thls motlOh, that gfeat deal OF public prejudice
and much excitement prevailed at tho time Of
he trial, and that the prisoner has consequently
been denied the benefits of a fair and impartial
trial. We are not made aware Of such a state Of
feeling, other than by the assertions of counsel
If we except the rumors that are aaoat as TO the
feeling in the neighborhood. The Jurors, upon
being called, were at the request Of the prison
er's counsel, put upon their roir dire, and very
few Of them were found to have formed or eY
pressed any opinion in reference to the guilt or
innocence of the prisoner. But admitting tn
Tact to be SO, We cannot see that il affords m Y
reason for granting a new trial. If such a state
Of feeling did exist, and the Court had been
properly informed Of the fact, they would, if tn :
request had been made, had suspended tho trial
until change Of venue could be had, or some
oiher steps taken to avoid the difficulty. But the
prisoner caunot take his chance Of trial under
such circumstances, and then for that reason ask
the Court to set aside the verdict This view of
the case is fully sustained by the opinion of JUS
tce Rogers, in Com. VS.. Flanagan, Z W. q s., 419.
We have thus expressed our views in relation
to the various causes assigned for new trial 1t
is with the deepest regret that we feel compelled
to differ with the views Of the learned counsel for
the prisoner, and gladly would we have found
some way Of escape from the conclusions 10 which
We have been driven by an impartial sense of
duty. To deal with the life Of follow being in
wolves tremendous wcightO of responsibility, but
it is duty which we have sworn to perform, aud
whilst we admit that our sympathies for the un-
fortunate criminal have stood up to oppose our
progress in the way Of duty, we have been com
