" Thrice is be arroed who hash his quarrel just."

It had been said front the bench, on the late prosecution, that
' it was not the inteution with which an act was done, but its
tendency when done for which its author was properly re.
sponsible in a case of this kind ; but if such a doctrine were
true, he would not scruple to say, that Lord Elleaborough
had been guilty of high treason. Without eharging him with
treasonable intentions, he would say lie had dour that which
had a direct tendency to subvert the whole principle of a
trial by jury, and thus to stab the constitution in its vitals.—
He believed, indeed, that the slanderers of the people were
strong, because the people had themselves dreamed, or rather
slept over their rights ; the people of England were naturally
slow in their own vindication front domestic wrongs ; they
bad waited long before they maintained Magna Charm ; long
before they expelled the Stuarts; and though they had now
waited long, hr trusted it would net be much longer, before
their voice, like that of thunder, would demand and recover
a restitution of their ancieut and chartered rights. [Loud all.
plaints].
Mr. Waithman theta returned thanks in a neat and ener-
getic speech, in which Le avowed his determination to act
through life upon those principles which had hitherto been
his guide, without expecting any other reward than that of
the good opinion and approbation of his fellow-citizens. He
hail great pleasure in announcing, as treasurer, he had just
received Sir F. liiirdett's subscription of 1001. [Loud ap-
plause.] He concluded by an earnest exhortation to the
meeting not to lose the present opportunity of contributing to
the object in view.
Thanks to Lord Cochrane were then voted ; and a general .
subscrip!ion was immediately opened.
