PUNCH's CHARGE TO THE jury Gentlemen of the
Jury:-You are in all cases to decide accord
ing to the evidence: at the same time, if you have
any doubt you arc bound to give the prisoner the
benefit Of it. Suppose you have to pronounce on
the guilt innocence of gentleman accused OF
felony, you will naturally doubt whether any gen.
tleman would commit such offence accordingly,
however strong may be the testimony against him,
you will, perhaps acquit him. The evidence your
own senses is at least credible that of the wit
ness; it, therefore, your eyesght convinces you that
the prisoner is q welldressed person, YOU have a
right to presume respcctabty and it is for you
to say whether respectable person would be likely
to be guilty Of the crime imputed to him. In like
manner, when you shabby-looking fellow in
the dock, charged, forinstance with sheep-steang,
the decision rests with you-frst whether that in
dividual is ragmufhn; and secondly, how far it is
to be supposed that man of that description would
steal sheep Of course, as has been before said.
you will always be guided by the evidence but then
whether the matter is trustworthy Or not is amat-
ter for your private consideration. You may be-
eve it, If you choose, you may dsbclieve it and
whether, Gentlemen of the Jury. you will believe it
or dsbelieve it, will depend on the constitution of
your mines. If your minds are so constituted that
you wish to find the prisoner guilty, why then very
likely you will disbelieve it, You are to free your
minds from all passion and prejudice, if you can ;
and, in that case your judgment will be unbiased
but if you cannot you will return verdict accor-
dinghy 1t is not, strictly speaking, for you to con-
slider what will be the effect of your verdict but if
such consideration should occur you and you cam
not help attending to it, that verdict will be infu-
enced by it to certain extent. You are probably
aware that, when you retire, you will be locked up
until you contrive to agree. You may arrive at
unanimity by fair discussion, Or by some of you
starving out the Others Or by tossing up and your
conclusion by whichever of these processes arrived
ut, will be moro Or less in accordance with your
oaths. Your verdict may be right-tis is to be hoped
it will be. At all events, Gentlemen of the Jury,
you will come to conclusion or other unless it
should so happen that you should separate without
coming to any

HIsToRIcAL ACCOUNT OF HYMEN.-Hymen was a
beautiful youth of Athens, who. for the love of Il
young virgin disguised himself and assisted at the
Elysian rites; and at this time, he, together with
hls beloved and divers other young ladies of that
city, were surprised and carried off by pirates who,
supposing him to be what he appeared, lodged him
with his mistress. In the dead Of night, when the
robbers were all asleep he cut their throats.-
Thence making hasty way back to Athens he bar
gained with the parents that he would restore them
their daughter and all her companions, if they
would consent to their marriage; proving happy it
became customary to invoke the name of Hymen at
all nuptials
