ENGLISHMEN, LOOK AT THIS! At the Quarter Sessions held at Maitland, on Tuesday last, Mr. Job Hudson, a person of considerable property, was tried and found guilty of an assault on Mr. Hewson an innkeeper at Newcastle under very aggravated circumstances; he was sentenced to two years imprisonment in the gaol of Sydney, one week in event month in solitary confinement- Could human cruelty have devised one more severe ? That the assault was one the most wanton, cruel, and outrageous, no one of will attempt to deny. Notwithstanding all this, the sentence is monstrously severe. We are personally acquainted with Mr. Hewson, and from his known goodness of heart, and exceeding humanity, venture to affirm that had he at all anticipated the severity of this poor man s sentence, he would never have carried the prosecution thus far, or made himself a party to it, but have let the matter drop in its earliest infancy. When we come to compare the crime of felony or embezzlement with a misdemeanour, and that misdemeanour only an assault, and find the self-same punishment inflicted in both cases, we can only say, that there appears something in it most appalling to the feelings of a true-born Englishman. In England such a proceeding would never have been contemplated, but looked upon with horror and indignation.
