the peculiar champion roil ornament of the Trial
by Jury ; to the younger among them as the equally
strenuous supporter of the litseities of the people to

which continued for some minutes.

he was a citizen. though net a Liveryman of Lon-
don ; if he had stood its the latter situatioio he
should have tendered Ina vote for hit Holoonrallit
Friend (Mr. Wood), and argued on the legality of
