AFFECTING INCIDENT.

An Incident of an affecting and expressive
| nature laleiy occarfed at the Old Bailey,
which too slrlEln;ly illustrates the moral
uniilnrss Of the frlions and fnrmaillrs of
! British Law. Il man charged ON five indict-
menls with uttcrng forged notes, plead
! guilty. The recorder expressed hope
| that he would not persist IN this plea, as if
i he did, grntcucr of death must be passed
! upon him and advised him 10 pursue u
different course. The prisoner replied, " |
am aware Of an awful eternity a; therefore
! | fear Ia utter f,larhpad. II mercy can.
not be extended here, hope to receive it
fom my Creator.o The recorder propo-
acd thai the prisoner might have Time 10
consider, hut he firmly expressed his de-
/ rmluaton of perslsllng in the plea "
guilty. His life will probably pay the pc
nalty of his adherence to truth. A lie IL
the price at which cnlprit is admitted to
all The chcancrics Of the law, scruple Of
conscience is fatal; but let him utter a
fii5ehood and tho subiletits of the law offer
I a thousand chances Ia escape. There is
indeed something ,hockingy anomalous in
