THE AFFAIR OF THE lONIAN
DESPATCHES.

(Eros the Daly Noes.)
The Ulan of Mr. WILLINOTON Ottenoten
for steeling Bir JOlll Youno's Despatches hem the
Colonial-odes has ended in an aoquittaL The ver-
dict of the Jury mast be taken to mean, either that
the defendant was not the person who took the ,
document from the cakes of- the Government, or
dist in doing so he had no intention of depriving
the lawful owner of his property in that chattel end
converting it to hie own use. The main reliance of
his counsel, Mr. Ssiedrel,PAlLla, in his vary
able and judicious was on the estab-
liahment of the latter alternative. The learned
counsel refused to extenuate the moral offence
which had been committed in the abstraction of
the papers, and his language on this head
was as strong as could have been employed on
behalf of the Crown. But he contended that there
was nothing to show that, in taking the Despatches
and forwarding them to a newspaper for publication,
the prisoner had feloniously intended to deprive the
Colonial-dies of its property in them, and to ear
TINS Liam to his own use. Without losing them-
selves in the Sae metaphysical distinctions--sans of
them worthy the days of the Magister
Sabtilie—
which were drawn between the material part whisk
might, and the Intellectual element which might
not, be steals of en entity—the printed paper—the.
*hole of WillirlAgrak to its owner, the Jury ap-
pear to have considered that, after all, what had
taken place was not a stealing in the common sense
of that term, and gave their verdict accordingly.
as appears probable, the chief object of the
Government io instituting this prosecution was to
place its conduct in reference to these Despatches in
a clear light before the public, that end is fully at-
tained. The hidden progress of the despatch from
the table of the Colonial Library to the columns
the daily newspapers has now been laid bare, and
the anduct of all parties in reference to the trans-
action has been divested of the mystery which for
a time enveloped it. The Government is fully
absolved from whatever suspicion of privity to
the publication of Sir Joan Yonno's despatch
may have been ascribed to it is semet rumours while
the facts were misunderstood. Or own share in
the matter has been appreciated from the first,
although oar position as witnesses imposed on ni:a
silence not congenial to a profession whose whole
confidence is in publicity.
Now that reserve is no longer • duty, we may
briefly state the principle which has regulated our
conduct towards the Colonial-office since we became
aware that the Lilian Despatches had been published
against the wish of the Government. We have from
the first considered that we were bound to maintain
the privacy of communisations addressed to a news-
paper under the implied and well-understood pledge
of confidence which the conductors of public journals
recognise; while at the same time inch information
as we conceived we could afford to the Government
for the protection of the innocent, without violat-
ing this principle, was not withheld. But we
have, of course, never pretended to set the conven-
tions of a profession above the Law. We refused to
presume Mr. WELLINGTON GIUZINIEVII guilt from
private information, or to withdraw from him, till
the matter was brought before a legal tribunal, that
shield of secrecy to which, if inneoent, he was entitled.
But at the call of the Law we appeared and stated the
facts within our knowledge. It is highly satisfac-
tory to learn that the course we have followed
has the approval of a legal authority so eminent
as Mr. Baron MARTIN. The learned Judge, in the
course of his summing up yesterday, was pleased to
observe that " the reluctance of the Editor of the
" Doily News to give up the name of hie COM-
* wee quits natural ; indeed he might say
" throughout these transactions that gentleman
"bad acted very properly, and had done nothing of
" which for any reason he need be at all ashamed."
If we have deserved to be thus spoken of, it is
simply because we have endeavoured to adhere
closely to the ideas and traditions which are common
to the whole newspaper press.
