COURT MARTIAL JUSTICE.—The .on
passed on the prisoner Hobbs by the recent court-ol'odt
on board the San Josef, is a disgrace to our counirl6oYi
our age. His crime was drunkenness and insub°rl.o!
tion, and lie was sentenced to be hung on the yerkiaar
one of her Majesty's ships in Ilamoaze. We bad tPsente
that law and justice were synonymous terms, but 1101
in this case fearfully disabuses our minds. British it'll
the 19th century awards the punishment of death,
its dread realities and consequences, merely for. 4.111:0
ness and insubordination. But it was insuborelnw
watkarity.: the master -4 th,e o#l6'
it seems must be vindicated, and example rendered t itoo
ever, though the fl4sh of its vengeance should do via
to every principle of human justice. It is martial ll*/
as in the hour and glory of action the human being 01
dowcd with immortality is a mere machine for dolor
work of death, so in martial law the same utter reet btl
ness of life is manifest. This will not do ; it will °el
the eye of morality or reason. The duty of the
was imperative," but the prisoner was recommend 1f
ostf
mercy. Mercy is a sovereign attribute, and is to eel
eised when there is reason for dispensing with the"
of law. It pre-supposes the justice of law, and Op It
fence of a reason for its non-execution. But *be,
law is a mockery of justice, it is an equal mockeryefl,
of mercy. It is high time for reform. It is scarce
or'
cessary for us to suy that we do not intend in the f
observations to impeach any of the gentlemen Who or'
the recent court-martial. It is the law which fete
their " duty imperative," and against which we e°
protest.—Plymouth Journal.
