Mr. READER 'opened the pleadings, and Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated the care for the prostcu tion. Tire terms and character of the publication which bad been just read would, he tro.ted, exempt him from the imputation of compromising his duty to the Crown, it he abstained frost all observations as to its contents. The same subject had already undergone undergone a full nod patient investigation by other Juries. All, therefore, to which he was anxious to *twit* their attention in the present case wow, the circumstances under which the libel in question had been published. 1-1 0 t was ready to admit, that nothing Could be m ore painful or disgusting than the introduction ofiubjetialike there into • Court of Justice. The public discutisiou of them could not fail to produce. mischieiviss effects; hut the only alternative was to resort to this proceeding, or suffer the evil to spread till it should'uodermitie all the religious institutions of the country. It might be proper for him also to remark, that howarier desirable it might be,,to proci r; e 4 against the . oriV nal author whet( he could bereuud. he still thought.. that a publisher had mach to ilpswer for. It was not enough for one who followed the trade of di.- seminating poison, to say that he was not aware how 110KSOUI were the ingredients of which it was composed. It appeared to h i nt manifest, on the ' face of this publication, that its object was to bring the church service into contempt, and ttiore.ripe. daily that part of it which related to the office of ordination. Oil this. however, the Jury were to decide, and, after a fair review of the whole ca.e, to pronounce whether or not the rublication was calculated to produce the effect imputed to it. William Hart deposed, that he knew the De fendant, and bought a copy of the 14th number of The Black Book in his shop at the bottom of Bull street, Birmingham, on the I 4th of December Ile was employed to make the purchase, and ob served considerable numbers of similar pamphlets in the shop. l'he shop was divided into two parts. in one of which lace was sold. and in the other books and prints. Ile had not seen, according to his recollection, the Defendant for some time pre. vious to his purchasing the work ; nor did he know whether the name of Rang was over the door or not. Payne. the chief constable of Birming ham, stated, that he had often seen the Defendant in the house &berthed by the last witness ; end it was also proved ' by Mr. Arnold, a solicitor, that the Defendant held that house of him in Decem ber last. Mr. DENMAN, who was Counsel for the De fendant, objected that there was a deficiency of legal l imit'. inasmuch us no evidence was offered that the subjects to which the alleged libel applied were parts of the church service or church establish ment. Mr. Justice BEST over-ruled the objection, re serving, however, to the Defendant the right of submitting it to the Court of King's Beach in the ensuing Term. . Mr. DENMAN began Isis address to the Jury by submitting to them, that whatever decision might be ultimately pr •erl on the question of legal p r oof, there was not evidence to make out the po sitive allegations of the indictment. What evi dence had they that the office of ordination form ed soy part of the church service? On other s.cca. sions, as to the trial of Mr. Hone, it had been deemed necessary to put in formal evidence that tie subjects supposed to be impugned were cer tainly legal parts of the church establishineot.— From early instruction, all might be aware that the Catechism was a part ; hat very few persons, lie ap. prehetided, were familiar to the terms in which or dination was conferred. It was one of the pecu liarities of our church, that ordination by a Ca• tholic Malloy was a sufficient authority for a preacher of our Protestant establishment. How could the Jury, upon their oaths, declare that there had been any intention to cast scandal and contempt on the formularies of our Church without knowing what these formularies were ? He entreated - them not to suffer the current language of the day, shout the necessity (which he did not mean to deny) of suppressing dangerous publications, to divert them from the consideration of their strict aud simple duty. They did not flit there as cen sots of the press, but were sworn to give a faithful I verdict upon one issue. an issue embracing these two questions—had the Defendant been proved to publish this worlf„'it Ull ? and. if he had. with the criminal intention imputed to hint ? Ilia own conviction was, that neither of these pro positions had been supported. If, however, even a doubt could he entertained respecting them, the Defendant was entitled to an acquittal. Let a publication be ever so mischievous or dangerous, unless a criminal intention could he sheen. the pe nalties of the law ought not to apply, lit his own opinion, if the formulary of ordination did, in term., invest a clergyman with the power of absolving it'd remitting silos, the sooner such a supposed power I was abrogated the better. Mr. Justice BEST, in strong terms, condemned the publication. aud regretted that* the lesruid Counsel had endeavoured to controvert principles which he must knOW had been established above half a century.
