MT. 111 NT then roceeded to support the objer-

Lions which be had laid down on a former day.
He relied principally upon his first point, vim
thit the lodge had rejected 'videos, which might
to hare been received. He contended, that even
if evidence of the attack of the cavalry had not
in the first place been strict'y admissible, still it
became so the moment that evidence had been offered
un ti.e pitrt of the prostration to 'hew resistance on
the part of the people. Their Lo dships would recol-
lect the evidence of Mr. Hnl on, and although that
evidence bail been completely beaten down by the state-
ments of a number of respectable people, still the Leai-n-
-ed Judge was bound to give it to the Jury, and it
was impossible to say, that that evidence (impro-
bable and unsupported as it was) might not have
had some influence on the minds of the Jurors.
Mr. Hunt then proceeded to i:lnstrate his argument by
a suppositious case :—" Suppose(saTtPhe) that a per-
son attempts to break into, or has already brOken into
my house. if I knock this man down in the attempt,
and be indicts me for assault, shall I be prevented
from proving that he was breaking into my home,
because such proof may be of prejudice to him,
when he is afterwards tried for the fe.ony ?" Mr.
Hunt also cited two other cases, pointing out the
analogy which existed between them and his own case.
Evidence had been reoeived that the people had at-
tacked the cavalry, and it would only have been com-
mon fairness to have allowed him to show the pro-
vocation which the people hail received. Besides,
some of the Jury might have read the speeches thick
had been made in Parliament on this subject ; they
might have read how the cavalry were said to have
teen at ached aids clubs and brick-bats ; how the
Magistrates were said to have been ascanlted, trodden
under foot, an. almost put to death ; and unless
he was permitted to meet this
tien .e. the minds of the Jury mile
a bias. Indeed, he knew that some
