Having performed this duty, a duty due not less to the Bishops than to the public, we have further to observe, that a man was tried in Ireland, no great while ago, on the charge of having threatened this Bishop to accuse him of such a crime; and, our readers will hear it with shudderings of horror, this man was _condemned to death_, and, of course, upon the oath of this Bishop! We believe the man was respited and transported. Upon this we shall make no further observations for the present. Our readers will need no observations from us, indeed, to convince them how well things like this are calculated to excite the envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the world. To return to the article in the _Observer_, we are somewhat surprised, if it be true, that Mr. Dyer should have “_found himself obliged_,” and so quickly, too, and without any remanding, to let the prisoner loose upon bail; and the public will not fail to observe, and to reflect a little upon the amount of this bail of a thousand pounds, _in such a case_, and relating to such a party. The public will recollect the bail, the sureties to which Mr. Carlile is sentenced, and compare that case with this. A thousand pounds, not, probably, a tenth part of one year’s produce of his Bishopric. The _Observer_ may be in error about this. The fact has not been officially announced. If all the other facts stated by the _Observer_ be true, what is the sum of a thousand pounds! How is that to hold such a person to stand trial! What _sureties_ are there in a thousand pounds in such a case! Whether he ever take his trial or not; the thing will take its trial before the English people; and on that trial the thing is now put. The _Observer_ tell us, that the _soldier_ was not so fortunate. _He could not get bail_! and was COMMITTED TO TAKE HIS TRIAL! Well said, THING! it was very hard that those who bailed the Bishop would not bail the soldier. The Bishop himself might have been bail for him. His Bishopric of Clogher was sufficient surety for a whole battalion. Very hard, indeed, that he was not to be bailed too! But there will be time enough to talk about this. The main thing is for us to keep a sharp look out, and see how the THING; to see how the “education of the country;” how the envy of the surrounding nations and admiration of the world will work this matter! In the mean while, let us look at the conduct of the respectable and infamous part of the press of this day, just looking back in one instance to yesterday.
