Comments of Leandre Ducharn,e.

1t has been stated by John Lewis Grant,
tho first witness on the part Of the Prose-
cutlon, that he saw me in arms at Cha
teaugay, on his arrival there, at an early
hour, in the evening OF the Sd of Nov.
last. 1t is not astonishing, (however to
be regretted,) that man who was, on
that occasion, Gas it was proved by Mrs.
Boudria,) in stale Of intoxication, should
make a statement so false, SD positively
disproved by two unimpeachable witness
es, with whom ] spent that night and a
part Of the following day, up to noon, in
the parish OF Lachine, on the other side of
the lake, and at the distance Of three
leagues from the place where Grant pre-
tends he saw me. But, that another wit
ness whom we must presume to have been
IN his sober senses, since nothing to the
contrary has been proved; an individual
invested with the sacred character Of a
magistrate, should so far forego his duty
as Christian, bound 50 not TO bear false
testimony against his neighbour" as not
only TO declare positively that ! was in
arms at Chaieaugay, on the 4th of Nov,
at down OF day, bot also, on SATURDAY the
10Th; although il has been proved by my
witnesses, beyond shadow of doubt, that
on the 9TH, at that hour, ! was at Lschne,
and on the 10th, in the common gaol OF
this district, which entered on the 7th OF
that month, and have since inhabited. Mr..
Mcdonald presumed, no doubt that the
close confinement which am subjected to,
would preclude all possibility of evidence
being procured 10 rebuff these ST atements;
that none but the eye Of the Unseen would
be enabled to detect fraud so well cslcu-
lated to effect his neiarious designs; but,
thanks to my kind friends, ample means
been afforded me, not only To convince
you, Gentlemen, Of the falsity Of his testi-
mony with regard 60 myself, but, doubtless,
10 induce you, likewise, TO reject all his
testimony. True, after having heard his
evidence contradicted by my witnesses,
Mi. Mcdonald stated, in answer 10 q
question proposed 10 him by the Court,
that. owing To the excitement and confa-
sion of the moment, he might have fallen
into error, in stating that he saw me on
The 10th. Such an error might possibly
have occurred, were that statement taken
alone: but when considered in connexion
with the conversation which he asserted
lie had with me, on that occasion, the pos.
tive averment that was the leader Of b.:

that your minds are above being tainied

governed in your deliberations by the fol.
lowing propositions, upon which, before
commenting separately upon the evidence
addDced, as well against, as in favour ol

Firstly, The rules and doctrine of evil
dence, as admitted by law in all criminal
cases, or on pleas OF the crown, are ad
hered to in the same manner upon trials of
courts martial, the only exceptions being
where the proceeding have been otherwise
regulated by the statute.
Secondly, That cases Of High Treason.
being IN no wise contemplated by the Sta
iute, either as 10 the mode of trial, or the
NEED oil punishment, must be regulatedyby
the Aforesaid rules and doctrine of evidence
before Courts Martial, (if such Courts can
ever be competent 10 take cognizance of
offences OF that nature.)
Thirdly, That two lawful and, Ito use
The language Of the old authors provea-
Ole witnesses are required, to convict
prisoner in all such cases OF High Treason.
Fourthly, That there exists no crime
where the will counteracts the deed; or in
other words, that threats and menaces,
duress per minas, which induce fear o!
death or OF bodily BARN, take away for
that reason the guilt Of apparent crime, at
least before the human tribunal. See
Blackstone, vol. a, p. 90, Edition of 1895.
We give below the comments of Messrs.
Leandre Ducharme, Jean Marie Hilbert,
Joseph N. Cardinal, Joseph Duqueue,
Lepailleur, Guimond & Dusault, to show
TO our readers how much confidence could
be put IN the witnesses brought by the
Crown. The first witness, John Lewis
Grant was, according 10 evidence adduced
drunk during all the trouble; and the
second, John Mcdonald, was so confused
and troubled that he swore 10 Ducharme
and j. NJ. Hilbert, being at Lapigeonniere,
