Page 66 - Who is it that rears up the shade of those lofty forests, and blasts them with the quick lightning at his pleasure ? The same Being who gave to you a country on the other side of the waters, and gave ours to us; and by this title we will defend it," said the warrior, throwing down his tomahawk upon the ground, and raising the war-sound of his nation.
Page 56 - Hastings were, by the implied consent of the Commons, in every hand and on every table ; when by their managers the lightning of eloquence was incessantly consuming him, and flashing in the eyes of the public ; when every man was with perfect impunity saying, and writing, and publishing just what he pleased of the supposed plunderer and devastator of nations ; would it have been criminal in Mr Hastings himself to...

Page 65 - East would, long since, have been lost to Great Britain, if civil skill and military prowess had not united their efforts to support an authority — which Heaven never gave — by means which it never can sanction.
Page 68 - Constitution, by the exertion of patriot citizens, has been brought back to its standard. Under such terrors, all the great lights of science and civilization must be extinguished; for men cannot communicate their free thoughts to one another with a lash held over their heads.
Page 46 - GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY, MR. STOCKDALE, who is brought as a criminal before you for the publication of this book, has, by employing ME as his advocate, reposed what must appear to many an extraordinary degree of confidence ; since, although he well knows that I am personally connected in friendship with most of those, whose conduct and opinions are principally arraigned by its author, he nevertheless commits to MY hands his defence and justification.
Page 169 - J. — This Court has never yet determined that a tender of bank notes is at all events a good tender : but if they have been offered, and no objection has been made on that account, this Court has considered it to be a good tender : and very properly so, for bank notes pass in the world as ca»h.
Page 66 - These reflections are the only antidotes to those anathemas of super-human eloquence which have lately shaken these walls that surround us; but which it unaccountably falls to my province, whether I will or no, a little to stem' the torrent of, by reminding you that you have a mighty sway in Asia, which cannot be maintained by the finer sympathies of life, or the practice of its charities and affections. What will they do for you, when surrounded by two hundred thousand men, with artillery, cavalry,...
Page 47 - First, that every information or indictment must contain such a description of the crime that the defendant may know what crime it is which he is called upon to answer. Secondly, that the jury may appear to be warranted in their conclusion of guilty or not guilty.
Page 256 - I admit that there are certain irregularities which are not the subject of criminal law, but when the criminal law happens to be auxiliary to the law of morality, I do not feel any inclination to explain it away.
