For the Standard.
A word in reply to " Poo Legis," in the last Reg
he himself falls into several errors He says Judge
Chase did not preside at the trial of Fries for rea
son. He was committed at the first trial. but Judges
Iredell and Peters granted him new trial-3 v. Dali
las 315. After this. in May, 1900, Judge Chase is
reported to have charged the jury it the duty
of the Court in that and in all criminal cases,
10 the Jury their opinion of the law arising the
facts but the jury were to decide on that and oil
cri minaI cases boLs The aaU and the acs their
s6eration of the VIII ole case."-Chases' trial by Ev
ans, App. 1915. So in reference to his English
authority. He saws Judge Best in the case OF Levi
the law from the Court an they found against the
charge of the Court, new trial was granted This
is true, but that ciuiL suit, and what the Judge
said about criminal trials mere dtcfum, which
he had afterwards to qualify. On the motion tor
trial he said with regard to Grim nal cases, 1t
trial could not be granted but if they found gaiEst
the defendant and against law, new trial might be
granted.'-l3, E. G. R.-S96.
The of Sir Francis Burdett, was criminal
prosecution, in which the Judge Best presided.
On the motion for trial on the point of the right
of the jury decide the law, he says he said to the
jury, 81 am ofopiRion it is libel however added
that they (the jury) were to decide auhether they
,UouM ADOPT my opinion" Thus most clearly con-
ceding the point oftEe uys right decide for them
selves. The Chief Justice Abbott says, {" The jury
are at liberty to exercise their own Judgment upon
the whole matter in ssue."-6, E. e. R. 395. This
is now the we'll settled law in England, that the jury
have the right to pass upon the whole matter in is
sue. Why say the Judge has the exclusive right to
declare the law, yet the jury may follow the Court at
the Judge to state what he thinks TO be the law, but
the jury, with all due respect for the Judge, have the
right to decide the law, and there is appeal from
their decision, and SO may it ever be. V. z.

Great Discovery.

The English Railway Times has the follow
ing:
The decomposition Of water has at length been
obtained, and that at u merely nominal cost. and
with unsrriug precision. Thi, great disco.e.
~, originating in America, has been perfected
by the experiments Of all eminent German
chemist, and patented in the three kingdoms
by Mr.. Shepard. The oarburettsd hydrogen
may be formed to any extent, which, possessing
an Illuminating power equal to that OF coal gas
10 capable Of being itself applied to the same
purposes IS steam, at remarkably high pressure.
This gas is also capable Of producig all amount OF
calorio equal to that Of live COAL and consequent
~ well and chsaply fitted to oct as combust'
lie agent in the conversion Of water into steam
The discovery Of this tremendous power al
most opens TO the wondering gaze the utopiai
vista, in which unskilled manual labor shall be
no longer necessary. II Is sufficient for It's,
however, to state that several Of the leading
railway companies are il treaty with the pat
antee, and that, consequently, if anything what
ever 10 capable of being made out of a discov
cry, the railway interest will possess at once
the first benefit and chief honor to its realiza-
ton.
