brought forward in the opening ad dress with ihe evidence which had just bee a iduced for the prosecution he observed that if his client were such a beast such an absolute brute as they represented him he iho solicitor would not stand there to defend him tie reverse however he was happy to pay was the case and lie could now tell tin jury that mr ham was a respectable man that from a poor shoemaker and labourer as iwy would make him he by his own merit ami pood coil luct raised himself to wealth and r voectability were he such a monster as 1jv woul i mike him to be yes if he kepi five or six women in bath if he really kepi a seraglio like ihe grand turk a ihev al- 1 jed how was it that he is now associated with and respected by his oeiffhhoars he contended that his client mr ham wis at that moment fully as respectable as mr h iw- jiv or any of his connections and he would say further if his client were such an aban doned monster as they represent him why h is he beu so long ou the lisi of magistrates was there an instance he would ask of a bro- lior magistrate complaining of him no gen tlemen he has alwavs conducted himself wiui d ce irv ani propriety and how gentlemen i

sample of the conduct of tins mild immaculate cleik of the church toe learned gentleman put the jury oo their jr card aiiast tlie elouueuce and iogenuitv listen to the speeches of this gentleman espe cially in cases like the present calculated to create strong excitement vve hare heard those who could perhaps reason more closely than mr hagerman but very few indeed whose eloqueuce in our estimation is more powerful at the commencement of his speech the learned gentleman adverted to the high culo- ium which the learned solicitor had passed n the character of the defendant he howe vercontended thai there were many then pre sent who knew well to the contrary and evei a stronger proof of the absolute baseness and depravity ofthe mind of that individual could not be adduced than the scaudalous aud most damnable plea now set up by him what gentlemen of the jury says the learned coun sel does he attempt to piove ii is gentlemen that ihe wife of his bosom is a prostitute and his child a bastard the learned gentleman went at great length into the law and facts of the case he observ ed that the greater part ofthe witnesses were hams near relatives but he would put miss mawleys testimony agaiual the whole mass of evidence brought against him it was always with regret that he found himself compelled to differ iu opinion with the bench in i hi present instance notwithstanding what had fallen from his lordship to the con t ran he would deny that at the present day a man was at liberty to chastise his wife that was the law at former times but the day he was happy to say was now too far advanced to admit sqch doctrines gentlemen he continued what inference are yon to draw from the modest request of the defendant to his wib that she would sub- mil to having another man sleep in the same room with her r is there any man who now bears me whose blood does not bnjl within him at such a proposal whose sou docs not revolt at the coldblooded brutality of this bad man he was to derive either of two advantages from this proposition if she rejected it as she did with silent but expressive indignation he then would make it appear that it was entirely her own fault if she did not live with him if she submitted what theu would follow i gentle men you have perhaps heard of an atrocious circumstance which occurred near the napa- ne mills some time since john clark i suppose yon all know him induced an unfor tunate female lo consent to marry a man then living at his house the worthy john proceeded to join the parties in holy wedlock a the das with its festivities being over the happy couple retired to bed as was concerted before be tween the bridegroom 6l clark tbt former whenever his unfortunate dupe fell asleep got up u leu llits room for a lew oiiuuus la k

do you k hi ilk that mr ham with the knowledge of a stra gem so sailed to his ideas of right wrong wmjld ihogood an opportunit v escape him as his wife fl submission to his proposal would give him to
