here had been only six murders. The
.Nohle Lori"
commented at length on these and other facts, aid resumed
his seat after moving the following resolution That-
the efficacy of Criminal Laws depends less upon the
severity of punishment than the certainty cf infliction;
and that laws which cannot be carried into execution with-
out shocking the feelings of society, and sinking abhorrence
of the crime in sympathy for the offender, are contrary to
reason, inconsistent with morality, and opposed to the inte-
rests of justice-.objections which most forcibly apply to
statutes enacting the punishment of death."
Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., entered the meeting as tho
Noble Lord was speaking,' and was received with cheers,
which were renewed for several minutes.
Mr. J. BRIGHT, M.P., addressed the meeting in an elo-
quent and energetic speech. He said the peculiarity of that.
discussion was, that no political feeling or religious rancour
need be stirred ; for every man had that in him which na-
turally led him to abhor the punishment for itself.. Their great object in this movement was to ascertain
whether in a great community the people could so conduct
themselves that life and property would be secure without a.
punishment which took away from their number by death.
On this point he referred to the past experience of London,.
when it was not one-sixth of its present size, and yet six
human beings were put out of existence at least every week.
In 1832 or 1833 there had been a great redaction of the,
crimes capitally punished ; and he asked whether, since then,.
they had found life or property less secure? The Hon. Gen-
tleman argued the question, not from Scripture but human
nature—those principles which lie at the foundation of cha-
racter; and concluded with expressing his strong belief that
it would be abolished within five years.
The Rev. Dr. MORTIMER, head master of the City of Lon-
don School, supported the resolution, which was
put from the
Chair, and carried without one dissenting voice.
DANIEL O'CONNELL, M.P., moved the second resolution,
and supported it by several interesting facts from his own
knowledge, while engaged in professional life.
Mr. SAMUEL GURNEY seconded the resolution, which
was put to the meeting and carried unanimously.
" That in the opinion of this meeting, no fallible tri-
bunal should be entrusted with the power of inflicting an
irrevocable punishment. That awful instances of the con-
.•

idemnation and execution of innocent men, convicted upon
what appeared at the time the clearest evidence, proves the_
fallibility of the best constituted courts, and the necessity
of adopting some punisment, which may be recalled in the
event of subsequent proof of the innocence of the supposed
criminal, in place of a punishment which takes away that
which man is powerless to restore, and consigns to a pre-
mature end a helpless fellow- being ; thus closing the gates
of mercy which God would leave still open, and shortening
the time for repentance which He would still extend. "
Mr. W. J. Fox, in an eloquent speech, moved—" That
• the following petition to he: Most Gracious Mesty the
Queen be entrusted for presentation to the Rightaj Hon. Sir
Robert Paoli -and,t.hat similarlpetitions be presented to both

This

It was moved by the Rev. Mr. CrinisrmAs, and supported
by Mr. WRIGHTSON and Mr. H. VINCENT--" That a society
be now formed, to be called ' The Society for the Abolition of
Capital Punishments,' and that the following form the Com-
mittee of said society, with power to add to their number."
A vote of thanks to Mr. Ewart, M.P., for his conduct
sineparthaetecdh. air, was passed unanimously, and the meeting
