contradicted, we might certainly be justified in assuming it
AS a fact.—We must express our hopes, however, that the
rnitter will not rest here. This kind of resignation, if Mr.
N•NSLTI2 has resigned under the eirtumstances reported,
will not ammo' the purposes of PublicJustice,—it is no pu'
nishmenti—or at least it is no example.
In thecae of Mnb TUELLVSON, the Bast India Company,
or at least the Great Body of the Proprietors, proved them-
'elves to be actuated by very just sentiments, and in direct
contradiction to the indulgent opinion of the Committee
pronounced by the result, that Mr. TinixesoN was guilty
tiller of ,:iA!ct participatim, or of a corrupt knowledge.
This is another example in which the People have differed
Uotia the [louse of Commons, and we fear that this will not
he the last.—The Courts of Justice, in the punishincli: o
Mr. ,CX t MLR DAVISO.,/, have sufficiently that
tlw Law can punish, and can punish with sufficient rigour,
any case of direct fraud in a Public Officer. It remains
ord that similar examples should be made in the other gr a-
dations of public criminality—Direct fraud is surely less
criminal than a system of conduct, which attacks the purity
of Representation, and renders the Constitution but a mere
name by corrupting its very source and fountain.
