Here the ATTORNEYAJENERAL closed for the Crown. The Chief Baron now addressed :the prisoner, and -said,- Jeremiah - Brandrei h, lam to intorrn yoo, that you May now .

The prisoner answered, '< 1 leave my defence to ,my Counsel ' Mr. Caoss, in addressing the Jury on the part of the prisoner, spoke at some length On the dif ficulty and importance Of the task which he had to perform, and disulaimed all intention-of jasti lying the ootrAges which had taken place in the titteoce which he 3hould make for the prisoner at -the 'bar.

He stated the I.4wr of high treason as it had been laid down by Mr. Justice Blackstone, and .by Sir Matthew Hale, and strongly implessed upon the Jury the im portance., of preserving Unimpaired- that blessed Statute., of !the 25th. of linward 111., w hid) bad been tr4ine,4l ro protect the subject against charges ; of eonstrisctive Treason. Every riot was not a levying, of war against the King.' The ob-. jest and prOVisions- of. the Riot Act he-then ex- Nailed. The riots of 1780 had more the appear ' ancp of levying war _against --the King titan 'the outrages, which...were. the sunjuct of these pro ceedings : yet whets the Chief of that day was brought to trial, ; it was not hell•by the Jury' that he had been guilty of a levying of war, and all the remaining offenders .Ivere ; tried for rioting and o ther outrages, for the Attorney-General found -thatit would not . do to prosecute them for a levy ing. of war. He• took a similar view of Watson's case. On the conduct of those concerned in that prosecution he .should. make no comment.• The only observation he should triund on it was' this—that the offences there. charged to have been committed were not held by the Jury to ,sontinnt. to the constructive levying of • war contemplated, by the statute of Edward The case of the prisoner at tlse bar, he contended,. the Jury ought to treat as if it Were that of any other person included in the imputed conspiracy. FF. went over the cantos of the indictment, which" . charged tire prisoner with levying war against the with levying war for the purpose of de nosing the . liing, and - with levying war in order tri force hint to change his conmids. These, he sub-, mit ted, were not satisfied-by toe facts proved. 'He t . 1 dwelt at sonic length on the distress of the last year, and. on ; the, manner, the minds of poor, men . had hero influenced by the statements made by i designing men, who repre sented all the misery they endured to grow out of the condact of his Majesty's Ministers, and the excessive weight of .taxation. -Deluded by . such represeutation i , the „unfortunate beings were too much heated to reflect, that even the 'King himself .could. not make a single bushel of wheat, mini' one sack of potatoes- more; tban•the season afforded.

Mr. DESMAN addressed the Anti with great eloquence and ability ; but as he urged nearly the same arguments,. and upon_ tbe, same . topics, as those adi'anced . by Mr. Cuoss, it is wholly less to detail them. The SOLICITOR GENERAL immediately rose to reply. He denied the truth of the proposition of his Learned Friend (Mr. Denman), that . the jury, on this important occasion were to be the iole judges' both - of the •law and the faCts : the Jitry,. he said, were certainly by law the sole judges of the facts ; but it was the duty of, the, Jtolges.to I.ly down the law, and•to state to the Jury whether the clime proved against the prisoner canie with in the stitute under which, he was indicted. or not. Neither .the *Fudges nor the. Jury %vete to decide arbitrarily, either of the law or the facts ; they • were to decide as reasonable men, , and JO come only to such a conclusion as a. con scientious view of the law as it existed, and the facts is they had been proVed, would ;ttstify. that_ course, be had no doubt, both the Court and the Jury would adopt tin. ;he present occasion. Learned Gentleman then proceeded to state his apprehension of the lawi as it applied to the crone, of High Treason; in.illustrating which he refer red to the authority of .Mr. Just ice Foster, on which he implicitly rested this case : upon thy question of levying war, the only • point on which the Jury had to decide ,tras, wbether.the prisoners had assembled itr hostile array or not. If they had assembled in hostile array, he should show, by a reference to their acts, the purpose for which they hail so. assembled ; and having done .so, no doubt could remain that their object was, levying war. against the King, and that they. were v 60040 Melt Treason. He then .ad-, vetted to thefacts,,of the case, and voting the evi-, thence, as it applied to the conduct ..f the prisoner' both on 'the'Bth and 9iir of Jupe, .clearly deduced: the conclusion that a, levying of War had taken place, for the express purpose of stibveriing his, Mkjesty's Government'; and of Ccitiietpienee that the' crime of High Treason had• been completed. - .
