P.wv Paw, Miobioar, Jari iri 9, lvT 1
During tbe progresa of the foigery trial just
concluded, this journal refrained from making
any comments on tbe case or tbe evidence, ex
cept as to some of the experts produced to
prove the geniunenesB of th signature to the
instrument alleged to have been forged. The
experts from Cirand Papnls, after testify ing
here, had become tbe easy dupes of a r-trnngci
11 that city, and had paid, over their banl;
counters. iare Bums of money on forged
certifi ates. by which thev demonstrated tneir
utter worthlbBBuess as judges of handwritings.
Kor Biying what we did about them, the coun
sel for the respondent took oft'ense and, as we
understand tbe matter, went to the IwtRi with
our case aud represented that the conductor of
thiB journal. The Tri:e Northerner, was
trinity of great indecorum and a misdemeanor
to wit ; of the crime of "contempt of Court,"
and should bo subjected to the pains and pen
alties of a tine and a salutary lecture from tbe
"wool-sack." His Honor. Judge I'.rown re
garded tlie mat' or in a very different light
I fortunately for us I and wbb of tbo opinion
that the bounds of editorial propnetv had not
been transcended.
The counsel may have bad In their minds tbo
recent case in bMMi BOMltl in which Jttdgl
Wells, one of the JndgM ol the Supreme Court
had sent out and brought in the KditorH of the
Ratardoy JftmMf -tap!''! of the citv of Bos
ton, and lined them twenty-five dollars for, in
the language 0: the Judge, "contempt m pub'
li-hiug an article tonding to 1 iaa the jury in a
suit then pending before him."
It ban time our. of mind been argued by the
more sensirivo and contservntive of tbe logal
1 rofeasion that no jont Dal or person, by Ibl
circulation of news touching the lats or evi
dence in any case pending, cai be justified In
prejudicing the jury, 01 IhOM who uiiu'bt be-
. Come the jury ; hut never l e'ore. 111 this conn
try at least, have we heard of the enforcomen'
t of the theory ly pains aud penalties, on the
j art of a Judge. The idea ought to be obsolete
for it grows out of that other, equally had.that
1 no man who has read of or formed an opinion
iu a luurder ca.se, can sit upon the jury. Both
ideas have grown from those ancient forms of
, government which have looked to othcinl safei v
through the ignoranc; of. rather than the in
telligence of tbe people. KnIL'btened and bl end
Judges, sitting in American courts, have,
for years past puBhed aside this idea as dcoO
eistent with this progressive aue, and as enriro
ly unnecessary in attaining the ends of justice.
It seems (0 have l een reserved for a Suprem"
Judge of enlightened Massa i;nsetts to pu' a
newer aud more arbitrary con-trnction upon
the old ulea.and one which, if allowed to stand.
1 more senouslv threatens tba liberties of the
press than anything which bus yet transpired
1 in the history of this country. If an ediror
may not comment on evidence or facts adduc-
1 ed. be surely cannot publish any of the details
01 a crime before trial is had and a verdict
rendered for until tbe trial iB reached it can
not be known jaBt what facts may influence the
judgment of the jury. This is not a question
between liberty aud hcen-e. such as is some
times raised in suits for liliel. The Kditors of
the KajJSM- were not accused of any abuse of
that liberty usually accorded to the press : but
by tbe arbitrary mandate of a taiga, by virtue
of poweiB presumed to be inherent in him, and
not awakened by tbo appeal of any person
claiming to be agrieved, tbe Kditors were sent
for and on tbe dictum of one man pronounced
to be guilty Of "contempt. ' Phis appears to
htj the kind of precdent that was sought to bo
established in Michigai where vast sums of
money aro yearlv raised to support her institu
tions of learning a State whoso proudest boast
ih that all her citizens enjoy the largest f;i ib
ties to become intelligent.
The proposition to bt submitted to tbo peo
plo at the spring election to raise bf tax tbe
small Bum of two thou-m l 1 dlars for 1 he pur
pose of constructing a secure and safe place m
which to keep the public records soems to meet
with o;.pOHition in some quarters, and what is
siiri 11-tug is that the opposition seems lo be
BMd on locil prejudices and peCy jcaloiisic- .
In ui.iny cases Ibe public records afford the
only evidence of a continuous chain of title tbo
, prior deeds, porhapB uover having been deliver
ed to the purchaser, he rely ing on the evidence
' furnished by the books in the public rogistry.
We LUppose that it is well known to evory
body that all the valuable public records of the
; county are kept in the 0111 1 House, a wooden
structure which may, at any time, be swept
j away by a conflagration. It will be recollected
i that at tbe first gioat firo in our village in 117,
j that the Court House took tire on the .-oof and
; was only saved from the general wreck by the
1 curago and intrepidity of oue man who at
groat peril to himself, extinguisned the flames
and guarded it from furthor danger. It may
be fresh in the recollection of OMrptopta that
! the Court House of Kent county, together .vitb
all the records, were dostroyed by tire, and that
all property owners in that county wore put to
great trouble and expense, to re-establish and
sottlo ;he titlo to their property. like M M
rence JN would bo a very groat calamity, and
would result m loss to the property holders of
a quarter of a million of dollars or more in the
costs of litigation which would be quite MM to
follow, and proving and settling their titles
through the intervention of the coitrte of law
and of equity. It is true that such an occur
rence would furnish a great pecuniary feast to
the lawvers, but would al work lrreparablo
m.-chief to everv one e'se-a condit.on of
things that none of us ever want to experience
a condition that should be guarded araint by
adopting timelv precautionary measures. We
feel confident the pMfM " "ieir bcet
interests in this matter and grant the -mill
pittance necessary to insure the safety of the
public records. It will 1 economy to do so.
