THE LATE RESTRICTIONS ON THE CALCUTTA PRESS, CONSISTENT WITH "THE LAWS OF THIS REALM."

Ir is curious to observe the gradations by which an experienced offender, or his yet more experienced counsel, proceeds in the management of a hopeless case. On his first accusation before the magistrate, he asserts that no crime has been committed; or, if that point is too clear, his total innocence of all participation in the guilt. In the next stage of the proceedings, he rests his hopes upon inconsistencies in the evidence, or impugns the character of the witness. Defeated here, he sometimes has recourse to the more desperate remedy of perjury, and stoutly swears an alibi. When this crutch fails him, he trusts to the ingenuity of special pleading, dissects the indictment, and boldly attempts to baffle the vindictive pursuit of law, by dodging it through the intricacies of its own mazy labyrinth. Disappointed in this last resort, the wretched culprit breaks out into furious imprecations against all the legal array before him, or, with the audacity of despair, questions the power of his judge, the existence of the law, and the legality of its process. In a manner similar to this, the libellous writers against our Indian Government have behaved Asiatic Journ.-No. 99.

in the conduct of their own desperate case. First there was nothing criminal, nay it was positively meritorious to attack with scurrility and virulence, the proceedings of the Oriental Government: but they were too modest, nevertheless, to appropriate the merit; too diffident publicly to assert their title to any share of the praise: it belonged not to them, the ostensible conductors of the public press, but to their anonymous correspondents, who were too generous to disclose their names. It would not do. Despite of their modesty, they were compelled to take their meed of public applause, and withal, to abide by their legal responsibility. Then followed, in due succession, the usual attacks upon the consistency and the respectability of their opponents: still it would not do

a jury of their countrymen found them guilty. Then, in their order, came legal quirks and quibbles innumerable-but special pleading was of no avail. In defiance of legal subtlety, their writings were decided to be libellous, and libels were decided to be illegal. Afterwards followed punishment-and there was no lack then of furious, unmeasured, vulgar invective, VOL. XVII. 2 G
