Punch,s Charge 70 the Jury.

The subjoned charge was not written for the pre-
sent time fact which evident from that other fact
that we cut it from old file of the Lancaster Inte
gencer into which it copied from the London Punch
about fifteen years ago. Notwithstanding the antiquity
OF the document, we consider it, in some respects
model charge-at least possessing the merit of eav-
ing the jury unbiased in their deliberations upon YER
dict:
Gentlemen Of the Jury:-You are sworn in all cases
to decide according to the evidence; at tho same time
if you have any doubt you bound give the prison
er the benefit OF it. Suppose you have to pronounce
the guilt OF innocence of gentleman accused of felony
You will naturally doubt whether any gentleman would
commit such however strong NAV
be the testimony against him, you WILL perhaps acquit
him. The evidences of your own senses is at least as
credible that of the witnesses if therefore, your eye
sight convince you that the prisoner is welressed per-
son. you have right to presume his respectabity and
1t is for you to say whether respectable person would
be likely to be guilty of the crimes imputed to him. In
like manner when you shabby looking fellow in the
dock charged for example with sheep stealing the de-
cson rests with you, first whether not that ndivd
ua is ragamufn, and secondly how far it is probable
that man of that description would steal sheep.
or course as has been before said you will always be
guided by the evidence but then whether the evidence
trustworthy or not is matter for your private con-
sderaton. You may believe it if you choose, you
may disbelieve it and whether gentlemen of the Jury
you will believe it dsbelieve it will depend on the
constitution OF your minds. If your minds SO con-
sttuted that you wish to find the prisoner guilty per-
hapS you will believe it if they happen to be so cOnst
ued that you desire to find him not guilty. why then
very likely, you will disbeive it. You arc 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 accordingly. 1t is not
strictly speaking for you to consider what will be the
effect Of your verdict but if such consideration should
occur to YOU and you cannot help attending to it, that
verdict will be influenced 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 unanlmty by fair discussion or by some of you starv
ing out the Others or by tossing up and your concu
sion, by whichever of these processes arrived at will be
more or less in accordance with your oahs Your YER
dict may be right it is to be hoped it will it may be
wrong it is to be hoped it will not At all events
gentlemen of the jury you will to some conclusion
Or other unless it should so happen that you separate
without coming to any.

Accompanying this table appears, showing the rail
road progress in the United States for the year 1857
and comparative view of the progress annually in each
State since S2S the date of the beginning of the system
From the column showing the number of miles for the
year ending January, 1858 find that there only
about seventeen hundred miles built during the year.
which is smaller number than for any year since 1850
The construction of rail roads for the past year has been
principally in the following States, namely Pennsyva-
MIA, Virginia, Florida Tennessee, Ohio Indiana, Wis
consin, Iowa and Missouri.
The Courier and Enquirer remarks
The progress of rail roads in the United States,
their effect upon the prosperity of the country and their
future prospects, much beyond the widest dreams Of
the orgnators of the system The number of miles built
in the first ten years of rail road history beginning
in the year 1888, was l843, of which New York State
built Is per cent. The number of miles built in the
second ten years, from 1888 to 1S48, 3039 of
which New York built 15 per cent From l847 to
$50 the number built 1894 of which New York
State built per cent. At the present time New York
State has IL per cent of the total length of rail
roads, and ranks next to Illinois in number of miles,
Our rail road history has had two erasthe first from
1923 to l848 when there in the number of miles
built average increase Of 266 miles per yearand the
second from 848 to 1856, having average increase
of 1850 miles per year. In many of the States the de-
veopmen Of the rail road system quite equal to the
wants of the peope-but in many others, Kentucky
being the most notable instance it is much less.
For the next few years, rail roads will have to be
built by local assistance and with the aid Of the State to
be benefited The time has past for the West to de-
pend upon for capital for us to look to Europe"
