COURT OP Or KINGS BENCH, Jars se.

Till RIMY, g. OINKRAL
Mr. Retest, on the part of the Prosecution. re-
plied to the arguments of Mr. Stephen, in favour
the Defendant, in the course of last term. This
ease has been already fully before the public ; a
Special Verdict was taken at the trial, and the
question at issue is, whether the Defendant, a. Go-
Tomes. of the island of Trinidad, was authorised in
directing the puulV.tessurt.of torture to be indicted?
The Learned Cousiael conteuties4t!le'!-It. Wall.tu-
dicier/1C acid not an eitecutivellpe ; that the MO-
meet • country became couqilexed by a British
force, although the inhabitaute became the pro.
perty of the victors, yet when by an act of Or.
gurney they were etyma put is possession of their
civil rights and liberties. it became the duty of the
conquerors to protect them. He would put II case;
suppose we had conquered a tract of country in the
possession of iufidels, who were in the habit of ex-
posing their, children to the sun on their nods,
either to perish by the hostas of the ann. or be
devoured sae velturen If an Englishman iu that
country *as to perform this act, would the plea,
that it was the custom of the country before it
came oad-r die dominion of England, exempt hire
from beit,c ainenal/le to the iirturett laws of his
country ? He was sure their Lordships would say
certainly cot. He could not see the distinction
between the two cases. The Defendant, in ex-
estiPetiee, pleads. that torture had been the
issege and law of the land before its being sub-
dued by British arms. So it might be contended,
in the supposed case that he had stated. When
Britons became conquerors, it had beeu their po-
licy—nay, more, their innate principle—not to de-
prive the cooqu.terl of-any goof or humane cus-
toms they bad imbibed; but invariably to try to
ameliorate their condition, and divest them of
their bad ones. He argued thus, supposing that it
had been proved that torture had been tolerated in
the island. If it had, there was but very weak
proof of it before their Lordships ; and they
had confessed it
execution without the sanction of • superior Court,
that of Carucci's. It the Alcalde had the power of
iaflicting torture, he admitted it would be an sn-
orer to the present indictment ; but it was ad-
mitted, on the face of the special verdict. that hr
had not the right..anrl that it was not by him di-
'reeled, bet by General Pictou. h bad been con-
tended that this punishment, which had so much
sinned against &lush justice, was earned into exe-
cution by a Coon formed by Sir Ralph Aber-
crombie. It isi-itered not, in Ins opinion, by whom
the Court had been formed ; for, however wisely it
might have been instituted, it would not palliate
any derriiction from British laws. Not only the
laws of the country, but the British name had been
injured; that character for humanity and gene-
realty, that even her enemies don't deny her, had
received a stain that it would take a century of the
true characteristic of the country to blot nut.
Lord Es.tannonousio--“ The point. the Court
wishes to be informed on is, whether a similar clue.
nutlet the same circumstances, has ever taken place ?
and auother, whether. is the cases of all conquered
countries, their original laws do not remain in
force until it has been declared by His Majesty that
they sir altered?"
Mr. NOLAN stated, that. with the greatest humi-
lity he had contended, and did then, that the
useasent a Governor was appointed by His Majesty
ever any country. he Became his representative, and
as each was bound to see that the laws of the land
of his Sovereign should be alone carried into execu-
tion; Of to whethev a similar case had ever occurred,
he was of opinion there had uot. He was the more
convinced of this. from recent information, which
their Lordships should be shortly put in possession
Of.

The COURT observed. they would take the case
into further consideration on some futsre day.

Mr. Serjeant VAannh; siewe;lcause against •
rule obtained by Mr. Serjeant Best, why a sew trial
should not be granted in this case. The circum-
stances were, that the Plaintiff was • passenger on
board the ship Anew. front London to Oporto, the
Defendant was the Captain of the ship, she was
captured by Gen. Soule, in the harbour of Oporto.
The Defendant agreed to ransom her fruits the
French,aud the Plaintiff advanced lithirn the money for
the purpose; and, as • security, the Defendant gave
.him Bills of Exchange on his owner, who di♦
honoured them, and the Plaintiff brought the pre-
sent action.

for an unlawful purpose. that of ransoming r vessel
from the enemy. The Jury, under the direction
of his Lordship, gave a verdict for the Defendant.
The Court. after hearing the arguments of the
Learned Counsel. refused the rule.
