that the Judges and attorney-general

~ohoiuSid olC security 10 the
subject, that if the king sought his ruin
unJustiy, the people were for that very
reason his friends and their officer Sc
lected a jury for his trial. The corrupt
slave of despot might preside at his
trial, but an impartial jury had the pow
er OF passing between him and his king.
lh's security was efectuallv removed. |
by abolishlng popular elections, and pla-
cling the sherifI's Office under the patron
age OF the judges and great officers of |
the Kingdom. But when the Judges we're
rendered independent, the sherif's Of
ice followed the same fate the Judges
constituted a majority of the council of
appointment, and being themselves in
dependent OF the crown, the crown could |
no longer influence the sherifs. Thus, |
by accident, and fortunate course of |
events, that very instrument which des- |
pOtlsm had conTived for the subjects |
destruction, became a shield for his pro-
lection and the world saw, for the first
time, a judiciary, in all respects indie
pendent of corrupt influence, under
whose authority the innocent object Of
klngly or popular fury, could, with equal
i4'y' Idd6h 10 SCOfn q monarch and !
a mob.
When the judiciary became emanci,
pated from slavery, the bill of rights be-
gan to operate, and sense of Justice |
returned to the nation. The parliament
began to try the victims of its former
corruption and malice. 1t proceeded to
reverse attainders which had dispraced !
the late reigns, and to restore to their |
descendants, the fortunes, and as far as
they could, the honours, Of honest men
long since in their graves. They for
teited the estate Of JeGries, and from
that period to the present day, they have
been examining the guilt or innocence
OF patriots condemned and executed
without trial. Among others, they
nave since acquitted Johnston, Lord
Kussel, Algernon Sidney, and Alder
man Cornish: and, as far as my memo
! ry serves me, no attainder has taken
| place, which It has afterwards been
! found necessary to reverse, from the
year 1901 to the present time.

exercise Of this power, together with the
kings nan o6Stonfe, and sitSbendine and
dispensing powers, among other things,
brought Charles the First to the block.
and was one OF the causes of the final
expulsion OF the Stewart family. The
cruel and inhuman use Of these powers
under the celebrated Ieffrics, must be
known to every gentleman IL this COM
mittee.
On rendering the crown to William
the Third and Mary the Second, the
lords and commons framed the bill of
rights, which the king sanctioned. 1t
repealed the S'.Stend1ng and dispensing
powers it abolished the court Of high
commission it prohibited the raising
money from the people without consent
of parliament: the maintaining of stand

cruel and unusual punishlnents, and de-
manding excessive bail. 1t provided
Cor the liberty Of the press and of speech;
and 1t, moreover, secured the due i'm
pannelling Of jurors, and declared that
IN cases OF high treason these should be
freeholders.
Finding by fatal experience, that laws
were insufficient for the happiness of the
people, unless faithfully dispensed by
the judges and that Judges appointed
