PUBLIC PROSECUTORS. 2 In criminal cases?-I think so. . Has it never happened to your Lordship to see a criminal case very ill got up for want of sufficient evidence being brought to convict the prisoner?-Yes, very often. [Lord Campbell's Evidence continued from p. 34.] Carrying out your Lordship's suggestion, there would be no new principle introduced, because such is the case with regard to Mint prosecutions; there is a check by the Crown?-There are various acts of Parliament which impose penalties for certain acts, and no process can be commenced for recovering these penalties without the consent of the Attorney-General. For instance, there was the Religious Titles Act, which was passed upon what was called the papal aggression. I believe that those prosecutions cannot be instituted without the authority of the Attorney-General, and I believe that it would be an extremely wholesome_restraint to be put upon those prosecutions to which I have referred, for perjury and conspiracy, if the fiat of the Attorney-clerk should be alone appointed by the magistrates to General, or some public functionary, were required before they were instituted. My Lord Denman, as I observe in his evidence given before the same commissioners, says very much the same thing; he says that he thinks our system open to very great objections, and he particularly dwells upon the fact of the temptation to collusion which it holds out to the prosecutor?-That does not at all operate, I think, with regard to murders, or burglaries, or larcenies; but it refers to those private prosecutions which arise out of pecuniary transactions. It used to be a common practice, where there was a dispute upon some pecuniary matter, to file a bill in the Court of Chancery; an answer was put in; there was an indictment against the defendant for that answer; it was considered a common step in the procedure. Then, upon the indictment, very likely money may be paid without a trial; and if there is a trial and a conviction, money is paid after the conviction, to prevent the sentence being carried into effect. Generally speaking, your Lordship would not be of opinion that it was proper to interfere with the right which the party now possesses, but in all cases of perjury and conspiracy your Lordship would require the intervention of a public officer ?-I think that the following suggestion might act as usefully, namely, that there should be no such thing as presenting a bill of indictment to the grand jury until there has been a previous complaint laid before a magistrate.. Would not a public prosecutor prevent that?-Most undoubtedly, and therefore I wish to have a public prosecutor. I do not at all recede from my opinion, that if we could have a public prosecutor upon the Scotch system it would be a very great improvement. I see very frequently that cases are very badly got up, and that there are cases where a prosecution ought never to have been instituted, from there being insufficient evidence. There are cases where there has been guilt, but where it is not sufficiently proved before a jury, on account of the case being negligently got up. Is your Lordship of opinion that it would be very much better that in every petty sessional division one act as their adviser?—I should think that highly desirable, because it would give you the best chance of having an intelligent and honourable man; and the jurisdiction of the unpaid magistracy of England, which I believe, upon the whole, is very beneficial, has been very much improved by a magistrate now never acting unless in public, and with the assistance of a clerk to the magistrates. Formerly the squire sat in his ball, and he had for his clerk his gamekeeper, and they had in the poacher before them, and then they did with him what they liked; but now there are no sittings, except at petty sessions, and this is done coram populo; and there is, I really believe, almost universally, a respectable solicitor who acts as assistant and adviser to the magistrates. I believe that, with such advice, justice is now very satisfactorily administered by the magistracy of England. Do you not think that it would be well, in any alte ration of the law, to insist that a magistrate should not himself appoint his own clerk, but that that clerk should be appointed, as he generally is in the counties, by the petty sessional division?—I should think that that would be highly desirable. Referring to another subject, has your Lordship ever turned your thoughts to the consideration of allowing the prisoners to call their witnesses at the public expense? That would be in some cases beneficial, but it would lead to great abuse. If public prosecutors were appointed, in your Lordship's opinion in whom might the appointment safely be vested?-I should say, certainly in the Crown. Supposing they were appointed, would your Lord bene se gesserint?-I think that they ought not to go out with the Attorney-General, as they do in Scotland, which surprises me very much; because, when the Lord Advocate goes out, the deputes go out along with him. . . These are my Lord Denman's words: "Our procedure for the purpose of preliminary inquiry is open to great objection. The injured party may be helpless, ignorant, interested, corrupt; he is altogether irresponship be of opinion that they should be appointed dum sible, yet his dealing with the criminal may effectually defeat justice. On general principles, it would evidently be desirable to appoint a public prosecutor." Does your Lordship agree in that ?-Lord Denman, for whose memory I have the highest respect, was Common Serjeant of London, and presided in the Central Criminal Court a great deal, and had better opportunity of observing these matters than I have had; but it has not come under my own observation, that in regard to such offences as larceny or burglary, highway robbery, or any of those offences, certain evil has arisen from the private prosecutor proceeding without the intervention of a public prosecutor. For instance, take the case of a rich man who has received an injury amounting to a criminal injury, and the case of a poor man, does not your Lordship think that the rich man is in a much easier position?-What is the offence? Suppose a case of ill-treatment, personal injury?-I do not think that in England there is any personal injury which may not be brought to justice. If a person can get an attorney to take up his case ? -If there is the smallest ground for an action, an attorney will take it up without the slightest difficulty. .... (To be continued).
