After the usual business was gone through. Sir
ROULAT GRAHAM addressed the Jury in a very int-
. prissier manner; in the course of which lie said—
•• It is a matter of no small satisfact to me, and
it must he especially so to you, to make the obser-
vation which I have more than once had occasion
to ins ke, that the Calendar of this County, cousider.
ins tea extent, population, and commerce, is cono.
-8 paratively surd,. though large enough to excite the
mint lively cominiiieration. On the present occa-
. *iota this is peculiarly the ease; and I should feel
that I intruded improperly upon your time. if I ad-
dressed to you many observations on a Cal.-velar
which contains only cases that must have fie,luently
come before you." After mousse further observations,
!. • . Ilis .I.wedsliip concluded nearly to the following
effect :
• " Gentlemen, there is one point on which i never
speak hut with the greatest diffidence and reloct-
- a.m., because I know there are ',tiny of you from
• whom I might rather apply for instruction ; I mean
whit is due from you us Magistrates and Country
..,Veutlensen. You, Gentlemen, must have felt that
the criminal laws of this touutry press hardest on
the lowest class of society; out that they press im-
properly upon them, but because their poverty,
• and more especially their artificial vents, must
strongly tempt them to outrage the institutions of
socity, by seeking their gratifieation in converting
to their own use the property of others. It is for
this reason that the lens of this country are charged
with undue severity. If, therefore. you would
wish to mitigate this severity, you mast begin (nt
least such sr my opinion. which I give with diffi-
denee. because these are men of the most en-
lightened minds who differ from me lot thi. opinion)
you must broils by improving the morals of tie
lower chits of society, and not by removing tho-e ,
terrors which are likely to influence persons of this
clam now this improvement may be hest effect- '
ed, I do not presume to dictate; but I feel it my
ditty to state, that the great duty which society ex-
perts from you, is exec rple; for by it you can most
extensively and effectually influence the morals of
- your ovireadant. and inferior.; and if thi. influence
In on the stile of virtue. the benefits may be incalcu-
lable." _ _

The Tolbering is a statement Of the opinioa pro-
nounced by the Court of Directors of the Eart
Company, upon Sir George Ilarlow'a conduct w.th
respect to Colonel Boles's case. It forms the Sth
p4ragritpli in a letter, dated the 19th of September,
1509, from the Court of Directors to the Governor
in Council at Muaraa:— .

P. 9 —" In our letter of the 15th of Sept. Bun,
we stated our 'opinion, that. as Major Bob b ap-
peared to have been pi.aerd in a situston of diffi-
culty, his removal f staff alsvointtnent
migist be a sufficient mark of your displeasure, and
we tlicrerore desired that he might be restored to
the service ; we are sorry, however, to 11:11i 1101 V, that.
Major Boles has not conducted kiln,. :1 merely as
an uffictir iMpeilesl by a conviction of military duty,
to act in oposssilion to the semi, of Government,
but has gloried in tlisst opposition; it *unit fairly'
be presumed, that it is with his own consent: his
case has become one of the rullyiug ponds for sys-
temstic resistance to the Government, its support
of the pernicious sad unfounded doctrines of the
late Cossensander-in-Chief, whose cause Major Boles
appears to have cordially espouses'. Under these
circumstances, although we were slot disposed to
remove him from the servile on the score of obe-
dience. which he might deem td be ris:lst, to the
order of his Commandinga Officer ; yet, as there can
he no pretence of right or ditty its a factious oppo-
sition to Governs's:Alt, nod' bcconie so dangerous.,
and so much promoted by his means, we direct that
he be suspended from our scrrire."
