No sentimental consi derations whatever son outweigh the necessity of checking so sceurupulous an attempt to en- barrass the course of justice by popular clamour or intimidation. Had the case been revere ed,--had the Lord Obi-1-Justice and his brethren dismissed the charge against Messrs.

But society has its lights as well as individuals, and were it pos- sible for the promoters of this agitation to Rac eced in the bjela they manifestly bare in vien, it is not the Crown, but the nation at large, that would sustain a grievone wrong.
