The case is one of considerable interest. Hayes was a private night watchman ; and while in the performance of his duty, on the evening of the 28th day of December last, he was shot with a pistol ball. the pistol was heard by several persons, and Hayes, at his own request, was immediately afterward taken on board a street car, which conveyed him to Fulton ferry, and thence to the City Hospital, where he expired the same evening, and very soon after his arrival.

Another case, that of Tuomas Jon, in- dicted for the murder of his wife, occurred one year later, in 1790, in which the question of the admissibility of dying declarations was submitted to the Judges of England ; and they held that “if # dying person either declare that ho knows his danger, or tt is reasonably to be inferred from the wound on state of iliness that he was sensible of his danger, the declarationa are good evidence.” In the case of The King ve. Morley, tried in England in 1825, the declgrations of the deceased, made to his nurse after he received the mortal blow, were held by the Judges, unanimously, to be admissible, although he survived his injuries eleven days, and the surgeon in attendance swore that he always held out hopes of recovery to his patient, and that the deceased never expressed any ap- prehensions of dying to him In the case of The King va. Hoveils and Shipley, tried in 1844, the deceased exelaim- ed, after being shot: “Iam dying; send tor a doctor.” The declarations were admitted, although it was proved that the deceased was a Catholic, and that he declined to send for a priest; and a Catholic priest test fied: “Tf a Roman Cataolic wishes to make his peace with God, he usually sends for a pricst to receive extreme unction. * * Except he be dend to all sense of religion, a person thinking himself on the point of death would send for a priest.” In this case it was argued that the wounded man could not have ex- pected to die, or he would have sent for a priest ; but, as we have seen, the Court ad- mitted the evidence, ‘There is an extreme ruling by Mr. Justice Byves, in a case in England (Regina oe. Jenkins), in 1869, in which he held: “In order (o make a dying declaration admissible, there nzust be an expectation of impending and almost immediate death from the causes then operating.” We call this an, extreme ruling, because Hope springs eternal in the human bres and a wounded person may expect to die, and yet hot be wholly without hope of recovery. It would, perhaps, be difficult to say in any case that @ person was entirely without hope: it isso natural, even under the most impending and threatening danger, to hope. Again, it is extreme, for it overrules the former doctrine of the King’s Bench, in which it has been held that it is not neces- sary that the party should be apprehensive of immediate dissolution, However, in Penny's case, there was no evidence to show that the apprehensions of dying expressed by Hayes were not of im- mediate and certain death ; and the cireum- stances indicated that they were. We think the ruling of Judge Barnanp, admitting the testimony, was clearly right. Th no Judge on the bench more seru pulously careful in criminal trinls, to pro: tect all the rights of the accused than Judge J.P. Barsanp, At the same time he ad- ministers the law soundly, courageously, learnedly, without fear and without favor. ‘The community have come to look upon him as one of their reliable guardians; and to lean upon his strong arm, in his high judi. cial position, for the protection of their persons and their property, ‘he same remarks may Le made of his distinguished brother, the Hon, Gronce @. Bannanp. There is not an abler magistrate in the administra. tion of criminal law in the United States, as was espeeinily illustrated by his course on his tral of Joux Rean; and the criminal law, its intelligent, pure, and fearless ad ministration, are of vite! necessity to the hie sence of civilized society, As illu trative of Ju oft ige J.
