case, it being so very peculiar a one, to stand over, and not to be allowed to be tried at the then sittings in Green-street, as perhaps we might discover some additional evidence. There was additional evidence got, and the consequence was, that afterwards that case was tried before two of our most experienced judges, and a verdict of guilty was returned, and I believe most properly so..

Horatio Waddington, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, and Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office, examined.

I think the great objection to the present system, or rather the absence of system, is the entire uncertainty in what mode a particular prosecution may be followed out. One system prevails in the metropolitan districts, another system prevails in counties where there are police; there are hardly two boroughs, I believe, in which precisely the same system is adopted; and, generally speaking, I may say that the mode in which a person will be prosecuted who is accused of a particular offence will depend, not upon any general practice established by law, but upon some accident connected with the jurisdiction within which the offence is committed.

[ocr errors]

Have you many instances at the Home Office of a sort of appeal made to the Home Office in consequence of proof in favour of the prisoner not having been given? Yes, very frequently. One great cause of complaint, which the gentlemen of the Bar will easily understand, is, that the prisoners have witnesses present, and that their counsel decline to call them. That is one of the most frequent complaints, I think; and that puts us in a painful position; but still we have no hesitation whatever in saying that they must abide by the acts of their counsel, unless they can shew grounds to induce the Home Secretary to make some further investigation to desire the committing magistrate to hear what the witnesses have to say. That has been done in some cases, when many of the respectable persons in the neighbourhood have come forward and stated that there was a strong opinion in favour of the parties.

Suppose, after the trial, circumstances are stated which may induce the belief that evidence has not been given for the prisoner?-That is the case which I put where the prisoner had actually witnesses in attendance, and where the counsel, to avoid a reply, which probably is the usual reason, and perhaps fancying that they might not prove what was stated, decline to call them. In such a case is the case sent back?-No, we have no power to do that. We endeavour to get out the facts as well as we can-in a very insufficient way, I admit-and it is only where the case comes out very clearly, and with the approval of the committing magistrate, or of more than one if we can obtain it, that we grant a pardon.

Who sits in judgment upon such facts?—The Secretary of State is the only person.

Mr. Samuel Robert Goodman, Chief Clerk at the Mansion House, examined.

I recollect a small prosecution, on the Norfolk circuit, for stealing a petticoat, (I cannot give dates, because I have not had an opportunity of ascertaining them), where the expense was about 507. for stealing a petticoat of the value of 18. . . . . Another case I will instance, of stealing a duck; that was at Buckingham or Aylesbury, I am not quite sure which; it was in the county of Buckingham. There, I think, the magistrates' certificate alone was about 147. or 167. for stealing a duck of the value of 1s. . . . . There were a great number of witnesses bound over to appear, and upon laying the certificate before Lord Denman, who was the presiding judge, he directed the clerk to pay his own fees, and to pay the witnesses for coming there

.

In

as well... I merely refer to these instances to suggest the expediency of giving a magistrate summary jurisdiction in small affairs of that kind..... In the case of Greenacre, I taxed the costs when I was at the Central Criminal Court. that case the solicitor for the prosecution who conducted it was, I think, about 1802. out of pocket in getting up the evidence. ... I would also refer you to a case which was prosecuted by Mr. Gray, a merchant in the city, at the Central Criminal Court, for conspiracy, which was rather an important case; he told me, after the prosecution was over, that the costs of that prosecution had been to him between 500%, and 6001.

Mr. Phillimore.-You think that a policeman is to be trusted equally with a respectable solicitor?—I do not mean to say that they are persons of equal standing; but I mean to say, that as far as I have been able to judge, they are equally to be trusted.

Mr. W. Ewart.-You place sufficient confidence in their knowledge to think that they are proper men to marshal the evidence?-Their duties are very simple: all they have to do is to lead the witnesses from one office to the other; from the indictment office to the court to be sworn; from the court to the grand jury room; from the grand jury room back again to the office, to ascertain whether there is a true bill; and then to the court....

The Attorney-General.-Do you not find practically that a policeman, having, as it were, the conduct of the case, getting up the case, bringing the witnesses, and taking it into court, acquires more or less the character of a partisan; he comes with a zealous desire to convict if he can ?-No doubt he does.

Are not the policemen generally witnesses in the cases which they bring up?-No doubt.

Do you think it desirable that a man who has to give evidence, and sometimes very important evidence, should, before he comes into the witness-box, have been mixed up with the conduct of the prosecution, and should have a strong desire to convict?—I do not think he can divest himself of human nature.

Is not that a reason why he should not have the conduct of the prosecution?-He has no conduct of the prosecution.

You say he brings the witnesses?--If you call that getting up the evidence.

Call it by any name you please, it produces zeal in the case?--I think that a policeman will exercise as great an amount of zeal whether there is a solicitor in the case or not.

Do you not find that practically a man who mixes himself up in the conduct of the case, the getting up of the evidence, the marshalling of the evidence, and the bringing of the case into court, acquires a degree of zeal to insure conviction which he otherwise would not?I think it is probable it may be so.

Do you not know that it is so, and that one sees it comprehend you. I am anxious to give you a right every day?—You must excuse me if I do not thoroughly answer if I possibly can. I want to know whether you make a distinction between a solicitor being employed and not.

I do not ask you as to a solicitor being employed; I ask you whether the fact of a policeman mixing himself up in getting up the case does not produce in his mind a desire to convict the party?—I think it does.

Do you not think it wrong that a man should be a witness in a case of which he has the getting up; that it is a bad thing that a man should come and give his evidence with such a strong desire?—I think it better that somebody else should take the whole of it, and that the policeman should not.
