DUNN V. ALEXANDER.

The plaintiff having appeared in Court,
Mr: Baron ALDERSON said they had made inquiries, and
found that judgment had been signed before he made his
application on Friday. They, therefore, could do nothing
for him.
Mr. DUNN was prepared to pay the costs of the
judgment, and upon those terms he trusted the Court
would allow him to come in.
Lord MUNGER According to the rules of the Court
they could do nothing for him.
Mr. Deism hoped toeir Lordships would not permit so
gross a fraud to be successful.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said it was no fraud to sign a
regular judgment.
Mr. DUNN said it was a gross fraud to have him arrested
for the purpose of preventing him from making his appli-
cation in due time.
Lord ABINGER—Was your arest the cause of your ab-
sence at the time you were called upon?
Mr. DUNK—I have made affidavit of the fact, and have
sworn that a most intelligent member of the English bar
told me I would be in time.
Mr. B. ALDERSJN—That must have been in ignorance
of the real facts.
Mr. DUNK still hoped their Lordships would suffer hin-.
to re-open the Court.
The COURT. —A regular judgment is signed against
you—if you have any materials to set it aside you must ap-
ply to the Court upon affidavit as you may be advised.
Mr. DUNN would wait till the bar had been gone through
and renew his application.
At the rising of the Court the plaintiff renewed his ap-
plication for a rule nisi to set aside the judgment signed in
this case, his only ground was that he had not been able to
apply for a new trial in proper time because of his bang
arrested, and he insinuated that it was done for the pur-
pose of preventing him, but it appeared the arrest took
place upwards of a month ago.
The COURT refused the rule, on which the plaintiff,
who was much excited, exclaimed " You have treated me
with gross injustice, but thank God, your judgment is not
final--there is another tribunal to which I will appeal."
Lord MUNGER. —Mr. Dunn, you will now be happy
—you have got another grievance to boast of.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLO BE results proposed by the Legislature
in all l eoal inflictions, whether personal or pecuniary,
which are deemed necessary to protect the revenue of the
State or the property of individuals, should be remedial
and not vindictive : they should have respect to the com-
munity rather than to the individual; and be designed
more to prevent than to punish offences. To effect this
object, it is essential that publicity should invariably
be given to the detection and punishment of those who
have violated the law, in order that shame may operate
upon the individuals—the public be put upon their
guard against the perpetration of such frauds—and
others, who may be disposed to engage in similar
nefarious schemes, be deterred from conduct which,
sooner or latter, would be thus followed by the for-
feiture of property and the loss of reputation. The
administration of the justice of the country in public
Courts, and the publicity given to the names of the
individuals and the nature of their offences, with
the circumstenc,!s attendant on their commission, by
the public press, restrain crime more effectually than
I dread of any punishment, una.tended by publicity,
Icould, effect. Why, then, is not this salutary course
