SENTENCE FOR PERJURY.

SENTENCE FOR PERJURY.
The court of common pleas and general

found. The commission Of crimes appears
to baye received great check. / he

There was but one conviction. Joseph
Perry was convicted Of perjury, and sem

Joseph Perry, the prisoner at the bar
You have been arraigned before this court
on an indictment for the heinous crime OF

thing active on III. part Of the sovereign

thing active on the part Of the sovereign
making il, "He who grants thu passage,
says vattei, ais, as far as lies in his power.
to take care that Il should be safe" That
is, he is not only not TO injure. but to pro-
tect the army while in his territory.
This is certainly reasonable construc-
ton ofthe grant; but if the implication be
necessary, the necessity cannot be abSo'
lutte or indispensable.
The care of grant of house to one
man, and of garden to another, which
could be entered only through the house, is
put by Vattel as an example ofthe restr'c-
tius, in opposition to the er'en"Os inter-
probation. Hampden cannot mean to give
this example as forming general rule
that construction is always restrictive, and
never extensive; and never even reasonable.
In truth, the only principle which can
be extracted from vattel, and safely laid
down as general Independent rule is, that
parts are to be understood according TO the
intention of the parties, and shall be con-
strued literally, or restrictively, as may
best promote the objects for which they
were made. For this refer to his whole
chapters on the faith, and on the interpre'
tation of treaties. "The uncertainty of the
sense" he observes, ID. 2. sec. 282) "that
ought to be given 10 law or treaty, does
not proceed from the obscurity, orany other
fault in the expression, but also from the
narrow limits of the human mind, which
cannot foresee all cases and circumstances,
or include all the consequences OF what is
appointed or promised; and, in short. from
the impossibility Of entering into the i'm
mense detail. We can only make laws or
treaties in general manner, and the inter-
probation ought to apply them to particular
cases conformably to the intention Of the
legislature and of the contracting powers"
"Again, (sec. 1881 he says, eve do not
presume that sensible persons bad nothing
in view in treating together, or in forming
any other serious agreement. The inter-
probation 1ghich renders treaty null, and
apithout effect cannot then. be admitted"
1t ought to be Interpreted IN such a mnnn,r
as that it may haze its effect, and not be
found rain and illu.iue." "It is necessary
to give the words that sense which ought
to he presumed most conformabie TO the in
tention of those who speak. III many diff
ferent interpretations present themselves,
proper to avoid the nu!lity Or absurlity Of
a treaty, we ought to prefer that which ap-
pears most agreeable TO the intention for
which it was Dictated"
I trust then Hampden will not charge
me, as he has charged The supreme court.
with using thigh sounding cords" when.
in his own language, say that " take it
to be clear principle Of universal law-of
the law Of nature, of nations, of war. and
of reason" that all instruments are to be
construed fairly, so as to give effect to their
intention. and appeal with confidence to
the authority to which Hampden has intro
duced US, to support my proposition.
