If a citizen de nounced another in vife terms, and that other killed the insulter, men said that he Was right. The public for- got all gbottt the definition of murder and 6ften, very often, especially when the parties were prominent,_the dead man was in fact 'tried for the provo cation he had given rather than the slayer for murder. Thus demoralisa tion spread, and in the public mind grew up notions about homicide ut terly foreign tcihe'law. ’The law it self in hundreds of-^trials ^ame to be looked'upon as a meaningless form. CH course when the prominent man slayers were acquitted the habit of acquitting spread. llien the pardoning habit grew. Governors forgot the theory of the law that the pardoning power is^ es tablished to correct in extraordinary eases the law’s rigidity. The gover nors soon began to act as courts of. re view, they re-tried cases; they arrived at conclusions jmd flattered them selves that they were superior to ju ries in weighing evidence. Betides they liked to obli^ their friends; their friends were often lawyers; most of governors were lawyers. In this state the people, strangely, have long surrendered most' of gov ernment a few hundred lawyers.
