to pint out that two sinsgloas would lave ernes ender the

other wee whether • person, let him be her Majesty's subject
or sot, could be tried for a reorder committed abroad, either
ea • pelmet* or as an memory. The only difference between
Dr. iternard's end Mr. Alleop's came was that no doubt
Mr. AUsep wee a British-born subject, for he was •
manual born subject, whilst Dr. Bernard we not.
Them were the real truths of the owe. They bad, un-
fortunately as be thought, tailed in obtaining a conviction,
and the question of law therefore was still untried.
He thought that after the statement made by his
learned friend, it must be seen that the failure upon
that trial wee a failure In the facts, and therefore that
it would be a most improper thing to proceed with the charge
of misdemeanour, which rested on the was evidence.
