case 10 your prejudice, I carefully abstained from saying anything against you.But now it does pot lie on me to extenuate your fault, or affect not to gee it in its darkest light.You professed, with others, to redress the grievances of centuries ; to right the wroogs of an oppressed people ; and to remove the iron heel which you say the Saxon put on the Celt centuries ago ; and yet you began by inflicting on tt the very injuries of which you complained.Why should your iron tread be forced on us?Why should our homes be desolated and our young men be slain by you?Will any man of senge auswer this plain question?Was it Jess than murder for you to come here in the dead of night to ravage our country and slay our people?Aud all this was done under color of relieving Ireland! Could any right you may bave authorize you to commit such a wrong as you tien perpetrated?This is puting your case in a very plain and clear light.You stand bere surrounded by the friends and relatives of the men yoû slew on that occasion.If you were there as a reporter even, you were mot guiltless.Your object was lo encourage othera to come if these men bad been successful ; or keep them away if the reverse bind happened.Looking at your conduct in tuat light, you canuot be surprised that the law should be enforced, and tbut you should suffer the dread penalty \u201cof that law,\u2014as | very much fear you will, \u2014for how could we puuisb the young, reckless, and wnthinking young men to be brought up bere for trial, who fullowrd such as you, and placed confidence in you, if you were to be allowed to escape?Could you see any justice in punishing them in such r case?You complain unjustly that thuse who were in command on that occasion were not allowed to come here to give testimony on your bebulf.But! esnoot pervert the law, and the Crown cannot override it.If the Crown had given any such pledge of safe conduet as Ind been spoken of, it could not be carried ont.You have liad all the justice you could possibly get, and bave had every advantage of the form of Jaw.Everyone also abstained from urging too hardly against sou that which might bave been urged.But No #7 Alexander Milligan, auotber resident st Fit bat hus blond wert ery 1vr vengeance ue ture brie, was next called\u2014I saw « coutiderabie | who tad taken awsy his lite.He Jett how on body of men at Fort Erie on the lst of June, the 30th cf May Tae 10 go on à journey to Mon- about fivein the morning.(The witness looked firent.He wentos the cars at 8 o'clock, an!
