minds. Conscious that our motive. had been
such as we had no reason to be ashamed of,
and that our conduct had been above suspicion. we
never for a moment doubted what the result of the
Mal would be. We abstained from commenting upon
the conduct of Lord Liman in the Crimes until the
ashes Board had coocluded its inquiries. Even
then we only. adverted to his Lordship for the purpose
of illustrating the necessity of Army Reform.
When his law agents intimated to us that our

we placed oar columns at his disposal to correct any
lasses we might have fallen into in regard to facts,
Wed volunteered a declaration that it our language

an apology, and an unoondeousrefueslto specify which
of our remarks were complained of. No alternative
was left us but to smart nor right to canvass the
public conduct of a public man is a fair spirit, by
giving Lord Loom to understand that we bad no
fear for that appeal to a Court of Law
with which he threatened us. Alter be had
thus forced us into court, our conduct conti-
nued to be animated by the mama spirit of
loyalty and frankness. We did not rest satisfleA
with a mere negative plea of not guilty; we offered
to prove our allegations to an extent which one
of the Judges declared to be tantamount to under-
taking to prove what was not required at our hands;
and, when the proposed plea was disallowed, we west

The event bus justified our confidence. The pro-
deeding, in spurt speak fur themselves. It would be
ingratitude en our part not to acknowledge ths bold-
ness, energy, and ability with which our cause was
advocated —by Mr. James. Still we cannot but feel
that it was mainly the evidence of Lord Lunen him-
self that convinced both Judge and Jury of the recti.
tude of our conduct. Aod we may ad that the
ingeoions speech of Sir Frederic Thesiger is a
corroboration of this view. That learned counsel
had little more to urge than imaginary descrip-
deem of the manner in which newspaper
leaders are prepared, and conjectures as to what
would be the coarse of the Daily New in the event
of a verdict against it.,
This ,Ilhetioal line of argument was mosses,
ay • IWaro. The result for the Daily New

interest of the owe sprung from its involving a
decision on the great question whether journalists—
and other seoldeial critics of public nsen—fltdsehly

We institute no parallel between our own oat=
that of Horne Tooke and hie associates. They
were called upon to display a courage aid devotion
for which in our case there was no need. And yet
we may be allowed to say that for the general public
ear trWmge is a more important one than theirs.
Theis Miemph merely proved that courage may oorn•
mead amen even at times when law and pieties
are sat at nought; ours, that law and justice are
now so thoroughly established that every honest
man may do with safety what they did at the peril
of their lives. It is impossible to read the report
of yesterday's trial without feeling that the right of
free, bold, public discussion has become an article of
the national faith—at all events on this side of the
Tweed. The candour and impartiality with which
the Judge summed up, and the promptitude with
which the Jury returned their verdict, prove that
henceforth every writer and speaker on matters of
public interest is free to speak his mind, provided he
do so honestly and without malice. No one
can reflect on the quiet, nnexiggsrated tone
of the proceedings without feeling convinced
that they were pervaded by perfect impartiality—
that the same Jags and Jury who exonerated us,
would have condemned us without hesitatioo, had
tame Men a shadow of reason for believing that we

Judicial recognition of au important principle is not
liable to fluctuation or change; it is a guarantee alike
for the rights of the public servant and of his critics.

we should never have reverted to the eonsidera-

se iato a Court of Law, compelled us to do
