A Singular Charge to a Jury.

Probably the most curious charge ever made by a Judge, to a jury was delivered in St. Louis during the anti-slavery excitement forty years ago. A mulatto, who had hilled a policeman, was taken out’of jail at night by a ifibb, tied to a tree ahd roasted to death.' It became the duty of Judge Lawless to bring the matter before the Grand!.Jui^y,' Altou (III,) : Telegraph relates that he did So in the language: : If v .the destruction of'the murderer' of HadihMnd was thd ket of' the many—of the multitude in the ordinary sense of those faords—not the act of numerable and iftsoertkinable malefactors, fr&fcrifi congregate thousands, seized upon and impelled by that mysterious, metaphysical and almost electrical- frenzy, which, jn till dges ahd nations, has hurried the infuriated multitude to deeds Of death 1 and I sty, act not at all in this matter; the case then trans-. cends yonr jurisdiction—it is beyond the reach of human Idw.”
