in.nta t instances of the revolting
barbarity which has been practised in (hie
country under the maxim, that 'Malice
supplied the defect of age,' but the above
aro sufficient to show what might be ex.
peetei'. A country in which such a deed
could be perpetrated as the dragging of a
young girl to the gallows by six men,
without amending its •iclous vitiating prac-
tice, is capable of any atrocity.
We can believe that the young fellons
enumerated above, possessed that mischiev-
ous discretion which is nee ..e.ry to satis-
fy the law and the judge, but that any one
of them had that knowledge of the await.ty of murder and arson, which only citify a
rational man that they were on a level with
adult murderers and incendiaries We may
well doubt. Had the law been devised by
Waco himself, it could not be more pro•
foesdly regardless of just distinctions in re-
gard to persons.
We have no doubt that all the cases
mentiooed by Judge Blackstone were cases
of insanity -a disease which our judges, of
