He feels, and ever will feel, that he has received an incurable wound from that sword which he, in com- mon with his fellow citizens, had put into the hands of the magistracy for their protection. ” The case made in the court below was one appealing very strongly to the reason of that tribunal to grant a new trial. It was certainly from no fault of the court before which the defendant was tried that the trial resulted in a conviction. A number of unfortunate circumstances concurred in presenting him before the jury substantially without defence, and yet standing thus unaided and unshielded before them, there was evident hesitation with the jury in convicting him of the crime of murder. There is every reason to believe that on another trial the crime laid to his charge will, if not excused, be greatly mitigated. I think it is eminently due to this comparative stranger to us and our institutions-this “ waif, ” as he has been appropriately called, cast upon our shores from LL the central flowery kingdom “- that he should have one more opportunity to show the extenuations of his offence, even if he cannot suc- ceed in wholly purging himself of crime.
