SOLEAI QUIS DICERE FiILSUM AUDEAt

LONDON,
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER. 7, 189.0,

It is evident from the conduct of those Public
Journals which espouse the Cause of Tut QUEEN,
that the spirit of Party has made them dead to
all sense of morality and justice, insomuch as to
be indifferent even to the appearance of it. The
ATTORNEY-GENERAL has applied for time to
produce more Witnesses, Whose testimony he
declares to be important to the Case. These
Witnesses had approached near to this Country,
but learning the ill-treatment which the other
Witnesses had received on their arrival at
Dover, and probably hearing of the infamous
manner in which those other• Witnesses. had
been assailed in the Factious Journals of this
country, particularly The Old Times, they sud-
denly retreated, and it was difficult to trace
However, when found, and receiv.
ng assurances of protection from the Bri-
tish Government, they consented to come and
give their testimony on the occasion. If de-
pendence is to be placed on the evidence al-
ready given, and if it should not be disproved, by
e Counsel for the defence, more Witnesses

seem to be wholly unnecessary ; but in or-
der to give the fullest illustration to the
cause, and to ascertain the truth to the en-
tire satisfaction of mankind, the Counsel for
the Prosecution are naturally desirous of the

most complete investigation., that no possible
doubt may rest upon the decision, whatever it
may ultimately prove. Can it be believed, that
the Counsel for the Defence would hazard the
reputation of their Client so far as to object to
the delay necessary for producing other . Wit-
nesses, whose testimony may be essential to the
developement of truth and the satisfaction of
justice ? Yet such is the case, though they leave
the world to infer that they are afraid of the
testimony of those other Witnesses who had been
driven from our shores by the violence of a mob
and the libellous assaults of an infamous Public
Press.—And, strange to say, the Journalists, who
are not tied down like the Counsel to the de-
fence of their Client, condemn the requisition of
the ATTORNEY-GENERAL for more time to bring
farther evidence, and consequently she that
they are afraid that truth may be injurious to the
Royal Defendant. We still forbear to draw in-
ferences from the evidence already given, and
are anxious that all possible lights may be
thrown upon a subject of such national import-
ance. But again supposing only the possibility
that IIER MAJESTY may be guilty of all the al-
leged offences, we should, as we before observed,
consider them as the deplorable consequences of
a disease which, wherever it prevails, overbears
reason in proportion to the violence of its ascen-
dancy. If then the disease actually existed, it will
fully account for all the enormous violations of de-
cency imputed to lIERMAJESTY, and it may be in-
ferred, that the disorder having abated, or perhaps
entirely left her, she has recovered her reason; that
she now loaths the object of her former lament-
able attachment, and that the infirmity has swept
away with it all remembrance of the shocking
excesses to which it had betrayed its pitiable
victim.

Since we wrote the foregoing article, we find
hat the ATTORNEY-GENERAL has this day with-

drawn his request for more time to adduce far-
ther evidence, having stated to the House that it
would require a longer time to bring forward the
new Witnesses than he had apprehended. Still,
however, the arguments against the opposition to
his request retain all their force in sheaving that the
spirit of party, and not a zeal for truth, prompt-
ed that 'opposition ; while, on the other hand, it
appears obvious that the Counsel for the Pro_
secution rely on the validity of the evidence that
they have hitherto brought forward.
