ANTI-CENSORSHIP LEAGUE.
We feel no compunction in quoting the venerable declaration,
" When bad men combine, good men should unite." Our reason for
this hardihood lies in the circumstance, that a meeting of gentlemen
was convened at the Waterloo Rooms, Edinburgh, on Friday last, " for
the purpose of expressing practical sympa'hy with the Scotsman news-
paper, in regard to the verdict of £400 damages obtained against it
for defamation at the instance of Mr Duncan M'Laren." The
Chairman, Sir William Gibson Craig, formerly M.P. for Edinburgh,
made some sensible remarks ; concluding as follows :—
Most people are aware of the nature of the security provided, by the
abundant wisdom of our ancestors, for the sufficient wisdom of the
Lord Mayor of London. Some, however, may require to be informed
that it consists in obliging the Lord Mayor Elect, as the condition of
being entitled to seat himself in his Chair, to count certain hobnails,
and ro chop a given number of sticks. The consequence, or at least
the sequence, of this precaution for insuring the rationality of Lord
Mayors is, that our Civic Monarch enjoys a celebrity which is not
merely European, but also Asiatic, African, American, and Australian.
Our lively neighbours and allies, in particular, regard him with the
most distinguished consideration, his customary appellation among
them being " Le Grand Lord Maire."
Seeing that this provision for the intellectual ability of Lord Mayors
has worked so remarkably well in their case, it is intended to extend
it to the case of other persons who are called upon to exercise judicial 4
functions much more important than those of a mere Magistrate ; they jthe press throushoJt the co^-

" The words founded on had been used in the heat of an excited contest, and amid
great provocation, and if it waB in future to be held that such conduct of such public
men was not open to such comments, theie was an end to all freedom of political
discussion in Scotland. It would be impossible to express contempt at political
apostasy, disgust at abandonment of principle", or indignation at any coalition, how-
ever disreputable, without the dunger of being brought before such a jury. He trusted
that by the exhibition of practical sympathy they should now make they would convert
the defeat of the Scotsman into a triumph, not only for that paper, but the liberty of

Twelve British Jurymen, whose duty it wa9 to pronounce on the guilt
or innocence of certain persons charged with murder, have concurred in
a verdict worshy of twelve jackasses capable of articulating. Twelve
ot her British Jurymen have exhibited an ignorance of the constitutional
law of libel only less disgraceful than that of the judge, wifh whose
advice their decision accorded. It is felt that this kind of thing must
not go on. Wrong and ruin will be inflicted right and left; innocent
persons will be hanged, and miscreants will be turned loose on society,
if British Juries continue to be generally devoid of common sense. A
bill is therefore in preparation, and will, if possible, be introduced at an
early period next session, necessitating every individual summoned to
seive on a British Jurv, to chop sticks and count hobnails after the
manner of the Lord Mayor, All those who . prove unable to perform
the said tasks, will be sent to an institution for persons of "defective
intellect."

amount to about £1,000; nearly £400 of which have been already collected."
This is the way to defeat the designs of twelve jurymen combining
to crush a newspaper, which, in contending for liberty, offends their
fanaticism, ridicules the cant wherein they delight, and exposes the
hypocrisy which they love.
