PRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS,

FROM THE r k
SOCIETY FOR DIFFUSING INFORMATION ON
PITAL PUNISHMENTS,"
To LORD CHIEF JUSTICE DENMAN.

The Committee of the above-mentioned Societl
having, at a meeting held at Plough-court, Lo
bard-street, on the 19th of December last, agreed°.
;in address to be presented to the Lord Chief JOY.
tice of the King's Bench, to congratulate him ups
his appointment to his present exalted station, or
m.nated five of their members as a deputation °
wait upon his Lordship with the address. On Sr
ti irday, the 29th of December, the day appoint'i
for receiving the address, the deputation, consistil4,
of the President, William Alien, Esq., F.R.SI'
R. Foster, Esq.; Warwick 'Weston, Esq.; J. Sr.
ney A.M ; and J. I'. Barry, Esq„ waite
upon the Lord Chief Justice, at his residence, Be
seil-.quare, and presented the following addre
which was read by one of the deputation :
" My Lord,—The Committee of the Society for JI
fusing Information on the Suhject of Capital Puniely
men's beg leave to express their sincere satisfaction at Of
appointment, which, by raising your Lordship to )4,
present exalted station, has given a Chief Justice to tt
highest Court of Common Law Judicature in the real
whose legislative labours, when Attorney-General, es'
tracted from a portion of our laws that ' vindictive ace
hity which deadens their execution,' and, by correetiO
the fattl errors of intemperate lawgivers, removed soill!
of the most serious impediments to the effective admin"
stration of justice.

" In alluding to the Bill which your Lordship inn'
dined, to abolish the Punishment of Death in all cases
Forgery, the Committee take this opportunity of tends
ing their grateful acknowledgments for that great measul

which, notwithstanding the exceptions introduced in tPi
House of Lords, has removed many sanguinary enae
ments fcom the statute-book, and afforded a benefictol
example of rational and ju iicious innovation upon Os
vindictive severity of the criminal code.
" Aware that your Lordship is under the iniperis°
and painful necessity of administering the laws as yo,
find them, the Committee are also aware from your Or
form conduct previously to your present elevation, So s
Judge in a Crimintl Court, that it is your invariable di,r
position, as far as the laws allow, to administer justice°
mercy. It must, therefore, be a great satisfaction to yoo;
own mind to have contributed to the commencement
that improwd system of legislation, which, while it PO'

tects the interests of society, and vindicates the authorii;
of justice, relieves the judicial power from a painful (1'!;
cretion, by causing that spirit of rational lenity to re't",
in the body of the laws themselves, which will give the°
operation the irresistible support of enlightened opinion,
(Sigtp,d)
" W. B. SARSFIELD TAYLOR, Hon. Sec."
His Lordship, who received the deputation in till
most kind and affable manner, returned a verbal a'
saver, the sentiments of which he subsequently el
bodied in a written one, which he transmitted
the President, and of which the following is
copy :

" Russell-square, Dec. 29, 1832'

" My dear beg to offer you as President, 0:
through you to the Committee of the Society for diffusioP
Informatio❑ on C.pitril Punishments, my thanks for tbi
addre-a you have transmitted en the occasion of my lati
a,lpoint►nent.
_ .

" The satisfaction expressed at that gracious mark ofhP
Majesty's favour—the approbation of my efforts in Pi:,
liament to mitigate the severity of the criminal law---tv
confidence in my future judicial conduct, founded on tbt
experience of the course I pursued as Common Serge
—are in the highest degree gratifying and encouragielP,
"It is needless for me to observe, as the obeervat'°'
has been made by the Committee, that the duty 0f,.1
Judge is of a limited and definite nature; he is under 4'
necessity, sometimes a very painful one, of administeo
the laws as he finds them. That this duty bas, howevel
been divested of much that made it painful, by the 4'l
provetnents of la .e years, is mainly ascribed to the °
lightened and persevering benevolence of your societt
Through their humane but temperate exertions, the telvit
ms
tition to trifle with the sacred clai of truth is remove'
those distressing conflicts are avoided, by which, in W
mer times, the aim of justice was paralysed; and npinio
lends a willing and conscientious aid to authority. lali/
with great truth and esteem, my dear Sir, your faith°
,ervant.
" Wm. Allen, Esq." (Signed) T. DENMAN.
H s Lordship conver-ed with the deputation (0,
more than half an hour on the state of the crimitle:
law, and some of the further improvements which
requires, and which are contemplated, in order °
make its provkions more effective for the securirl
of property and repression of crime, by renderil
them more consonant with the dictates of rationo'
and dispassionate justice, and thereby withdrawirt
from the Jury-box, and from Courts of criminal lei
altogeth,r, the great temptation which now exist
to violate the sanctity of oaths. We understorl,l
that the views hereafter to be developed on th,l,
important subject, affecting, as it does, the morel,
of society, the protection of property, and the k
f man, will be found to be such as cannot tail
give great gratification to the enlightened advocat;
of a judicious and efficient reform of our Crimitt
I Code.

of the Greek Senate, and has actu illy aided and abett. thancitt'sia
them in their secession from the common cause of theii, 04 ef t

assistance of the Russian Admiral, have withdrawn them; yr With

the Russian Admiral himself the station of President le easter
