advisable to insert different versions in defer- ent counts. In one count it would be alleged that the knife was held in the murderer's right hand, in another that it was held in his left hand, and so on. It was one thing to require that the accused should know what he was charged with, it was quite another to require a number of irrelevent details to be insened in the Indict ment. Even in the present day some of our indictments might, with advantage, be greatly Abbreviated, and no doubt this will be done when our law becomes codified.
CONCLUSION,
It seems down to 1736 about two-thirds of the condemned were actually brought to the scaffold. From 1750 to 1772 the proportion sinks to about one-half, between 1802 and 1808 it is no more than one eighth. Then the pre- rogative of the Crown was used to lessen the hardship of the law. Again it was a capital offence lo steal from a dwelling house an article of the value of forty shillings. Sir Samuel Romilly tells how a jury, not wishing to hang a wretched woman who confessed to stealing } 45 from a dwelling proved she had only stolen. 39 shillings.

Strange as is the history of the devices resort. to in former days to mitigate the excessive severity of the Criminal Law then in existence. un lertying them all will be found a praise worthy leaning to mercy, a desire that the first offender should get áll more lightly than the hardened criminal, or a desire that, if a loop. Imle could be found, the accused might thereby ↑ Daphne escape the penalty which was felt to be, in some cases, too great for the offence. But it may well be doused whether a much more com Picated and unphilosophical system of juris. prudence could he found in the annals of a great people than English Criminal Law in force even in those days when George 11. was King."
During the reign of Queen Victoria; how- ever, por only have great improvements been effected, bat great and wise and honest judges have administered the law and out of chaos something like order and systems have been evolved. I am not one of those who think the present English Criminal Law perfect; but, as a practical system, it is now just and merciful. Taken as a whole it is not unworthy of a nation- which yields to none in love of justice adminis tered openly in the face of ait men and without“ fear or favour.
