just done- in the view which the graod jury had taken of the case in considering it not to be one of murder he concurred on the trial the testimony was of such a conflicting nature on some points that the petty jury took a very considerable time before they returned their verdict ofthe verdict which tbey had finally returned he did not disapprove nor yet of iheir previ ous doubts aod long deliberation mr blake had received an excellent character and he hoped he would profit by the lessoo which this trial was calculated to give and endeavour to justify the favourable testi mony he had received he could imprest upon him the important coosequeoces re sulting from a rash transgression ofthe law by a person o his responsible situation a rashness involving many others who acted under bis command and would be likely to follow his example the point aa to the responsibility of those committing ao illegal act by the command of their superior officer had long since received a taogible decision as an irishman the barou was sorry to have occasion to state that one of the most abundant sources ofthe disturbed state of ireland was that instead of look ing to the law as a protection the people regarded it with disgust and something like aversion and therefore all persons in authority should endeavour to disabuse the lower orders by demonstrating kindly aod in practice that the law is what it pro fesses to be he did ootkoow whether he was merely consuming lime by indulging in these observations but he could with a safe conscience say that he did as well as he was ablo a great deal was io the pow er of the police towards reconciling the people to their authority although it could not be denied that they had some bow or other incurred a certain degree of odium which yet a a body he did not believe them to have deserved it was the more incumbent upon the constituted authorities to reconcile the people to the law because he was afraid the people were not only lia ble to be misled but that not a few were endeavouring to mislead and to withdraw them from their trust io and allegiance to tbe law aod to discourage their submission to the constituted authorities of the slate this case dad naturally excited considerabl sensation aod had received as it was en titled to do ao attentive aod large discus sion the grand jury at the very mo ment they ignored the bills had done a very merritorious act which io strictness tbey need not have done had they out been disposed to act quite fairly- they had at once expressed their readioess to entertain bills for a man slaughter and agaio the petit jury not cousisliog of persons ofthe lower orders had b the length of their de liberation offered proofs of their readiness sasratfuftitbefpfelhfl tfggtef- eioo the trial too was had before a judge inferior to many of his brethren io judicial attainments but yielding to oomao on or off the bench in his desire to cherish the humbler classes and guard them from all oppression he thought the verdict a merciful one the propriety of which was not to be censured- the doubts which the jury for a time entertained had terminated properly he believed in an acquittal the law had entrusted the police with deadly weapons which he was sorry to say the slate of this country required but if the police abased the powers given them by making an ill use of their arms they would disturb instead of preserve the public peace and aggravate be ovils which tbey were in tended to remove most happy should he be if any observations of his could have the eflect of putting bis deluded countrymen on their guard against those who were cn- deavouriozto mislead and furnish them with plausible pretexts for illegal cooduct he was far however from recommending to the police to abate or relax in their firm ness io the performance of their duty it was esseotial to the public safety that they should he firm but it was equally essential that thoy should never outstep the bounds of legal authority but temper their firm oess with inildocss and discrimination there was one topic which it might per haps not be inopportuoate to mention the soreness of the public mind was perhaps the only mischief that could be anticipated from this acquital he heartily wished that this could be obviated a coocilitary wmjt uu tft pact vt i ui puttee atfen h thought contribute to produce this effect the recent trial had been imperatively call ed for without it the feelings ofthe lower orders would have been deeply wounded aod agitating mischiefmakers furnished with a dangerous topic ofdiscontent but in aii unhappy country party feeling sooo- eror later insinuated itself into every ques tion and had he feared for example in fused itself into this he wished from his heart this could be banished where op posite party feelings came into conflicting contact each party was loo apt pertinaci ously to puruse its object as if a failure to attain it touched its dignity and honour those who prosecuted with zeal were zeal ously defended the censure was retorted aod party spirit heightened its veoom on both sides but age aod experience had taught him to see things in a different light zealous prosecutors hu could well conceive he concluded by declairing tbat ho would render an inestimable benefit to thecountry who should reconcile and attach the peo ple to the law he thought much was io the power ofthe police in this respect and hey would do themselves great honor and the community eminent service by temper ing their cooduct with a mixture of firm ness and forbearance and
