Tar it or BAIDLg.—W• do sot approve of the very
great ketones, which is shown by the Chronicle to
make this man act more guilty than he has been proved.
Ile has bees the subject of a g meet prosecution,
en some charges, and the result of the trial has been,
Li. acquittal on all but one charge, and on that one
recommended to mercy ; the charges were for conduct
dating his administration of the office of jailer for 17
years, aod with the one exception proved by the ver-
dict of the Jury, his conduct really does, we are booed
to confess, for the whole of this long time appear to
Lave been really excellent. IVe most be base, and de-
serve contempt, were we not pointedly to make this
a—nowiedeetnent; at any rate, we do make a point
of it as 'satisfaction is oarselves, and at the sante time
express out sincere pleasure that we heti!, up to the
trial of Hume, been greatly deceived as to his cha-
mfer. This is an explaostion for any mistaken
opit.ioo tic may hare heretofore given on the
ou':;-ct, There really does not appear to have been
motives made out, or even asc riled, to justify any one
in lending Lis eats to the tales of the enormities of
which Balms has been accused. 'there most be some
motive or other for particular acts of extraordinary
severity ; supposing these acts to have been at his sole
oad unadvised instigation, Ire must have had his motives
of rrveige or his purposes to effect: but what single
Tramp was there advanced in evidence, or even in the
speech of Sergeant Peti. (who knows so well bow to
lay upon a poor devil) to make the horrible tales credi-
Lie ? It may be said to be sure, that a man may be a
''ter; that when a man is a monster, cruelty is his
' that when he has a jail full of poor creatures
command, he is only taking his pleasure
lotting in practice his unmerciful and
is disposition in torturing and afflicting
'fortunate and defenceless creatures. Tree :
