  • Passenger Cases. --Smith V. Turner., 48 US
    JANUARY TERM, 1849. 8S Passenger Cases.-Smith v. Turner. motion of Mr. Inge, of counsel for the defendants in error, to dismiss this writ of error for the want ofjurisdiction. On con- sideration whereof, it is now here ordered and adjudged by this court, that this cause be and the same is hereby dismissed for the want of jurisdiction. GEORGE SMITH, PLAINTIFF IN .ERROR, V. WILLIAM TuINEE, HEALTH- COMMISSIONER OF THE PORT OF Naw YORK. JAMES NoRRIS, PLAINTIFF IN ERROR, v. THE CITY OF BOSTON. Statutes of the States of New York and Massachusetts, imposing taxes upon alien passengers arriving in the ports of those States, declared to be contrary to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and therefore null and void. Inasmuch as there was no opinion of the court, as a court, the reporter refers the reader to the opinions of the judges for an explanation of the statutes and the goints in which they conffilcted..with the Constitution aifd laws of the United tates. THESE were kindred cases, and were. argued together. They were both brought up to this court by writs of. error issued un- der the twenty-fifth section of the Judiciary Act; the case of Smith v. Turner being brought from the Court for the Trial of Impeachments and Correction of Errors of the State of New' York, and the case of Norris v. The City of Boston from, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. The opinions of. the justices of this court connect the two casds so closely, that the same course will be pursued in reporting them which was adopted in the License Cases.

The People. mockery to tell a man who has been unjustly condemned that his redress is a pardon. 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.
