prosecution, in the absence of Mr. MURRAY,
the attorney, would take upon himself the responsibility of consenting to
discharge the jury.

Mr. COOPER, thinking it cruelty to confine the jury any longer would
yield also to a consent for their discharge.

The jury were then sent for, and in their passage to the Court were
loudly and rapturously cheered by the bystanders. Having answered to
their names,

Mr. Justice HOLROYD addressed them.--Gentlemen of the jury, I am glad
that it is in my power to relieve you from your present unpleasant
situation. The learned counsel on both sides have consented to discharge
you without your returning a verdict.

The jury then left the Court, and were again loudly cheered in their
passage through the Hall.

Thus ended the first attempt of the Constitutional Association, or the
Bridge-street Banditti, to get a verdict; particularly important to the
country--particularly honourable to the counsel for the defendant, and
the honest Jurors who made so noble a stand for the Liberty of the
Press--and particularly disgraceful to all parties connected with the
prosecution.
