And murrn ring demons hate him, and ad

SEDITIOUS PRACTICES.
" OF the many remaikable trials which
the present extraordinary system of crimi
nal jurifprudcnce in G. Britain and Ireland
has brought before the public eye ; this,
certainly is most entitled to universal pe
rusal and attention. It devclopes, more
fully than any publication extant, the lat
est view« and obj<as of the Britilh conven.
tion ; and proves inconteflribly, that judi
cial prosecutions (or perferutionsf and de
cifionsare now more the result of the pre
sent order of things, than any oldfafhion
ed attachment to the laws or the constitu
tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the
wonder and admiiation of mankind, the
the firm, and patriotic conduct of
(his devoted viftim—(his ' Second Sydney '
as he has justly and deservedly been called';
who in the course of one of the longest tri
als we know of, onailiftcd even by a iingle
member of the long robe, evinced such a
depth of legal and constitutional know.
I«dge and, in a speech of four hours
length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence
and firft rate abilities, as aftoniflied

drew involuntary applause from the venal
and time-serving creature of a corrupt go
