." That is the whole of what Lord Denman says ; and which is brought forward and cited in this Court as giving judgment against all the concurrent deci sions of other Judges. Everybody knows Lord Denman to be a most learned and accurate scholar ; and what he meant by this expression was, that an exception might be taken. All the Judges in England before whom the question has ever since been rai'ed (it has occurred very frequently) have reiterated and restated the existence of the same rule, and have acted on it accordingly. Mr. Fitzgibbon, with a good deal of seriousness—perhaps I may say, solemnity—an nounced the law not to be such as I have stated ; and he found fault with his friend, Mr. Moore, who was for another traverser in the same interest with him, for having admitted the law as the Attorney-General had declared it. Ele said, with an earnestness to excite your attention, that that was not the law—that by the law as existing so long ago as the reign of Edward 1., nothing could be termed a conspiracy except by respecting any ether defraction but a certain one mentioned in an old Act of Parliament of that time. We learn from that it was said that nothing is a con spiracy except an unlawful association of men bound together by oath or other :legal obligation, for the purpose of im posing a false accusation on another man—it was something to this effect was said. Mr. Fitzgibbon then referred to a pas sage by way of pointing out the law as to conspiracy, but there would not necessarily have been been treachery if the law had been so stated as laid down by Hawkins, and taken from the old Act of Parliament of Edward 111. Mr. Fitzgibbon forget to add, that in two pages after that to which he referred, Mr. Kerwood, a gentleman of the bar, who published the last edition of Hawkins, records this passage—" Modern cases have certainly stretched the doctrine of conspiracy far beyond the old r sole of law." That was the observation when a case of conspiracy against two or more persons was brought for- ' ward. The offence was considered to consist in purposing by the combination of several persons to convict an innocent per son by a perversion of the law ; but, Gentlemen, it has been very eroperly stated that the ancient law has been extended far beyond the cases mentioned. I need not multiply instances in which that extension of the law has been established and acted on by courts of justice. It is by no means necessary that treachery or secrecy should form an ineredient in the erime of een,piracy as the law now stands. Now, Gentlemen , ha v ing told you to take the law from a certain report, and having explicitly shown what the law of conspiracy is, and what it is not, I forbear troubling you with such cases respect ing a subject in which I and the rest of my brethren concur in opinion. Having thus stated to you what it is the traversers are accused of, I think it will be right for me also to lay down a few other rules with regard to conspiracy, that you may afterwards see the proper beating of this case. In order to convict the traversers, or any of them, of the charge of conspiracy, it is necessary that you should be satis fied—l do not mean to say that you should have ground to sur mise, bat that you should have such evidence before you as would convince your consciences that the traversers, or some of thesis, did respectively and in common combine or agree to do an unlawful act, whether that act be unlawful in itself, in its original design, or whether it became so by the unlawful means by which it was agreed it should be brought about. That is one observation. Another observation is this—that, to constitute the crime of conspiracy, it is not necessary that the unlawful thing agreed to should be effected—the crime of conspiracy is co :1; letc, though, in point of fact, the criminal end was never obtained. 1 will also lay down this—that, if you aro satisfied that an unlawful agreement has taken place of the nature I have stated, either to do an act unlawful of itself, or cause it to be done by unlawful means, though the act itself, per se, should not be criminal; but if you be once sati.fied that such an agreement—a criminal agreement— has 1.14 en place, and from thenceforward the acts of each one associating in that conspiracy are, respectively, evidence against the other, if conducive to the same criminal ata, though it be not proved that each and all of the several con spirators have either participated in each individual act, or though it be not proved that each and every of the several traversers charged with the conspiracy have been guilty of the perpetration of any particular act towards the common illegal end. I will go further, Gentlemen, and lay down another rule for you:—" It is not necessary"—and I am now using the language of a very eminent English Judge, its one of the late vials, which took place in 1837, in giving his ciia.rge to the jury—" It is not necessary that it should be proved that the several parties charged with a common conspiracy met to concoct this scheme, nor that they should have originated it. Who the parties were who met to concoct the illegal agreement, it is not necessary should be absolutely proved to you ; it is enough for you to see whether, from the eete tee:, h eae seen oesese e, yet , are aattsneu chat those defendants were acting in concert in this matter. If yuu are satisfied that there was a con cert between them (that is, an illegal concert), I am bound to say, that being convinced of the conspiracy, it is not necessary that you should find both the traversers doing each particular act, as, after the fact of the conspiracy is once established in your minds , whatever is either said or done by either of the defendants, in pursuance of the com mon design, is both in law and common sense to be considered the act of both." I will lay down another rule which you will also bear in mind, as bearing, perhaps, more particularly upon the instance of the Rev. Mr. Tierney than any body else. It is not necessary that it should be proved that those defendants went to concoct this scheme, nor is it necessary that they should have originated it. It is said of Mr. Tierney that he did net join the Association until the 241 of October. If a conspiracy be already formed, and a party joins it afterwards, he is equally guilty—certainly he is equally guilty if he adopts the already formed conspiracy, as it then stood. Ido not by any means impugn the doctrine of Judge Coleridge, in the general way in which he laid down that proposition ; but you have to decide the question :whether or not Mr. Tierney, who does nut appear to have joined the Association until the 2d of Oc tober, is or is not to be visited with the previous acts of that Association. I would put this to you on that subject—did he adopt those acts when he joined that Association ? You will recollect this, that almost all the charges of crime for which the several traversers are here upon their trial, as imputed to them, were, for the most part, committed before the 2d of October, 1843. The general way in which Judge Coleridge has laid down the proposition which I have read to you, would, as a matter of course, involve the party in the previous guilt who had not joined the Association till elate time. If you are se ti-fied !hat he (:Ir. Tierney) did join them, did he at that time adept the Association as it then stood, with all its acts and eri iali ties, if such existed, as they then did exist ? I might as well hare make that observation with regard to Mr. Tierney, because 1 tint, on reading the judgment of judge Coleridge in this case of the Queen v. Murphy, that I might make what I may call a qualification—l do not mean of what Judge Coleridge has said— but in this case I should prefer now leaving it to you to consider and pronounce whether or not the qualification ap plies to the Rev. Mr. Tierney. Now, we come to the ques tion of the traversers at large. I hope you have taken down those observations which I laid clown to you with regard to the law of conspiracy. Before 1 go into the observations in this particular case, I would like to read you some ob servations from an authority quoted by Mr. Shell, and which I will adopt as my own; it is from the case of the King against Kirwan—Mr. Peter Burrowes was counsel for the defendant. I fully concur with regard to the statements which have been made concerning that most eminent man. This observation, which I shall read to you, is not inapplicable to the present case. In page 203, in his address to the jury, he says—" That to ass.ime such a right as to represent the people, or any part of them, would be an encroachment on the exclusive pre rogative of the House of Commons, and that any person who should exercise the function, legislative or judicial, would be guilty of a high misdemeanour." Now, Gentle men, I fully subscribe to that position. These are sound con stitutional principles, thus inculcated by an eminent man and constitutional lawyer. He is no more now, but he has left these behind. Mr. Shell—and I thank him for it—has referred to this speech in his very able speech, ne doubt as having his assent to the principles in culcated by this eminent man. What is the law and the circumstances which we are called upon to bring into judgment? The law as its exists—the law as it has existed for the last forty-three years—the law which her gracious Majesty is by her coronation oath bound and sworn to main tain? Gentlemen, I will read you the coronation oath, at least part of it, as I and in Blackstone's Commentaries, page 243 :—" The Archbishop or Bishop shall say Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the people of this kingdom of England and the dominions attached thereto be longing according to the Statutes in Parliament agreed on and the laws and customs ofgthe same ?' The Queen or King shall say, I solemnly promise and swear.'" This, Gentlemen, is the coronation oath. Now, with regard to this country and its connection with Great Britain, are the Statutes which she bath sworn by her coronation oath to abide by, administer, and preserve, applicable to this country. We have heard a monstrous deal of assertion—we have heard a monstrous deal of declamation —we have a monstrous deal of complaint of grievances—and we have heard a great deal of what the law ought to be. We have heard you called upon to decide whether such a law ought to continue, as if you had any power on the subject at all. The law of the realm as it stands and is settled by the Act of Union, until that Act is repealed, is the only law you can take into your consideration on the subject. This is the Act which the Queen, by her coronation oath, has sworn to preserve; and it is idle to say that the Queen, if she thinks proper, may depart front this law, and call a Parliament of her own in Ireland, supposing her own desire accorded with the people, and sot up a new law and new constitution for this country, in direct violation of the Act of Union, which I shall now state to you. This is the Act, the 40th George 111., ea 38:— " An Act fur the Union of Great Britain and Ireland:— " Whereas, in pursuance of his Majesty's most gracious recommendation to the two Houses of Parliament in Great Britain and Ireland respectively, to consider of such measures as might tend to strengthen and consolidate the connexion between the two kingdmns, the two Houses of Parliament of Great Britain and the two Houses of Parliament of Ireland have severally agreed and resolved that, in order to promote and secure the esential interests of Great Britain and Ireland, and to consolidate the strength, power, and resources of the British empire, it will be advisable to concur in such measures as may best tend to unite the two kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland into one kingdom, in such manner, and on such terms and conditions, as may be established by the acts of the respective Parliaments of Great Britain and Ireland." There is the recital of the national compact called the union of the two countries of (Great Britain and Ireland, and sanc tioned by their respective Legislatures in the same solemn way in which the Act of Union between Great Britain and EXAMPLES, Policy. ,„ Q Annual Bonus Cash Prem.

THE STATE TRIALS. TWENTY-THIRD DAY. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-FRIDAY. THE QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND OTHERS. • The Court met at ten o'clock this morning, when the Solicitor-General proceeded with his address, and after com menting on speeches made by Mr. O'Connell at other meet ings, concluded by expressing his conviction that the jury weld feerlessly do teeir duty. He concluded at one o'clock, when the Court retired for a quarter or an hour. On the Judges taking their seats the utmost silence prevailed. The CIIIEF JUSTICE then spoke as follows :—Gentlemen of the jury, it falls to my lot to make such observations as it occurs to me necessary to submit to your consideration in reference to this important case ; and I am happy to say that, on conference with my brethren, I find there is a perfect con currence of opinion among us as to the subject matter to be laid before you. Gentlemen of the jury, it has been, and is highly satisfactory to the Ccurt, and highly creditable to you, that :a great deal of attention, I may say constant and unremitting attention, has been paid by the jury throughout this strange and most important case— strange as regards its duration, and important as regards the consequences. Gentlemen, you have heard during this long trial a good deal of eloquence—brilliant eloquence ; you have heard somewhat also of declamation—you have witnessed great oratorical powers, and powers of reasoning—you have heard a great deal of what might be deemed poetic, and I do not mean to say but you have also heard a good deal of what may be more justly termed prosaic ; but, Gentlemen, you have heard observations made to you which I cannot help saying ge nerally bordered on the very verge of propriety. But, what is wore material, you have heard a great deal which it would be difficult indeed to say was properly relevant to the subject that you are to consider. There are many questions to be con sidered, both of law and of fact. On the latter subject you are the constitutional judges. You are to determine and come to a just conclusion upon the facts. The law of the case you will take from the Court, the Judges of which are constitutionally enteusted with the administration of that law, and bound to administer it under the most solemn sanctions, and independent alike both of the Crown and the people. Ve, the Judges, therefore, sit in this Court of Queen's Bench, having the same obligations that the Queen holds to administer justice with mercy according to the laws of the land. Gentlemen, there are, as you know, eight traversers now upon their trial—Mr. Daniel O'Connell, Mr. J. O'Connell, Mr. Thomas Steele, Mr. T. M. Ray, Mr. C. Gavan Duffy, the Rev. Thomas Tierney, Mr. or Dr. John Gray, arid Mr. R.chard Barrett. These are, Gentlemen, the several traversers upon their trial ; and here is an abstract of the indictment upon which they are charged, and to which they have respectively pleaded " Not guilty." They are indicted for conspiring to raise and create discontent and disaffection amongst the Queen's subjects. It will be very material for you to keep in mind, in coming to your verdict, the difficulty of dis tinguishing between the several traversers in respect of the nature of the conspiracy charged against one and the other of them. The first charge, then, is for conspiring to raise and create discontent and disaffection among the Queen's subjects, and to excite them to hatred and unlawful opposition to the government and constitution of the realm. The second is, conspiring to stir up jealousies among the Queen's subjects, and to promote in other subjeets of the Queen, especially with regard to Ireland against England. The third is, to excite disaffection in the army. The fourth is, to collect unlawful assemblies in large numbers in Ire land, in order to obtain a change in the laws and Constios ; tion, by intimidation and demonstration of force. The fifth is, to bring the courts of justice, established by law, into dire plate, and with the intention to induce the subjects of her Majesty to submit their disputes to other tribunals ; and to induce the Qteen's subjects to withdraw the settlement of their disputes from the tribunals by law established, and to re sort to other modes of adjudication. The first count in the in dictment contains the several charges of the conspiracy that I have adverted to, accompanied with divers and several overt acts, by ntcat.n of which there objects were to be carrie.l .oto effect. The overt acts are not part of the conspiracy, but they are inserted in the counts of the indictment as statements of the evidence by which those charges of conspiracy are to be sup ported. They are so for the laudable purpose of giving the parties who are accused of the conspiracy notice of the parti cular facts by which the Crown intend to support their charge. These overt acts are only evidence when the question i 3 not so much as to the exhibition of the particular overt acts men tioned, as to the conspiracy of which they are called in evi dence. You will have to say not whether the overt acts did take place, but whether the parties accused are guilty of the conspiracy. You will find it very necessary that you should have a very clear and distinct idea of the particulars of the alleged conspiracy. The first count of the indietrneut charged them with endeavouring to excite among the Queen's subjects an unlawful opposition to the Government and the constitution ; secondly, to stir up jealousy among the Queen's , übj cts, and to excite among various classes of her Majesty's subjects, especially those in Ireland against those in England; thirdly, to excite disaffection in the army ; fourthly, collecting together large assemblies in order to obtain changes in the law and constitution by intimidation and an exhibition of physical force ; and lastly, to bring the courts of justice, esta tiliAied by law, into disrepute. Now, it is a conceded fact that the indictment on which the traversers are brought to trial consists only of an offence of one nature—that is to ;ay, it may have different branches which, in this case, it has ; yet still the whole is an indictment for a conspiracy, and for nothing else. There is no indictment against any of the tra versers for sedition, nor for any other separate and distinct breach of the law. They are all, one and all, indicted for the crime of conspiracy; they cannot be convicted, unless it be proved to your satisfaction that they have been acting on the illegal charge set forth against them in concert with some other persons and individuals—unless they have acted in this concert, they are not guilty of conspiracy, though they may be of a numerous class of other offences. For a con viction of conspiracy the law requires that the jury should be satisfied that there was a consent either for the purpose of doing an illegal act, or doing, or cansing to be done an act legal in itself, but to be brought about by illegal means, Gentlemen, I think that to be the defini tion of conspiracy according to law, and which I am bound to put before you. You see in that definition Ido not include as a component part of the crime of conspiracy either the ex istence of treachery, as it was insisted on by Mr. Fitzgibbon, on the first day of his address, nor of secresy, which was in sisted on by him on the second day that he addressed you, and which was afterwards reiterated and repeated by Mr. O'Con nell, one of the traversers, who addressed you in his own de fence, which he had a perfect right to do, when he stated his case to you. In my opinion, and in the opinion of this Court, it is a mistake in law to say that to establish conspiracy it is necessary for the Crown to 'prove the existence of either treachery or secresy in order to complete the charge. I do not say it is contrary to it. It very often happens that both treachery and secresy concur in the existence of various conspiracies ; they are cognate to such any offence. But. I deny aliogether that it is the law of this coun try that the existence of either one or the other ingredient should be proved in order to constitute the critce of conspiracy. Seeresy is very often involved in it; bnt, in my opinion, it is not a necessary ingredient. I say there arc crimes like the present—by saying that, I do not mean to anti cipate —no, God forbid ! but, if secresy were a necessary ingre dient in the crime of conspiracy, the present charge might have been carried on, and the parties could not have been stopped in their progress. A great many authorities were cited by Mr. Fitzgibbon in his argument, both on the first day, when he insisted on the existence of treachery, and on the second day, when he insisted on another alternative, the exist ence of secrecy. I have looked into those authorities, and I am hound to say that they do not support the propositions which he brought forward. I would say further, that I was much surprised at the statement which he made with regard to some of the eases to which lie referred as if they contained any ground for the introduction of sueli a proposition. I have looked carefully over them all, and, without troubling you with a recapitulation of those several cases, I am bound to say, that in my judgment, and in the opinion of the Court, there is not ono of them which does support the proposition for which they were cited—that in order to substantiate the charge of conspiracy either treachery or secresy was necessary. The definition of conspiracy I have already stated to you, as we hold the law, to be the mutual consent of two or more to bring about, by concert or design, an end illegal in itself, or an end abstractly legal in itself, but to be brought about by illegal means. That, you will see, includes within it, wherever they exist, the charge of treachery or the charge of secresy ; but yet those are not necessary ingredients in a conspiracy. But Mr. Fitzgibbon insisted that the definition I have given conspiracy has been found fault with, or over ruled in a case to which he refers, by Lord Denman, the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in England, that person, who, is alleged to have first introduced the definition of conspiracy such as I now lay it down to you. I beg leave to say to Mr. Fitzgibbon, it does not appear that Lord Denman ever did any such thing ; and, moreover, that the reason or definition which Lord Denman had givan in one place, afterwards had been the rule and definition adopted and followed, wit only by Lord Den man, but by a variety of successive Judges, in the different Courts of England, giving judicially their judgments on the subject. Mr. Fitzgibbon said that Lord Denman, in the case in which he had laid down that rule, did not act judicially ; and he said that what he did say was either obiter dictum or ipse dixit, the term ()biter diction is that he made it in considerately, or necessarily determined it; ipse dixit, his own personal opinion, unsupported by anybody else; these are the meanings of his words. It so happened in the case to which he referred, the case in which the rule was originally mentioned by Lord Denman, let Adolphus and Ellis, he not only did not lay down that rule extra-judicially, as ()biter dictum, nor unsupported by other judgments, but he stated that rule judicially. The very founda tion of his judgment, and given in the mast deliberate manner, was so far from being unsupported by the opinion of the other Judges in the Court of Queen's Bench, that all concurred in • G REAT LEAGUE MEETING, TftEATRE ROYAL COVENT-GARDEN. t i,e USUAL WEEKLY MEETING of the NATIONAL ANTI CORN-LAW LEAGUE will be held in the Theatre Royal Covent garden, on TIIURSDAT EVENING NEXT, the 15th of February.

SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists, 39, Albemarle.street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, have in. vented Spectacle Lenses, &c., of the greatest transparent power— immediately these newly invented Spectacle!: Lenses are placed before extremely imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light, that mist and dullness which appear before the eyes are at once removed, every object becomes clear and distinct, vision becomes preserved and strengthened, and very aged people are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute oocupation, and can see with hose Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor will they re f. tuire the frequent changes to further helps, as the Spectacles now in common use, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state; those objects being accomplished is a matter of mush deeper consequence than can be imagined. All kinds of newly invented INVISIBLE ACOUSTIC IN. which enable individuals at an advanced age, and of forty and fifty years' standing of extreme deafness, instantly to join in goneral conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at church, theatre, &c. It pours the conversation into the ears to such an extent that in most severe cases deafness cannot be observed. Also the most powerful newly invented ACHROMATIC OPERA-GLASSES, which are invaluable on the race-course, as well as at the theatre, &c. The Telescopes for the waistcoat pocket possess extraordinary great powers for shooting and sea purposes, and with stands for astronomical observations, with the celebrated Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy. The powers are so great over all others, and the Lenses so bright and brilliant, that the most minute objects, at an extraordinary dis tance, are brought completely under the eyes.

In pass ing the Act of Union the kingdom of Great Britain ceased to exist, and the kingdom of Ireland ceased to exist; and instead of these two there was formed one united kingdom, under the style and title of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It was not that there should be one King having thereafter two kingdoms for his dominion, but one King having one kingdom ; and to say that the King or Queen of Ireland may be treated as the King or Queen of a separate kingdom, this is absurd—seditious. Until the law be al tered by the proper authority—and I don't say that it may not—but while the law remains as it is—and it has been en during the whole of the year 1813 and the preceding years which have intervened since the enactment of the Act of Union—there is one King over this kingdom, incapable by himself of treating with any class of his subjects, except through; the Legislature, with regard to a new constitution or new laws, with respect to any part of the United Kingdom. I say, moreover, that whichever of his subjects would take upon himself to ineuleate—to proclaim among the subjects of this part of the United Kingdom that he or any body else abstracted from the Legislature the power, either separately or by himself, or jointly by himself and a portion of the inhabitants of this part of the United King dom, that ke or they, independently of the Legislature, had a power of treating with the Queen for an abro gation of the existing law, and to put in its place a new law, such as we heard suggested, is guilty of a great offence—he is guilty of the crime of sedition. Scotland as well as England area party to this Act of Union, as appears from the third ar ticle of union. The Judges of our Courts are bound to admi nister the law as they find the law constructed by the proper authorities, and arc sworn to preserve the law, to administer justice according to that law, and we have no power, if we had the disposition, to take upon ourselves—nor have you, Ge tle men of the jury, to take upon yourselves—the power of altering that law which had been passed by the King, the Lords, and the Commons of the country, as by law established. It would be productive of wildness, anarchy, and confusion, if every man, or set of men, abstractedly from Parliament, were permitted to say " we do not like this law as passed by our Legislature—we think it was not properly passed—we think there were reasons which should prevail against it, and therefore we are net bound in conscience to obey it." Any man who would in culcate that doctrine publicly, is guilty of sedition ; it is not for us, or for you, or any set men, or any individuals abstracted from Parliament, to take that power and responsibility on themselves. The law permits it to nobody except the lawful Legislature of the country, which consist of the Queen, Lords and Commons, as settled by the Act of Union. Then, Gentle men, the fourth article goes on to regulate the number of re presentatives, Lords spiritual and temporal, and the repro.. sentatives of the House of Commons, which should thencefor ward be returned and sit in these re.pective Houses—sc many for Ireland, so many for England, and so many for Scotland.. It provided all these essential articles of agreement on the basis of which these three great countries, England, Scot and, and Ireland agreed to together to become one great empire, under the denomination of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. I need not go over the other articles which regulate other matters thus formed between the two parties—all these have been duly e nu merate d ; an d t h ese: articles being recited in the Bth article, the whole were de clared to be the Articles of the Union of Great Britain and Ireland, and the same shall be enforced and be in effect fur ever from the Ist January, l&11. That Act was, of course carried into effect. This is the law announced and ratified by the King, the Lords, and the Commons of both countries, I AM that is to be for ever the law of the land—what her Majesty the Queen, by her coronation oath is sworn to preserve; and let no man presume to attempt an alteration in this law by illegitimate or violent means—by threats of violence—or other such shifts which may be resorted to. Re collect the doctrine of that constitutional lawyer, Mr. Bur rowes, that " the omnipotence of the Legislature must De ad ministered in any regular state." Mr. Shiel required me, when I should charge you in this case, to advert to the doc trine of Baron Alderson, in his charge to the grand jury in the case of the Queen against Vincent, given in a volume of Carrington and Payne's Reports, page 93. [Having stated the case, his Lin ilship.thus proceeded ;I—Now, Gentlemen of the jury, there is the constitutional laws as laid down by this very eminent constitutional lawyer, Baron Alderson, than whom nos man was more highly respected and esteemed. Mr. FIT ZG IBBON—The parties were acquitted of the ebarge. The Celli's JUSTICE—Yes, but that is not what Baron Al derson said. What I was indeed going to observe was this, that I fully concur with Baron Alderson, both as regards his charge to the grand jury and his charge to the petty jei y. Now it is no crime for a man to state a grievance ; it is no crime for a man to make a mistake with regard to his political posi tion, in respect to the alleged grievance ; he has a right freely to communicate his sentiments on the grievance to his fellows similarly circumstanced. He has a right to make the communication, not merely to his friends or fellows, but to strangers; he has a right to make his complaints wherever he goes, should he think proper to do so, even if he should attend a public meeting, however large, the 'floe fact of its being a public meeting is no reason why a man who has a grievance, or thinks he has, should not attend that meeting, making a statement of what he conceives he has a right to complain of, and so, on the principle of free discussion, en.'ea your to get by peaceable means as many advoca!es in support of his alleged grievances as he can procure. That is the mo rality of the law as stated by Baron Alderson, and concerning which he said, " God forbid the country should ever be without it," and so say I, too. But, in order to disseminate these grievances, he must take care not to infringe upon the rights and privileges of others, and he is the more bound to be ea e;ixl as to the effect of what he does, if the assemblage which he at tends is assembled and congregated in such masses and multi tudes, as to excite terroe and alarm amongst the neigh bouring people, or amongst those who are bound to watch over and preserve the peace and constitution of the country. If lie goes with arms, it is the more likely that the law will be infringed; but if he goes without arms—which is the case always here—it does nut, therefore, follow that that meeting Las been lawful. Ido not ::can c.. say that the mere atten,ting meeting is unlawful en the contrary, the mere attending a meeting, however large and numerous it may be, if no breach of the peace be committed, nor a tendency to a breach of the peace, at the time or immediately ensuing the meeting, I do not mean to say that so attending a meeting, under such circumstances will be necessarily unlawful—l do not mean to say that it would be necessarily lawful. I shall explain that. But there is nothing in the mere fact of the asemblage of the people that ren ders that an illegal act. Now, in order to make a meeting un lawful it would not be necessary that in point of fact the peace should be broken. It does not follow that because there is no breach of the peace the parties attending the meetings are not guilty of the offence of exciting terror and alarm among her Majesty's subjects. If meetings to which parties went unarmed have been attended with demonstrations of physical force that would reasonably have excited fear, terror, or alarm, amongst the peaceable subjects of her Majesty, they are illegal whether they consist or not of an unarmed mass. A multitude of per sons assemble, and if persons are alarmed and terrified by that multitude so assembled, by the terror so caused, they would be shown to have been an illegal assembly, and for whatever terror the parties so assembling would be answerable. But it is not necessary that that should have been the state of things in order to make that an unlawful assembly. Suppose the parties all went to those great meetings, in ever such great masses and multitudes—suppose they went without arms— suppose they conducted themselves with great propriety—sup pose no breach of the peace was committed—and suppose there was no tendency to a breach of the peace ; all these facts miAlit concur towards the establishment of the innocence of that meeting, but, Gentlemen of the jury, that meeting might have been an illegal assembly, and every party who we9Wo that meeting might be convicted, if they concurred in the oUjects of 'the meeting. Suppose the object of collecting those hundreds and thousands of persons was not for the purpose of corn mitting a breach of the peace—suppose it had an ulterior and more remote object—suppose it was for the purpose, not of terrifying the neighbours by what was done, or in tended to be done, by the persons assembling at that meeting—but suppose that the persons who had collected that mass and multitude together, did so for the purpose of making a demonstration of immense force and s hy sical power, guided and actuated by the will and command of the person who had caused that multitude to assemble—sup pose they had no intention of disturbing the peace, but that they met for the purpose of exhibiting to those with whom they had to do, to those who were the legal legislators of the country, and that his object in calling all those people together—his object ira assembling, dispersing, and calling them, was to do that with the greatest passible notoriety. suppose he did it in the open cla:, when all the world could see and hear him, and that his object was to overawe the Legislature, who are likely to have to consider certain political subjects in which he was interested, and for the purpose of deterring the Legislature and the Government of the country from a free, cool, and deliberate judgment on the subject— if that were his object in causing and pro curing that demonstration, then, Gentlemen, I say, that that is an illegal object in him and in all who concur and agree with him in the procuring of such means. I have not ventured to say that I suppose that any of the traversers are yet proved to be guilty, but I am merely explaining to you what I take to be the clear and incontestiblc law on this subject. I admit to the fullest extent the principle of full and free discusion—of the cool and deliberate consideration of any given subject. I admit that warm arguments might be used in support of every thing advanced—they might not only be admissible but abso lutely necessary for the information of all who were present, and for enabling them to come to a conclusion as to the course which they should advise her Majesty to take with regard to the subject under consideration. I should be glad to know if the Parliament of the country, the Queen's Ministers, or those who are interested in the management of State affairs, are they to be the only persons in the country who are not to have the benefit of free discussion—the benefit of fair, open, and impartial deliberation ? Are they to be influenced and led astray by intimidation, and fear, and demonstrations of physical.force? If they think proper in their judgment to come to a difference of opinion on this or that political subject, arc they the only persons who are not to have the advantage of free and full discussion ? Arc they to be told this—" Here are hun dreds of thousands of fighting men; they are all peaceable; there is no breach of the law ; they coalesce with no illegal bodies; they are warned and advised to keep out of secret societies ; they have been guilty of no breach of the law ; they have not appeared in arms, but they are the finest pea santry in the world; they stand No. 1 in the class of nations. Differ from me if you like ; but take care that, at the first step you make, these masses that are now dissolving at my com mand, like the snow under my feet, will re-assemble at my call, and then what will be the step that you take? Take care of that !" If you be of opinion that their object was not what they profess, to consider a grievance —to di s cus s w hi c h, i n order to lay a petition before that Parliament, the legitimacy) of whose existence they are denying—if you believe that Qat was not the object, but on the contrary, that it was for the purpose of procuring by intimidation and overawing of the councils of the Legislature, an alteration in the govern ment of the State. I am of opinion that that latter object was unlawful—and if more than one concurred in pursuing it by unlawful means—they are guilty of the act. of conspiracy. I have already said, Gentlemen of the jury; that the doing of such things by one is not enough to prove a conspiracy ; there must be the concurrence of two el more. Before we go to the consideration of particular causes, I will make some further observations which seem to me to apply to the case of all. The traversers are persons who conscientiousx entertain the opinion that repeal is best suited to the exigencies of this country. They say that perhaps on that account they • have grievances. I will not now enter into the a llegation which is put forward, and with which this Court wasb wich occu pied for several days, as to the grounds and the means c t o w in o men coneur p fenhe t s h in e ce A t c h t e of L o U rd n s ion an vi d 'as com carz o i n ed s . of It tf!o is their that Act of Parliament ; and by. forty,;othurntriyeesarsasasgedo force, and is in force in the Act of Union has continue in this year.
