a Barrister, and the mlsguided people tropld naturally
conclude that trey were Safe in doing what he did.,
It u'-, a very different' tiling in tlefe6.l whether the'
badge of 0. P. was worn by a „comgion person.,
by ar person- of the rank of the Defendant,
whole profesaidtt . certainly -gaxie him authority.- -
' What authority he had, the-Jury might very well
form an opinion-from the evidence, for when he
entered the Pit, he was greeted with the exclama-
tion of " here comes the honest Counsellor !"
Why ,as he denominated the honest Counsellor by
those who- were in the Theatre, not for the purpose
of seeing plays, but to prevent the performance ?
How did it happen that When the rattle was sprung,
upon his speaking to the' person- it was immediately
silenced.? It would be for the Jury to-consider from
these circurnstances, whether he was not a person
of grc.at authority 'With these rioters. It was im..
possible jo suppose that Mr. Clifford, when he
went to she play, was ignorant of what had pass-
ed for some time in. the Theatre; unless he bad
been asleep for two months. When there then
did he know the meaningOf O. P. ? If not -ig-
()rant of the meaning, be must know tlyt the
putting the badge in his hat was, like belongingo.o
the regiment, and putting a cockade on. Why did
be suffer this O. P: to remain in h 4 hit, if it was
not to encourage them to go on, and by his ex-
ample to do that which was as. they thought
_legal
and right ? The Jury would judge therefore .for
what purpose he went to the Theatre, whether to
encourage disorder or not. Supposing they thought
he did, then the next question was the legality of
the arrest. If on the other hand they should be
oeinien the Viaintiff was entitled to•rcover, they
would be so good- to say upon- what grounds they
found for the Plaintiff, whether on the ground that
he did not encourage the rioters. The 'Plaintiff's
Counsel bad truly concluded .that a private person
cannot arrest another for a breach of the peace after.
it is Mover---a hook which he 11(1 Lefcre him ex-
pressed that to be the law, .:The Learned Judge
concluded, with direaing, the Jury to give :such

Some doubts arose as,-to the return of the ver-
