to offer the above valuable and eligibly situated Premises for
public competition, on FRIDAY, the 22(1 day of November next, at
the Strafford Arms Hotel, in Wakefield aforesaid, at Four o'Clock

These Premises are upon the Banks of the Calder (the water of
which has long been celebrated for its excellency for Dyeing pur.

establishment. _

The works possess facilities for the transit of goods rarely to be
me; with. They arebounded by the river Calder, the Calder and
Hebble Navigation, and the Wakefield and Denby Dale Turnpike
road, and are within a short distance of the Manchester and Leeds
Railway.
In the immediate vicinity are several working Collieries, from
whence fuel may be obtained on very reasonable terms.
The Buildings have been erected within the last four years, ant
are arranged upon a plan admitted by competent judges to be equal
if not superior to any other Dyehouse in the kingdom.
The Steam Engine is 30 horse power, and connected with it are
FIVE LARGE BOILERS,

constructed for the purpose of generating steam for the works, and
all tho machinery (Including large Indigo Mill, and every requisite
for preparing Dye.woods), utensils, and implements, are on the
most modern and improved principles.
Attached to the premises is
A NEWLY "WILT DWELLINCLHOUSE,

containing dining, drawing, and breakfast rooms, and two kitchens
on the ground-floor; and adjoining are ta.tefully laid-out Plea-
sure Grounds, sloping to the river, and forming a most desirable
residence for the Proprietor of the Works.
Contiguous are
TWO ACRES OF GRASS LAND,
And excellent STABLES AND WORKSHOPS.

Plan; and particulars of the property are in course of prepara.
tion, and may shortly be had on application to the parties to be
named in a future announcement.

For further particulars, or for an order to view the works, apply
at the offices of Messrs. Carr and Nettleton, and Taylor and
Westmorland, Solicitors, Wakefield.

THE AUTUMN SEASON
The rising sun dispels the hazy fog,
The rigid hoar-frost melts upon the ground ;
And, hung on every spray, on every blade.
The myriad dewdrops sparkle all around!
In presenting before my distinguished patrons my arrangements
and extensive preparations for the present season, I consider it
first a paramount duty, combined with a positive pleasure, to return
my sincere thanks for the continued success which has for many
years enabled me to produce such novelties as have been entirety
unprecedented, and which have given to my numerous establish.
menu, both in England and Scotland, a character hitherto un.
paralleled in the annals of clothing.
Immense patronage demands the most decisive proofs of grati-
tude and respect ; and to those who so nobly supported me through.
out a long career of mercantile enterprise, I beg leave most respect.
fully to tender my grateful acknowledgments.
My arrangements for the present season are now approaching to
a completion, and combine
Vesting of exquisite beauty and shade,
In countless profusion are tastefully laid ;
The richest designs which the loom can supply
Delight every fancy, and please every eye!
In the tour which I have recently made throughot the English,
Scottish, and Continental markets, I have selected upwards of
6;000 of the most magnificent designs in Vestings, which cannot
be obtained by any other house in the kingdom. The " principal
styles" are entirely my own property, and can only be seen at my
establishments ; and although I have adopted this novel method of
securing the most recherche designs, yet economy will be found
blended with their extreme beauty and durability. The materials
which I have selected for Trouserings combine every novelty yet
introduced into this country; the Stock being truly immense, and
the patterns so much diversified, it ensures to every one the cer.
tainty of being pleased. Again, the magnificent display of
Materials for Over Coats,
For every age and station,
Are such as must excite in all
The meed of approbation!
In the above useful garments I have introduced a variety of new
and beautiful features, and amongst the many novelties may be
enumerated the Glenlyon Driving Coat, the Parisian Envelope, the
Albert Riding and the Waterford Walking Coats. Now these are
entirely new, and different to any style yet introduced, and will be
found to possess the gentlemanly appearance so much admired
amongst the haut ton. Combining, as my establishments do, the
most recherche designs, the greatest novelties, the most scientific
cutters and experienced workmen, and yet, from my immense
purchases, being enabled to sell forty per cent. under the usual
prices, I venture to hope for the kind continuance of the favours
of my distinguished patrons ; whilst no future efforts of mine shall
be wanting to merit their generous support.—l have the hon ur
to be the public's obliged servant, L. lIYAM.

' NEW SPANISH CONSTITUTION.
We give the following report of Narvaez and Co.
to the Queen, we should rather say, the Queen-Mother,
as an argument for doing away with constitutional
government in Spain. Our readers will possibly take
little interest in the affair, but we find it necessary to
give the report as a public document, which may lead
to the most serious consequences.
"Madame—When your Ministers had the honour of
proposing to your Majesty the convocation of the
Cortes, which are about to meet in the capital of the
kingdom, they thought it proper and fitting to express,
in the decree of convocation, the intention which the
Government had that a reform of the constitution of
the State should he proceeded with. This notice,
given with frankness and good faith, in order to take
away even the slightest appearance of surprise, then
called the public attention to the subject, and it may
he supposed that it had an influence on the feelings of
the electors when they placed in the electoral urn the
names of those whom they were willing to intrust
with so important a mission. In order that there
may be no longer the slightest doubt of the intention
of the Government relative to this point, the character
and nature of the projected reform was indicated in
the decree of convocation in the following terms,
which it is proper that we should repeat to-day :---
"' The time has arrived to introduce regularity and
harmony in the different branches of the State; to
lay down the laws necessary to consolidate in the
most stable manner public order and tranquillity, and
to carry reforms and ameliorations even into the con-
stitution of the State, relative to those parts which
experience has demonstrated in a palpable manner not
to be in harmony with the true spirit of the repre-
sentative government, and not to leave the flexibility
necessary for all the exigencies of this kind of go-
vernment.'

" It was thus the Ministers expressed themselves at
the time of calling upon the electors to exercise their
important rights. The persons whom they have
honoured with their confidence being on the point of
uniting, the time has arrivQ4 of laying before your
Majesty the ideas of your Ministry relative to constitu-
tional reform, which is the most important point the
Cortes will hare to consider. In examining this subject
with the attention which it so well deserves, the Minis-
ters have been confirmed in the opinions which they
have for a long time had relative to the Constitution
now in force. Founded genera'ly on sound prin-
ciples of public right, it was a great step towards the
establishment of a good monarchy, especially if it be
compared with the Constitution of 1812 ; but *never-

tireless it could not but feel the effect of the circum-
stances under which it was formed, and accordingly
nore than one important error was found. The first
pointed out, which experience has proved to be so
It is a fact that different ministries who have suc-
ceeded each other of different opinions, and even of
opposite principles, have all found more or less
obstacles in governing within the limits of the Con-
stiution, and have been obligel to violate some
of its dispositions, in order not to run the risk of
'eaving the authority of the Gove,rnment without de-
fence, and the tranquillity of the State exposed
to alterations and dangers. And when even that ne-
ceseity failed to a certain extent in preventing the
circumstances in which the kingdom found itself of
being troubled with revolutions and civil wars, it is
not less certain that an essential part of the evil
proceeds from a defect in some of the institutions.
It is thus that public opinion, and even a certain feel-
ing of self-preservation which animates the people,
have pointed out as necessary the reform of the con-
stitution, in order to give to the action of Government
a strength which is considered indispensable. Spain
has learned to its cost that when the power of the
Drown does not find in the institutions that rigour
and strength necessary to protect the interests
of the public and the rights of individuals, it
will fall of necessity into one of two extremes.
It will expose itself to the attacks of disorder and
marchy, or it will make use of illegal arms for
its own defence and that of society. Desirous to avoid
these two rocks, and to establish at the commence-
ment of your Majesty's reign a new era of legality
and of order, which promises to the throne glory and
splendour, and which ensures at the same time the
repose and the happiness of the nation, your Minis-
ters propose the following reforms of the Constitution
of the State, limiting themselves to those which they
consider necessary or fitting, for the reasons which
they are about to lay before your M tjesty shortly and
clearly. They believe, above all things, that the pre-
amble of the Constitution should be changed, con-
sidering unseasonable, if not even dangerous, the
principle which is announced in it, and from which
consequences may be drawn by no means conform-
able to the majesty and the security of the throne, and
to the harmony which ought to subsist between the
powers of the State. Far, then, from having recourse
to abstract principles more or less vague in
the origin of constitutions, your Ministers have thought
it preferable to announce a fact, namely, that in the
Constitution which is about to rule Spain, the Crown
and the Cortes concur in wishing to reconcile the an-
cient fueros or liberties of the nation with its present
state and wants, giving to the Cortes the right of in-
tervention, which it has always had, in the decision of
the important affairs of the monarchy. In this manner,
as far as is possible, will be obtained the inappreciable
advantage of giving as a basis for the Constitution the
united will of the monarch and of the representatives
of the nation, and the exaggerated pretensions will be
avoided of those two extreme parties, who ordinarily
commence by jealousies and rivalties, and finish by
overturning and scandal.
" In entering into an examination of the reform of
the Constitution, the Ministers will not stop to exa-
mine matters of little consequence. They will only
call your Majesty's attention to some of the principal
parts. The first paragraph of Art. 2 is left untouched.
In it is acknowledged the right of Spaniards to pub-
lish their thoughts, without their passing through the
hands of the censor, while they must conform to the
laws. Whatever may be the inconveniences of the
liberty of the press,
.and the abuse to which it has
been exposed in Spain, the spirit of the times and the
character of the institutions in force require that that
right should be considered sacred, and a fundamental
law. It is to be hoped that when people are a little
more calm, and when public manners have insensibly
improved, the press will consecrate itself to a more
noble object, the instruction and improvement of the
people. But while by the Constitution the Ministers
leave liberty to the press, they are of opinion that that
paragraph ought to be suppressed in which it is estab-
lished that the trial of all offences of the press should
belong exclusively to juries. It is unnecessary to
point out all the advantages, as well as inconveni-
ences, of such an institution. It is also unnecessary
to point out all those things of which Spain was a
witness at the two periods when juries were estab-
lished to judge of offences of the press; for no one is
ignorant of the fact that the most sacred objects are
exposed to all sorts of attacks—government without
defence, the reputation of individuality without pro-
tection, and impunity consecrated to the detriment
of the public weal and in contempt of the laws.
It is possible that the troubles of the epoch and
the loose given to political passion, which vitiate
similar institutions in times of trouble and revolt,
and which convert the sword of justice into the
weapon of party, has contributed to this result.
However that may be, your Ministers are of opi-
oofngts ritalo, thbeothCst
n ns regards
that this is not a point which properly be-
longs

which are to be adopted, according to the circum-
stances of the times. In short, the object of sup-
pressing juries in these cases is to prevent the hands
of the Government and the Cortes from being tied
up, if tha trial by juries in the offences of the press
should not succeed, and it should be found necessary
to have recourse to another mode of protecting so
precious a right against its own excesses and against
the wandering which commences by discrediting, and
generally finishes by destroying it. Reasons similar
to those stated have determined your Ministers to
propose the suppression of the first of the additional
articles, in which it is said that ' the laws will deter-
mine the time and the mode of the establishment of
trial by jury in every kind of offence.' This point,
like the preceding, will remain, as is required by its
nature, to be regulated in the codes without its being
necessary that it should be announced in the consti-
tutional law of the State.

" The principal reform which the Ministry consider
necessary is in regard to the Senate. Since the pub-
lication of the Constitution in 1837, it has been dis-
covered that the institution of the Senate is vicious.
It could only give the advantage of the division of
the legislative body into two branches instead of one.
However defective their organisation, it was in vain
that an attempt has been made to establish certain
differences between the two, by requiring that the
senators should be of more advanced age, and that
they should have means of existence and other qua-
lities required by the electoral law. These palliatives
could not remedy a radical fault in that body.
By the very fact the senators are elected by
the same persons who elect the deputies—the iden-
tity of origin destroys the basis of the institu-
tion. A body of that kind, to answer the intended
end, must have stability and firmness, must
be sheltered from the flux and reflux of popular opi-
nions, and must support the institutions of the state by,
its conservative spirit, and, at the same time, serve as
a regulator and counterpoise to the renovating and
progressive spirit which animates the Chamber of
Deputies. The Senate, as constituted, offers none of
these advantages, notwithstanding the presence of so
many illustrious persons among its members. Thus
we have plainly seen, within the few years of its ex-
istence, the faults of the institutions, and it is fortu-
nate that greater inconveniences have not arisen, as
might have been the case in a nation less grave and
reasonable then ours. Nevertheless, it is not the less
established that the time has arrived in which the
provisional Government was under the necessity, for
the public convenience, to renew the whole of the
Senate, thus giving a new testimony that the political
wheels are not constructed so as to run smoothly.
Without reckoning this and other extraordinary
cases, the frequent renewal of the senators
vitiates the very essence of the Constitution. It
is notorious that the Senate, by its present
organisation, is by no means conformable to the cha-
racter of monarehical government, even with the re-
strictive faculty allowed to the Crown of choosing be-
tween the three candidates elected by the people—a
faculty which often, and especially in times of popular
excitement, may become rather a subject of derision
than the exercise of a noble prerogative. These rea-
sons, and others too long to enumerate, have con-
vinced your Secretaries of State of the absolute neces-
sity of completely changing the constitution of the
Senate ; a serious change, it is true, but for which the
way has been cleared by public opinion, for there
are few subjects upon which enlightened men
are more unanimous. The principle of po-
pular election, which is only applicable to
the Chamber of Deputies, being once put
aside, and the Senate being about to be established on
a different footing, your Secretaries of State have
gravely considered the basis to be adopted for this im-
portant institution. It could not escape them that the
most natural element of such bodies, conservative as
they are in their nature, is the hereditary principle,
the principle of order and of stability analogous to
the very spirit of the monarchy, and which unites to
fidelity to the throne the independence necessary to
guard and maintain the liberties and privileges of the
nation. Your Secretaries of State would not have
hesitated to propose to draw a portion of that element
existing in Spain. Rejecting for the Senate both
popular election and the hereditary elements, your
Secretaries of State are of opinion that the Senate
should be for life, and on the nomination of the
Crown. Without pretending that this new essay shall
not be without inconvenience, they can affirm without
fear that the giving of that dignity for life offers
pledges of independence and stability. In order to give
the institution a certain prestige, and to prevent as far
as possible tlae honour from being given to persons
unworthy of occupying so eminent a post, the nomin-
ation must be limited to certain classes. It is true
that this limitation may in certain cases be inconve-
nient, but upon the whole, your Secretaries of State
have thought this plan preferable to that of allowing
the choice to be entirely free, and exposed to all the
influence of political passions, of favour, and of fami-
liarity. In the new organization of the Senate, those
will be allowed to enter who, by their high dignity,
by the services which they have rendered in their
respective careers, by their characters, by
their illustrious names, or by their fortunes
can give weight and value to the resolutions of a body
which ought to be the reflection of the national
glories, and the depot of ancient traditions. The
Senate being thus formed, it is to be hoped that it will
fulfil its principal duty, which is to concur with the
Crown and the Chamber of Deputies in the formation
of laws ; but your Secretaries of State have thought
that they could also invest it with judiciary functions
in certain determined cases—as, for instance, when
Ministers of the Crown are to be put on their
trial who have been impeached in due form by the
Deputies of the nation, or when one of its own
members is to be tried, or when, as shall be deter-
mined by the laws, offences against the Crown, or
against the State, shall be submitted to that re-
spectable body. This prerogative is given to the
Senate, not as a privilege, but as a charge in favour
of society itself, which cannot confide those sa-
cred objects to a higher or more independent body.
" Your Secretaries of State propose one single mo-
dification to Title IV. of the Constitution. It is that
the Deputies be elected for five years instead of three.
This change has a certain harmony with that which
is proposed with regard to the Senate. Both are a
part of a system. In a nation in which municipali-
ties, provincial deputations, and Chamber of Deputies
are all elective it is necessary to moderate to a cer-
tain degree this changeableness, so as not to trouble
the people too often with elections, for that is apt to
disgust them with the institutions themselves. It is
necessary, on the contrary, to endeavour to establish
a certain stimulus to system and order, which is dif-
ficult to reconcile with too frequent renewals. For
this reason your Secretaries of State think that five
years is more proper, to avoid the too frequent repeti-
tion of elections, while it does not go too much to the
other extreme of being too long a time without con-
sulting the national will.
" Your Secretaries of State will not stop to give their
reasons for suppressing the 27th article of the Con-
stitution, in which it is stated that if the King should
fail to bring together the Cortes before the Ist of De-
cember, it will assemble precisely on that day. The
very tenour of the article shows that as regards the
royal authority, it is inconvenient, and in every re-
spect useless for the defence of the rights of the na-
tian. When, to the misfortune of thrones and peo-
ple, a conflict of that kind arises between the powers
of the State, the articles of the Constitution, which
have already been destroyed, will not be appealed to.
" On examining the Bth article, relative to the mi-
nority of the Sovereign and to the Regency, your
Secretaries of State have found that the text
of the Constitution gives rise to serious in-
conveniences. According to the terms of the 57th ar-
ticle, in case of the vacancy of the throne, the im •
mediate successor being a minor, the Cortes ought to
name, to govern the kingdom, a Regency, composed
of one individual, or of three or five persons. Thus,
in all cases of minority of the Sovereign, it is for the
Cortes to proceed to the nomination of those who are
to be called upon to exercise, ad interim, the royal
power.
" Your Secretaries of State regard this provision as
not being in conformity with the character of an
hereditary monarchy. They think also that it may
expose the State, and often without necessity, to a
contest of parties, generally so excited and embittered
when it affects the conferring, even temporarily, the
exercise of the extreme power. They believe, in
short, that it is necessary to avoid as much as possi-
ble that the people should see immediately beneath the
throne persons making a display who are not of the
race of their princes, to whom the march of ages and
habitual veneration has given at the same time a pres-
tige and authority.

govern the kingdom until the Cortes proceed to that
nomination. In default of a father or mother there
should be called to the Regency the relative the
nearest heir to the throne, inasmuch as it will unite
age and indispensable circumstances.

Thus will be filled up the great blank occasioned
by the minority of the King, by favour of a means
analogous to that which is observed in the succession
to the throne. The risks will thus be avoided which
might aupervene in the interval, however short it may
be, between the decease of the monarch and the no-
mination of the Regency ; and .on the occurrence of
this deplorable event there will be found some one
fitted to take in hand the reins of the State, without
uncertainty or violence, by a natural transition pro-
vided for beforehand, and calculated to captivate, with-
out effort, the obedience and the respect of the people.
" These reflections, and others not less powerful,
have induced your Secretaries of State to propose this
very important modification as regards the Regency ;
but with respect to what affects the care and the tute-
lage of the minor King, they have found no reason to
modify the text of the GOth article of the Constitution,
inasmuch as it is not less in conformity with sound
principles of policy as to the ancient laws and CLIS •
toms of the monarchy. The last modification pro-
posed by your Secretaries of State is the suppression
of the 77th article, by which it is enacted that there
shall be in each province corps of national militia, the
organisation and the service of which shall be regu-
lated by a special law. This is not the moment to
examine the advantages and the inconveniences of this
institution, and still less of tracing its history in
Spain ; it is too modern to be able to be presented
with the wished-for impartiality. Without entering
into the examination of either the one or the other
point, it is sufficient for your Secretaries of State to
be convinced that the existence of the national guard
neither is nor ought to be the subject matter of a con-
stitutional article.

" Such are the principal reforms which your minis-
ters propose, and, if your Majesty authorises them,
they will have the honour of submitting them to the
Cortes. Because they desire that there should be in
Spain institutions similar to those which give so much
power and splendour to other monarchies, they pro-
pose, without hesitation, in conformity with their duty,
those changes and meliorations in the Constitution
which will correct defects from which no human con-
trivance is exempt, and assure its complete and punctual
execution for the future. Thus we shall impose silence
on those who pretend that a nation cannot be granted
the exercise of its legitimate rights without exposing
the throne to danger ; and on those who wish that no
limits should be placed to liberty, as if that were not
an infallible means to make it degenerate anarchy.
" We pray to God, Madame, to grant to your Ma -
jesty, whom He has protected in such an evident
manner in your earliest years, the inexpressible happi-
ness of recompensing the nation for the great sacrifices
it has made, by founding its prosperity and its glory
on the faithful observance of the laws.

THE PENSIONERS.

The following information has been afforded to us
respecting this body of men, and may be interesting
to our readers. The United Kingdom is divided into
a certain number of districts, in each of which the
pensioners from the army are under the command of
a commissioned officer, who sees that the men are paid
monthly. Scotland is divided into ten districts.
The Edinburgh district contains about 1,630 pen-
sioners, the military commandant being Captain
Tulloch, lately 90th regiment. From the whole
number, about 300 men who are fit to bear arms
have been selected and enrolled for the purpose of
being occasionally called out for a few days, and dis-
ciplined according to Act of Parliament. The en-
rolled men are clothed by Government, and each
man receives a bounty of 1/. annually from the same
source. They also receive each 2s. daily, with-
out any deduction from their pension during
the period they may be called out for training,
and 2s. 6d. when called out to aid the civil
power. 'When on duty, they are liable to the
provisions of the Mutiny Act and Articles of
War, exactly in the same way as soldiers
of the regular army. They have lately been on
duty in this, and, we believe, in the other districts,
for a period of six days, during which they were
drilled from two to three hours daily. Only four
cases of military delinquency occurred, all con-
sisting of the same offence, namely, inebriety. As
a warning to others to abstain from intemperance,
their names were erased from the roll, and their
uniforms taken into store. Considering the alleged
inconsiderate character of old soldiers, their con-
duct has on this occasion been in general most exem-
plary, regular, and highly praiseworthy. For the
most part the able-bodied pensioners who reside in
Edinburgh, have obtained some employment, by
which means they are able to add a little to their
pensions, and much praise is due to their employers
for having permitted them to attend the regular drills
and parades. In the corps there are fourteen men
who have Waterloo medals, sixteen with good-con-
duct medals, and thirty-two served in the Peninsula.
We have already adverted to the circumstance of the
force having been inspected by General Sir Neil
Douglas, the Sheriff, Provost, and other municipal
authorities, who were all highly pleased with the
steady and soldier-like manner with which they exe-
cuted a number .of military manoeuvres.--Scotch Paper.

ARNICA MONTANA, OR LEOPARD'S BANE.
NERVOUS DEAFNESS.—ThiS plant is a native of Ger•
many, and belongs to the class Syngenesia ; order,
Pulygamia superflua of Linnmus, and to the tenth class;
third order, Corymbiferre of Jussieu. It is placed in the
System of De Candolle in the Coro11;fioral Exogens,
ordeps Asteracce or Composite. In the " Materia
Medics" it is classed with the Narcotics, and, from
its botanical position, it may be considered as a
Narcotico-acrid. The flowers, leaves, and root, have
been applied to medical purposes. The flowers of
this plant have a slightly fetid smell, and a taste gene•
trating and bitter. The infusion from maceration in
water shows that both the taste and smell are
extracted during the process. When administered
their stimulating power and narcotic effects are
evidenced in their action on the general system. In
a moderate dose they increase the force of the circula-
tion, and they further serve to give tone to the mus-
cular fibre. In larger doses they induce purging, vomit-
ing, &c., which are sometimes succeeded by pains in the
muscles of voluntary motion, vertigo, and occasionally
convulsions. According to Dupuytren, the emetic
effects arise from certain downy particles from the plant,
which got diffused through the infusion. This infusion
has been very successfully exhibited in amaurosis,
paralysis, convulsive disorders, and also in rheumatism
and gout (and the last two years by Dr. Cronin in
nervous deafness, and palpitation of the heart, since
which time several eminent surgeons have testified to its
efficacy). The root of this plant is tunic and aromatic,
so much so, that it has been used as a substitute ftrr
Peruvian bark.—From Dr. Cronin's, Craven-street.

CAPTURE OF THREE SHARKS.-011 Saturday last
while some of the fishermen employed at Hood's Head
fishery were drawing in their nets, they experienced,
like the fisher in the Eastern tale, great difficulty in
bringing them to land. When their task was at length
accomplished, the obstruction was found to arise, not
from an iron casket enclosing a genii, but from a couple
of young sharks which had got entangled in the meshes,
and were making furious struggles to escape from the
unwonted prison. Both measured upwards of seven feet
in length. The stomach of one containing a grilse and
a trout. After the oil had been extracted, the carcases
were removed to a field near Townhill Colliery to serve
as manure. On the Tuesday previous, one equally large
was caught, making three of these voracious and dan-

This is a most acceptable and important contri-
bution to the political literature and constitutional
history of the present times. The " preface" does
great credit to the style and legal acumen of its
editor; and inasmuch as it embodies in a terie and
concentrated form a review of some important facts in
the history of the case hitherto overlooked, or not
sufficiently noted by a large body of the Ewzlish
public, we make no apology fbr here repeating it.
" Considering the excitement with which the recent
state prosecution was accompanied from the beginning,
and the importance which was attributed t the ultiinate
result, it was naturally to he cxpected that the final judg-
ment of the House of Lords, upon whichever side it
might happen to be delivered, would excite the censure
of that party which had been unsuccessful in the litiga-
tion; and such, although to a very small extent, has been
the actual consequence. It is not intended here to re-
argue the questions which have been set at r, at, or
again expose the rtasonings, which bay.. been repro-
duced in other quarters, after hiving failed at the bar:
still less is it deemed necessary to defend the motives of
those by whom the judgment was pronounced, or by
whose opinion it was supported. But as an array of all
the judicial persons, both here and in Ireland, who have
taken part in the proceedings, has been put forward, to
show that the '()Teat majority was in favour of the judg-
ment of the Court of Queen's Bench in Dublin, 1 shall
take leave to make one or two remarks upon that part of
the subject.
" And, first, as to the great question upon which the
reversal has turned,—namely, the validity of the sixth
and seventh counts,—all the Law Lords and Judges of
England, with the single exception of Lord Brougham,
differ from the unanimous opinion of the four Irish
Judges. The majority in mere numbers is twelve to
five. 4

" On the question, whether a general judgment is
good, where some of the counts on which it proceeded
are invalid, as the Irish Judges gave no opinion, the
majority is less than it has been represented, consisting
of two Law Lords and six Judges, against three Law
Lords and two Judges, eight to five.t
" Perhaps, however, the only notice that ought to be
taken of such statements, is by referring to the nature
and office of a court of error, and the duty imposed upon
it by its own essential constitution. That the authority
of the Judges, whose decision is impugned, ought not to
prevent the freest examination of the grounds on which
it rests, is not only proved by numberless precedents,
and by the character of the proceeding itself; but is ex-
emplified -in a striking manner in this very case, in
which four out of five of the Lords, who voted in accord-
ance with the reported opinion of all the English Judges,
overturned the unanimous judgment which the Court
below had given in favour of the goodness of the two
bad counts. That the House of Lords ought to listen
with deference to the Judges, but ought not to adopt
their opinions against its own conviction, is a truth
beyond controversy./
" The following judgment is published in its present
form, on account of the vast importance of the principles
discussed.
" The question whether the true import of the expres-
sion for his said offences,' in the judgment of the Court
below, be that the punishment was awarded in respect of
all the facts indicted as offences, may be styled a tech-
nical, or possibly a grammatical question. But if it be
answered aff►rmatively (as the deliberative judgment of
the Court below almost forces us to conclude), surely
nothing can be more alarming than the doctrine by which
alone the general judgment can be upheld,—viz., that a
defendant may be punished for conduct which is not for-
bidden by the law. For, first, the proceeding is in itself
unjust ; and, secondly, the openness to abuse that besets
such a practice in any case, but especially in prosecutions
for libel, and for political offences in general, is too ob-
vious to require exposure.

" The other subject of this judgment is of a still more
interesting character.
" The Jury Act, passed by Sir Robert Peel for
England, in 1824, was well adapted to secures fair
jury ; in this country it has worked well, has stood the
test of experience, and no distrust or suspicion has at-
tached to its operation. There is no reason for believing
that it has not been strictly complied with in every single
instance.

"In 1833 a similar Act was passed for Ireland. It has
given rise to much dissatisfaction, and has been more than
once brought under judicial cognizance.
" In a case before Lord Chief Justice Doherty (R. v.
Fitzpatrick)§, the array was challenged upon the allega-
tion that the Recorder had improperly decided upon cer-
tain claims and objections. His Lordship thought that
these judicial acts could not be so questioned; an opinion
by no means at variance with Lord Denman's argument,
which, on the contrary, assumes its correctness. But the
Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Ireland expressed
his intention to have reserved even this point for consi-
deration, if the party had been convicted; from a just
sense, undoubtedly, of the vital importance of preserving
the selection of juries not only from abuse, but even from
suspicion.

"In R. r. Conrahyll the challenge to the array was
held radically bad, because the excluded names wore not
specified. Mr. Justice Torrens at the same time took
the opportunity of extrajudicially pronouncing the ob-
jection insufficient, upon the ground that all the enact-
ments of the Jury Act were (as he thought) merely
directory. This epithet is well understood by lawyers as
describing such directions as, though enjoined by statute,
nobody is bound to obey.
" From this extrajudicial dictum it appears to follow,
that any book whatever, placed in the sheriff's hands, if
entitled the jury book, must be received and acted upon
as authentic and complete. Full license would be pro-
claimed, not only to every officer, but to every other
person who could by force or fraud possess himself of the
lists, to do with them whatever he chose. If sixty names
had been objected to before the Recorder, but expressly
adjudged by him to be entitled to be retained, the ob-
jector would only have to purloin the list which con-
tained therm: or if hundreds or thousands had been, :.fier
judicial inquiry, struck off by the Recorder, still, if they
could be fraudulently re-inserted, they:must remain upon
the list, as the material from which, perhaps exclusively,
the juries must be composed.
" Such a license, according to general report, has in
Ireland been freely assumed—to an extent, indeed,
which would seem to warrant a statement that the Jury
Act of 1833 has never been practically in operation in
that country. If a rigid enforcement of the Act should
be likely to produce public inconvenience, the extreme
laxity which is said to have prevailed is fraught with in-
numerable evils of a much worse description. When
public attention has been effectually called to the sub-
ject, the Legislature will probably devise some effectual
means of avoiding the inconvenience, and preventing the
injustice.
"As Lord Denman observed, in the course of his
judgment, that he had committed to writing some state.
ments which he did not propose to address to the House,
I took the liborty of requesting to bo favoured with the
inspection of the papers to which he alluded, with a view
to their insertion in the present publication. His Lord-
ship was pleased in the most obliging manner to comply
with this request, and to place the whole of the memo-
randa in question at my disposal, to be used according to
my own discretion. As they were composed at various
periods during the short interval between the close of the
circuit and the day appointed for the re-assembling of the
House, they necessarily included some actual repetitions
as well as some brief expressions of opinions which are
more fully developed in the judgment as delivered. But the
unprecedented interest and admiration excited among all
parties by the delivery of this noble address—in every
respect so worthy of the transcendent importance of the
subject—induce me to believe that the public will be
happy to hear that I have exercised to the smallest pos-
sible extent the power of retrenchment with which I was
invested in so confiding and condescending a manner,
and that the papers in question, which are almost all
printed at the end of the present publication, contain a
full exposition of the whole of his Lordship's opinions
upon every part of the case."
