Judge Parsons,
. .
fa his Charge to the Grind ju;y of Philadelphia
County, delivered on the let of September, 1845,
after adverting to the Riots, Arsons and Murders
which took place in the City and Count• one year
alb, proceeds with the following philosophical re:
MOO or reflections, which ought to be printed in
letter. of Gold and read by every good Citizen in
the Commonwealth. We are sorry that want of
room prevents us from giving more of this
production:—
"Atter such stirring scenes, which for
a while convulsed the community, and
seemed Kitimat to threaten its disorgani
zation, if riot its destruction, two inqui
ries seem naturally to arise—ln what
way was quiet and good order restored?
hew' is the peace of society to be pre
seryed for the future? . _ .
.The reply to the tirst question is short.
The rietous spirit which at that time pre.
veiled so generally in some parts of our
'county was mainly quelled by a fixed and
settled determination of a large majority'
of our citizens that the la* should to en..
forced at all hazards. Those who Valued
life, liberty, and ,propeyty; volunteered to
Mil the officers to whom the administra
tion of the taiv hat)
. been entrusted, in
th'eir endeavori to suppress crime aild to
firing the criminal to punishment. In a
'ommunity where such .resolutioni exist,
and its citizens manifest 9• corresponding
action, outbreaks lire 'those referred to
cannot long prevail. .
I have alluded to this painful subject
iijainly for the ptirpose of offering some
subjects for your consideration, whichseem
to arise by answering the second inctuiri,
how is the peace of society to be pre-
Served in future] In other words, whit
are the most efficient means, in a large
thetrepolis,.( where die inhabitants are from
all parts of the World trained up under
different governments and thousaddswith
tint moral restraint, many,
.witliout any
fixed employment, and inany more who
only desirg to live by oppressing, or in
pine way injuring those around them, or
by plundering from others the ;newts for
their own pleasure or support,) for pre-.
serving good order and securing each in
the gnjuymeut of their natural rights?
terticularly in a republican government,
whereon are free and equal, anti no one
can exercise any arbitrary power, but ev
ery public functionary is responsible di
rectly to those around him.
Jo my opinion, there is but one course
which can be adopted to preserve the
peace ef society, and that by a faithful exs
tcution of the law, at all times and in ev
ery particular. If we have any laws
Which are oppressive and ought not to be
observed,del us repeal them, not violate
them; and it they are-violated, the offen
der should not be suffered td go unpunish
ed. Society, like an individdal, should
fie consisfent in its whole course of con
duct. or its character cannot be sustained
hor its _government maintained.. No one
•:vottlil be called a strictly honest Man,
who should say he does not steal from his
neigh*, but at the, same time..in ,the
most Unjust and wicked way, should de
fraud him out of half his property. Nor
will it answer to say that we will punish
riot, arson, and murder with great sever--
IY, and this will Prevent others from com
mitting the same . offences, while the law
in other particulars is violated with, impu•
nity, and all other offenders are ithfered
to go unpunished. •
Crime invariably . increases in' propirs
iiOn to' the laxity with which the law that
has been violated is administered; and
this increase always becomes alarming, if
the violations of taw are sanctioned by
tiublie opinion, either by direct express
siotts ut approbation, or by a tacit acqui
escence in the perpetration ofcrime. So,
on the other liand,critne invaaibly,decrea
sea when every rule is enforced—when
it Witty; but just punishment is meted out
to every one who offends against any
known law for the government of society,
and there is a settled determination in
the public mind that all violations of the
law shall be noticed and the guilty brought
tetpublic justice. The whole community
aliould consider all offence against an indi•
ur an infraction of the law, as di
rected against the :pantry; and that every
person had a direct interest in having the
offender brought public Justice.
The great attiotint of crime which too
often prevails in large cities arises from
the want of a proper tone in the public
mind.. We are too apt to become selfish
and leave to others what each should feel
personally to concern himself. We, for
get that it is the law which protects all
men, and that every one should contribute
individually to its support, arid notice its
violation, if he expects long to enjoy the
benefit of that pa otection.
I am conscidlia that these remarks may
seem severe, and that to Observe them
would impose obligations upon individuals
it nut upon society, which but leW are
willing to endure, yet nevertheless they
are true, and all who wish for a contiiiiia
lion of law and order in our city and, coun
ty should see the importance of regard
ing them ; and in the discharge of your
duties, they cannot be too often reflected
upon. .
lisoine poor widoit Woman or other un
fortunate individual keeps a tippling house
in one of the obscUre streets of our city,
it is said to be a hard thing that such per
son should be prosecuted and
,panished
for the, offence. yet it is a vioMliort of
the law, because we have a statue against
selling liquor by a less.measure than one
quart. And how ofteti is the observation
made that ' but little injury ie done there
by I .' But do tilt* who reason thus re
flect upon the injury done to society re
sulting from the offence. How many
children are deprived of the comforts of
life, if not their
,daily bread, because an
intemperate father spend's the small sum
he earns each day in , this same poor wid
ow's tippling house 1 How many wives
are compelled to tvee.p in silence over
their deserted fire sides .and witness the
forlorn condition of their little, ones stand
ing around them, and at midnight expe
rience the brutal conduct of an ititoitica
ted husband, becanse one person has been
permitted to violate the law with impuni
ty 7 The number of paupers this unlicen
sed place has driven . to the Allis house
can only lig known to those who trace the
history of the drunkard and his family,
from this scene of illegal conduct to his
final end. And perhaps to enumerate the
number of convicts sent to Our
,prisons,
in consequence of habits contracted at
such a place, connected with the vast
amount of money expended by the county
in their arrest, conviction, and long sup
port in confinement, would present a ta
ble of statistics which would arouse ev
ery good citizen to its importance, in re-'
gard to his pecuniary interest and cause
hint to exert every energy in enforcing
the law against Finch offenders. If the
evil rested here the injury would be com•
paratiVely stimuli, but were we to trace the
evil eflects of unpunished eriininals, fur
ther, it becomes still more alarming.--
Persons uncontrolled by toot al restraint,
reason in this way while Adv., their glass
at this unlicensed 'untie t tt This person
has violated the law io selling the liquor,
he has no license, if we engage in a riot,
sally should we be Punished more than
him. If we steal or rob, we may escape
deteCtion and perhapS iunishment, for no
one observes this violation of the law."—
Here is an example, arid crime is encour
aged ; for society winks at one violation
of, aw, hence the inference they will at
another. And besides all these evils the
hundreds of (tail crimes that are concoc
ted in these sinks of inlitity Ore but little
known to society at large, and their evil
consequences are not generally observed,
except;by those who are required. tq ad
minister the crintinal justice of the . coun
try. Let me inquire then, .gentlemen, is
it not of importance. that this so fre
quent violation of the law sho:ald be pun
ished ? Has not society at large a , deep
interest in the punishment of the offender
if they desirelo prevent the repetition of
critne and promote good order among us.
.likewiseAllere.iii a law passed open
our statute book passed as early a 5.1705,
prohibiting persons from drinking and tipp
ling in taverns or ale houses, on the Sab
bath, and making it penal for the keepers
of such houses to valuate it, and requi
ring constables to. search such houses anti
bring.the offenders to justice;. and if we
believe the reports there are hundreds
who violate this law eviwy Sunday, and
yet it passes unnoticed. If a constable
is found who ip willing to do his duty how
few persons sustain him in his faithful per
formance of official acts ? And how lit-.
tle regard is paid to this niattsr. at the polla,
in selecting men for the office *ho will
feeirtes,sly perform their duty.
• _ _
In the same year; 1705, there was an
act passed declaring that all engaged in
roots afid urilawful assemblies,
huuld be punished as rioters. If a con
stable should neglect; or relose to arrest
a rioter, all would unite in conticinnatjon
olhis conduct, and justly too,—and when
lid is disposed to do his duty in suppress
ing tippling on the Lord's day, is lip not
equally entitled to the support of, the
community T if magistrates should re,
fuse to aid in the arrest of rioters, or
judges should neglect to punish them,
their conduct would Merit severe censure.
And when the Legislature has grien the
punishment of those who violate the Sab
bath to Aldermen and !Justices of the
Peace, ought they not to be encouraged
in the performance hithair duty ? It is
the duty of every good citizen to see that
this law should be enforced, as much as it
is the act against riots; and if one is suf
fered to be violated with impunity, that
encourages the violatiOn of the other. I
assure you, gentlemen, if there were no
taverns or grog shops open for the sale of
liquor on Sunday, we should have no riots
thlit day,. nor nu disiuranzeii cf flu
companies; nor boys congregated at the
corners of the streets, planning mischief,
and annoying citizens as they pass.
It may be said to be a small matter for
two fire Companies, when returning from
a fire, to get into a disgraceful fight, and
injure each other, and for one to take the
engine or property of another; and utter
ly destroy it : that it is on,IY a conflict be
tween two belligerent ctOpanies ; that it
is an affair in which the community have
no great interest, and hence they often
go unpunished. But, gentlemen of the
Grand J ury, the whole country haves deep
interest in such a conflict ; and if the
offenders are permitted to go without be
ing brought to justice. we all softer there
by. Such acts are violations of law. If
afire engine can be destroyed to satiate
the anger or revenge of belligerents, then
may your d wellings, the temple, of, jus
tice be laid in ruin; if there if; not moral
and physical power enough to arrest and
subdue these violations of law: And this
is not all ; not only meat judicial officers
and jurors coolly reflect upon this sub
ject, and exert every energy within their
power for the suppression of such flagrant
outrages upon the law and good order of
society. but every riAember of the commu
nity must feel the responsibility, and aid
by word and deed, in the vindication of
those rules which ought to govern us.—
Similar observations might be made in re
gard to every crime upon the calender.--
The position which 1 assume is this, the
only safe way to ensure a regard fur the
law, and to preserve good order in a dense
ly populated community, is, by holding
! every one responsible who violates the
law ; no matter what the offence is—that
any other course of action only encour
ages crime, and renders it more diflictilt
of suppression in times of popular ex
cite cent. And Igu one step further, that
a faithful observance or, ft lt liws is one of
the main principles tipdn Which republi
can institutions are based.
Another effectual means for the sup
pression of crimes is by fixing a high
standard roc the value of human life. It
is an undoubted fact, that in all county les
where there is a low estimate of !ife,
crimes are more numeropsond the per,
sons and property ,of the inhabitants far
more in jeopardy than under governments
which exert their whole power in causing
the MUMMEER to be justly punished, ac
cording to ih,e law of the land, The cor
rectness of this remark is strikingly ex•
emplefied by comparing One portion of our
country with another.
In the oldest. States of the Union where
he who takes the life of his fellow man is
never suffered to escapepunishMent, un
less the act was clearly justified t law,
their criminal calenders are small ; the
persons and property of all are safe, and
but few are molested in the enjoyment or
their rights. But such is not the state el
society in some of our newly settled
States, where it is said the. Bowie knife,
the dirk, or pistol are used on the most
trifling occasions ; and not unfrequently
the foul murderer is suffered to walk un
molested among his fellow citizens.
'File reported history of the adminis
tration of justice for a few years past,
shows that the Lynch code has olten been
the common law iit such pieces, if the
statemehtS is the Oldie journals are be
lieved, and that robberies are frequent ;
the uttering of counterfeit money the dai
ly occupation of many ; and but feW are
secure in the pOssessicin of their- Itouses
and lands, or their persons. Such com
munities never prosper, till the inhabitants
learn properly to estimate the Hies of
each other.
Thts is not the occasion tq indicate what
in my opinion should be the punishment
inflicted upon one who maliciously takes
the life of another ; all I design to say, is
this, viten a man is guilty of the offence
there should be no hesitation in the pub
lic mind about punishing the offender ac
cording to the existing law of the State,
no matter what may be its severity. If
the Statue law is unreasonable, let it be
altered, but while it remains in force, it
should never be evaded nor violated, by
courts or juries, nor its influence weaken
ed by the force of public opinion.
The rule of action wt?ich ought to reign
in the mind of every man that wishes to
sustain civil society, should be this, LET
MURDEIiEIt 13E .
,PUNISHED IN ACCO:ID.
/INCE warts TiIE LAW AS IT IS WRITTEN.
It is to be feared this subject has,nbt
been as fully considered by our citizens
as it ought to be, nor at all times had the
calin,deliberation ul Men of Meat moral
worth When called into the jury box.—
The determination ill every important
case.his a greater or less, influence . upon
society, by. either suppressing or encour
aging dime.. Nothing can be more del
eterious in its effect upon.the community
at large, than that a known
. offender
should escape punishment through a mis
placed sympathy for the criminal. It is
giving a tacit judicial sanction to crime.
For if this kinknestrand pity is extended
to orie criminal, it mtitit, be to all, on mat
ter ,what may be the offence With which
he is charged for justice in her modest
sway, most always be impartie, She
has no lavors to bestow. The scales must
be equal, no matter who is placed in the
balance."
