I you to recollect that the law ,.4 S.tt Carolin-I is nlow w11 ht it always has been 1t:nmely, that the n0gro shall be protected from viole-eu' olfered against his person. It.

Let. us mete otu. jist ice 1o theso people as we havd always dolo. Let uisnot he unduly prejudiced ' or or again; them. In t he present in tLance, jio. iii view tie cao according 1,,) th1 facts Ithat have Ieen dotailed-, and ithe law as it shall be anno.11e1 .Thre c:n-be no-don 1'11ntth . io -negro, I. ....lnris ali s John Dawkin . It is very probable tht t.his man Counts was one of a party Wh coni mitted tie nok brtaiid and atrocious murder of an inllainlti.ve man b y til.h natme of Ii ntitel Snie, in Nowborry, anw robbed him of, nlargo amoiint of gold and -silver.. I. have no dollbt th prisoners knCOv tiht I his cri htl'4 been conmiuted, They heard accident lv, throigh a little yellow bay that thte dVeas(ed was in thiit io1d . tier the A;i him ; that Iho thad nskvd the boy to show him and 1in3 companizulion, th1 way to . I tie Cthirlotte Depot, and had given iI1:1 a quart..r of a dollar ; and immeditetv woit to Stari g an Pope, itid gai them ntice of thi Oectit reifei.. These t ivo mi-n foir a perfectly legal pur posw, prepared for the arrest of th1 ie gro. The only d'llity inl the , gentile. meni, is wh'ether they had itnly rilit, to nrret this negro in .the way they did. TPhat they had a rigil to arrest. -11', I have n1OCJout. TWey had evo4freason to believo that. he. wts oe a party, .if' iit thl iden ical .". nt tui robbed Od*lal )ll,'-f ill New-' ni'ned. and came upon berrv.ri kil deim. Tl o qiteston is, whether tiWtWSwasa exctsuble homi. I tcink that- the law was properly, stat eatyyan, wheni i yn were itiformed . that a.,ftlcar armed with a ivarrInt ior the /rest. of a persdsaacensed of' felody, has /no right to take tho life of tho accised, unless there ibr aich resist.ance to- hisan -thority, tliat the act -becomes absolutely ni/tecessary. Ut e-very,'citize'n htas a right, wthere a felony has been 'conimted to' arrest the felon: Trhe only 'ditfet uch b etwe'n hinm and ttbo offlieer is tnis that if hie-anpts1.0 artesd a party acesed1 neenlsid wvith' fe'lmy, not.ibe'ingo airmed autthority, whnet evee tie does is at his ow peril,- If it be. provialthus the persont arrested is ho felon, thten is t ho citizen guilty of a - breachI of Iteo peace, and it in tihe proess of .theo arrest 3h the aconsed bo kIlled, tito citizen bet comnes guilty of miurdei . If' on the otiv or hanud, it, should-appe[nr that the piarty to be ar-rested. was himself' a murderer' and( was killed ini the -act oIf.arrest, thenm the qutestioni cometis up, what- degrco of guilt shall attiach Lo the citizen. The Lawi has been tread by the~ learned conus~el, who, had so ably andi cJoitly deifentid othiese unfortunato men. Youj will perceive that in otne of the authioritics upe onwhtich great relinnco is placed, it is ata tcd that privalo persons may arrest. In tho lanugiago thee used, "n indict met found,is good cant of' ari-est, bf private person:!, if it may bo mnade with. iom, thle dleath of' the fa loni" bii , is said that if rte f't hnn be killed, their 'astifia.. (ion must deuprnd upon the fatdt of' the parties guilt, wich it, wiill be'utirn bent utpon I them to imaike ont ; othey wiso, they will be guilty of manshingifter, It will be veisy danigerous, gentlemon of theajnry, to allow eve-ry nt, who hearp thant felony hias.been comtnt ed, tojndke whether there is a nOcV. .ty for himt'.tif arrest tht suppiosd elon, or to take Is life,. If' thils wero allowe'd, itere wvotid a great unmber of casos ofntiurder which conld not he reached..att'all, S 'uch e privilego might hte mtdi~ an egense (br a crime uinparalled in civilizoi aoicity, v lien an ofilcer of the lawv is sent.(orthIi to arrest a felon who has .shocked: it mahity by the cnormity of his oflbh00, he is compelled, by the law, to. be cau lions how lie takes human lif'er le la not ;mtthorized to do so eI~ipy becantsa the felon flees. Buit, .whenf private oiti zeni undertake to arrest an accused par ty, although theo motuyes may -be hoper' -fectly pratsewortlhy and is to boe'ncoura ~ed, they must be ext rentely cautions a. 0 how they shed hmnan blood, becanso they tako upori t1m111'1ilves a very Ilighl respoisibiliy. They taki'eill the risks 61nd all the consequeicils. Now, I have no dobiiht that tho pris. oners at the bar, acted 'viih perfect con. ecient).iotstiess iin this imat t er. I ida not think tiey pmrsmed that.nugro with tho hkople of' reward. Thev were siiply In formed, that a horrible mrd',r h-id been perpert rated, aind a wholo fmi: imly'throwni into distress;.and under the generois impihe of youth, they weit forward to arrest, the imrderer. It is for you to say, whiether0r they exercised 'in'that nr rest, a degree o violonce Which was not, iaranted iby the law. It is for you to 'iay, by- your verdiot, whether tIese yo;ulg mIIe, in attempting to mak1(e tlis arrest-, were antihoriied to jilelge, vje't-. or theys-hould take life, in order to top the muanl who was ruInning. I do not find fault with the 1..arned eCaunsel, who, so forcibly aild hl(illntly has urged thiit a jury have the r g'it to judgo of the law and tih fict. I thinI it, likely ihat, the old barons of 1n'gh'it n, intended inl their Magyna Charta, t ia .the jlury- . t.. peers of ai mii should possess Ith(e right. to j 'lilae of 11111 ha w .and the evidence I and that, when' they wvrciett that charter froiti the tyranI nOus King, they iitvested i jury. with Ibis pri vihge. 13t., this is 10o1 th i quest ion.
