Punch's charge to the Jury

The subjoined charge was copied
from the London Punch about fifteen
years ago, Notwithstanding the anti
quity of the document, we consider it in
some respects, a "modeW charge-it, at
least, possesses the merit of leaving the
jury unbiased in their deliberations up
on verdict:
GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY-You are
sworn in these cases to decide according
to the evidence; at the same time if you
have any doubt, You are, bound to give
the prisoner the benefit Of t. suppsss'
you have to pronounce on the guilt-or
innocence of any gentleman accused of
felony. You will naturally doubt
whether any gentleman would commit
such offence accordingly however
strong may be the testimony against
him, you will perhaps acquit him
The evidence Of your own senses is, at
least, as creditable as that of the wit
nesses; if, therefore, your eyesight con-
vince you that the prisoner is a well
dressed person, you have right to pre-
sumo his respectability; and it is for
you to say whether respectable person
would be likely to be guilty of the
crimes imputed on him.
In like manner when you sec shah
by looking fellow in the dock, charged
for example for sheep stealing, the de-
cision rests with you, first whether or
not that individual is ragamuffn, and,
secondly, how far it is probable that
man Of that desert ption would steal
sheep. OF course, as he has been be-
fore said, you will always be guided by
the evidence; but then, whether the e7i-
dence is trustworthy or not, is matter
for your private consideration. You
may believe it if you choose, or you may
disbc!ieve it; and whether, gentlemen of
the jury, you believe it or disbelieve it,
will depend upon the constitution of
your minds. If your minds are so con-
stituted that you wish to find the priso-
ner guilty, perhaps you will believe it;
If they happen to be SO constituted that
you desire to find him not 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 unbias-
sed; but if you cannot you will return a
verdict accordingly. 1t is not, strictly
speaking, for,you to consider what will
be the effect of your verdict; but if such
a consideration should occur to you, and
you cannot help attending to it, that
verdict will be Influenced by it to a cor
tain 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 discus
sion, or by some of you starving out
the others, or by tossing up; and your
conclusion by whichever of these pro-
cesses arrived at, will be more or less in
accordance with your oaths. Your YER
dict may be right-itis to be hoped that
it will; it may be wrong-itis is to hoped it
will not. At all events, gentlemen of
the jury, you will come to some con-
clusion or other, unless it should so
happen that you separate without com
ing to any.

R9-Get married. marry, let the risk
be what it may; it gives dignity to your
profession, inspires confidence, and
commands respect. With a wife, alaw
yer is more trusty, the doctor more es-
teemed, the mechanic throws the ham
mer with increased power, and shoves
the plane with more dexterous hand;
the merchant gets better credit-in
short, a man without wife is NJ man at
all? She nurses him while sick she
watches for him in health. Gentlemen,
get wife, a pretty one if you like them
best; a good one when she is to be
found, and rich one if you can get hcr
pretty and good.

rg'A Rough sense pervades the ft l.
lowing, in which there is certainly
"more truth than poetry" ''Great
men never swell. 1t is only your three
cent individuals, who arc salaried at the
rate of two hundred dollars, and dine
on potatoes and dried herring, who put
on airs and fashy waistcoats, swell, blow
and endeavor to give themselves a con-
sequential appearance. No discrimina-
ting person need ever mistake spurious
for the genuine article. The difference
between the two is as great as that be,
tween barrel and grape"
