Mr. Ballantine said he defended nominally the de-
fendants, but appeared for the members of the Jewish
persuasion throughout the kingdom, whose conscience
and feelings had been affected by it. He regretted his
friend, Mr. Bodkin, had not been consulted in this mat-
ter earlier, or some one connected with the feelings of
society and the prejudices of any particular class, for if
they had been so consulted they would never have heard
of such a case before a public tribunal. He had scarcely
seen equalled in his experience so miserable a lack of
discretion as that which has been shown in raising
this question at the present time, and of intro-
ducing, or being charged with introducing, a feeling
of animosity which had been subsiding for years, and
which had been the care of the legislature and wise men
to cause to subside as far as possible. He deplored such
cases could be brought forward by an irresponsible per-
son, because he was certain those who represented the
Government would have scouted the idea of raising such
a question, and would never have exposed themselves to
such a charge as those who had brought it forward
and by a lamentable want of discretion had raised the
question. On a reference to passages in Holy Writ
they found positive instructions. They were to be care-
ful about animals suffering, and a positive prohibition
against cruelty. Positive and remarkable directions for
the treatment and management of animals, with a view
to save them from pain, whether for food, or hired for
labour. He proposed to deal with the question on three
heads :-Ist, that the Jews could not conscientiously
adopt any other mode of killing their cattle than the
one now adopted ; and, secondly, that this question had
been unnecessarily raised. The act of Parliament, nor
the section under which this complaint was laid, did not
here apply ; nor was it ever intended it should apply,
and which a moment's reflection should have

told the promoters of these proceedings. He
censured these proceedings, as a means by which
to stigmatise a body of men as being cruel who
were proverbial for their kindness, but they felt in
this case they could not sacrifice their religious convic-

tions to a body of men who had no more right to inter-
fere with their religious belief than had the latter to dis-
cuss how the affairs of the society were managed, or
what gentlemen did when they went home to dinner t 3

eat animals that had been cruelly tortured to death to

minister to their luxury. All the Jews asked was to be
let alone in their mode of slaughtering their cattle,

which was strictly laid down in the Old Testament,
which they looked upon as the divine command of God;
and the learned gentleman quoted several passages from
Genesis, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy, which the Jews
considered of far more authority than the theoretical
opinion of medical gentlemen. This was the most mer-
ciful and humane mode as a whole wl•_ich could be
adopted by the Jews in slaughtering their cattle. The
Jews were always ready to obey the laws of the coun-
tries they inhabited. They would, however, continue

the practices they had for so many centuries adopted,
unless the law of the country prevented them, in which
case they must remove to some other place where bigots
did not exist.

Sir Peter Laurie retired with the Chief Clerk, and on
his return said he had given the case great attention,
and was of opinion the summons must be dismissed.
The summons was accordingly dismissed.

THE REGISTRATIOSS.

MIDDLESEX.

The following will, we believe, be found to be an ac-
curate rJsume of the results, politically, as procured from
the best source within our reach, of the registration
just ended. If an additional impetus were required to
the Liberals, it is here to be found, for it would appear
that in consequence of the extraordinary efforts made by
the Tories, through their untiring agent, Mr. Jones, the
Liberals have been hard pressed, and notwithstanding
that Mr. Davies, the active agent of the Liberals, has
made every effort to counteract the influence of the Tory
phalanx, a united effort will be required to prevent the
metropolitas county getting into the hands of those who
would, in our opinion, be opposed to the political pro.
gress of the people.
