Such a ] ,Le of things could not happen in Eng- i 8 \or under any English Government. Lord Leham proceeds thus :-" But much Lence may be done to justice in a ore quiet, and, therefore, unsuspected °L e of misconduct. Judges may have LiDgs which influence them all their lives fooueb) without ever betraying them into , n y gross outrage upon judicial decorum. indwbatever the bias is that operates to , ff them towards one side or the other, whether favour to the Court, or the Church, 1 or {he people; whatever feeling they indulge other than the constant and perpetual desire of rendering to every one his due, they violate fair oath of office, and exhibit a spectacle ihicb, be it ever so veiled by outward observances of decorum, ought at all times to be regarded with the utmost abhorrence ly every part of the community, and to call im nPon the culprit the most terrible punishment which the public indignation 0 inflict. It may seem paradoxical to affirm, yet we believe it to be true that worthy men sometimes allow themselves, vien placed in judicial stations, to commit |Hs crime without being at all aware of its atrocity, and therefore it is that some severe aimples seem to be wanting, which may »»their eyes, and deter others from being ins beguiled. One thinks that there 13 too long a current of popular feeling setting in igunat the Government or against existing institutions, and therefore he fancies he shall icharge his duty by leaving in their favour. Another imagines (or may imagine, for we inspect this case is yet to occur,) that the JBger threatens from the opposite quarter, and that the people is in risk of being oppressed; he therefore makes a stand sgainst the supposed oppressors, and casts tie balance in favour of popular rights. ffij minister of justice fears that the tide ran dangerously against sacred things, and tktthe Established Church is in jeopardy ; brill, therefore, in fairness to that vener -1 institution, incline against whatever Raa calculated to weaken or to invade it. JW,on the other hand, dreads the encroach ments upon the laity which churchmen are smetimes suspected of attempting, and sets iirolf to resist these by favouring the dsfence against ecclesiastical claims. One las most conscientiously a strong opinion igainst the inroads which the ambition, or intelligence, or wealth of the middling tkes are making upon the influence of the imto:racy, and would protect its privileges as v integral and an essential portion of the wtifation. Another feels as honestly for lewroDgs which those priviliges inflict upon He portion of the community at whose openßethey are enjoyed, and inclines to nrds all that favours an immunity from leir pressure. But all such inclinations, knmgß, dispositions, tendencies, are when am'ed to the Bench, and suffered to affect of the Judge in whatever part oiihe cause he is trying, only soft expressions k that which the same men would shrink Wm were it called by its right name— lyutke. They are the views which it is fry fit for advocates to put forward, "7 necessary for law-givers to en- Wain, very becoming for the judge « cherish in his private capacity ji the independent citizen of a free countrj. wif they influence him ever so little on «*seat of justice they betray him into a |*8 breach of his duty, and a violation of trust which the law reposes in ™.

Stak might well say that tlfeTagistmte the expounder of the law, B hottldP7a?W have sympathised with the police wheto ther are any of you have been in&the country districts you will agree with me when I say that it is absolutely necessary that the ad- S To Dutd rt,°\° f JUSticG in the should be at any rate scrutinised with a careful eye and governed with a strong hand It may be said-but you can complain to the Government. Yes, you may complain to the Government, but it may be that the Govern ment: won t listen to any complaints ■it may be that the Government won't answer any complaints. What, then, is there left but that the Press of the'country shall take the matter tip and lay bftre the whole of the tacts with its comments upon thfem before the people that the people may judge whether it is a true administration of justice or not. And I make bold to affirm, gentle men, that although individuals may have suffered in this colony, or in other colonies ?t -I** Q 0 land of our friers, in the United States, in any Anglo-Saxon com munity where the freedom of the Press obtained—though individuals may have suf fered aa injustice and a wrong—though in some cases the interest of justice ha 3 been cramped—though reputations have been tarnished which ought to have remained pure, yet, I will say, that the strictures of the Press, even including amongst them the very libellous assertions of the Press; the whole strictures of the Press taken together have done more to purify the Bench and guide the due administration of the law than all of the other forces in the kingdom put together. Yet you are asked to punish these men, to brand them as criminals, because in the heat of the moment they say that in their opinion the unguarded expressions of Mr Fraser, used at such a time, are disgraceful, and ought to subject him to the oversight of the Govern ment. That is what you are asked to do. JNow, gentlemen, these articles were written then, and they appeared. During the last n'fty years, as my learned friend Mr Mac- Cormick very well put before you. there has been a wonderful change in public opinion, and in public conduct in relation to what may be or may not be a subject of fair comment and criticism in the Press. It is not so very long ago since men, if they wrote what are called atheistical articles, were brought before a Court of justice and condemned to temporal punishment ; it is not so very long ago since if a man somewhat sharply attacked Cabinet Minis ters he was liable to be proceeded against. But do such things happen now ? No ; they do not. What do we see ? The very mails which lately came from the land of our birth brought the account of an address delivered by one of the greatest living scientists, Pro fessor Tyndall, in which he actually goes so far as to say that there exists no God, denies His law, refutes His attributes, and almost denies His existence. Is ha made the sub ject of a criminal prosecution ? Not at all. He lays it open for argument, and the Press argue it day by day. For our lawgivers and cur judges are statesmen, and they all feel that it ia far better to discuss, to argue, temperately it may be. or even intemperately it may be, that it is far better that the greatest amount of truth and li&ht shall be let in upon the subject or upon any subject, than that the mouth, of a man should be shut ; than that his hands shall be tied, than that as Galileo he may be cast into a dungeon where in his fetters he may be of the same opinion, and placing his foot on the floor of the dungeon state that the world moves still. It is the same in politics ; it is the same with such great men as Gladstone and Disraeli ; it is the same with the jurlges in our great courts of law. Have you ever heard any judge in this Court of New Zealand indict ing a man for criminal libel ? and I make bold to say that there have been stronger I assertions made in this very city against the purity of the administration of justice in this very Court in which we stand than the actual meaning of the words which were wiitten in the Evening Star. Does anybody believe that the usefulness of this Court is impaired ? Does anybody believe that upon the fair re putations of their Honors, the Judges who have sat here, the slightest stain rested ? Were they obliged to fly to a criminal prose cution against the persons who wrote and the persons who published? T^ot at all. They said—Let the people judge ; we are placed here to perform a solemn duty to the best of our merits, and to the best of our knowledge we do it. Although these criti cisms may be unduly made, although these aspersions may be widely cast, although un fair inferences may be drawn, there is that silence on the part of the judges which has in it pride as well as modesty a pride which will not stoop to notice anything they con sider to be unworthy. They simply pass on upon their course without stooping for an instant to consider the statements made respecting them ; but simply try to prove by increased energy and increased virtue that they are unjust. But that is not the stand made or that Mr Fraser takes. Look at his position for a moment. As a judge he was safe in anything he chose to say ; he could make any remarks he chose in any way pertinent to the case, and he was not liable for it in the slightest degree. He sues under a criminal information ; he does not come by civil suit remember —when the defendants could have got into the box and stated their belief and why they wrote. He tells you what he meant, but he would not allow them to tell you what they meant. He stands up in the box (and I shall have some thing to say about the description he gives there) and tells you what h« meant—that what was attributed was not his meaning ; but he does not allow the defendants to say what they meant by their articles ; he takes great care of that. He knows that the criminal law shuts their mouths, that they cannot be sworn and cannot speak ; he knows that well. What does he do when he comes here and stands up in the box ? I don't know how you felt, but I felt astonished ; for he not only says that they have libelled him ; he not only accuses them of cowardly attacking him in this way, and in an unjust manner reflecting on his conduct and charac ter—but he actually asks you to believe that in their interest and for their purposes the police have stolen his notes and given them to the defendants. This is the man who asks for the punishment of Reed and Brett because they libelled him ! Gentlemen, I do not think that you will forget that he who comes into the Court should come into it revs incuria; that he should come right and "square" according to a cant phrase; he should come fairly and "all fours before his fellow-men. Here is a man who takes advantage of the privilege the law gives him and makes comments from his judgment-seat, and when fair open, and justifiable structures are made upon his conduct in the public Press draws out a criminal information and brings the defend ants before this Court and closes their mouths ; he imputes to them over and above the offence charged in the information, that they have been guilty of receiving stolen aoods—the sheets of his letter,-book, or whatever it may be, for the purpose of withholding the evidence which could go before you. That is the purpose g imputed. He follows it up Jfte?warda by two very little things which show exactly the spirit which actuate^ him • he instructs his counsel to repeat tn assertion, the suspicions that these paper^ are in defendants' possession, and then im-»

lit iJf them that they had w"tl*n the very letters appearing in their colnmns which drew out the correspondence. Gentlemen, we have heard of the little homely proverb ™Sn Wtl 1S ve/y trae ' of s°™ men mea suring the corn of others by their own bushel it you are asked as men of ordinary common sense versed in the ordinary business of life —it you are asked to find that under the circumstances as set forth by the prosecutor himself that the defendants are guilty of libel, all I can say is that I cannot understand it. I have failed to see in the arguments for the prosecution to justify the conclusion that the defendants are guilty of the charge brought against them. He has charged the defendants with having posses sion of the notes. At all events he stated it as his belief that they had possession of them, when he knows well that their lips are closed, when he knows he is protected by the sanctity of the law not only on the Bench but in the witness-box. No action for libel could lie against him for anything he might state in the witness-box. There are many privileges put by the law around persons occupying different positions—for instance around judges, around counsel addressing juries, around members of Pnrlia ment when speaking on questions submitted to them in Parliament. I Submit that although no siich barrier has hitherto been thrown around the Press, yet to a great extent such s, privilege does belong to it in the considera tion of those topics which more especially belong to it—in the consideration of those subjects which it is its duty to enqtiire into and comment upon. If the recognised law of a country does not throw around the Press a safegaurd, at any rate juries ought to extend to it some thing cf sympathy. It seems in the march of science and of knowledge—in the march of liberty and freedom of opinion nnd ex pression,—l say it seems preposterous to me at any rate that men should be allowed to question the judgment of kings nnd of the Almighty himself and not be punished for it; and yet if they questioned the judgment of a petty magistrate, especially when they were called on to sneak out on subjects of tremendous importance to the community, they are to be hauled before a Criminal Court; and it may be, if it is possible for such a thing to happen here, of a jury bein« packed,—it may be under such circum stances, punished for doing so. It is indeed a question of importance, and as such I sub mit it to you and ask you to consider it not in the way my learned friends put it, but in the Way which I have put it to you know. NOw the argument I urge upon you is, that Truth is mighty and it will prevail, if Mr Fraser was not amenable to the statements made would they harm him ? They were not made of him in his private character or upon the judgment which ho gave—the sen tence he pronounced. It was not against the administration of justice the defendants had written ; the decision given never was im pugned ; it was not stated that the magistrate treated the accused persons who came before not stated in any one of the articles upon him unfairly, or that he gave undue advan tage to ojie person or another. That is not stated in aay one of the articles upon the comments of Mr Fraser. which are entirely gratuitous on his part. They merely stated that in such statements as he made he pandered to the passions of those people who prey upon society. If by such statements as these he has made himself known then he is a disgrace to the Bench. It is not as if the Star had said: You gave a judgment which is not correct, you treated a c'ass of men unfairly, you took bribes and forswore yourself. It is not this, but it is by reason oc those uncalled - for remarks which had nothing to do with the case ; it is by reason of this that you are casting discredit upon the police in the per formance of their duty, and ilying into the hands of specimen-stealers and quartz-crush ing machine owners. While you uphold in the one hand your decisions in the Court, in the other by degrading sympathies with actual criminals you arc undoing what you have done with the one hand. That is just what the articles meant. The language no doubt is strong ; it is language which most likely in calmer moments would not be used, but it was language which the Stab writers felt called upon to use, smarting under the disappointment which they felt when they thought after the passing of this law there was at length some security for the honest portion of the community who had invested their capital in the Thames ; and when they found, in the first case brought under the Act, a slur had been cast upon the police when detecting the criminals, and when sympathy and encouragement whs held out to offenders. I say when this was the case the Stak thought the good work was being altogether undone. That the ex pression of sympathy was of greater weight against the administration of the law than even the actual infliction of a fine of £200 was in carrying it out. Men do net weigh terms very nicely when they feel that im portant principles are at stake. I have known men in tbi3 community who have spoken very strongly upon various topics. When the American States were first driven into rebellion by the English Government they not only spoke but they took up arms. That was high treason. Was it high treason on the part of George Washington, lia,n dolph, and Henry- men whose names are written upon the roll of the the history of [For continuation see Supplement.]
