NOT TEMPERED WITH MERCY.

JUDGE Hillysr 10 boss Of the law
and, the jury knew be was deter.
mined that Hill should be found
guilty, and if the Jury had brought
in a verdict Of net guilty, We pre-
sumo he would have done &c he did
here the Last term Of court: set the
verdict aside and then reprimaUd
and discharge the jury. His charge
was the most unmerciful one we ever
heard Of Griffin San.
Judge HiIlyer 10 q very able
Judge and no doubt . very clever
mau, but in bic zeal TO convict Hill,
he piled the argumeotssive on little
too thick and one.sided to hold the
scales Of justice evenly. II" was
fearfuIly appreheDsive that the jury
would acquit, and to thwsrt such g
conclusion he stigma.ized other jur-
les, who had so rendered yerdicss in
similar eases, 90 hsing more "nOsed
for their weakness or wickedness"
than their honesty, and il they would
escape such odium they must bring
in q verdict of guilty. Such was
the import Of the charge. We
would not do him injustice, but We
cannot rid our mind Of the thOOght
that in this case Judge Hillyer acted
as prosecutor, Judge and jury, and
that Hill, who slew the destroyer of
bis peace and hsppiness, wss not
even given the benefit of doubt.
