Mr.. T0rTens, Mr. Watkin Williams, Sir William Har-
court and Mr.. Bright. The brief speeches Of the two
latter left nothing TO be desired In spirit and little TO
be added in argument, But IL IL the spirit 10 which
an attack of this kind ON the Press il met by the
Press itself which seems 10 me most inipor-
tant of all. The English Press has too
often shown itself ignorant, to all appearance
Of the extent of its rights and Of its power and too
little disposed to maintain the former by united
exertOn Of the latter. IL during tho Itch
borne trial. when the Lord Chief Justice invented
his new doctrine Of contempt, and when tho Press
bowed in way can only call servile TO an exercise
Of judicial tyranny So in certain weli-knOwn libel
cases, the newspapers have shown more jealousy Of
each other than readiness 20 stand by each other in
the interests of great profession and Of the public.
Here on the contrary their attitude is all that could
