OBITUARY..


Departed this life, on Monday the goth inst,
Mrs AMANDA DIXEN, wife of Captain VIII
LIAM DIxEx, in the Goth year of her age. By this
dispensaton of an All-wise Providence, devoted
husband, an afflicted mother and only child, are
left to mourn her untimely decease. Surely in the
midst of life we are in death day, an hour, may
rend our tendcrest ties asunder and 'ercast with
gloom and sorrow all our fondest hopes but in
this stroke of severe bereavement, relatives and
friends will not mourn as those who have no hope,
as they are consoed in the reflection that what is
loss to themis her eternal gain. AS wife, the de-
ceased was constant and afectionate, as friend,
undertaking and sincere fulfilling all the relative
duties oflife, and leaving behind the consong hope
that she has gone to enjoy the noseless rest of the
grave, until death shall have gathered her friends
again around her and then from that sleep to be
awakened to reunion of former friendship and as
sociations, where death is unknown, and friends
meet to part no more.

Law REFoRMs.-We pride ourselves on
our intelligence and readiness to adopt every
reform, which makes justice speedy and GER
tain. Why is i, ,hs, in criminal law, we
and that we adhere. with vigor to precedenls,
which the legislation of Parliament has &C
mmodated to the contingencies of evi
dence and trial, in so for as could be done
with justice TO the prisoner As criminal
pleading is now constructed, in this Slate,
the guilty party is placed in situation ma
.uraly difficult ofaccess, and the prosecutor
is compelled to walk a wire-brdge to get
jat him. If he steps one side or the other,
it is adjudged failure, and The prisoner goes
free.
II is one thing 10 give a prisoner a fair
trial, another TO give him technical trial
The ignorance of witnesses-,ke inexperi-
ence of Grand Jurors, often leads to errors
in presenimenls and indictments. The laao
should make these evils remediable, not sane
tJy them By perpetual recognition. The
old practices, which are contained in the
body Of the law, may be flies preserved in
am5er-but they are no. less flies. and not
less unworthy Of the place they have long
occupied Capitol Gazette.
