THE DAILY EXAMINER, - ~~

Varia.

English papers this week do not contain much news. There seems to be a state of quiescence on the continent. The king of Italy has been received at Berlin, and after much banquetting and state ceremonial = departed. The announcemen: that he unc his host intended to visit Stratsburg, aroused the susceptibility of the excitable people, who after a lapse of nae teen vears still remember with shame anc rage and muttered threats of vengeance, the circumstances under which that city was transferred to the Germans. The French exhibition brings much money to the Paris shop-keepers, but the reign of peace W hich it was to inaugurate seems as far offasever. Mr. Robertson, the mem- ber for Dundee, in the English House of endeavored to censure the Government for the withdrawal of the English ambassador from Paris at the opening of the Exhibition. But when it is remembered that the Exhibition is intend- ed to commemorate the Freach Revolution, it is difficult to see how it would have been possible for the English ambassador to have been present at the commemoration of the Reign of Terror and all the horrors which astounded and horrified the civilized world

a hundred years ago. * *

Commons,

I have been accused of somewhat ap- proaching irreverence toward the ** Law,” because of some humorous verses which appeared in this column upon ** Lawyers,” a very different subject (permit me to say) to ** Law.” Ido not think the charge isa fair or deserved one. My common-place book teems with excerpts from the writings of great lawyers, as to their noble profes-

sion. But L donot think that we, of the journalistic profession, owe much to judges, who for many a long day denied

liberty to the Press, and whose persistence in refusing to allow juries to say whether an inculpated article was or was not a libel, if it had been successful would have destroyed, as it was intended to destroy, the liberty of the Press, and as a consequence, liberty of speech and freedom In the end the freedom of the press was vindicated. But the struggle was hard, and a bitter one, made all the more so by the judges of England, but our profession is not without its martyrs. *

* The Press owes nothing to the judges

and lawyers who persistently misrepre- sented and perverted the English law by

refusing to leave the question of ** Libel ” or **No Libel” to the jury. - The law itself was ever on our side, and for it | have the profoundest veneration and es- teem. And Ihave a strong, firm convic- tion that no man’s education is complete without its stady (I do not mean an accur- ate knowledge of all its technical details). A great lawyer has well said: ** I think it an undeniable position, that a competent knowledge of the laws of that society in which we live, is the proper accomplish- ment of every gentleman and scholar; an highly useful, | had almost said essential part of liberal and polite education. And in this | am warranted by the example of ancient Rome; where, as Cierco informs us, the very boys were obliged to learn the twelve tables by heart, as an indispensible lesson to imprint on their tender minds an early knowledge of the laws and constitu- tution of their country.” *

And yet there is a great deal of truth in what was said by that greatest of England's statesmen, Edmund Burke: ‘1 remove my suit; | fly from equity to law, and from law to equity; equal uncertainty attends me everywhere: and a mistake in which | had no share decides at once upon my liberty and my property, sending one from the court to the prison, and adjudging my family to beggary and famine. [| am inno- cent, gentlemen, of the darkness and un- certainty of your science. 1 never darken- ed it with absurd and _ contradictory notions, nor confounded it with chicane and sophistry. You have excluded me from any share in the conduct of my own cause; ‘ The science was too deep for me;’ I acknowledge it; but it was too deep even for yourselves ; you have made the way so intricate that you are yourselves lost in it ; you err and you punish me for your errors.”

+ %

The “* judicious Hooker” was a great divine, he was distinctively not a lawyer, and therefore he is speaking of *‘law”’ in the abstract when he says: ‘‘ Of law there can be no less acknowledged than that her seat is in the bosom of God ; her voice the harmony of the world. All things in heaven and earth do her homage—the very least as feeling her care, the greatest asjnot exempted from her power; both angels and men and creatures, of what condition soever, though each in different sort and manner, yet all with uniform consent, ad- miring her as the mother of their peaceand

joy.”

”

* % +

This quotation (from Hooker) will, I fear, sound strangely to those who have

lost their property, by, as Mr. Burke ex- pressed it, ‘‘a mistake in which the victim But in many cases, has it not been found, that the law-makers of our country have been the very best friends of the rascal and the rogue? Their persever- ing ingenuity in burying simple facts, de- signed for the public guitlance, beneath Sa dense medley of verbiage, tautology, re- iteration, and verbal mysticism, that puts the legal acumen to a severe test to dis- entangle one single thread of any practical utility from the mass ; their constant pass- ing of acts to amend acts of which nobody (save themselves and the Queen’s printer) had been aware of the existence, their in- cessant passing of other acts to repeal other acts still, until it requires the most gimlet- eyed clairvoyance to discover which are acts in force and which are not—surely I think lam not going too far in saying that these kindnesses place them in the first rank of our rogues’ benefactors.

>

And yet English instinct and prejudice are strong within me. I have very little pleasure in attending courts of law, but I have never witnessed a criminal trial with- out feeling a glow of complacency when I have heard the learned Judge, taking un- common pains to prevent the prisoner let- ting out the truth. It has, on these occa- sions, I admit, suggested itself to me, that if the obiect of the trial be to discover the truth, it might be as well to hear it, even from the prisoner, as to hear what is gener- ally not always the truth from the prison- er’s counsel. And there are times, in quiet moments, in which I wonder at the

rapturous manser in which I say ard write

o- — ap

! that it would be ‘* un-English " to examine the prisoner. | suppose that with common | fairness it would not be possible to confuse ‘him, unless he lied; ae if he did lie, | imagine he could hardly be brought to con-

fessiog too soon. * *

*

There is a great deal of truth in what Swift said: Laws are like cobwebs which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through.

**

*

1 close my remarks with an extract from a quaint and now almost forgutten writer— Felltham—which seems to me accurately to describe the position of those who get themselves involved ina law suit: ‘*To go to law is for two persons to kindle a fire at their own cost, to warm others, and to singe themselves to cinders; and because they cannot agree as to what is truth and equity. They will both agree to unplume themselves that others may decorate them- selves with their feathers.”
