opinion as to the justness of the verdict; but. this I
will venture t say, that if Nieeerg. Lewis and Les's,
the lawyers for the defendants, had not entered
their spirited protest against the summing op rf the

they would have bean aadly wauting in their duty to
their clients, one hour of the summing up made at a
case of " Lombardretrest to a China orange ;" and the
fulsome slobbering of the judge by the legal member
of the jury before they retired could have left no doubt
as to the result. Certainly, there was no " artiatic
merit" in Baron Iludilleston'a charge. A more weak,
lame, aud imp dent i eautu6 hf a cam it would be
impossible to conceive. However, the action will

c ntcludes "I'm', people °stout stioutly stick up the
motto 'be just and fear not,' but it it evident the
