THE charges of our judges to grand juries at the assizes possess a peculiar value. In addition to special observations upon the calendar before them, they ge- nerally take the opportunity of tracing the prominent causes of crime, and the means which tend to their removal. The words come from those who have them- selves fought the battle of life in its hottest arena, and whose experience of human nature in its fallen state prevents them alike from exaggerating its strength or The charge of Mr. Baron Alderson to the grand jury of Yorkshire at the Winter Assizes of 1854 presents these characteristics in an eminent degree*. The kind heart of the judge has been deeply touched by the injustice of society committed towards its offending members. The hand which holds the scales of jus- tice may well tremble-nay, be paralysed-at the contemplation of the wrongs inflicted upon the cri- minal, as well as by him. The theme-thanks to the men and women who have pressed it upon public attention-has no longer the excitement of novelty, but it is one of such paramount interest that it recurs again and again to the reflecting mind, and imposes obligations which no individual can shift from himself, either upon his neighbour or upon the Government. This is especially the case since the Legislature have armed the public with fitting weapons for its warfare against crime.
