Show ENGLISH AND AMERICAN JUSTICE the recent trials and speedy convictions vict ions of persons charged with will murder in england and ireland have elicited many comments from the american press some journals have spoken approve approvingly angly of them while others have considered the courts gourt s have acted with ly y haste and that it is possible that tha some one of the accused hag has been executed innocently and that convictions vict ions were arrived at by the juries with a view to strike terror to the hearts of irishmen and 1 keep eap them in bondage and endeavor to reconcile them to their unhappy condition welly wo by no means indorse the tile lut named conclusions of S some ome newspaper writers while we hold that every person accused of crime is entitled to ft fair honest trial by his peers and ind that ample time should be given him I 1 to procure witnesses to prove his innocence 1 no cence if he be can we at the same e time believe that public and individual safety demands that these inquisitions shall not be unnecessarily I 1 delayed or protracted with a view to defeat the enda ends of justice and let lot the guilty go free to imbrue their hands in the blood of other victims it ia is true that in the courts of great britian a trial like that of guiteau for the deliberate murder odthe of the chief magistrate of the na tion would not have been protracted to the length that trial was waa in the district of columbia involving the country in so much useless anxiety and expense neither would the star route trials which have been in progress V so long and which even now a appear to be almost interminable have been allowed to disgrace the courts and country by the pettifog pettifogging gilig of the lawyers so many months some of the journals in the east 11 have fave instituted comparisons between R english and american justice and as we observed above the criticisms of some have been adverse and some favorable to that of the british courts the most
