Meantime a crime circumstance by which the denials
and explanations given by Mr Attorney General and Mr
Marryat are themselves in a considerable degree explained
and their importance at the same time in a considerable
degree reduced is the actual state of the more compleat
view given of the practice of in this head by the admissions
expressed and implied, contained in the Lord Chief Baron's
defence of it – as above-mentioned. The Of the complaint
as contained in the 2d & 3d of those charges of Mr Whitbread
the sum and substance is – that in general Juries in
Crown causes are in the Exchequer at least, reduced to a
body differing very little from a permanent one: exposed
thereby to those corruptions which by the Statute have been
expressly stated as the experienced result of such a state
of things: and this is exactly that state of things which
the Lord Chief Baron defends, and of which by defending
he admitts the existence.

In the single instance of Mr Marryat we are bound
to admitt, provisionally at least, and untill by cross examination
his evidence has been compleated rendered compleat, and in case of
any inaccuracy corrected – we are bound under that
restriction to admitt that the dismission in case of refractiveness,
did not take place.

But on this subject two remarks present themselves.
one is – that though in the instance of that particular Jurymen no
such effect took place, it follows not but that in the instance
of any other number of Jurymen it may have taken place.

The other is, that from supposing it such not to have been
in practice in any of the particular causes in which it happened
to how to officiate in that character, it follows not but
may never had place in an indefinite number of other causes.
