THE TELEGRAPIT AND MESSENGER. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 2*. 1884 cannibalism in court. Ths C«»e of the Mignonette Crew Before on English Tribunal, Loudon Standard. At the Exeter Assizes yesterday Mr. ItujrpQ Huddleston, in charging the grand jury, alluded at considerable length to the chcutittj'unce i and the Jaw bearing on the chu ■ge ago Captain Thomas Dudley i, tin id mi used of U»e yae/it Mignonette, wh< of the luurder ol a boy named Parker, on the high eeas. The judge said the Mignon ette, a yacht of nineteen tons, was hi ing sent cut to Australia, and the prisoner Dudley, a man of exemplary charaoler, great experience and courage, applied for and obtained the place of master on board of her. bhe failed from Huutharupton for Sidney on the lOihof May, the crew consist ing of Dudley, Stephens, Brooks, an able- bodied t-eaman and Parker, a boy about t-YHiteen or eighteen. They touched at " * ' , crossed the equator, where they ered expedient.

The captain endeavored to obtain from the cabin some means of aa«- tenauce to put on board the boat, which was lowered, but the Mignonette went down before he was able to obtain more than two one-p jund tins of turnips. The three mtn and the boy were left In the boat Without anything to drink and nothing to eat, except the two tins ol turnips. On the fourth day they managed, to catch a fern all turtle, upon which thev subsisted for a few days, and this was the only food they bad up to the twentieth da?, when the occurrence took place out of which this charge arose. A SACXiriCX PROPOSED. By the eleventh or twelfth day the tur tle was entirely consumed, and for the next eight days they had nothing to eat They bad no freah water, and from time to lime only succeed ed^ In catching some few drops of rain in their oilskin coats. On the eighteenth day, having been seven days without food and live without water, the three men discussed the question what was to be dobe if no succor came, and con sidered whether one would not have to be sacrificed for the purpose of affording food lor the rest. The captain suggested that this should be decided by the drawing of loti, but it not agreed to. Indeed, Brooks teem'd lohave sternly tinn ed from it The boy Parker, who was nil then ill. did not seem to have been, consulted. Capt Dudley, in one of his many statements, all of which agreed, ssld that on the day before they killed the boy, he proposed to Stephens and Brooks that they should cast lots who bhould die for the maintenance of the others, but they would not agree to it. Brooks refused, saying that he did not wish to kill anybody and he did not wish auyb< dy to kill him. Dudley and Stephens talked over the number of their families, and Dudley suggested that it would be better that they* should kill the boy Parker, iu order that their lives might be saved. Dudley further said: “If there is no vessel iu sight by to-morrow morn ing, 1 tuiuk we had l etter kill the lad.' THE DEIHIIS RESORT. No vessel appearing on the following morning, I made signs to Stephens and-to Brooks that we bad bettei do it, but they seemed to have no heart to do it, so I went to the boy, who was lying at the bottom of the boat wi h bis arms over bis face. I took out my kDife, first offering a prayer to God to forgive us for what we were about to do. and fot the rash act. that our eou’a must be saved, and I said to the boy, 4 Richard, your time has come.' The boy said, ‘What, me, sir?’ I said, ‘Yea, my boy.’ I then put my knife in there (pointing to the side of his neck opposite to the side over which he had his arm).” The captain, in his statement, went into details of the oanuibad-iu of the three men. This state ment ituwto by Dud ey was not substan tially varied in any of his other statements, nor was it co traaicted by the deposition of Stephens, or the evidence of Brooks, who would be called as a witness. Brooks clearly took no part in the death of the boy, Dudley,Stephens and Brooks fed upon the body lor the next few days; on the twenty- fourth day they weie picked up by a Ger man baric, tbe Montexma. in a fearful state of prostration, and ultimately brought to JTalmoutb. LEGAL HOMICIDE. The Judge continued: “It seems clear that the taking away of the boy’s life was carefully considered and amounted to a case of deliberate homicide. I must now tell you what I consider to be the law as applicable to this case. It is a matter that has undergone considerable discus sion, and it Is said that it comes within a class of cases where the killing of another ts excusable on the ground of necessity. I can find no authority for that proposition In the recognized treatises on the criminal law. and I know of no ouch (aw fn the law of England. Baron Puffeudorf. in hi< 'Law of Nature and Nations,’ mention^ a case where seven Englishmen tossed on the ocean without meat or drink, kilted one of tbelr number on whom the lot fell, and who had (as he says) the cour age not to be dissatisfied assuaging in some measure with his body their intolera ble and almost famished,condition, whom, when they at last came to shore, tbo fudges absolved of the crimn of murder. Although he saya tbe sailors were English sa lors, be does not say where tbe case was tried, or of what nation were the judges. “Sclgler upon Grotius.’’ giving his rela tion, Is of oploion that the men were all guihy of a great sin, for conspiring against tbe life of one of the company, and (if it should happen) every one against his own. I can tind no trustworthy report of this case, and, for reasons which I shall refer to presently. I cannot consider It an authority binding on me. There is an American case, “Commonwealth vs. Holmes,” reported in 1 Wall, Jr., in which sailors threw passengers overboard to tighten a boat, and it was held that the sailors ought to have been thrown over board first, unless they were required to work the boat; and that at all events the particular pera; ns to be sacrificed ought to havo been decided by ballot, by which, f suppose, they m»un hv ■ istin irebension. «*,i by Blackstone poitted for tho pre vention of any forcible and atrocious * ixi tbe discharge try, and in the service of ttfelr queen, kill any of the ene mies of their queen and country; and lastly where an individual acting in toe reasonable apprehension of receiving In- jury to blmfclf cures tlie ile.th of an other.

Frequently, when they finally go off, they hurt somebody. The r’ght to speedy justice is frequently is equally a right ot the defendant's, and equally to his interest that a case should bo disposed of within less time than a quarter of s century. A case came within my knowledge this week where a debt con tracted in 1805, and ou which suit was brought, never f.ot Into judgment until this year. The parties liable were mostly dead and tbe remainder supposed the case abandoned. And now tbe rusty gun has exploded In a levy upon their property.

But Sir William Blackstone, In another part of the chapter, points out that under no circumstances can an in nocent man be slain for tbe purpose of saving the life of another who is not his assailant, and he says: “Therefore, t.iocgh a man be v!o rally assaulted, and hath uo other possible means of escaping death but by killing an innocent person, this fear and force should not acquit of murder, for he ought rather to die hi inself than to escape by tbe murder of an Inno cent. Butinaucha case he ia permitted to kill the assailant, for there the lawol nature and pelf-defense (its primary canon) bath made him his own pro tector.” Bishop, a high American author- TIIK CASTING OF LOTS. I can not subscribe to the authority of this case; besides it would be inapplicable to the present, because here the notion of deciding by lots was neglected. The learn ed American Judge, in giving his reasons, said the selection should be hy lots, as ft would bo an appeal to Providence to stltutlonof the country, aa a great lawyer ohoose the victim. Such a reason would points out, is vested the power of pardoning seem almost to verge upon the blasphe mous. I can not but consider that the taking of human life by appealing to the doctrine of chance would really seem chance — - increase the deliberation with which the act had been com mitted. That American case, box- evcr t was a charge not of mur der, \>ut of manslaughter, on the ground of the failure on the part of the prisoners to discharge the statutory duty of preserv ing the life of a passenger. The question has been considered by the criminal codo bill commissioners—a very high authority —in their report, in ‘which, discussing thu doctrine, they say: “Casuists lave for centuries amused themselves, ana' may amuse themselves for centuries to come, by speculation as to tho moral duty of two persons* m the water struggling for the po*8Q$e:on of a plank capable supporting of only ope.

KKCK3HITY AS JUSTIFICATION. c « rtalnl 7 are prepared to sug gest that necessity should in every case be a justification. We arc e jually unprepared to suggest that necessity should, m no case, be a defense. We judge it better to leave such questions to bo dealt with when, tl ever, they arise in prac-i e, by applying toe principles of law to the circumstances of the particular case.'’ My brothe r, 8te- phen, in bis “History of the Criminal that this doctrine is one of «j«w, ’ observe* mai mis d too cariosities of the law is aware, is a subject on which The"law OX Rngland is so vague that if casts raising the question should ever recur, the pages should practically be able to lay * WI * tuI® which they consiu- ity, supports this view, and it is the more important as he refers to the American case to which I have before alluded. It is impossible to say that the act of Dudley and Stephens was an act of self-defense. Parker at the bottom of the boat was not, endangering their lives by any actrof his. Tbe boat could hold them all, and the mo tive for killing him was not for the purpose of lightening the boat, but for the purpose of eating him, which they could do when dead, but rot while living. What really imperiled thel£ lives was not the presence of Parker, but the absence of food and drink. THE VICTIM’S BlOIir, It could not be doubted for a moment that if Parker was possessed of a weapon of defense, say a revolver, ho would have been perfectly justified in taking the life of ihe captain, who was on the point of killing him, which shows clearly that the act of the captain was unjust!- fi -tble. It may be said that the selection of tbe boy, as indeed Dudley seems to have said, was better because his stake in society, having no children at all, was less than theirs ; but if auch reasoning i* to be allowed for a moment, then, according to Cicero’s test, that under such circum stances of emergency tho man who is to be sacrificed is to be the man who would be the least likely to do benefit to tbe repub lic, Parker, as~n young man, might be likely to live longer and be of more ser vice to tbe republic than the others. 8uch reasoning must be always more ingenius than correct. Nor can it be urged for a moment that the state of Parker’s health, who is alleged to have been failing in consequence of bis drinking sea water, would justify it. No person is permitted, according to the lit of this country, to accelerate tbe death Of another. Besides, if once this doctiine of necessity is to be admitted, why was Par ker selected rather than ihe other three. One would have imagined that tbo state of bis health and the misery in which he was at the time would have obtained for him more consideration at their bands. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. However, it is idle to lose one’s selffn speculations of this description. I am bound to tell you that if you are satlsfi- d that the boy's death was caused or accel erated by tbe act of Dudley, or by Dudley and Stephens, this is a case of deliberate homicide, neither justifiable nor excusable. and lawyers oa both aides (except one giay-balred man) had died at the time it was stricken from the docket. I have also heard a Georgia judge announce his decis ion iu a case to a lawyer who at the time bad forgotten what side he was on. These things are not frequent, but if something was not rotten in our legal Denmark, they would be impossible. A judges’ association has been formed in Missouri. It teems there Is a law in that State, similar to one in Georgia, requiring the judges to report to the Legislature defects observed by them In tbe laws. In order to give greater weight to their suggestions the judges have arranged for an annual convocation in which to consider and agree upon these recommendations. Would not such a meeting be productive of good in GeorgiaT It might be held at toe same time as the meeting of the Stato Bar Association, of which most of the judges are members. The judges of this State have not ex* haustedtne power gtren them by law for promulgating rales of practice. The Eng lish method of law reform ia to enact gen eral statutes and leave the details of prac tice to be regulated by rules ot the court This is better, everyway, than to put them into legislation. The rules are more elas tic, are adopted by tbe judges, who understand the subject better than a miscellaneous body of men, and with fre quent meetiugs. could be more easily changed, if ebauge was desired. wanwd-a sueexasox. Some years ago there was organized in Macon a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Mr. Abner P. Whit tle, whore noble heart embraced in its sympathies tbe brute creation, took the headship of it, and in several instances caused prosecutions to be instituted for the violation of our humane statute* against cruelty. Since his death, the so ciety seems to have been without organi zation. Some kind-hearted gentleman could no! more fittingly honor the memory of that rare character which perished in Abner Whittle, or more properly under take an importaut work of benevolence than to bestow an active interest upon this matter. It must be somebody’s business, as distinguished from everybody’s busi ness. to take hold of the Jrequent cases of cruelty to the poor beasts who serve man. The mere existence of an active society would deter many instances of such cruel ty. They are not uncommon now iu our city.

No good Democrat can contemplate the attitude of the 8outh in the politics of the past twenty-four years without a feel ing of enthusiastic gratitude. Beyond all its conflicting personal aud industrial in terests the South has united in cherishing. tlDgoliired himwlf by rtscalnvpautngvri congldergtlona.

Wiim Mr. Fawcett, the late postmaster* general of England, returned two years ago irom the door of death, he remarked that, whatever else his illness had done for him, it had at least freed him from the fear of death. L*ke many men of robust phy sique, Mr. Fawcett at one time entertained a dread that death would be preceded by a fierce convulsion—a veritable death agony. During hia former illness, as he lay for days in the last stage of prostration awaiting death. In* felt entirely free from any phys ical fear. The heart would simply cease to beat as a watch that has ruu out ceases to tick, and all would be over. Dea’h would be no wrench, but simply the cessation of life. 8u>'h. at least, was the conviction which Mr. Fawcett brought back with him from the shadowy confines of the grave. —Lord Bramwell’fl bill on the law of Evidence, which is short y to be introduced in the British Parliament, enables anyone who is charged with an offens * to be a “competent witness” on every h< sring at tVACCta auwutu uuj uimtu in v uotuujj, as the pearl above price.tho domination of Democratic principles. To this end all minor ambitions bare been subordinated: and withont ihe unquenchable and united loyalty of the South, the succeas of the Democratic party would at any time before tho 4th of last November have beta beyond “t* pale of probability. Recognizing its obligations to the South’ ern Democracy, the Incoming administra tion must inevitably call to Its assistance the intellect and character of the South iu moulding tho policy and outlining the alms of the Democratic party of the fu rare. At least two members of President Cleveland’s cabinet will come from the South, if the commonest considerations of justice and fitness enter into its composi tion. Virginia and Louisiana havo al ready suggested their claims, aud it Is unquestionable that whatam Southern States may be represented, plenty of good men can be found who will honor any of* flee by its acceptance. We know that many conservative Dem ocrats in tbe North, and all of tho Inde pendent Republicans, will contend that such hearty lycognitlon of Southern claims u injudicious aud eluistar. But honor and nrincipla are above mere conciliatory fidelity of the South has been (he nucleus of the Democracy of the Union, and aa it has b.*cn steadfast through defeat it is temperate iu triumph. Shall its rights and privileges now be denied, and its re wards postponed, thrpugh any timorous or seemingly politic reflections? But we urge tho full representation of the tioath in tbe cabinet, not from reasons of justice more than mere considerations of expediency. Tola election has placed the Demo racy ag*in in power, but North ern Democrats will show their failure to fully realize the sigulficence of the fact If tho influence of the South Is in anyway curtailed or bolittied. Since Democracy! ia best for the whole people, It must be maintained as well as re-established. Now, the cardinal principle of Demoo racy is the rule of the majority— and the South represent* the major ity of tho Democratic party. Through the disasters of the past its solid support has been retained through the confidence that success would give it a justly propor tionate infl lenco. if the Democratic lead- rs betray this trust; if the douth is flout- d and ignored at the will of the lndepend- nta, four years will limit the scope of the owerof tin Democratic party. But, after all, this vindication of its laims ii unnecessary. The South will ave, hi it ought, an equitable and duly proportion ate influence in ihe next admin istration, and the result will confound the lemagogue alarmists of the Reupbli a-, party.
