charge to jury, supposing condition Of
things similar to that now charged to exist
in San Francisco-to wit. general belief in
the corruption ofpublic officers, held the fol-
lowing language.

quences; and if this belief should be founded

have vanished; when the fountains of Justice
shall be manifestly corrupt, and the forms
and parade adhered to for the purpose of
to oppression under the garb of law"
