LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Gumutual., Ocr. 24. Before Lord Tgaramoax arid a Special Jury. /HZ KING V. TAYLOR, (IN CONTINUATION !PROM Tall STAR OT TESTBREAY). Mr. Taylor having finished his defence, • Lord TENTERDEN charged the Jury, and observed, this was an indictment, charging the defendant with the commission of a misdemeanour, in uttering certain blasphemous expressions of and concerning our blessed Savioun and the Holy Apostle Paul, with an intent to bring the Holy Scriptures and the Christian religion into contempt. The defendant was not called on to answer for his private opinions, nor was the right of private judgment called in question by this prosecution. So far from that being the Case, the fact was, that the discus sion of theological points and opinions, when tem perately and properly conducted, could not be consi dered a crime at law. Much had been said on the sub ject of heresy, and the defendant had addressed the Court at considerable length, in reference to the writ De heretieer contburendo. Now he was bound to tell the Jury, that all the arguments and observations founded on that proceeding, were totally irrelevant to the case; and further, that a prosecution for heresy, if instituted at the present day, could not be supported at common law. The charge against the defendant was for an attempt to bring.the Holy Scriptnres an.] the Christian religion into contempt. It was stated in the in ietm;bt, that on the day mentioned therein (the 6th of February), the defendant,in the presence and hearing of divers of his Majesty's subjects did unlawfully utter certain things of and concerning our blessed SAVIOUR and the Holy Apostle Paul, .and did then and there fronounce profane and blasphemous w.ads, calculated to bring the Christian religion into contempt. Ilis Lordship having cited the seteral passages alleged in the indictment to have been tittered by the defendant on the occasion in question, observed, it would be for the Jury to consider whether the evidence was such as to satisfy their minds that the defendant had made use of the expressions in question, and, intended to convey by them the meaning charged in the indictment If the defendant had uttered these expressions merely as propositions which he meant to expose and refute, he was not culpable iu the eye of the 14w. But, if on the contrary, they should be of opinion that he.put them forth with a view to obtain the approbation and assent of his hearers, then it was their duty to find him guilty of a crime at law. He (the Lord Chief Justice) should not discharge the duty imposed on him by the office with which he was invested, if he forbore to say that the Christian religion, being in sub stance a part of the established Constitution of the coun try. was entitled to the protection of the law as much as any of our civil institutions. He spoke not now of par ticular doctrines, which men might lawfully discuss, but of the general spirit and tenor of Christianity. A great deal had been addressed to the Jury on the sub ject of one or two particular Acts of Parliament, sup posed by the defendant to bear upon the case. Among other things it was said, that the statute of the 9th Wil liam the Third rendered blasphemy no longer an of fence against the common law, and the defendant ar gued that as that statute was repealed by the Act of the 63d of George the Third, neither was blas phemy any longer an offence against the statute law; so that, in fact, according to this hypothesis, to impugn the Christian religion was not now a crime against either tl:e common or statute law.— The Statute of William the Third, like many °diet Acts, was passed for the purpose of inflicting certain punishments on particular parties, and the tepeal of that law, by the enactment of George the Third, had the effect of reviving , the common law, and placing it exactly where it stood before the passing of the former Statute. No one could, for a moment, doubt that Christianity was protected by the law of the land. He would add, it had been handed down to them by their fathers, and constituted the best birthright of English men. His Lordship, after adverting to the nature of the evidence, and stating that the witness for the prose cution only professed to give some few sentences out al' a long and elaborate discourse, observed, that it the re., mainder of the defendant's address was such as showed that the particular expressions in question were hot used with a view to excite the approbation and concurrence of the audience, but, on the contrary, were uttered 'for the purpose of refutation and exposure, then the defendant was entitled to an acquittal. Still they should bear in abind that these words were ut:ered in the presence of many individuals,who had doubtless frequently attended and assisted at the defendant's discussions, arid any of them might have been brought forward to explaid the general tendency of the defendant's address, if it had been capable of receiving an explanation different from that put upon it in the indictment. Having read and com mented on the evidence, his Lordship put it to the Jury to say, whether or not the offence laid in the indictment had been committed? The defendant was not charged with attempting to refute or controvert any particular doctrine of the Christian religion, in relation to which individuals might reasonably differ. The charge was, that he had attacked the Christian religion generally, and declared the entire to be false. The Learned Judge observed, that he had already given his opiuioa with ••-. regard to the nature of tbetffence laid to the dant's charge. He would now repeat, that w endeaionred to bring Christianity Into contempt, addressed Men's minds on the subject, not seriously s soberly. but with sarcasm and protanentess, commit ., an offence against the law, and deserved to punishment of his crime. With these o.bervi left the case to the Jury, who would determin ing to the dictates 01 their conscience. and find such as the nature of the case called for, gnawed! and uninfluenced by any consideration whatsoever. The Jury retired, and, after half an hour's delibera tion, found the. defendant Guilty. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GUILDWALL, Ocr. 34. Beare Mr. JUltiCe Gaszuis and Special Juries. lILLIS b. SCHMKICK AND 71401/lAB. a tip Mr. D. Poot,ock opened the pleadings. This was an action to recorerthe value of certain goods sold and delivered to an aisociation, of which the two defend ants were shareholders. The plea was the general issue. Mr. Sergeant 'FADDY (with whom was also Mr. S , T. geant SPANK'S) stated the case to the jury. The plain. tiff was an upholsterer, carrying on business in the city, and had furnished the Cornwal and Devonshire Mining Company, in which the defendants would be punted to be shareholders, with a quantity of goods, to the amount of between 2001. and SOU for which he had ;sever ob. tained payment. This he conceived the defendants, as members of the Company, were liable ter; and he had ' accordingly brought his action against them. What the defence could be, the Learned Sergeant was utterly at a loss to say ; for if it was intended to be shown' that the Company was in itself a fraud, it could be of no benefit to the defendants, who were members of it, and must consequently be parties to ir. Witnesses were then called, who proved the delivety of the goods; and it was also shown that ehe defend ants became members of the company in April. 1825, and that one of them was present at a meeting of the , Directors, in August, 1826. • Mr. Sergeant WiLise (with whom was also Mr. Ser. geant MEICKWETHER and Mr. TOSSullsoN) appeared for the defendants. He rose with feelings of the strongest regret, to defend this case, for he felt that in so doing it would be his painful duty to make a development at such gross frauds as would almost reflect a disgrace on the country, and such as he trusted seldom occurred either its a civil or criminal court. He would show that the defendants had been iniu:e : l to become members of this company under the most. fraudulentaepresenta lions, and that this action was brought at the instigation of the• Ditectors, who alone had reaped any profit from the association. By the unfortunate sharehclJers nothing but heavy losses had been sustained, and those losses were now sought to be increased, by rendering them liable for the debts which had been contracted by the directors. The question for the Jury in the end would be, whether the defendants had pledged their individual responsibility to Eilis ? if they lied %et, he contended he could not rect•ver against them. Tke great originator of this bubble was a man whosettame mod memory would, perhaps, never be forgotten in the sity of London—he meant John Wilks. A meeting oi a few persons was held, and it 'being resolved that Wilks was in possession of some mines in Cornwall, it was determined to appoint persons to examine them, anJ if their report nese favourable, the Company wculd purchase .thern. The mines were examined by Captains Teague and Richards, who made a report, and on that' report the mines were purchased for a sum of 121,0001. Now the Learned Sergeant would prove, that these mines were not worth 1,0001. that Wilks never had the slightest claim on them, and that in fact they belonged to Captains Teague and Richards, the very persons whom Wilks had employed to examine chain. At another meeting, it was resolved, that no shareholder should appropriate to himself more than 200 shares, and that 2,700 shares should be left'open for the advantage of the Noblemen and Gentry of the counties iu which the mines were situated ; but as there was afterwards a probability of the shares rising to a premium, this resolution was set aside, and the Noble men and Gentry were forgotten, and the whole of the shares that were so much to benefit them were appro. prided to the use of the directors and Wilks. Finding, however, that the shares did not go off so quickly .as was desired, Wilks employed Messrs. Marchbanks and Co. respectable brokers, to purchase 1 000 of their own shares, at any premium, although at that very time, not one-third of the shares of the Company were disposed of; but this was done to put a fictitious value upon them, and to induce persons to become members. 'l't was after matters had been carried on to this length rhat the de. Pendants became shareholders, and the .Learned Ser geant contended, that if he sheaved they had been in duced to become members from the fraudulent rep-re sentations that had been made, they would be entitled to a verdict. He would call witnesses, who would prove that the report of the mines was published as having been made by Mr. Reynolds, the agent of Lord de Dunstanville, that Gentleman being well known as having great experience in mining affair,. His name was attached to the report, but, it would be shown, en tirely withont . his kno ledge or consent. The signature of his name was a forgery, and was only used to strengthen the fiction which Willis was so much irate rested' in keeping up. lndrpendently of this Gentle man's, there were also the names of many other respec• table and noble individuals, which had been used en•' titely without their sanction. It was by means suck! as these that the public were defrauded and dece i ved. All subscriptions were paid to Wilks; he received every thing. There was at one time a sum of 10,0001. in the bands of the bankers; Walks had a longing, and he succeeded in obtainirig a considerable part of it: The Learned Sergeant contended, that when he had proved these circumstanced, the plaintiff w ould not be entitled to recover ; for it would be evident that the de- fendants had only been induced to become partners by a series of representations most grossly fraudulent. No evidence had been given to prove that the defendants were individually responsible; and lie insisted tbat the Directors were the only persons from whom the debts ef the Company could be recovered. Mr. Sergeant 'FADDY objected to any evidence being gone into, except such as should prove that : the.plaiAtdf had individually been guilty oh fraud. Mr. Justice Gestate said, he would admit, but 'meld take a note of the objection. He did not think the evi dence would affect the verdict. Many w itnesset were then called, whoprowed • the facts as stated by the Learned Counsel. M:. Sergeant T.% our replied. Mr. Justice GASELES left it to the Jury to say whether the defendants were induced to become members by fraud? if so, the plaintiff could not recover. The Rues- Lion of law.whetber the tread would avoid the contract would be lesetvad for the consideration of the Court above. _ The Jury, after lame deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 2341. and stated that they were of opinion that the company originAted in fraud and de. ception, but that neither the plaintiff or defendants war patties to it. containing The wit count!; had bt( .....eigimedliestillipalleilfdatit.part of the islander - tractors before the Lord ,Mayor. The Logo Maros asked whether the articles were concealed, or whether they were exposed to view. The officer said, that there was no appearance of conceahnent. • Mr. Isaacs, the solicitor for the prisonir, asked Macre this church in the country was? The officer did not ash& it necessary to reply to the quersion. He bad received information that a robbery had taken place in-tie country, and he suspected that the velvet exhibited was part of the hangings or the cushion coverings. Mr. Isaacs submitted to the Lord litayw that this statesneat of the officer was not sufficier.t to authorize the detention of .thogel... goner, who would be forthcoming if called upon. The goods EWA of course be detained as long as his Lordship thought proper. The Loan Maroc said that he could Dot think of letting tinged wiser go at large after such a statement as bad been made. Mr. Isaacs asked whether bail would be taken foe the prisoriesos appearance? fhe Loan MAYOR replied, that he could not feel justified im accepting bail. lie bad a high duty to perform to the public.

It was in the power of the prisonero too, to prove his innocence of any offence, if he were permitted...- This appeared to be rather hard. He trusted that the fiord Mayor would treat the prisoner as kindly as was consistent with his Lord ship's duty. The Lotto Miro' observed, that he treated every prisoner - as kindly as was thosistent with Isis duty, but he certainty should send the present prisoner to Ilse Comptes - , tor re-examination.

Our Readers will rememb4r, that in our report of the examina tion of Mary Bel, alias Grua, in Tuesday's Paper, on suspicion of having robbed her master, Admicalhir 'Blab Harvey, of a Trafal gar medal, a stir of the order of the Bath, an Admirgra full dress uniforms ' and other property, we stated that the accused was re mandedfor further eamninatiou. This was the fact hut her friends, who, we understariel,are respectitk, thought fist cise4inst her so alight, that they were induced to apply to Mr. Muumuu. on Tuesday to admit her to bail. The worthy Magistrate, after some . crassitleration, said he monk' take good bail, and he was the more inclined to do so from a communication... bleb had reached him from „.- Adraind Harm., who, it appeared, bad discovered, on reaching home aftei the examination on MOnday, that his full dress coital's bad not been stolen, but was safe in the house. The Admiral stated in his note that before the examination he bad been informed by ifs valet th at the uniform was missing, and that it was which Ld bins to state so before the Magistrate,. - In the course of the day two respectable persons presented them selves as the sureties for the prisoner ' and she was admitted to bad ; and yesterday,_ at the appointed hoar, abe attended to undergo a further exannuation. Mr. Harmer attended for the accused, and on bis being intro duccelto Sir E, Harvey by hlr. kliushuU, the gallant Alfreiral said, ” Ob, Mr. Harmer, I have heard of you often before.

Sir R. lime.iaid, a I believe, Sir Eliabs that not a single and cle which was stolen has been found." Sir E. Harvey—No ; but I shall indict the prisoner for stealing the medal. The Star of the Order of the Bath could not he iden tified ; but then there is the Trafalgar medal, and one or two other. , •things, which couldnot be nsistakem There cannot possibly be a second of the medal. _ _ Sir R. Siena—How so? Sir E. Hervey—Why because the medal bears the name of the Officer co whom it was given, and of the ship svhicb he commanded. Nu other medal would beer the name of the Ternersire. Sir B.

The defendant again attempted to speak, when Admiral Harvey said, " Don't speak to me, woman—don't address' me ; lam 'not - trying you—l ant accusing you." Sir It. you give me leave to far, Admiral, that I think it would have been quite as correct If you had brought the footman, of whom you have spoken, here, instead of examining him at home. I would not presume to say I could ataucenvte a squa dron or fight the Temtraire with you ; but I will do ourselves the justice to say, that I think we attorkl be at least on equal terms in examinMgaprisoner or a witness.
