Drfore Mr. Jaylice Milroy: and a Common Jury. LIBEL UPON II ER. LATE M AJ RP.% V. BLACOW, CLERK. Previously to the opening of the piddle doors every part of the Court, where any accosts tttttt lotion for sifting, or even lor coin:Mem skinflint: and hearing could be found, was al ready occupied. The Rev. defendant was among the first who look isis seat immediately below the crier, and directly opposite to the Jury. IVlsen the doors were opened the lash was tremendous, and in an instant every inch of standing room in the Court (the most spacious in the kingdom) was occupied. At nine o'clock Mr. Jrstire llolroyd took his E. at. and the Jury was sworn. Mr. Tindall stated the pleadings. It ass an indictment against the Rev. Richard Blacow, fur a scandalous and ma. hciuus libel against the late Queen. The first count charged that he had r om posetl and preached the words charged as helloes; the second count charged, that he had composed and published the words in a pamphlet, entitled the sub. stance id a discesuse, fitc. ; the third count charged, that be had composed and published the words set forth in the ;atheistical. The defend; at pleaded Not Guilty, upon which issue was joined. Mr. Itroughain.—May it please your Lordship, gentlemen of the Jury,—lt is my manful duty to lay before you the parsieuturs of this cos and it is yours to try it ; and my part shall he performed in a very short time indeed. fur I have little, if any thing, more to do, than merely to read—a hat I will not characterise by words of my own, but what I will leave to you, and may leave to eves/ won whose mind is not pea serted, to las a proper description. I read to you what the defendant composed and printed. You have heard from my learned friend, and if you have any doubt it will soon be removed,—to whom the following passages applies. Of the Queen it is that the p: ssage is written sod printed. " The term, cowardly,' which they have laid to my charge, I think you will do me the justice to soy, does not belong to me ; that feeling was never an inmate of' my bosom; neither when the jaenbins rangeti arou .1 us * at all their fury, nor in the present day of militia uproar and delusion. The latter indeed have one feature about them even more hideous and diasusting than the jacohins themselves. They fell down : id worshipped the Goddess of Remo's, a most respectable and decent sort of being." And you know, gentlemen, that she was a cotnmon pros titute taken from the stews of Paris. " A most respectable and decent sort of being, compared with that which the radicals have set up ns the idol of (twit worship. Tito , have elevated the Goddess of Last nn the pedestal of shame, an object of a" others the most congenial to their taste, the most den ring of their holmium, the mint worthy of their adoration. After eshibiting her claims to their favour in two distinct quarters of the globe, after coma passing sea and land with her guilty paramour to gratify to the full her impure desires, and even polluting the holy sepulcre itself with her presence, to which she was carried in mock majesty astride upon r s ass, she returned to this hallowed soil so hardened in sin, so bronzed with infamy, so callous to every feeling of decency or of shame, as to go on Sunday last"— Here, Gentlemen, the reverend preacher alluded, not to the public procession to St. Paul's to return thanks, or to other processions which might, partly at least, be consi dered as political, but to her late Majesty's humble, unaf fected, pious devotion in the church of Hammersmith, —" to go on Sunday last, clothed in the mantle of &fini te' y, to kneel down at the altar of that God who is ' of purer eyes than to behold iniquity,' when site ought rather to have stood barefoot in the aisle, covered with a sheet as white as unmanned snow,' doing penance for her sins. Till this had been done, 1 would never have defiled my hands by placing the sacred symbols in hers and this she would have been compelled to do in those good old days when church discipline was in its pristine vigour and activity." Gentlemen, the author of the libel is a Minister of the Gospel. The libel is a sermon ; the act of publicatiou was preaching; the place was his church; the day was the Sabbath; the audience was his congregation. Far be it from me to treat lightly that office of which he wears the outward vestments, and which he by his conduct pro fanes. A pious, humble, inoffensive, charitable Minister of the Gospel of peace is duly entitled to the tribute of affection and respect which is ever cheerfully bestowed. But I know no title to our affection or veneration which is possessed by a meddling, intrig g, turbulent priest, even when lie chooses to separate his sacred office front his profane acts; but far less when lie mixes tip both together —when lie refrains not from entering the sanctuary with calumny—when he not only invades the sacred circle of domestic life with the torch of slander, but enters the hal lowed threshold of the temple and casts it flaming on the altar—when lie pollutes with rank calumnies the air whit la he especially is bound to preserve holy and pure—when he makes the worship of God the mesas of injuring his neighbour, mid polluting the flock committed to his care. 1)1 the defendant's motives 1 say nothing. I care not what they were; fur innocent they could not be. I care not whether he wished to pay court to some patron to look tip to the botinty of power, or whether it was mere mis chief and wickedness, or whether it was a onion of interest with spite. [lt is impossible to convey au idea of the pON edit' sole • ty of this address, or the irresistible im pression it made ou all who heard it] Mr. Thomas Botulism' Julinson.—l am a pointer at Li verpool. Mr. Maces, applied to me for printing of his sermon. That was the sermon now handed to me. Dining the time the printiug was going of 1 saw hint repeatedly . . I &live' ed to I the reef sheets. I have one in my custody. It contains a few marks made by I By Mr. Blacow.-1 do not know the instigators of this prosecution. I Mina know at whose expense it is can ted on. I know Mr. Brougham. He offered himself a candi date for Liverpool some years ago. Mr. Justice Hulroyd.—What has that to do with your defines? Mr. illacow.--I wish to show that Mr. Brougham is comiected with those in Liverpool who instigated the piu seetition. Mr. Justice Holroyd.—'f hat is immaterial. Cross examination continued.—When I was engaged in printing the Simen, you uudwhbtedly had frequent con vet:odious with our tespecting its p,i a ciplesand tenalenet. The substance of your motives, as you sla ts d them, was to expose the views of the Whigs and Radicals. You never showed bitterness or hostility towards the Queen on these OCCRbiOII.. You often expressed your regret that she had COMO:Clekt herself with a desperate faction in the state.
