"with the same exact and diligent attention
"to the proper merits of the case as that
"which the Judge upon the Bench was expected
"to maintain and show in the trial

"of the latter question is as much
"a function of Magistracy as the trial
"of the former. The public Welfare" (here

sermon) "the public welfare", says he "is
"interested in both. The conviction of an
"offender should depend upon nothing
"but the proof of his guilt, nor the execution
"of the sentence upon any thing beside
