TRIAL FOR SEDITION.
Jars Maw, 41, undertaker, surendered in discharge of
his bail to take his trial upon a emu of misdemeanor,
end he was plated in the doek.—The Attorney-Cieneral,
Whitby, Kr. Bodkin, and Kr. Clerk, appeared for the
crown. Kr. Parry was for the defence.
Kr. Parry applied to the ern to allow the defendant to
stud en the floor of the ern instead of remainiag at the
bar.—Mr. J settee Ede, having conferred with the einem of
the court, said there appeared to be a diflienity with regard
to the manner in which the jury should be suamoned in
the ease of a defemdsst who summilered being allowed to
stand en the Geer of the owe% and sold that if It wen per-
mitted in this imams it might be urged that it was a erste ial.

set was in the seaway et the sheriff, sad if ft wee are, it

said he did not feel himself authorised in removing the de-
fendant from his position in the dock.—Mr. Parry said that
after the corer given by the Attorney Oreol he could
not kelp Waking this wu rather an negnreioas proceeding
on the part of a subordinate offiert.—Mr. Prance said the
sheriff wte abseat at that moment, and he did not feel justi-
fied is taking any other course than he bad rises.
The Attorney-Omni then briefly add:seed lbs_ tjas7 sad
explained the nature of the charge agar" the delbadsat.
The indictment contained two counts; the first eiterging
him with sedition, sad the pseud with being present at an
unlawful rateably; and with regard to the latter charge he
observed that all puma who were proud and who took an
active part at meetings where violist and Intiammatory
addresses were made, were equally guilty in the eye of the
law. As to the other portion of the chugs, then was
no magic in the term sedition, and it was perfect!
well understood. The offence of sedition
in a penon addressing a violent and inflammatory
adder, for the purpose of creating sunniest and
opposition to the constituted authorities, and it was very im-
portant for the jury to distinguish between the honest ea-
pr trios of opinion at • public meeting sad the act of parties
who made that right morel) • pretext for untieg their
hearers to outrage and Mame. The defendant, he was
instructed, was a person who tiled a respectable position in
society, and his prxeedings were therefore the more dan-
gerous, and he had no right to complain of beiag placed in
his present position, but should have pared before he acted
in the manner that rendered hies amenable to the 1 ay. The
Attorney-04mnd then said that the meeting at which
the speech in question was delivered was on the 28th
of July, at the Milton-street Theatre, the day follow-
ing the circulation of the report that there was an imme-
rsed= in Ireland, that 801160 of the railway station. had
been destroyed, and that the troops were disaffected, and
under these circumstances, when the greatest excitement
prevailed, the defendant made a speech to • meeting com-
posed principally of the lower enders, comprising • great
many Irishmen, smarting under real or imaginary grievan-
ce.; and when they had heard that speech he apprehended
they would not entertain any doubt as to the object for
which it was delivered. Ile then read the speech at length,
of which the following are the mere materialprauctar The
metric, it appeared, was convened by a heeded
"Is Inland up ? ' and the defendant occupied the petition
of chairman, and commenced his address to the perms as-
sembled, as follows

ther the speech canto within the scope of fair, honest discus-
sion, or whether it way nut, as suggested by tie indictment,
