THE SIIN, LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1841.

of the last letter, he received another from a poor fel-
low at Edinburgh, which stated as follows :
" Our case is probably one of the worst amongst the
many sufferers. I g,tye up business in the druggist lire
on account of increase of years and infirmities, pur-
chased an annuity of 301. during my wife's and my own
lifetime, from the Company, two years ago, and, by
frugality, we made a scanty livelihood of it with 201.
more that we drew of rent from a house in Coldstream.
Since losing the above 301., all we have to look to is
the 20/., so that you may form some opinion of our de-
plorable condition from this simple statement of facts."
Sir P. LAURIE added, that he should have further
disclosures to make in the course of the week.

LORD CARDIGAN'S TRIAL.

It is bard to decide whether the conduct of the pro-
secution in this case, of the del.:nce, or of the Guth-,
has been most equivocal.
The Attorney-General began by protesting that " he
was rejoiced to think that the charge against the noble
prisoner at the bar did not imply any degree of moral
turpitude ; and that if he should be found guilty, the
conviction would reflect no discredit on the illustrious
order to which he belonged." After stating the law of
' the case, and laying before the Court an outline of
the facts he intended to prove, Sir Jahn declared, " he
should offer no evidence—indeel he could offer
no evidence—as to the quarrel out of which
this duel had sprung ;" taking care to add, that " be ac-
quitted the Noble Lord of any thing unfair in the cour:e
of the duel ;" that "he did not suppose there was any
grudge, personal animosity, rancour, or n- alignity
against Captain 'Puckett, in the hie ast of tie Noble
Earl ;" and that 4‘ i e had no doubt tio,,t upon this oc-
casion the Noble Eirl only complied with what he
thought necessary to the u-ages of society." In short,
the manager of the prosecution took care a' tio. very
outset to convince the Judges, that the Earl of Cat ei•
gan was put upon his trial for a mere, technical viola-
tion of the law, more out of respect to farms than for

any serious offence. He at the same time restricted

though, the crime charged being of that class in which'
7tnaekiotg the
conduit of the accused to appear—al-
t
the Judge possesses the over of increasing or diminish- I
ing the punishment within a limited range, such c renno
stinces were essentials of the case ; and thus laid him-
self more open to be defeated upon seine narrow techni-
cal ols;ection. The suspic:ons of collusion on t' r• part
of the Prosecution, arising out of this preattil le, are
rather strengthened than diminished by the subsequent
proceedings. Sir John Campbell has the reputation of
of being not only a sound, but what the Scotch call a
loopy lawyer; and Mr. Vizard, who had the getting up
of the case, is a sagacious and experienced mar of busi-
ness. If any knowledge confined to the practitioners in
the Criminal Courts were necessary, the Crown Law-
yers could have commanded any assistance they pleased.
Yet, when the counsel for the defence urged (Nee tions
to evidence which must Lee been foreseen, the Prose-
cution was, or pretended to be, unable to supply the
deficiency. And lastly, when Sir William Foil, tt ob-
jected to the salidity of Captain Tuckett's card as
evidence, and a,gued upon decisions, Sir John Camp-
bell, an experienced lawyer, knowing that the opinion
of Lord Denman would guide the Lords, instead of
meeting Sir William's argument, talked about " in-
' fteenees that would be drawn by reasonable beings out
of Court." From beginning to end,' the conduct of
Ole Prosecution shows a predetermination to allow the
a ecused t) escape ; and the sham fight was not even
kept up with sufficient appearance of earnestness to de-
ceive the bystanders.
The conduct of the Defence was, under such cir-
cumstances, no very difficult task. But the counsel
for the defendant went beyond their brief, and indulged
in certain Old Bailey practice?, which, as quite unne-
cessary, were in bad taste, to say nothing of their me-
rarity. For example, Sir William F( heir, finding in a
tneinorandum of Dann the miller, a note of the num-
ber of miles he had travelled ova the business, remarked,
" You seem to have gone about a great deal after this
affair ;" and folewed up the inuendo subsequently by
very pressing inquiries as to whether he had been paid
his charges. Sergeant Wrangham's cross-examination
of the miller's son—a- boy of fourteen—closely resem-
bles the account of a parallel process ia the " Pielcwick
Papers." For examile : "Da you then mean to say,
you could at the instant distinj,uish who the pa, ties
were kneeling?"--" I could see who they were." " That
is distinguishinir, is it not ?"—" Yes. (A laugh.)" And
when the boy attempted to show the Learne I S2ree int
that he had misapprehended one of his a: savers—" Oh,
explain your answers in any way you like, Sir." The
same system was pursued with Mrs. Dann ; who was
pestered with such questions as—" All the ge tlemen,
then, had red faces, had they ?"—" Who has been
telling this story ? who has'bcea examining you ?" and
with a silly laugh raised against her when she sad, " I
can see better on the Common—where I am more
practised,"—the fact that she could see better on the
open Common than in the dim Painted Chamber being
apparent, whatever might be her expertness or awk-
wardness in explaining the circumstance. This attempt
to shield the accused by browbeating honest witnesses,
and insinuating charges against the'r veracity, is com-
mon enough at the Old Bailey, but we should have ex-
pected more regard for right feeling among the aristo-
cracy of England, than to permit such vulgar licence to
counsel at the bar of the High Court of Parliamest.
And now as to the Court itself. Notts ithstandiag,
the care of the Prosecution to withhold the evidence,
and of the Defense to clivert at'ention from what could
not be withheld, the following facts were established.
Mrs. Dann saw two gentlemen kneel and load pistols,
then rite, stand back to back, walk asunder sonic paces
each, place other two at the points thus fixed, put pis-
tols in their hands, stand aside till they fired at each
other, give them fresh pistols, and stand aside till they
fired again. Mr. Dann saw the combatants stationed ;
saw them fire both times ; never lost sight of them till
be reached the ground ; when he saw one gentleman
wounded, and took the pistol from the hand of another,
that other being one of those who fired, and also Lord
Cardigan, the prisoner at the bar. Sebastian Dann
saw the kneeling of the seconds, the firing of the princi-
pals, and the wounded gentleman with a gnat deal of
blood on the ground. There cannot exist a doubt that
Lord Cardigan discharged two pistols at some indivi-
dual, and wounded him the second time ; it having been
also proved that he said to the inspector of police—" I
have been fighting a duel, and have hit my man." Then
as to the identity of the wounded antagonist of Lord
Cardigan. Dann allowed him to go home with his sur-

geon, upon giving his addresr ; that address was " Cap-
" lain Harvey Tuckett, 13, IJuni:ton-place, New-road."
Dann called three times ; and each time, on asking for
Cap'. Tuckett, was ushered in to the wounded gentle-
' man who gave him the address ; and on one occasion
tha: gentleman sent a note by Dann to the Magistrates,
which be signed with tl.e name " Tuckctt." Mr.• %Val-
then gale evidence to the effect that a gentleman of
the name of Harvey Tuckett had rented business cham-
bers from him for upwards of a year, who gave hit card
of reference tt Captain Harvey Tuckett, 13, Hamilton-
place ;" and that he had sent a hamper to the aeatlc-
man by that address. It was proved that the Earl of
Cardigan deliberately discharged two pistols at a person
of the name of Cpptain Harvey Tuckett, and wounded
has. This was the charge against the Noble Earl,—a
charge which, as stated by the prosecution, admitted by
the Court, and not questioned by the defence, if proved
rendered him liable to punishment. The counsel for
lie ;accused objected to the production of the card : it
was proved without the card that the wounded man
gave the name and place of residence above mentioned,
that he was repeated y seen C'ere during his convales-
cence, and thet a person of that name and title resided
there. If there were anything extenuating in the cir-
cumstance 3 out of which the duel arose, that was a por-
tion of the defence. The criminal act was proved, and
brought home to the Earl of Cardigan. And yet the
Members of the House of Peers, the conservators of the
piety, morality, and law of the empire, alter commenc-
ing their proceeding with a solemn appeal to the Deity,
rose up one by one when called upon, and e lch in suc-
cession, placing his right hand upon his breast, said,
" Not guilty, upon my honour." Alai for the honour
of the British nobility! it is much upon a par with tl.e
veracity of the fiery knights,- who, in the first part of
Shakspere's Richard the Second, thrust the lie down
each other's throats.*

11 The conduct of the prosecution, defence, and Judger,
has all the appearance of being each a part in a common
,conspiracy to defect the ends of justice. The whole
peoceedings of the House of Lords suggest a predeter-
mination to allow the accused to escape by some subter-
fuge or other. Viewed in this liglA, the Earl's appeal
from the Judges of the land and a Jury to his Peers,
was an appeal from a tribunal in which an attempt would
be made to discover the truth and punish the guilty, to
a tribunal where, guilty or innocent, he thought he was
.8 ife.f The privilege of the Poles to be tried by and to
try each other, wears the aspect of an exemption from
time penal law of the land : it seems to proclaim one law
fomr the nobility and another for commoners.
If the mischief eeded with now and then allowing a
guilty Peer to escape the punishment incurred by Ws
crime?, it would be comparatively venial ; but the tri-
fling and equivocating with solemn duties, in the law
trial, is worse than that ; for the House of Lords is a
Court into which any civil question may be carried by
appeal. There is not a case, where there is a sufficient
interest at stake to admit of the expense being incurred,
but may come to be tried in last resort by the same
Judges who, after bearing the evidence recapitulated
above, declared " upon their honour" that Lord C mil.
gan was not guilty. Nay, this same corporate body has
the power, in its legislative capacity, to prevent the pass-
ing of any legislative Act that would alleviate or amend
the evi'. As Judges, they have it in their power to
twist the law as they please ; as a legislative body, they
have a veto upon all reforms ; as the habitual associates
o! the Sovereign, they influence the Crown ; as large
landed re opriL tors, they decide the e!ections to the Com-
mon:. In ttem resides the real sovereignty of Great
Britain. And their conduct at the trial of Lord Cardi-
gan
shows bow loosely they wear the restraints of moral
precepts, and how little care they think it worth while
to tike to conceal their levity from the public gaze.
" Wasps break through the cobwebs in which flies are
caught," and make a triumphant buzzing to call atten-

tionto the fact.
The question is between the Peers and the People
Lord Cardigan's share in it is scarcely worth notice.
To be sure, the Attorney-General was allowed to de-

• From this censure the Duke of Cleveland, of all the
Peers present, is alone excepted. In exquisite irony he
declared, " Not guilty, legally, upon my honour."
t The prisoner arraigned before our Common Law
Courts claims to be tried "by anti and his country ;"
Lord Cardigan claimed to be tried "by b. 35 Peert." It
sounds like a disclaimer alike of Divine and klurna.)
f-
d ct en.

clare without contradiction, that the duel in which
Lord Cardigan had been engaged—taking it, of course,
with nil ;ti attendant circumstances—" did not imply
tnii-n1 turpitude." This was a volunteer state-,
ment on the part of Sir John Campbell ; there was no
call upon him to make it ; and he made it well know-
ing the notorious facts of the case, although he did not
choose to lead evidence regarding. them. The fleet!
' ration of the Law Officer of the Crown, listened to in
apparently approving silence by the Lorth-,1: amounts
to this—A Peer may taunt and tyrannize owr the
officers of his regimect until one by one he disgusts
the whcle of them with their profession, and when
one of them complains he may silence by shooting him ;
while a weaver, half-mad ‘tith suffering, must be se-
verely punished, if, in imitation of the Noble Lord, he
threatens to betake himself to " physical force." A
Per may shoot a man under the circumstances alludcd
to, white commoners (see the case of the duel between
Edict and MitfH) are punished even for acting as se-
conds. Tie cases of the two Wimbledon duels are not
so very different as might at first appear. In Eliot's
case there is more rude blackguardism ; in that of Lord
Cardigan there is more cold envenomed despotism ; but
both are examples of an individual, confitient in his own
superior skill and courage, venturing to insult and out-
rage others. The Peers claim immunity for such of
their number as thus abuse their power, and have
thereby done more than enemies could do to weaken
their it:flue:ice. No man or class of men can with im-
punity outrage the moral sense of a nation. " Aristo-
cracy," says the Globe, "is the element in wlich we
live and breathe :" if so, it is high time o e were seek-
irg to recruit our health by trying, a purer atmosphere.

THE STAKE AT ISSUE.

The division on Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration
Bill must have important resu:te, the great question
involved being whether a third part of the kingdom is
to be governed upon the principle of the protection of
popular rights, or on that of their contraction or sup•
pression. Thu choice of Lord Morpeth's or Lord
Stanley's Registration Bill is in effect the choice of
the system of Government which is to exist in Ireland.
It is the choice whether the system of Government is
to be continued which has produced a greater share
of tranquillity than has ever before been known in that
country, and which has allowed of reducing her garri-
sons, and spacing her troops for English exigencies ;
or whether a return is to be made to the old system of
governing in distrust of the people, in dread of the
people, and in despite of the people, by the help of mi-
litary force and the Orange faction.
Under the administrations of Lord Normanhy and
Lord Ebringtor, we have witnessed the surest pledge
of the improved peace of Ireland in the diminished
number of troops necessary in that part of the king-
dom ; Lord Stanley's system, too, would have its re-
duction, and he would see the test of its success in the
diminished number of electors. More soldiers, less
voters, would be ac upshot of his scheme. The te-
gistration would then be small by degrees and beauti-
fully less ; but, to make up for that, the recruiting
would be on an enlarged :cola, and Irishmen, to con-
sole them and compensate for exclusion from the (Ice-
taral pale, would have the ranks thrown open to them,
with handsome bounties fur serving to keep down their
countrymen.
What,ver is taken from the content of a people in
die condition of the Irish, must be attended with a
tenlel 1 augmentation of coercive powers, and you
must make up in muskets for what you retrench from
the confidence of the people in their representative
strength.
In the state of Ireland there are but two principles
for her Government—contentment or coercion ; make
your option of the ether, and look to your means of
carrying them into effect.
If Lord Stanley's project and coercion be the choice,
let it be borne in mind that the old system will net suf-
. flee ; Ireland has out grow n it; she ioust he measured anew
1 for her fetters, and much increaied in magnitude must
be the res!raining powers suited to her present strength
and state of organization. In sobriety alone the people
of Ireland hate acquired an element of discipline of in-
calcelilile value, and under the leadership of
Mr. O'Connell, have learnt the method of combining
for their object, and of acting in vast bodies with the
unity of purpose of one man.
But in considering the feasibility of governing Ire-
land, not as she used to be, but as she is, in despite
of the discontent of the great majority of the people,
it is necessary to advert not only to the present state of
• the country on which so daring an experiment is to be
made, but al,o to the aspect of affairs in Europe, Asia,
and America. With five hundred thousaed men under
arms in France, is it prudent to make five millions of
malcontents in Irelaud ? For Lord Stauley's miserable
object of cutting down the electoral body in Ire'and, is
it wise tq raisa the hopes and encourage the ho:tile at-
tempts of the enemies of England .in every part of the 1
world ? The foreign foes of this country have always
reckoned extravagantly on the disaffection of Ireland, I
and is this a juecture for giving them to hope for an
• ally against us in intestine troubles ? The commanding
position of England in the eyes of the world is I,wered
the moment she has to keep down Ireland. It is not
that the people of Ireland would co-operate with fo-
reign enemies, but that the diversion of so much of the
strength of England to the coercion of Ireland is more
than the most powerful empire can afford.
And for what are the hearts of the enemies of Eng-
land, in every part of the world, to be made to bound
with joy ? That Lord Stanley may decimate the
scanty electors of Ireland, and again place the Govern-
ment of Ireland on the apex instead of the foot of the
cone, curing the false balance by the prop of bayonets.
That the Tories can defeat Lord Morpeth's excel-
lent project is certain, for in the House of Lords it must
be doomed to destruction ; but in disappointing the
just hopes of the people of Ireland, and raising a nation
against them, they raise a difficulty for their Govern-
ment, whenever it comes, and however it comes, which
it must sink under. They cannot wrong Ireland as
they would wrong Ireland, and hold it as it can oily be
held under such treatment.

Ministers have done their duty, and whatever may
be the issue of the contest for the second reading of
Lord Morpeth's Bill, they will have made good their
ground for a stand or fall with honour. Their majority
is, we believe, secure, but even if they could be defeated,
the triumph of their opponents would be short, and the
lost advantage would be recovered with interest.
This the more sagacious members of the Tory party
are well aware of, and hence their dejection on the eve
of the victory on which they profess to reckon. In the
course of the week, indee I, their organs in the press
have begun to inveigh against the dissolution which they
apprehend will be resorted to in the event of the deft at
of Lord Morpcth's 1311. Why, these authorities have
been assuring us for the last four years that the
counts). was against the Government, and that en an
appeal to it the Liberal party would be scattered
like chafF before the wind ; wiry is it then, that they
so angrily hold forth against a dissolution which would
so serve them ? They are here strangely distracted by
their hopes and fears ; they hope for the victory which
would compel a dissolution, and they fear the appeal to
the country which, instead of scattering the Liberal
party, would terminate in the rwurn of a popular force,
against which a Tory Government could not long stand.
It we had to contemelate the possibility of the break-
inr up of the present Ministry through disunion, we
should calculate on the evil of a Tory Government of
some pernsasence ; but ths is not the turn of thiegs on
which, in the worst event, we have now to spent: ate,
the Ministers, ta their honour, having chosen a ground
for their pitched beta! which has re united and re-ani-
mated the whole Liberal party in the hearty suppo t of
them, and this union is a mighty reserve of strength for
any event that may happen.
As to the division on the approaching trial of strength
with parties so newly ba'anced, we know that the ma-
jority roust be small ; but, small as it may be, it will
keep the wolf from the doer. In the rem irks tint we
have made, however, it has been our object to consider
what the position and prop is of the 'Furies would he
if they could carry the ;malt of throwing out Lord
Morpcth's measure, without stopping to moot the feasi-
bility of the exphit. G.ve them their best present
hopes, and what is the prospect before them ? Sup-
pose they could pass into power through the stet) to
Ireland, what will they do with Ireland ; how du
they propose to got ern it ? How do they expect
to obtain the con-eat of England rind Scotland to
the costly coercive system that wontf become the
evil nece;sity of their administration. But there is
another more imtnedi,te difficulty. Never were the
Toby party more disjointed than at this moment. The
state of the Duke of Well ngton's health incapacitates
hint for office, and the state of Sir Robert Peel's rela
tions with his }tarry almost does the same. The dislike
of Sir Robert is no 'ongcr suppressed, it has broken out
in open quarrel in the very organ which is the main support of the party in the press ; but Lard Staid- y's I
demeanour, for V.e few days that he perform( d the pert
of dsptey leader, during the cars nee of Sir Robert Peel,
has not esekted the notice of shrewd observers.— Ba-
