de-
Tit! NEW MONTH I.T GASINII PIM
pendently of the contributiotti of persons of the first
talent, which may be expected in future to fill the
pages of this Journal, it must be confesr.ed that the
new plan on which it is now printed, gives it a nm-ked
additional superiority.. Part of this new plan con-
sists in the printing of the Original Papers in a large
type, similar to the Edinburgh and (quarterly Re-
views, the paginz, being so arranged, that at the end
of the year the Literary Essays may be bound up se-
parately from the i‘liscelianeous Departments, which
will together form a distinct Volume, for general re-
ference; thus combining in the same Work, the seve-
ral characters of a Magcrzine, a Review, and an An-
meal Register.

The Itr.conrmt observed, he could not find
his heart to punish the prisoners, from their
poverty. He therefore directed the Keeper ,

instructed them how to proceed. The priso;

Mr. Campbell said, he had no ob;ection

begged to know by what authority he was
upon to prosecute? H. had made up his
to be the prosecutor, for he could not, in hi
be legally a prosecutor in a criminal case.
The LORD NIAyoR said, the Act of Parliamei
dered is imperative upon the person robbed

The City Solicitor was sent frr, and up

Mr. Campbell defied the City Solicitor to

there existed an er:or in the manner of binding
parties to prosecute. The Act merely required,
persons should be hound over to give evidence;
of course Mr. Campbell was in the right.
The word prosecute was then blotted out of
cognizance, and Mr. Campbell signed the'
quiring hint merely to give evidence.
As soon as the boy was ordered to be committed,
Mr. Campbell said, he should take care :hie
