bushranger, Cash, had been captured, and no ques-

tost horrible atrocities, and the capture of the rest of '

1,14 t Y our animadversions of this evening's date on the
of the Common-Sergeant of the City of London, in
'to Th.nee to a recent case at the Central Criminal Court, appear
Ale,— to be of so severe a nature that lam sure in common jus-
rtttj.,°O will insert this explanation. If any blame is to be
that to the nature of the question left to the jury to decide
b~heise, that blame is attributable to the subtie distinction
for:ti.,l*d bth l. The law is that " if A. tonli fide hire a
Nish a particular a purpose, and after that purpose is accom-
chivied,

the point left to the jury to determine, in the case so
at Y.orntnented on in your recent article. Ido not say
call was put to the jury in that distinct and simple way that
144,11 loch cases is de.irable, but I think your censure of the
attiot" Judge was rather too severe, and as the author of your
the was in all probability a person not very well versed in
this illAtleties of the law perhaps you will give insertion to
