No. 463-VOL. IX.

PRICE 18.

The following are the Names of the Gentlemen who favour THE JURIST with Reports of Cases argued and decided in the several Courts of Law and Equity:

Most of our readers will remember the able speech with which the Solicitor-General introduced his Bill for granting an Appeal in Criminal Cases. The necessity for some such measure is so obvious to those who are qualified to form an opinion upon the subject, that a less able exposition of his views would have been sufficient to convince his hearers. Indeed, it may be truly said, that, of all reforms in the criminal law, this is the one most wanted, and without which all others would be illusory, and fall infinitely short of giving to the subject that full and complete justice which he is entitled to require at the hands of the state.

cannot be done without delay and expense. It cannot, however, be doubted, that deliberate justice, although necessarily attended with more or less of delay, is preferable to the injustice incident to improvident haste,. and necessarily resulting from the neglect of reasonable means for the exclusion of error. The expenditure of labour and cost in criminal investigations can scarcely be placed in competition with the evils which must inevitably result from want of due caution. The question. resolves itself mainly into this: whether the cost of correction can fairly be placed in competition with the evils likely to result from the want of correction."

"It appears to us that the law of England is at present very defective, as regards the means affordIt avails but little to amend the rules of the criminal ed for the correction of errors in criminal proceedings, law, so long as we retain a mode of administering them and especially such as are frequently, and, indeed, so ill calculated to secure their just application.

In their Eighth Report, stances, and denying it in others, without any adequate lately published, they discuss it at considerable length, reason for the distinction, and is thus faulty, either in and forcibly point out its necessity. "The question," denying a new trial where it would be consistent with say the Commissioners, "whether a motion for a new justice to grant one, or in granting a new trial where it trial ought to be entertained, is one of high importance ought properly to be withheld. The instances in which to the due administration of criminal justice.
