the dudes devolved upon him of occupying the shear at

thought they would not consider he was going beyond
his provisos in referring to what was in all their minds,
when he expressed • very earnest and fervent hope that
this gabfest will be eoasidend by all parties with the
fulled regard and rape. to moderation, to law, and to
order. He most also say this—that personally he did
mern earnestly trust that in the interest of all persons
sionesrsed, and the employed more especially even than
that of the employer any arrangements winch are made,
will be made with ;pedal consideration to the import-
une et having labour permanently employed. He did
hope that was • point which will be borne well is eon-

of in. medusa.s in this aunty of the practies of

practise that is, he most take this opportunity of
expressing his hope that this point will be borne in

Woodfords prosecuted.
Yr. Collins for the defense, sold the prisoner would
not plead to the indictment. It was bad from daptioity
as two felonies were °hermit In one count. Its said that
in Archbold's "Reading and evidence" «war these
words Indictaitiot mast not be doable. The
. . . . . .

defendant ought sot to be charged with having men-
milted two or moss °frames in any one want of the
indictment : for 'essence, one osnuot charge the
Jefen lent with having ennm.tted a murder and •
robbery, end the like. 93, two defendanta cannot be
jointly charged with murder or menslaughter by mains
of an injury done by one of them 13 the datum' on
one day eed another injury done by the other of them
on a different day." .It went onto give the ex motions
to this among welch Yr. Collins nued that a ease
similar to the prompt was not one. On another owe
of the same book were the fgllowleg renterks :—" We
have already seen that U a defendant be charged with
two or more offences in any indlegments, the went
will be bad for duplicity, except in one or two excepted
chess." •

sense mutt be exercised in these owe, they weld
elect on whioh off ince to have the rain tried, and the
other words In the whet would Its treaded ai surplus-
mr. Collins eoatinded that the count was one and
Indivisible, and as two offences were charged in it,
without its being alleged they were committed at the
eases time and pi ice, the indistment wee not pleadable.

Mr. Praeks.Woodfordo said the expense would pre-
vent a private proesautor from doing that, and he
ought not to be driven to such an expense on whab
was really a publis matter.
The Clsairman understood the prisoner ref 'sued to
plead.
Mr. tfooks-Woodforde raid there were plenty of ways
to make • man plead.

the prisoner to dettn. or by giving him • bit of bread
