THE DEFENCE IN THE GUDGEON CASE.

Counsel's Action Sustained.

We continue, our roporfc of the Law Socioty'a meeting from the poiut. to which it was carried in our lust issue. At that time a discussion, generally adverse to the Chairman's ailing that the proposed en quiry could not be made, was proceeding.

Mr Alexander asked if the chairman would consent to the adjournment of the meeting for the purpose of taking the I President's opinion on the matter. Mr Tyler replied that it was precisely the course he intended to adopt. He waa not infallible, and if the President's decision \\ ere against him lie would bow to it, Mr Hill then proposed, " That this meet ing he adjourned for a fortnight, in order to enable the chairman to obtain the opinion of the the President of the Society. In answer to Mr James Kussell, the Chairman said that neither Rule 2, nor rulo 20 of tho society's rules empowered it to make the desired enquiry. In answer to another question, Mr Tyler said that he had not,in coming to a decision, taken into consideration the fact that other societies down South had been convened for for a similar 'purpose. He was not to be iuiluenced by the action of other socTeties. Mr Peter JDigoaa thought 1! it wera true that tho local .Law Society by its rules was prohibited from milking the desired enquiry, and that the law societies in the South had the power, it was high time that a new set1 of rules were adopted, If the Chairman's ruling was right, the Society, as at preseut constituted, was of no practical u«e. Some more discussion ensued, in the course of which it was suggested as a means out of the difficulty that tho meet ing should bo dissolved and a meeting of the profession called instead, Mr E. Hesketh hoped that the members of tho profession would not separate with out doing something in the matter, sei-iog that tho Southern Societies were about to tako action, Evcntnally Mr Thome proposed, ana Mr Hill seconded, " That in deference to the Chairman's ruling that the Society has no power' to'enquire -into the' c'dnduct of the counsel engaged In the' case in question,' but without acquiescing in such ruling, that this meeting be dissolved." Mr J. A . Tole proposed as an amendment, and Mr Laisbley Seconded, that this meetiDg be adjourned, and in the meantime the chairman confer with the president of the society on tho comectness or otherwise of his present ruling." Mr Colemandid not think that the chair man should be allowed to defeat the object ot tho meeting when ho stood alone in his opinion, and he therefore moved, " That the chairman be respectfully requested to leave tho chair in older that we may oppoint a fresh chairman, and that the.matter we are assembled to transact may be trans acted." The chairman ruled that the proposition was not aa amendment,upon the original motion, and therefore could not be ac cepted. . . • . '■'■ The motion and amendment^were then put, and both were lost. Mr Tole proposed that the meeting of the society should be adjourned till Monday at 3 o'clock. He considered the.chairman's ruling sound. - ■ ' •■' The motion was seconded and. carried, whereupon Mr Tyler immediately vacated the chair. .

It was tacitly agreed that the meeting should ba reconstituted as a meeting of members of the profession practising: in Auckland, and therefore Mr James Kussell was voted to the chair, in order that the proceedings should bo contiu tied, Pro-ent: —Messrs Browning, S. Hesketb, Tyler, Jas. Kussell, Devore, Dufaur, Ed want Cooper, 'l'heo. Cooper, Burton, George, Williamson, Colcman, Aimstr.ong, VigoM, Browning, Alexander, Xolo, Liishky, Thome, E. Ileskoth, MacCormick, Ilill, and Mackochnie,

Tho Chairman having stated that jas Judge Gillies had characterised the defence set up in a recent.case as " base, cowardly, and dishonourable," tho business was: to enquiro into the conduct of the counsel who had sot up that defence; Mr E. Hesketh at once moved, ■" That tho chairman and Mr : Walter Hill bo're quested to convone a; meeting of the members tho profession practising Jin Auckland, at this place, at tlie hour; of half-past three, on. Monday afternoon. ! Mr J. A. Tolo seconded. :

Mr Devore did not see why there should ho any adjournment at all. They certainly could not hope to get a better attendance on Monday, and as he saw no other possible reason for delay, he moved, "that the members of tho profession present proofed to enquire into the truth of the. charge* made by Mr Justico Gillies against counsel for the defence in tho case of Rcginajv. Gudgeon." , ■ ' ■ j Mr Hesketh withdrew his motion ;ia favour of this proposition, which wasHhen put and carried- :-- • ; -'■ ! Mr Hill said that as one of the conveners of the meeting he had to state his reasons for doing so. At ths last session ot the Supreme Court in tho trial of Mr Gudgeon for alleged rapo, the Judge condemned the defence set up by Messrs Hesketh and Cooper as "base, cowardly, and dishonour, ablo," and as this reflected directly upon their character as members of the Bar he had thought it but fair that these gentle men should be given an opportunity ot re butting the accusation made against them. Ho thorefora askfed that Mr Hesketh should be called on to explain bis conduct. Mr Hesketb, as Secretary, tliejl read out ■from a verbatim shorthand report of Mr Judge-rGiUies' summing up, the passage:in which the defence was referred to as "base, cowardly, and dishonourable."; Mr Dignan thought, 'that ,tha Judge should have been asked if he did use the' words imputed'to"him.' '■".'" * Mr Hill pointed out that Mr Hesketh had alleged that the words were used. ■ ■■.- £i ■ Alter some remarks from Mr MacCormick, expressive of his surprise1 at the judge's action in characterising a defenoe allowed by law as " base, cowardly, and dishonopr able,".thejfollowing resolntinu by Mr Hill was put and carried j—'-' That this meeting having before it the report of. the case, Kegina v. Gudgoon, and liavlrig heard the statement of Mr Jbdwin Hesketh, one,of tho counsel for the jrisqner jn that disc, resolve that the Hue of defence adopted by counsel therein,>was.justified, and counsel would have been guilty-of a gross broach of duty1 towards their olient' had- they not acted as the did.;' : ,;..'.■ i;• j ■

Mr Hesketh then rose to make his state njpnt.;'' .I^elote doing ~so he' submitted >» letter frouji. ,Mr;. $heo; .Coopejy Atatiugr.that he had, been prevented fronrattendinp by biiaidess at the District Court, and adding that, in reference to the subjsct matter of the meeting,, he,had signed-a letter that would.be *übinitted to, explai«,liis conduct. The letter-referred .to, whioh was the joint statemeatof..MessrsJlesketh" and 'CSdper,, was then read out by the former geatloman, as follows :— ' \ -/

We cheerfully comply with the wish. Of this raocting,." That tho counsel engaged lor .tho. defence in the case.of Keg. ■w- Gudgeon should ; state , tho nature of the defence relied upon, and their conduct at the trial in connection, therewith," Tho chargo was. one of assault with intent to ravish. The proßecutrix and the prisoner were both married. The defence relied upon was the dqfenco of consent on the part of the prosccutiix. To'e'stablish this the prosecutiix was cross-examined wi h tbe view of showing that a previous criminal intimacy existtd: betwebri.''her..,and. the prisoner, and"that she1 consented-on the occasion in quostionviln;further.support of this defence, and for "tho like purpose and object, evidence, consisting of letters from the prosecufaix to a\ third person, and re ferring to the prisoper-and -relationship with him,, and also the' testimony. of, two witnesses, was adduced by thp defence. Such was thp nature of the defenoe set up. As to our conduct in connection therowith, we have to say i- .

1, That the matoilala placed at our dis posal by ithe prisoner iv support of Buch defence, -were in ■ our judgment ample to establishit., .v.;'.' .: J-;'- :.-

2, That our instructions from the prisoner to sot up the defence referred, and to sup. p >rt the same_ by the matsriah so supplied, were, for leasons then mentioned by him, imperative. ■ '■ ' ■-■ ■ •

3. .That we never had the slightest reason to doubt the truth of the prisoner's state ments and instructions to us, and this, not withstanding,, we separately.and repeatedly tested the prisoner thereon.

1 4. Tli at as the prisoner was charged w'th a specific ciirno nmicr v particular statute it was incumbent on tbe prosecution to prove that the act charged was done against the willof theprosecutiix, and thb sole object of all questions putto heron cross-examiua tion was to impeach the evidence given by her in her examination in chief—namely, that the act was done against her will. - 6yThat the defence set up was a valid defence Lin law, and it. is admitted by the highest criminal authority, "That such evidence' of previous familiarities is un doubtedly admissible, for it has direct bear* ing on the question of consent," :

! 6. That; being called upon to undertake | thia defence.we.fslt—(a) i hat ia doing So we should prove that the crime charged had never been committed by the prisoner, and' this was his assertion from the outset. (b) That :ln order to prove this our solo aim must bo the highest aim. of Judges, jurora, and couiißd alike—namely, to elicit the truth. («) That no matter what w& uiiunt ■ think of the prisoner's relationship with | the prosecutrix we were not called upon to assume the character of Judges,_ according to somij code or rule which could not be recognised by the Court upon the trial, (d) That not having reason to doubt that tha defence was [ founded in truth, and our instructions hi- I ins; to elicit the truth simply, and.so prove that the crime so'charged had not been committed, we had no cause Lr besitatirjg in joining with the judge, jury, and Crown ia this search for truth, a pursuit which a learned writer designates as "a noble one, and those are honoured who are the instrument*'engaged in it." ■ 7. That we fully realised (to-adopt the words ot a late i.ord Chaucellor) ■' lhat the object of the advocate at the Bar, aa I well as; Judge upon the Bsnch equally, [should be the attainment of justice, and just'ee 13 only to be reached through the ascertainment of truth." 8. That if ad vi cates could not act for a prisoner under such circumstances, then we felt, " That advocacy would be annihilated; and then a reignof universal injustice arid oppression would commence.'' 9. That if we said, " VYe.will not tect" ; or, if we entered upon the chase for the tvutu. and left it uufinished, we Bhould be iingeiiu" b&biad our'plain duty, and be guilty of an abandonment of our client. 10. That throughout our conduct ot this dtfence, ,w© endeavoured to acheve. Lord (then M.r) Erskine's intention ia his defence of the notoiions infidel writer, Tom' Paine, namely," To maintain and assert the inde pandence and integrity of the Bar," and in a-iiinuind uncompiomisiog manac-r, faith fully aad .conscientiously to discharge the advocate's duty. •.•.: , tit To this fitatement we desire to add, tha1; we are glad to have been' afforded this opportunity, unsolicited and spontaneous as it is.:of laying open tb the profession the actions and conduct which havo been the subject of judicial censure, publicly an nounced, and as we are unconscious of having acted in' any improper manner in the conduct of this defence, we trust that members will assist and devise some means for relieving counsel in future from the very painful and embarrassing position in which they have been placed by such judicial remaik9. •<• ■ '■■ ■■" Mr lirassiey said that as the defence set up by, Messrs. Uesketk and Cooper had been,called in question, he wished to know if the tormer gentleman bad anything to say in justification ot hi* conduct in setting it up. .. , i Mr Ilcskcth replied that their justifica tion was contained ia the statement he had read. He had only to add that since the Judge's remarks were made, lie and his friend, Mr Cooper, bad made diligent acd unprejudiced search for all authority on the subject, and the authority they had found campeltid counsel to take the very couise that hud been taken in Gudgeon's case. Mr BroSsey thonght'that, in juttica to the presiding judge, he should be asked to state whether-he intended to reflect upon counsel's conduct In the remarks he made, tie knew that His Honor entertained a very high opinion of Mr llesketh, and he felt Hire that ho would not do anything that would injure either thut gentleman or the profes sion.

Mr tieske h said that he felt quitecer tain that in the remarks'he had seen fit to make Jits Honor was not actuated by per sonal feeling towards any member of the profc dion . i , Mr: Hill: That matter is not in question at all. The point is, whether the conduct1 of Mesisrs Hesketh and Cooper, in setting up the defence they did, is proper and jus tillable.

Mr Brasiey, holding to his opinion that the Judge (should be afforded an opportunity of making any statement: he might deem necesniry, moved, "-That a committee^ con s:stiog of three members of the profession, be appointed to wait upon Mr Justice Gillies to ask him wbat meaning he in tended to convey by the words made use ot by him in reference to the defence set up by Messrs Hesketh and Cooper in- the Gudgeon case. The Judge, he sub mitted, mittht have intended his words'to bsar a different construction from that which was sought to, be put upon them,: or perbapß he allowed his temper to get the better of his judgment, and never really intended to convey the meaning that was* now buing attached to his utterance. In any case he should' bs a-ked if he. had meant to say that Messrs Hesketh and Cooper were guilty of base and dishonour able conduct in setting up the defence they' did, and if so, what were his reasons for such au opinion.- .: ~; ; ' ~. ',. _ j Mr Hesketh read a further:extract from' the verbatim report of the Judge's sum ming up, to shew that His Honor had care fully considered his words, and that there could be no mistake as to his meaning, : Mr Biassey, in spite of that, thought it would be advisable to interview the Judge, in order at least to ascertain if he still adhered to his opinion.. Having in the meantime amplified and recast Ma proposiitqn, the gentleman then moved, "That the Chairman aid. Messrs 'Walter Hill and Alexander form a committee to wait upon His Honor in order to ascertain > Firstly, whether, ia his opinion, the counsel engaged- for the; defendant iv the Gudgeon case wire eon-:: ducting .a base and dishonourable defence, and whether he meant what he said when he stated .that they wore conducting a base and di-lionourable defence. Secondly, whether he considers the counsel for the defendant in that case guilty of unpro fessional conduct, in setting up the defence ; and thirdly, whether he wishes, to make, any oxpUnatlpn' ,to. the . profession with reference to the remarks tie made.on that occasion; the information to be obtained, prior to the adjourned meeting on Monday next,"- :; ■■-'•'"' ■ :"''-' v' '■'•'■' /'* j . Mr Walter Hill: I decline' to go'upon any such commission, and I suggest that the deputation consist of the mover himself (Laughter.); ..- •.;' ■; ■--•:; •• >.* •■ ', " Mr Tyler secinded the amendment on the ground that it was not so much an enquiry into the conduct of tho gentlemen i named as an - enquiry into the Judge's ' own1 con duct. Eomo gentlemen' by their laughter seemed ;to regard the - proposition in '■ the light .of a pood -joke, but he thought' the serious oharacler of the business before ] them warranted them- in.', taking all neces sary precautions to have the real facts before them before proceeding to action. He < thought, therefore, -that iin common, fairnessi the 'Judge should -he allowed the opportunity of .making an explanation if he saw fitito do so, before any formal expres sion oi opinion were made upon him, or vote of censure, tabled. Through, i being concerned in the case referred .to he, knew more about; it than anyone else, - and after,-' fully and carefully considering the whole matter his opinion of the defeucu was that, it was ba c and dishonourable, h.j eu i

...Mr Browning- rose toa.poiat!ot'.oi!der. Mr Tyler, he said, should remember/that; he was not addressing a> j.niy. : ;, - ; ; MrTylei caustically replied that he con sidered ho .was addressing.:an : audience more intelligent than a. jury, he again declared that he knew more about thexasc than anyone else—more even thau Mr Beskotb himself—and .he wbs clearly of opinion thut the defence was base and dis honourable, although he did not tthink that the conduct of tiic counsel setting it up was . base and dishonourable, i Be'also' knew that the Judge thought tbat too, for' His Honor made that abundantly clear in his slimming up. fxhe Judge- shewed that his opinion of Messrs Hesk'cth and Cooper was the same as that of any other profes sional'man who knew them, viz., that they: were incapable "of base and ,dishonourable conduct. Therefore, the enquiry into their conduct was a farce, ;■ and the .real object; was to enquire into the Judge's con duct. Heiice.Mx..Gj}jies should be allowed to mako an explanation before any enquiry: were enteied'Jipon.^^ i Mr Lalshley maintained that the Judge had cxprcsisly disclaimed any intention to relied; upon.the conduot of Messrs Hc.-kcth and Cooper. The speaker, in support of tbe judicial delivcranco, also pointed out .that there were things) that counsel should not do, even" although permitted by lawy but so far as Ike defence in the case under notice was concerned, be thought it quite justifiable, and neither base nor dishonor'! able. Still, he hold that the Judge, had; been careful not to reflect upon Messrs Hcsketh and Cooper's conduct a? dishonor, able. He supported the motion. ..'■'•: -.. Mr.Bill again said that he declined to make: one of.any snph deputation'as had been proposed. He considered that the man who wonld ssk a'Judsc whether he meant to say what he had said was a perfect! fool. (Laughter). . " ' ,v .';• MrHesketh ia reply to what Mr Tyler had said, denied that there Was any inten tion to inquiie iato tbe Judge's conduct, or to pasis a vote of censure upon him,' in deed, he would be sorry to^think that any thing of the kind were contemplated. The object simply waß to atcertaih whether His Honor's statement tbat the counsel in tbe • '."■••
