jury have found that v,•u hat? that information, and that
you had that guilty knowledge when you concurred in
the balance-sheet. The sentence of the court is three
months' imprisonment in the same prison, and also in
the same class. John Stapleton, the jury have found
you guilty, but I cannot conscientiously sentence yott
to a severer punishaient than that yea pay to the Queen
a fine of one shilling, and then be discharged.
Mr. Stapleton here b.)wed low to his lordship, and
there were some manife4tations of applause, which
proved that the sympathy of the public was in favour of
this defendant.
Mr. Kennedy—My lord, on behalf of Mr. Brown, I
have to ask your lordship to defer the execution of th•
sentence until Monday, that arrangements may be made.
Lord Campbell—No ; I will not delay the execution
of the sentence one moment. (Loud applause from the
soetstators.)

Mr. Atherton here mentioned to hia lordship that he
had said, with the concurrence of counsel on both sides,
that he would decide what remuneration the jury should
receive.

Lord Campbell—l most willingly undertake the
duty ; but when I am called upon to say what is a
fit recompense for the jury, I regret that it is not
in my power to award them such a reoompense.
I can i,nly go on the pr►nciple on which the payment
to special juries is a arcled, and that is a guinea
a day to each juror. Therefore the sum that I
award to each juryman is 12 guineas, bat that sum I say
is a most inadequate recompecse ; in addition to that,
gentlemen, you have the thanks of your country. There
is one thing more which I wish to say. As far as I
have observed, my recommendation that the public
ahonld refrain from all comments on this trial until A
was over has been strictly observed. That is highly
creditable to the press ; and I rej ice the time is now
come when it will he open to all her Majesty's subjects to
freely commt nt on this trial.

Aft. Atherton—My L Ord, there are two informations
against other defendants, and I have to apply to your
lordqhip to make them remanets.

Lord Campbeil—Certainly.
His lordship was making some further observations to
the jury, which we were unable to hear owing to dm
noi•y interruption of the man who serves the subpoenas
on the special jury in requesting them to take his as- .
surance, as an "officer of the court," that he was to call
on them with their fees on Monday.
AN the defendants were subsequently passed through
a private door, from whence they were con►eyed in cus-
tody to the Queen's Benet) PI icon.
Now that this protracted trial is over we have again
to express oar acknowledgments to the officials of
the court for the excellent arrangements made for the
press, and thecourtesy with which they afforded any fa-
cilities in the discharge of our labours.
