Yesterday the Court of Kink's Bench refused the rule for a
new t; satin the case of The King .against Sit Francis Bur-
dett, and thereby established, among many monstrous
tions,• the doctrineS that guilt May be presumed where evi-
dence is ittsudicien't, and that a letter sealed !up and put into
Post,otlice., terbe-opt mil in a distant county, is
tnin of such letter in the place where it was so sealed and:
committed to the Post otliee. Mr. Justice Best alleged that
these doctrines were founded not upon any obscure rule' of
law, not upon any decision of former Judges, or ally enact-
ment of the Lrgistatin e, hut upon the cummon sense of meri-
t:lnd! ' such 55Sti tiall,z; we really. lit,oW not What to MT-
