VIEWS OF AN ENGLISH JUDGE.

Remarks that American Courts Usually
Try to Acquit Prisoners.
New York, September 17-Says the Lon
don correspondent of the Herald: From
one OF his majestys Judges your CORE
spondent is able to give the substance Of
the highest legal opinion here as to what
the Buffalo courts ought 10 do.
This ought to give America the chance
to shake off the incubus Of too much legal
ism. said the judge, and by legaliSm
mean strainug the law to defeat its own
purpose.
In criminal trials IT seems to be the
main OBJECT of the American courts to dis.
cover Jury who will liberate the prisoner,
not carry out the law.
absurd questions are asked whether the
vcniremcn or jurymcn have read about the
case; whether such reading has led to the
formation OF opinion on the merits of the
case so as To prejudice the verdict, wheth
or they nre acquainted with the prisoner or
victim
This absurd stralning for loop holes
which the courts appear to encourage, is,
in my opinion, the first step toward an
archy.
In this connection 1t is reported that Il
Ffamous. criminal lawyer OF New York, who
left London on a sudden call on Saturday
has been summoned to Bufalo to defend
CZolgusz This does not indicate that the
murderer is absolutely frlondlcss, but, On
the contrary, that he is merely the tool OF
an organization with funds behind It,"
