from the defendants that they never intended Or

desired, directly or indirectly, to countena ace or '
encourage the crime of assassination, and were I
ready to express their regrets, if such construction
could be put on any publications to which they
had been parties, and that the matters complained
of should be withdrawn. It is almost needless to
say that these terms were at once accepted by the
defendants, and verdicts of not guilty taken in
bath cases.
It is needless now to speculate on what might i
have been the results had the law officers of the
Crown tried to have obtained adverse verdicts
against the defendants. We believe that they
exercised a wise and just discretion in accepting
the compromises in cases which should never have
been submitted to the Court, and which would
not have been instituted by Lord DERBY'S Go-
vernment. Sir FITZROY KELLY proved himself
to be the true Liberal, so far as the liberty
of the press was concerned, and a sagacious
statesman in respect to our foreign relations. It
would have been impossible to have checked the
honest fervour of the eminent advocate for the
defendants. He would have fearlessly told un-
palatable truths, and elicited, even from the wit-
nesses for the prosecution, facts exceedingly dis-
pleasing to the real prosecutor, at whose dictation
these proceedings were instituted by a too subser-
vient Government. Lords PALMERSTON and
CLARENDON and Sir RICHARD BETHELL attacked
the defendants. Lords DERBY and MALMESBURY
and Sir FITZROY KELLY have honourably escaped
from the difficulty bequeathed to them by their
predecessors, and proved their respect for the
fourth estate in the most unequivocal manner.

The Palmerstonians are complaining because
the Government did not receive an ignominions
defeat; net perceiving that the disgrace would
attach to their own protegees. They attack the
Lord Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, and the
distinguished and eminent counsel who conducted
the defence. It was his imperative duty to vin-
dicate and protect his client, and he did so in the
best manner possible. The Attorney-General
accepted the declarations of respectable persons
that they did not believe that they wore commit-
ting any offence in publishing the pamphlets in
question, but that as they might be liable to mis-
construction they should be withdrawn ; and Lord
CAMPBELL stated—not in reference to the parti-
cular article,-but as a general rule—that a publi-
cation having a tendency to incite to assassination
was a libel. It could only be a factious feeling
that could complain of the result, which was alike
honourable to the Court, the prosecutors, and the
defendants.
