SAILING UNDER FALSE COLOURS !1 THE BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH hereby CAUTIONS the PUBLIC against the numberless Pills sold under fictitious names and titles, which have sprung into existence since Mr. Morison's work appeared. The parties who put forth such pills (sailing under false colours), take the name of some eminent person not in existence, and then most fraudulently make extracts from Mr. Morison's work, which they put into their bills in order to obtain a sale for their pills. It is, therefore, against such a nefarious practice that Messrs. Morison deem it their duty and inte rest to warn the public, being determined that the Hygeian Theory of Medicine, as introduced by James Morison, the Hygeist, shall not be made a vehicle to such fraud and imposture. MORISON and CO., Hygeists. British College of Health, Hamilton-place, New-road, July, 1844. N.B. We would advise the public, should they feel inclined to patronise such pills, to be cautious in making inquiries as to who the Proprietors of such medicines really are. The practice of adopt ing the Hygeian theory with an inefficient or improper medicine, of course tends to bring that theory into disrepute. PUBLIC NOTICE. 434, OXFORD-STREET.

NEWSPAPER FRAUDS.—A man of very shabby ex terior, who said his n ame was O s b orne , was b roug ht b e f ore the Brighton bench of magistrates on Thursday, charged by Mr. Bacon, the proprietor of the Sussex Advertiser, with ob- -7 • The LORD CallecELLoit—lt does not matter, because if the - point - is - good 'for one, it is good for all. I only wished to inquire who you represented. Mr. KELLY then proceeded with his argument, and contended that if the provisions of the Act had been intended to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench that court would have been expressly named, and quoted the case of the " King v. Richards," 6th Barnewall and Cresswell, p. 420, in support of this branch of his argu ment. Now, what were the words of the A c t, "That, in all cases of indictment the clerk of the Crown at the as sizes, and the clerk of the peace at the quarter sessions, shall endorse on the back of the indictment the names of the witnesses, and send them to the grand jury." To what grand jury ? Why, of course to the grand jury at the assizes, or to the grand jury at the sessions ; and the foreman or other member of the grand jury so empanelled shall swear such witnesses. Now it was contended that the words " grand jury so empanelled " meant any grand jury in Ireland. How could that be so ? What grand jury could be meant but the grand jury at sessions or assizes ? It was true there were general words in the introductory portion, but those words were limited by the words of the 56th section, in which there was no mention made of the Court of Queen's Bench. There was a proviso that no foreman of any grand jury should examine a witness whose name was not indorsed on the back of the indictment by the clerk of the Crown, or the clerk of the peace, respectively. And, however general the words might be in the introductory portion of the Act, here was a new and entire provision, pointing out the mode and the object to be attained bait clean and specific manner. He would advert to an answer which had been given by the court below. In order to extend the provisions of the words " clerk of the 'Crown at the assizes," and " clerk of the peace at the quarter sessions," to all officers of that character, it seemed to have been thought by, Some Of the judges that because such a construction was giVen.to ancient statutes, such a construction should also be given to , modern statutes, and they referred to,the statute. circumspicite agatis, 'but that statute was set aside in the case of Wilson v. Nadley, 7th East, p. 127. The LORD CHANCELLOR said be did not think, the judges below had relied on the ancient meaning the statutes. Mr. Justice Perrin distinctly, and in words, threw such a doctrine overboard. Mr. KELLY said he was glad to be relieved from ar guing that, but it was in his recollection that Chief Justice Pennefather referred to it. If it were the in tention of the Legislature that in all cases of indictment throughout Ireland the grand jury should administer the oathinstead of the . Court of Queen's Bench, it would have been, very *easy for the Act of Parlia ment to say so. Upon these grounds he submitted that this statute did not apply_to the Court of Queen's Bench, in Dublin, at all ; but he ,submitted, at all events, with confidence, that it was of the very essence of those criminal proceedings under, and according to this..new Act Of Parliament, that whether the witnesses were sworn in by the grand jury or in open court, it should be certified that they were sworn, and it should appear on the back of the bill that the Act of Parliament was complied with in this respect. It was necessary that the Act of Parliament should be strictly complied with. It was not complied with in this respect, and on this ground also he submitted that the judgment should be reversed. With regard to the remaining points in this case, which had been so fully gone through. by his Learned Friend, Mr. Peacock, and first, with regard to the point of repugnance in the finding of the jury, it would appear from ,this finding that eight persons, leaving out the deceased, were indicted for a conspiracy with each other to do certain unlawful acts ; seven per sons were found guilty of that conspiracy, and of the whole of that conspiracy, in the largest and most em phatic language which could be used in finding persons guilty of the entire offences charged against them ; seven were found guilty of conspiring with each other and the eighth : then came the finding that the eighth person was not guilty of the whole premises ;• that was, not guilty of conspiring with them ; so that upon the record there was this repugnance, that seven persons were found guilty of conspiring with each other and with the eighth, and the eighth was not found guilty of con spiring with the others. (The Learned Gentleman then went on to argue the point respecting the continuances, but their Lordships seemed to take a different view,frora him upon the point.) He would next contend, that the Court below should have pronounced judg ment on the points upon which the defendants were found not guilty. This was necessary in order to secure the .defendents from another indictment. There could be no doubt that this was not a complete and per fect jadgment, and he contended that their Lordships could not amend it. Then, with regard to the reeogni sauces, which were fully entered into by his Learned Friend, Mr. Peacock, he would contend that the judgment was bad, because the time at which the recognisancos were to be entered was uncertain. It was uncertain whether they were to be entered into at the beginning or the termination of the sentence. He sub mitted that, on this ground likewise, the judgment was bad. There was but one more point which he would advert to, and, having already occupied so much of their Lordships' time, he should not feel justified in doing so, did he not feel a confident opinion that the point was of the • highest importance to all the defendants. He meant the objection with regard to the challeng e of the array. It was required by Act of Parliament that the juries in Ireland should be selected in the particular form prescribed by Act_ of Parliament, and it was of the highest importance that juries should be fairly and impartially selected, in order to give security to the subject.- But their Lordships were aware, and from the facts brought fOward, it was perfectly manifest, that the Act of Parliament had not been complied with here, and that those parties had been tried by a jury.in whom there could be no manner of confidence, they not being chosen or selected as the law required. It was evident that a jury-list from which the special jury and the jury panels were made out had been fabricated by some persons unknown for an' unlawful and injurious purpose, and that from this list so fabricated the jury had, been chosen which tried the defendants. It might - be that any stranger who was badly disposed towards the defendants had forged and fabricated the list from beginning to end, and it was complained that this was to the injury and damage at least of ,one of the defendants. Their Lordships would not permit the provisions of an important Act of Parliament under which the jurors were chosen, who were to try a man, it might be for his life, to be violated, but they would require it to be strictly complied with. He submitted to their Lordships upon this ground, as upon all the other grounds mentioned in the course of the argument, that the defendants not having had that to which every British subject was entitled, in every trial civil or criminal—that is, mit having had a fair trial by law—were entitled to claim the benefit of the error upon the record, and to submit to their Lordships that this judgment ought to be reversed. Those were the grounds upon which they submitted, that this judgment was erroneous, and they submitted with all confidence to their Lordships, that upon all, or some of them, the judgment must be reversed.—(The Learned Counsel concluded his address at four o'clock, and this clOsed the case for the traversers.) The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired whether Counsel for the Crown were ready to proceed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (for Ireland) said,that the Attorney-General for England had left the House, but he would be ready to proceed, if necessary, in a few • minutes. After a short consultation between their Lordships, hey adjourned until six o'clock. At a quarter-past six o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR (addressing the Attorney-General) said—That they were ready to hear the arguments on behalf of the Crown. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, on behalf. of the Crown, it would not be necessary either for himself or his Learned Friend, the Attorney-General for Ireland, to occupy any great portion of the time of their Lord ships, because, although the arguments for the plaintiffs in error had lasted four days, yet the attention which he had thought it his duty to pay to the arguments of his Learned Friends would enable him to present the case before their Lordships in a much narrower compass, both as to the arguments that had been used, and the answers to them. He would not occupy their Lordships' time by any preliminary observations, but would at once consider the objections that had been raised on the other side in the present case. He would begin with that one which, though not of material con sequence in the present case, yet was of material im portance to the administration of criminal justice. He alluded to the entering up of the judgment, and of the re cord. It was quite impossible in his view of the case, that his Learned Friends could succeed in their arguments without calling upon the House to overturn the established law of this country as far back as there were any traces of it. He would appeal to any, of their Lordships whether, until this question was mooted at the bar, any lawyer in England had ever heard, or would venture to say, that he knew of any case whatever in which a judgment had been set up in the mode in which it was sought to be set up in the present case. If their Lordships were to alter the law as it now stood, hundreds, nay thousands, would have been suffering punishment improperly. There ,could be no doubt that the course which had been pursued in the present case in Ireland, was the recognised principle and practice of the courts. There was not a single instance of judgment being entered up in the manner in which they sought that it should be. They asserted that the law was that on a motion for arrest of judgment, if one count wa's bad the whole were bad, and that on a writ of error'the judgment must be reversed. That being their doctrine it became important to consider what were the arguments, and what were the authorities upon which it was put forward. They stated that by anolbgy with civil cases if there was a general verdict and one count was bad the judgment was arrested, and then ,a writ of venire de novo issues, but if there is error the judgment is reversed. That was one ground on which the counsel for the plaintiffs in error had proceeded. Another was this, that a party found guilty of only one offence charged in the indictment could not be punished for all — such a thing would be a hardship on the parties. That he believed was the substance of the argument on the other side.. He would net attempt to enter at all into the principle upon which the law decided. MS Learned Friends had not stated a single authority to call in question the law of the country, but they rested them selves on civil cases, and the hardships to the defendants. That being the ground put forward on the other side, be would state what he considerted to be the principle of the law. He believed it was this, that the iddgment should be warranted by the record and the , verdict of the jury, and then it was not an erroneous judgment. In civil cases the. judgment was, that the plaintiff had recovered against the defendant the damages awarded by the jury, and therefore in these eases, to say whether the judgment was right, they must look to the record and the verdict ; and if they did not warrant it, it was wrong. He would take a single civil case of two ' counts—one a special agreement, and the other money had and received. The jury fOund damages 500/.

These letters were produced before the magis trates, who directed them to be opened. The first was from the proprietors of the London Price Current, with a demand for 9/. 17s. 6d. for newspapers supplied to prisoner. The next was from the Liverpool Courier, offering to supply eleven papers weekly on receiving either a reference or a Post-office order.

The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human - hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment! The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as the " genuine" Macassar Oil : whereas the genuine article is wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son, and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders abortiVeany attempt to discover its component parts—thus proving= the imposition of all other articles bearing the title of Macassar Oil.", The genuine article has the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil" on the wrapper.—All others are fraud e counterfeits ! • Albemarle-street,Picca- S IGHT AND HEA.RING.---39, dilly.

The rejection of Mr. Villiers's motion for a repeal of the import duties on foreign corn, by a majority of nearly three to one, must convince the most sanguine ad herent of the League that the present Parliament will not abolish the tax on bread. Not even will the compro mise of a fixed duty be listened to ; the sliding-scale will continue_ in force, at least, • till the next general election. We are aware that many feel confident that the law will be changed on the occasion of the first bad harvest,—these speculators on probabilities having much more reliance on the vicissitudes of the seasons than the justice of legislation. Others, who possess that mixture of enthusiasm and perseverance which hopes against hope, and expect that ends may be obtained without adequate means, imagine, that commercial emancipation will spring up out of the disruption of political parties, overlooking the fact of the personal interests of land lords remaining unchanged, however they may , vary their Parliamentary leadership. We regret our mobi lity to share in any of these cheering prospects ; for, it being notorious, that the object of the corn-law is to sustain rents and prevent the foreclosure of mortgages, and it being equally notorious, that the receivers of rents have possessed themselves -of a monopoly of legisla tion, it appears to us perfectly clear, that no adverse harvest, no internal political jealousies, no war to the knife on minor, points, will ever .so far permit fear or passion to control reason, or 'neutralise the argument of the breeches-pocket, as to induce the actual holders of broad acres to transfer them to their creditors, either private or -public,—to mortgagees or to fundholders. Long years of legislative injustice and legislative blun ders have brought us into a state so artificial and complex, that the slightest change in the hollow and unsubstantial fabric of society threatens to bring down the ' able building.— We_ are in the con dition of the man who held the wolf by - the ears ,• it is dangerous to continue the hold, and equally peri lous to relax the grasp. Were we to venture in a single sentence to assign a cause for the " difficulties of Com mercial Reform,' we should ascribe it to the fact of our huge indebtedness, which prevents the application of the sound principles of political economy to the production and distribution of wealth. Let us, then, endeavour to point out specifically the nature and bearings of those difficulties, and we shall be better able to judge how we ought to assail monopoly with a fair prospect of success. We shall take it for granted, that corn is the standard of all value. Now, it has been demonstrated that the natural, that is to say, the untaxed price of a quarter of the finest wheat, both in this country and in most of the Continental States, is equal to about 64 ounces of silver, or 335. 6d. It has been further shown by Mr. John Taylor, •by evidence we have recently printed, and to which we refer our readers, that for every million of taxes imposed in the shape of permanent debt, the price, of the quarter of wheat ought 'to rise one penny, to place the landowner in the same position• as he would have occupied had no tax existed. Now, if we take our National' Debt at 800 millions, then we must add 800 pence per quarter to the natural price of 335. 6d. ; 800 pence are equal to 3/. 6s. 8d ; consequently, if we add 3/. 6s. Bd., the artificial or taxation price, to It. 13s. 6d., the natural or untaxed price, then the selling . price of a quarter of the finest wheat, in our actual circumstances, would be five pounds and twopence. Our readers may be startled at such a statement as this ; we know it is not a pleasant view of the subject, but if we really desire to ascertain the nature of our difficulties, in order to conquer them, we must not shrink from looking truth boldly in the face. We have said, that corn is the standard of all value. We have pointed out tailitio in which its price ought to rise, with the rise of taxation. If we are unable to give a scale equally graduated of other commodities, it must nevertheless be obvious, that the same principle must apply to all other products of human industry ; or, in other words, there must, for all articles, be two prices, the natural and the artificial—the latter being regu lated by . the amount of taxation at any given time in any given country. The consumers of artificially priced' corn cannot sell their gocds at their natural prices; for, if they . did, they would have to sustain all the burdens of taxation, from which, on that hypothesis, the growers of corn would be exempt. If, then, taxa tion necessitates high rents, so also does it necessitate high profits to the capitalists, and in a proportionate de gree it also necessitates high wages. Cheap labour, cheap commodities, cheap rents, under the pressure of excessive taxation, are absurd and unjust, unless we are prepared to say that the public creditor is to regard his debtors as slaves, and compel them to work as slaves for his special benefit. Here, then, we trust, the evidence is plain, that our public indebtedness prevents the applica tion of sound principles of political economy to the ex isting condition of England, provided we are honest enough to keep faith with the public creditor. Now, how to keep that faith, is the problem to be solved. It has been said, that the more we pay to classes for monopolies and differential duties, the less able are we to pay the fundholder and the Queen's takes. This, of course, is most true. The receivers of monopolies and differential duties know the fact as well as their opponents, though they may be too cunning to acknowledge it. They were evidently imposed by the Legislature to shift the weight of the public debt from property to industry, and for that purpose they are maintained. If honour or honesty ruled the conduct of our aristocracy, they would pay the debt they contracted, either by selling their estates to redeem the principal sum, or by raising as much per cent. on their incomes, by direct taxes, as would discharge the annual dividends. This, their cupidity and their necessities prevent them from doing ; and, consequently, they persist in levying revenue through indirect taxation, which is so graduated as to bear with the most unequal pressure possible on commodities of general consumption ; so that the prac tical obligation to discharge the claims of the Queen's Government ' and of the fundholder, chiefly falls on the working classes, being abstracted from their wages through the machinery of customs and excise. It is in dustry that pays the taxes, not property ; though indus try, disfranchised and unrepresented, never gave a soli tary vote for the contraction of that very debt by which industry is now ground down to the earth. The object of the corn-laws is to raise, prices, but it ha's defeated itself, since bread can never sustain a high legislative price in the midst of an unemployed and pennyless population. The object of a metallic currency is to lower prices. Both these systems have been in full play for many years, of course counteracting each other While the Legislature has done all in its power—how ever impotent that power may have proved—to com pensate landlords for their share of the burdens of taxa tion, by giving them a monopoly of the food markets, they have, at the same time, lowered the prices of all other commodities, by substituting a metallic for a paper currency, and prohibiting gold to rise beyond an arbi trary Mint-price. All prices have tended to fall to the low price of gold, which has been exempted from the laws of supply and demand by Act of Parlia ment. Whether the Bank of England possesses fifteen millions of bullion in its coffers, as at present, or whether it were so bare of the precious metals, as to be com pelled to borrow two-and-a-half millions from the Bank of France, gold still remains at the Mint-price of 31. 17s 104 d. per ounce—a contradiction so witless, that, if the fact were not notorious, he who proclaimed it might be suspected of denying common sense to the Legislature. Here, then, we have another difficulty in the way of Commercial Reform—the conflict between the corn laws and a metallic currency ; the one raising, the other lowering prices ; both in action, at the same time, in the same market, and both defended by Sir R. Peel with equal pertinacity. We have, then, five distinct classes or parties, each of whose separate interests must be consulted, before we can get rid. of our commercial difficultiei. First, the Government, demanding excessive taxes t , secora!dly,ithe fundholder, claiming payment of his-,dividends. Who is to pay them ? " Not we," standing forward as the third section, say the landlords ; " our private mort gages and special:burdens are as much as we can bear." " Nor we," fouizthly, exclaim the capitalists ; " our pro fits are so re.duced, that to lower them further would drive us to wome foreign land, less indebted." "Nor we," fifthly, declare the working classes ; " from ten hours' toil we haw,: been goaded into sixteen, yet this excess of labour bitugs no equivalent wages ; we faint under the burden. ; we can neither feed ourselves nor our chil dren, and fiaresee that the race of labourers mast be ener vated from generation to generation, till the powers of British labour are prostrated and exhausted." Now, it; seems to us, that, before we can adopt any comprebecturive system of commercial reform, we must first sett] e the question of taxation. How are we, an indebted .conntry, to compete, on fair terms, with an un indebted:, country? If taxation requires an artificial price,aist -we have endeavoured to show, how can we sell goods at; - their natural price? Somebody must pay the taxes, either out of their capital or out of their labour; there is, •no alternative, unless we sponge out the debt and p: reclaim ourselves bankrupts. If we allow foreign commodities to come into our home market , unburdened with taxation, how can our produc era of 'the same kind of commodities sell them ? If, on the other hand, we exclude foreign corn, I sow can we feed our dense and annually increasing popula lion ? Again, if we are to protect the rich, such as lam, lowners and West India planters, shall we refuse to Prot. yet the poor ? But are not these two obligations incompatible ? Can we at the same time keep up the price of Ix read by a corn - law , and kee p u p wa g es with a metallic et trrency ? There is palpable contradiction on the very fir ce of the proposition. With a cheap Mint-price of gold, coma nodities must tend to cheapness, where gold is the measu re of value.; and as commodities become cheap, profits anr 1 wages must fall, and thus, with diminished means, iau lustry must pay the fixed interest of the fixed debt, whip e the landlord next steps in and takes, by a bread-and ',beef tax, from the consumer his own portion of indebtedness to the fundholder. In a word, then, we conclude,' that the Government expenditure and the Na- Ilona' De bt are the main difficulties in the way of Com ' inertial 1 teform, 'to which may be added the metallic cur rencya tv d the infleXible . priee of gold.

THE QUEEN AGAINST O'CONNELL AND OTHERS. Mr. Kw.LY (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday) said—lt was found that the swear ing of witnesses in open court was productive of great, nconvenience, and some remedy was at last found necessary. Provision was made by the Act of the Ist and 2d of Victoria, c. 37, for the swearing of witnesses befOre the grand jury. The question was, whether that article applied to the swearing of witnesses in the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, or whether it was limited to those courts which were particularly men tioned—the Assizes and the Quarter Sessions. He con tended that it was necessarily limited by the language to the Assizes and the Quarter Sessions. It was provided in the Act that upon ;prosecutions being instituted, the clerk of the Crown at the Assizes, and the clerk of the' peace at Quarter Sessions, should endorse upon the in , . dietment the names of the witnesses to be sworn ; that the grand jury should administer the oaths to those wit nesses, and receive their evidence, and then that the foreman or other member of the grand jury, who should administer the oaths to the witnesseS, should endorse the names of the witnesses • whom he should have sworn upon the indictment, and authen ticated the fact to the court by signing the list either with his name or initials. Now that had not been done. It was assigned for error that there was no evidence on the record of those witnesses whose names ap peared 'on the back of the bill, having been sworn by the grand jury according to the piovisions of the statute, because neither the foreman of the grand jury nor any . member of the grand jury had affixed his signature or initials to that list. He submitted to their -Lordships that the non-compliance with that statute entirely vitiated these proceedings. It was quite unneces sary to remind their Lordships upon what very slight, grounds in criminal proceedings judgment had been re versed in writs of error. If in any part of the process error had been committed either by the sheriff or any other officer connected with the court, the judgment was reversed. (The Learned Counsel then referred to Comyn's Digest in support of this proposition.) Among other causes of error it was alleed that if the swearing were not well performed, as for instance, if the words " to speak" were omitted, it was error. If, then, it were clearly required by law that the witnesses before the grand jury should be sworn in a particular way, and that the swearing of the witnesses should be certified to the court in the manner pointed out by the statute, why should not the non-swearing of witnesses be considered as error ? The authenti cation • of the swearing of the witnesses before the grand jury was now rendered as important a part of the proceedings as the impanelling of the petty jury; also in the case of the "King v. Carlisle," 2 Barnewall and Adolphus, p. 97. He could not go through all the facts of this case, but he would merely state that the nature of the objection was not to any part of the proceedings themselves, but to an extrinsic part unnecessary to the validity of the proceedings. It appeared that only one of the justices named in the Commission to try the prisoners was present when the verdict was returned. That was assigned as an error of fact. But when it came before the court of error, in the first instance it was held to be a statement contradictory to the record, and could not be -assigned for error on that record. But, it was not contended that, if it had agreed with the record, the objection would have been sufficient to set aside the judgment. The matter of fact itself was a good objec tion. When the matter came before the Court again, on an amended record, the Court held that it had no power to reverse its own judgment in another town. He (Mr. Kelly) maintained that the matter alleged was error in fact, aud, no matter who ought to be present, the absence of any such person when the verdict was given vitiated the judgment ; that was not an error fatal in the premises, but was an extrinsic fact ; yet the court held that it would be good ground of reversal if it were not contradicted by the record. Is the case of Rogers v. Simpson," 1 Adolphus and Ellis, p. 772 ; with that case a great variety of authorities were connected, but he would not trouble their Lordships by going through them. Tho error assigned was that the distringas was not returned by the sheriff of Yorkshire or any other sheriff, nor was there any return of the panel annexed to the writ. The jury had been summoned, convened, and sworn to try the case, but it appeared that when the record was made up there was no return by the Sheriff ; that is, he bad not signed the return upon the record.. He called the attention of their Lordships to this case because, he could see no difference between an erroneous return of witnesses and an erroneous return of jurors on the panel, for both were equally necessary for the validity of the proceedings ; and Lord Denman, giving judgment in this case, stated that every such omission must be considered fatal, and he reversed the judgment. In the " King v. Bittals," where the defendant was found guilty of stealing a heifer, the objection was that the witnesses were sworn before the jury without coming into court. The judge held that the objection came too late, as it was after conviction, but would recommend him to a free pardon. This case was brought before a court of error. He quoted the opinions of Lord Den man, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice Patteson on this case, all concurring that the indictment ought not to be quashed. In the present proceedings there were no means of the prisoner knowing that the witnesses had not been sworn ; but that law was imperative, and said that no man shall be put on his trial except on evi dence of witnesses to whom an oath has been duly ad ministered ; nor shall he be punished without a due finding on oath. Ho conceived that the proper , mode of taking' advantage of this non-compliance, with the Act of Parliament as to the non-swear ing of the witnesses, was by the assignment of error in fact, this was the only way in which the pri soner could have an opportunity of making the objec tion. He read the section of the Act of 1 and 2 of Victoria, and stated the course of proceeding_under it to be, that assuming the swearing to take place before the grand jury, and they only, they are to endorse the names of the witnesses on the back of the indictment, to sign the endorsement and send it thus authenticated before the court. Could it be contended that this was a mere form, or that it was an unnecessary one? He had heard with great satisfaction something that had fallen from one of their Lordships, which relieved him in some sort from the habitual necessity in which they were placed of con sidering what was directory and what was imperative in a statute. He was glad to adopt the term essential, and he would ask was it essential that the provisions of the Act should be complied with ? What security had the court in putting men on trial, it might be for a capital offence, that the witnesses had been sworp, except the certificate of the foreman ? It showed that this part of the Act could not be what was called directory ; they were provisions, the complying with which was absolutely necessary. The Act consisted not so much of provisions by which the general object of swearing witnesses was to be attained, as of a series of provisions forming the machinery by which that swearing was to be accom plished. He cited the case of " Holdsworth v. Procter," in Crook, James, in which the sheriff not having signed his name to the venire facias, the judgment was reversed. It was urged that the name of the sheriff was not neces sary; but all the court held that it was bad, and set it aside. This was not a proceeding at common law, but by statute, and the omission signed by the foreman of the grand: jury was matter of importance, because, unless he signed it, the court would not know whether the party had been put properly on his trial or not. There was another case—Crook, Elizabeth, " Staner v. James." The Learned Gentleman having alluded to this case, observed that there were other reasons why it was essential that the court should have the means of knowing who were the witnesses sworn. In the case of an indictment for perjury, sup pose a Bill came down with the names of four or five witnesses but without the signature of the foreman, attesting that they had been sworn, how was the court to know whether the bill had been found upon the evidence of witnesses who had been properly sworn unless their foreman had put his initials to the bill ? There was another case in Crook, Elizabeth, of " Bloodward and Edwards," where error was as signed, that the sheriff's name was not attached to the writ of habeas corpus. Where the statute for the first time created a new system of procedure in a matter so important 'as giving evidence upon oath before a grand jury, he conceived it was neces sary that they should be well satisfied that the provi sions of the statute had been carried out before any pro ceedings could be properly ta ken. The question here was whether this Act extended to the Queen's Bench in Ireland, whether the witnesses should be sworn be fore the grand jury, or in open court ; and he sub mitted that the Act could not be considered as applying to the Queen's Bench in Ireland, that court not being mentioned in any of its provisions. If it had been intended that the Act s hould apply to the Court of Queen's Bench, that court would have been expressly men tioned in the Act. But, instead of that, the Court of Queen's Bench, the principal criminal court in Ire land, was nowhere mentioned in the Act ; and accord ing to the ordinary rules for construing Acts of Parlia ment, it could not be contended that the Act was'in tended to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench. Courts of assize and quarter sessions were expre3sly mentioned, and doubtless the Court of Queen's Bench would also have been mentioned, had it been intended that the Act should apply to that court. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Kelly, whom do you re present with respect to this part of the argument ? Mr. KELLY—Mr. John O'Connell, and the three whom I have named. The LORD CHANCELLOR—The point I believe was not raised for Mr. Steele. Mr. KELLY—Yes, my Lord. They all raised the ob jection that the witnesses were not sworn in open court, but Mr. Steele raises the additional point that the' notice was not signed by the foreman. The LORD CHANCELLOR—IS it so stated ? Mr. KELLY—Mr. Steele raised that point on the plea of abatement. • t 22S to 255 to ►fart he ISte aout lis E— , 'we th e g " - f kia4, 1 1 0 tl
