passages which have foe vied t he chs err against him,con-
silt of en unrestrained but philnaispbically jestcomment
upon the Cede NA ro LLCM, sod more especially withal
relating to criminal process. From one part " the
Authorities might deprive the citizens of their li-
berty under the slightest pretests, and keep them fnr
a long time in chains without bringing them to trial.
Their discretionary power, added to then formation of
Juries at their • ill, made them almost sure of obtain-
ing convictions."—Another passage which is alleged
against M. BAVOCI, is one in which he quotes the
authorities of BECCARIA and of [kettle'', in dis-
approbation of the prodigality with which the po-
nistirriont of dea.b is scattered through the Penal
Code, more especially es to crimes against the State.
" It is here," he says. 6• that the distrustful end
suspicious character of the Imperial Goverommit
manifests itself in the first class of crimes against
the eaterual and internal safety of the Stat..; it plaits
plots and crimes against the Prince and hi, family.—
We are not astonished that the Legislator has busied
Muswelf ivies this crime before any other. What is
itemarkable is, that he has placed in the saute rank
plots and overt-acts (allen/a/s), in spite of the
enormous difference stitch *aisle between them."—
(Here the author captained the tisamin's respel-
ls(' plots and overt-acts, con:plot et cliental, and
elbowed that th• enactment in the case of iesc-nasjes(b
(high treason) was directly contrary to the prac-
tice respecting ether crimes, in which the design to
commit a crime is considered equal to the crime
itself, wept when it is manifested by overt-acts.) -
