BUCKS MICHAELMAS SESSIONS. [From the Bucks Chronicle.] AYLESBURY, TUESDAY, OCT. 15. The Duke of BUCKINGITAISI, for the first tinie since his ele vation in rank, took the chair, at about half-past 11 o'clock; and about noon, the Gland Jury having come into the gallery with Eagle, Esq., at their head, as foreman, his Grace proceed ed to deliver his charge, which made a considerable impression. His Grace first noticed the comparatively small number of persons to be tried for great offences, whence he inferred two important points—the decrease of crime, and the general good disposition of the county. These manifestations were very gratifying at so important a period of time as the pre.. scot ; in which, though there was much of hardship, yet he hoped and looked for alleviation. In the mean time, he begged the yeomanry to encourage every due submission to the laws and loyalty to the Crown. Nevertheless, he had to re gret that persons connected with the public press were pro moters of discontent, and the factious made it a vehicle for its dissemination. His Grace stated, that he remembered when similar efforts Were made in times past, when there were two contending parties, which united to defeat those arts ; and he called upon the Grand Jury and the Yeomanry now to direct their endeavours to the same effect. The Grand Jury being dismissed, and the usual preliminary business over, the Court adjourned to the chamber below, where what is called the private business of the county is transacted with closed doors. PRIVATE CHAMBER. As soon as the Duke of Buckingham had taken the chair, his Grace begged to call the attention of the Ma&istratas to a letter which he had recently written to the visiting Justices. The letter was accordingly read. It appeared to be ably written, and related principally to the economy of the gaol and other subjects connected with county management. When, the reading of the letter was finished, his Grace, after some general observations on the necessity of economy, moved series of resolutions, the substance of which was the appoint ment of a committee to inquire into the expenditure of the county. The Noble Chairman stated, in doing so, that notice of a motion on this subject had been given by a young Gentle man (Mr. Smith) whom he would with pleasure call his honour able friend, if he would allow him so to do ; but he much fear ed that differences of political opinion seemed rather to have excited private animosity against him. But he assured him (Mr. Smith) that lie (the Noble Duke) had always felt a great ' regard for him, and he did not conceive that he owed him any apology for taking his motion out of his hands, as it would perhaps come with more force and authority from the Lord- Lieutenant. He wished also to state, that he proposed this question with no idea that there existed any abuse in the ex penditure of the county-money ; but he thought that the same principle ought to govern the administration of public-money as the exigencies of the times prescribed in private establish ments—namely, the endeavours to save. Mr. SMITH seconded the Resolutions. He assured the Noble Duke that no apology was at all necessary for his having taken the motion. of which he (Mr. Smith) had given notice, cut of his hands ; and in seconding the Noble Duke's mo tion, he begged to expresss his delight and satisfaction that his original proposition had received so much additional weight from the sanction and the authority of the Lord Lieutenant's name. He could not, after what had fallen from the Noble Duke, refAin from adding, that the Noble Duke judged very erroneously of him, if he thought that a dif ference in politics could even fora moment create any thing like bitterness of private feeling. He could assure the Noble Duke, that, 4 although upon public matters it was impos sible for one man to be more at variance with another than he was with the Noble Duke, still he had never forgotten the cour tesies he had received at the hands of the Noble Duke. Private animosity was the last feeling to mingle in his discharge of his public duty. Mr. CARRINGTON asked some questions on the subject of the resolutions, and concluded by stating, that he had examined the public accounts with great minuteness and attention, and could assure the Magistrates, that no act of abuse in the expen diture had met his eye. The resolutions were then carried unanimously. They were in substance, that a Committee should be appointed to inquire into the expenditure of the county—that the Committee should consist of the Lord Lieutenant, the visiting Magistrates, and all other Magistrates who may attend on the first day the Com mittee meet—and that the Committee should meet on the 25th of November next. The Noble CHAIRMAN afterwards moved, that the Hon. R. Smith be added to the number of visiting Magistrates. The Magistrates then went into the investigation of matters con nected with the state of the gaol until about three o'clock. The Caledonian Canal will be opened from sea to sea early this week. A number of gentlemen of Inverness and neigh bburhood are to accompany Mr. GRANT of Wateroish and Castlehill, one of the Commissioners for this grea t national work, on this first interesting voyage which is to be ungettaken in the Lochness steam-boat.—( Lillaargh Courant, Oct. 21.) • X 0 • {ft 71 1 .// _2 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1822. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KINCPS BENCH, OCT. 23. Middlesex Sittings before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and Special Jurfcs. THE IcIN6 V. THE INHABITANTS OF THE PARISH OF ST. PANCTIAS. This was an indictment against the inhabitants of St. Pancras, for not repairing a road situate within the Parish, near the Re gent's Park. The prosecution was conducted at the instance of the Crown, by the SOLICITOR GENERAL, Mr. GURNEY, Mr. LITTLE DALE, and Mn SHEPHERD • and the defence, by Mr. SCAR LETT, Mr. GASELEE, and MT. ADOLPHUS. By the Acts of Parliament, for enclosing and beautifying the Regent's Park, several roads are directed to be made, and when made, are thereby declared to be public roads for the use of the King's subjects, their carriages, and horses, &c., with certain exceptions therein mentioned. The road in question, which is a continuation of Great Portland road (crossing the new road), leads along the East side of the Regent's Park, and t h e n ce round the North side, into the Edgware road, and was con structed under the authority of the Statutes referred to, at the expence of the Crown ; aria the question Was, whether the Sta tutes having declared such - a road to be public, the liability to keep it in repair devolved upon the inhabitants of the Parish within which it happened! to .be situated ? It was proved that the road, at the time of the indictment, was in a most deplorable state of irrepair, and was absolutely impassable, except in very dry weather, and then at the imminent risk of the passenger, whether on foot or in carriage. Two Government Surveyors and Architects proved that the road had been foimed under the auspices of Mr. Nash, by removing the green sward and putt ing on the maiden earth, about ten inches of gravel, without the substratum usually. employed in making new roads. Soc.a after it was formed, it was almost destroyed by the passage of ! carts, waggons, and other carriages, in conveying building ma terials for the erection of the Royal Horse Guards new Barracks, and the Ophthalmia Hospital (both situate on the side of the road), under the sanction of Government. There was no dis tinct evidence that the public had ever used it as a highway; and under these circumstances the defendants were indicted for not keeping it in repair. The LORD •CHIEF JUSTICE, upon hearing the whole of the case for the Crown, intimated cousiderable doubt, whether by any construction of the Acts of Parliament, relating to the Regent's Park, the liability to repair the road in question could be thrown upon the inhabitant; of the Parish ; but at all events he thought this indictment was premature, considering that though the road had been formed by Government, still it had got into a state of irrepair, by the use of it for Government purposes almost immediately after it had been formed. He could not help thinking that undet such circumstances the pro secution was rather ungracious, and therefore recommended that the Jury should be discharged from giving any Vercliet upon this indictment. It was agreed, accordingly, that, a Juror should be with drawn. BLASPHEMY. THE KING V. SAMUEL WADDINGTON% This was an information filed by his Majesty's Attorney- General, against the defendant, for publishing . and causing and procuring to be published, a blasphemous libel, concern ing the Holy Scriptures, and the Christian Religion, contained in " Palmer': Principle: of Nature." When the case was called on, only eight special jurors were in attendance, upon which the Counsel for the Crown prayed a tales, before the Juror, last called, was sworn. The defendant, in person, abruptly interposed, and claimed the right to be tried by a petit Jury, insisting (upon the autho rity of Mr. Justice Blackstone, in the 4th vol. of his Commen taries on the Law of England, page 104), that this was the only legal and proper mode of obtaining a trial in such cases. The defendant produced a box of considerable size, which he deliberately unlocked, and searched for the authority, but not finding it, he beckoned to one of his attendants, who produced a parcel of books, contained in a pocket handkerchief (much the worse for wear), from which he extracted a volume of Blackstone, and proceeded to read some pages of it. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE listened to him with patience for some time, and at length interposed, and said he knew of no law which prohibited the trial of the information by a special Jury. At present the trial must proceed; but if the defendant could satisfy the Court above, that the case ought not to have been tried by a special Jury, he might have a new trial. On the present occasion the special Jury had been appointed by a rule of Court, and sitting at Nisi Prime, his Lordship had no alternative, but to proceed. The defendant, whose language, gestures, and demeanour, it is impossible to describe, seemed much dissatisfied with the re sult of his objection. Mr. SHEPHERD then opened the information; and Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom were Mr. GUI!, NET and Mr. LITTLEDALE) stated the case for the Crown.— The defendant stood to take his trial, upon a charge of having published and caused to be published a blasphemous libel con cerning the Holy Scriptures, and he (the - Learned Solicitor) would not insult the understandings or disgust the ears of the Jury by repeating the particular terms and expressions of the libel. It was enough that the libel should be read once when it was produced in evidence. Suffice it for the present to say, that it was a libel upon the Old and New Testament, upon the character of our Saviour, and upon the principles of the Chris , tian Religion, expressed in such terms as must even be offen sive to those who were disposed to question the truth of Reve lation. The only question for the Jury was, whether the de fendant had been guilty of publishing and circulating the libel in question ? The libel, for which the defendant was now pro secuted, had been before made the Subject of information in this Court, and the publishers had been convicted anti punished. Many attempts had been made to prevent the farther circula tion of it. An information had been prosecuted against a eer son named . Carlile, for the publication of the same libel. I hat person had been convicted, and the Crown had seized all the prof erty belonging to him which was to be found in his house in Ileet-street. In short, no pains were spared to put a stop to the circulation of this and other works of a similar tendency.— To counteract these efforts, it would appear in evidence that the defendant took a house and shop nearly opposite St. Clement's Church, in the Strand (one of the most public situations in all London,) and commenced the trade of a pamphlet seller. The shop was divided into two by a partition, one of which, together with the second floor of the house,was let to Mr. Poole, a tobac conist ; and the remainder of the premises were occupied by the defendant. The defendant inscribed his name in large letters over the door, and commenced the business of a pamphlet seller. Soon after lie came into the shop, the utmost attention was ex cited by placards exhibited in the shop window. One of them was couched in the following terms :---` Payne's Age of Reason and Palmer's Principles of Nature, are now selling behind the curtain, price ss. each. No connection with Waddington, the fanatic." It was perfectly well known, that Payne's Age of Reason had then been prosecuted, and declared by successive Juries to be blasphemous. Of this the defendant could not, he ignorant. Another placard was expressed in the following terms:.—it To the forces of the Bridge-street and Essex-street Gangs. Samnel Waddington having seen them roaming about his shop, like roaring lions, seeking whom they may devour ; this. is to give notice, that Samuel 'Waddington does not sell ahy thing seditious or blasphemous ; but has a strong. suspicion that somebody under this roof does." It was evident from this,' that the defendant bad pronounced his own for upon the character of the works which he exhibited for sale.— This mode resorted to of carrying on his trade was this Within side the shop on the wall were posted the titles— " Payne's Age of Reason"—" Palmer's Principles of Na ture," and the names of other similar works. Against each of these was a hook suspended from a rope, which had .communi cation with the first floor of the house, and any person wishing to purchase any of these works had only to pull a rink, when a person above dropt a bag odown a spout or trunk, which coin-,' municated through the ceiling to the room above, and the pur chaser putting his money into the bag, the work wanted was immediately dropt down through the spout. The defendant, it should seem, had supposed that by this ridiculous contrivance, and machinery, he might protec t himself against the conse quences of his acts. Butin this he was mistaken. By law,. he was responsible for the acts of his servants, and if he kept the shop, though he did not, vend_ blasphemy or sedition with his own hands, yet he was still responsible, as ,the p er _ son having the controul and ma nagement a of the business.— This conduct of' the defendant- good deal of public attention. Mobs were collected about the door, and the neigh-. hours made complaints that they were interrupted in their lawful avocations. At length steps were taken to put a stop to, this public nuisance. Two or three persons were employed to obtain the formal evidence of the. defendants conduct, requi: site in a Court of Justice. In this Mr. P oole, the • next d oo r ' neighbOur, lent his assistance. An officer was introduced into his shop, and thence to the staircase, which was common to all the inmates of the house, and he stationed himself so that he could have a complete view of nearly all that passed in the de fendant's first floor room through the keyhole of the door.— After waiting for some time, he saw the defendant himself and a youth enter the room, no other person being present. He saw the defendant standing at the aperture which communi cated with the shop below. In the mean time another officer went into the shop, and pulling the ring opposite " Palmer's .Principles (if Nature," a bag was let down, into which he put two half crowns, which were drawn up by the defendant, who immediately went down stairs chinking the money in his hands, and handed the officer a chair, and in a minute or two a copy of the blasphemous work , now under prosecution, was dropt to the officer, and he took it up, and left the shop.— Under these circumstances, the Jury could have no doubt whatever that the defendant was the publisher of the book in question. He was engaged in the very transaction ; he was seen in the room taking the money, was heard to chink it, as he was going down stairs, and afterwards. was present when the book was delivered to the witness. Both in law, as well as in fact, the defendant was clearly the publisher, and if they were of this opinion, they would have no difficulty in finding him Guilty. Murton, a Bow-street Officer, proved that in Max last the defendant occupied a shop and premises, No. 200 A, in the Strand. His name was over the door. He saw two placards in the defendant's window, of which he took copies. Mre Elijah lmpey, Clerk to the Treasury Solicitors, proved Service of notice upon the defendant to, produce the original placards. • • . • • The defendant admitted notice, and said the Counsel for the prosecution might go on. The CIIIEV Jutericu said, it was not to be taken for grant ed that notice to produce was necessary in such a case as this. Tlle SOLICITOR GENERAL said, that notice had been served only for greater caution, and not from any conviction of its ne cessity: The Officer then tiroduced the copies Of the placards, which he had made at the defendant's window, and which were read. They were as stated by the Solicitor 'General, in his opening, The witness then stated, that on the 4th of May, in company , with Smith and Duke, two other Officers, he went to the de fendant's shop. Ile described the machinery and contrivance by which the defendant carried on his business, as mentioned by the Solicitor General, and proved the purchase of a copy -of. " Palmer's Principles of Nature," in the manner already stated. The defendant then proceeded to cross-examine the Witnesses. His language and deportment were such as to call for the in terpositien of . The CHIEF JUSTICE, who said to the Counsel for the Crown, there is something in the mannor of this man which appears to me to import derangement. . Mr. GURNEY—Your Lordship's suspicion has no founda tion whatever. The cross-examination proceeded, the defendant endeavour ing to shake the credit of the witness, who stated that he had often been in the defendant's shop before. On one occasion he bought at the shop, the defendant's Letter to the Editor of The Traveller. The defendant was present. He did not serve him ; but desired him to put, down his money, and take up the pamphlet from .the counter, which he did, and the defendant took up the Money. lie was positive that lie saw the defend ant in the room above the shop at the time the money was drawn up through the spout. Denied dust there was any thing in the structure of the lock which impeded his view. The defendant 'never refused to hell him blasphemous or seditious works. He never assaulted or struck the defendant in his own shop. Could not be positive that the pamphlet lie bought at the defendant's shop was the letter to-the Editor of The Traveller. On one oc casion, when he was in the shop, the defendant abused him and called him names. Did say to the defendant, that if he was a prisoner of his, and the mob endeavoured, to rescue him, he would blow their brains or his Out. The copies of the placards which he produced now were in the handewnting of Duke, but he had first made copies himself with a pencil,, The defendant complained in a violent manner that he had been surrounded by a - host of incendiaries. Mr. GURNEY called upon the Court to restrain the defend ant from using this sort of language. The CHIEF JUSTICE—It really strikes me that themes, something wrong in this man. There is another mode of doing something with him. The Statute prescribes what is to be done in such cas t es. The defendant said he was glad that the Learned Judge ap pealed to the Statute, and he would abide by the law. Looking to the Jury, he said, lie would abide by their judgment. He was determined to expose the parties.' Ile would be judged by their verdict, and if, as in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, there was only one righteous man amongst them, he should be saved. The CHIEF JCSTICE-1 really feel a difficulty in proceed in* in this man's case. rite Juliet seemed to intimate a doubt that the defendant was not rightin his senses. The Cu lEF.JusT CE—There is a course which the law has pointed out, which, if it becomes necessary, I shall adopt. The Jury seem to agree with me that all is not right. Mr. GUltlit)i—From all the information we have received, we have no reason whatever to believe that there is any ground for supposing that he is insane—certainly not. We certainly have no notion that that is the case. The CHIEF Ju STICE—I am speaking of the man's con duct and appearance which have very strong indications of what I have alluded to. I shill let him go on in any course of examination that at all bears upon his case ; but he must con form himself to the law. What aid you say to me ?—I said I would be a friend to you. Waddington—A very good friend indeed. Did you not strike me and threaten to blow my brains oat ?—No ; I said if you were my prisoner I would not suffer you to escape, and that I would blow your brains or any other person's, rather than allow you to be rescued. . . Did I not call you a common informer, and that you would swear away the blOod of any mart fora few shillings ?—You abused me. Were you not drinking at the White Hart with notorious pick-pockets ?—No ; there were some persons there. Waddington—Persons ! were they not men ?—They were not Bishops. Well go down. I care not what you swear. . '%Vin. Smith was next produced--He remembered going with the'last witness to the defendant's ; Mr. Poole who occupied a part of the premises, allowed them to go into his parlour during the day ; Purton watched on the staircase ; in consequence of what Mr. Poole's daughter said, witness went out of the shop - and entered 'Waddington's shop ; the defendant was not then there ; saw the names of books on the wall, and the hooks at ._ tached to them ; a cord with a ring, communicated from the room above ; witness pulled it down and put the hook on the book he wanted ; it was Palmer's Principles of Nature ; there was a tube and a speaking trumpet in the shop ; witness cried out through it—" Have you got that ?" meaning the book to which the hook was attached • he spoke aloud, and put the money in a hag ; it was five shillings ; the defendant was not in the shop, then ; he came in soon afterwards, and offered wit ness a chair to sit down ; shortly after a book came down ; it fell out of the spout on the floor ; witness took it, and went out of the shop, and marked it before it went out of his hands. Cross-examined by NVaddington—lle had never asked to btiy any. other 1-,ublications of the defendant, except the Univer sal Prayer. Never had been refused any , work by him. Waddington—Did you not swear at Bow-street that you had purchased the Secret Book of ine. The Co tril'—Were these examinations in writing? Waddington—Yes.. • The Con wr—Then you must produce them. The rules of evidence do tot allow, you to put such a question. Wadddington—The rules of evidence—if they will not allow me to examine the witness as to what he has before sworn, may send me innocently to . a prison. What can I do ? I have not his examinations—how then produce them ? Your Lordship is • here the representative of the King, but from the greatest man of you all, whirling even.Serjeant Copley, the Solicitor-Gene ral, down to the Crier of the Court, you receive the wages of the public, and I contribute to them. Robert Duke was next called—lle is a Bow-street officer, and accompanied Smith and Purton to the house of Poole. On •the 4th of May, after Poole's daughter had said something, Smith and Purton went out, and witness went up stairs ; he looked throughthe key-hole of the door of the front-room on the ' first pair . ; saw a little boy and the defendant within ; there was a candle burning near the key-hole, heard Smith say from the shop below " Have you got that ?" saw Waddington after ' welds come out with money jingling in his hand. NOthing occurred in the cross-examination of this witness.. John Poole, tobacconist, 201, Strand, proved that Wadding ton occupied a part of the premises ; saw him there every day till he went to prison ; his name was paintedin large letters on the outside ; the officers came a week before they succeeded in taking him; they were in his_ parlour; the apartments occu pied by Waddington were before held by one Clarke, a book., seller. Cross. , exßmined by Waddington—They lived near each other ; witness was a tobacconist. • It was not to entrap him that he had the Bow-street Officers in his parlour. From the nature of the-placard in the defendant's w:nclow, persons consi dered, him as the publisher of blaspheinous publications, and applications had been made to him to sell them. Jane Poole, the daughter of the fonner witness, proved that Waddington went into the front room the evening the Officers went down, which they did as soon as she told them that he had gone in. Defendant, before he went in, looked both up and down stairs. From the position she was in, a little above the landings-place, Waddington could net see'ller. Cross-examined by Waddington—There were two rooms on the first floor, in one of which she believed, Waddington slept. The libelous paragraphs were then read, and the book hand ed to the Jury. The defendant then addressed the Jury. He - commenced with telling the Jury that it was needless for him to state to them that he was the defendant; but he asked them also to ber in mind by whom he was brought before them. He was brought there by the Diavolus Regi. He was called there at the prosecution of the King, for publishing a book, although the informer, on whose evidence the prosecution was founded, had himself sworn that he, the defendant, had neither given Juni the book, or that he received the money. He had never read a line of the book until it became necessary, in order to prepare for his de fence. Even allowing, for argument's sake, that it was a libel, why did they not prove that some persons had been in jured by reading its doctrines? 'Why, as good Christians, was he not advised by them that ,he was selling a work that blasphemed the Bible, and that , was calculated to divert the public from the path moral rectitude ? Was the design only to entrap him ?—And what would the Jury think of this witness Poole, a neighbour, with whom he had no quarrel, whom he would have served rather than injure; and who admitted Bow-street Officers into his parlour for the purpose of entrap. ping the man who occupied an apartment in the same house with him ?" He, the defendant, had been cruelly harrassed, he had been thrown into prison, brottF,ht thence into that Court by Habeas Corpus, to answer an intormation filed by the Attor ney-General—that odious relic of the Star Chamber. What was his case that day might be the case of' the Jury hereafter. They could not fail to recollect what police officers were capable of—what was brought home to them in the case of Brock and Pelham, and that blood-money conspiracy. How. was it that it was only labor men that were the objects of their prosecution ? Why did they not prosecute the Bishop of Clogher ? Why was he allowed to escape ? ror, will any man deny that the Bishop by his conduct did not render the Christian religion a greater injury than could be effected by all the writers and advocates of infidelity that ever existed. It was not his business that day to defend the publication said to be a libel. He was there to t'• fend his own conduct, and, as St. Paul said- to King Agrippa, most happy was{ he to stand there in his defence ? If those who prosecuted him spare really anxious to put down such publications, they would not have taken the course they had.—The prosecution would give a greater sale to such a work. Such were the opinions of the greatest writers, even Christian. The defendant proceeded to read from some work in the.controversy between Mr . . Whiston and Di.. Clarke, a number of pages tending, as he argued, to she" the impoliCy of the church calling in the aid of the civil Magistrate.. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE attended with 'great patience, until at length he felt called upon to .interrupt the defendant, observing, that he could not allow a person charged with a libel, to read in the line of his defence the libel of a third party on any class of his Majesty's subjects. A Juror expressed his coincidence in that opinion. The line the defendant was taking was wholly irrelevant. The defendant resumed. The Jury woe his judges; he was in their hands, and he had a right to put a blush on the cheeks of those who assisted in prosecuting him. What would be the consequence if he, prevented front making his own defence, was convicted ? would.be that his Lordship would go down to posterity thptt o nical. Judge of the day. Ile again resumed to read,:_ 4f the . CoUrt • would have a little .patienee he won -e...• .xlfiectly to the point.— The book had never • c feed a libel. If it was one, out of the numerous. ." Clergymen in the diocese of London, not one as they were in dtity bound, came to admonish him that he was publishing a book against that religion which they were bound to defend. No ;it was their business to entrap him—to throw him into prison, and to deprive hitn, as they had, of every shilling of Ills capital.— The prosecutors were themselves weak in faith. If they be lieved what they pretended, they would not persecute opi nion, but leave men on these points to the solemn Judgment of the Last Day, when they would all have to answer for their deeds. If the faith they professed was sincere, would the gi eat Powers of Europe, the Holy Alliance, allow their fellow creatures, the Greeks, to be massacred by the Turks ? What was the statement of Lord Liverpool when he imputed the agriCulitt ral distress to an over produce, but blasphemy on the goodness of God for diffusing blessings ? A rich man, whatever he did, was rarely prosecuted, unless sometimes, and for the purpose of feed ing the voracious mouths of lawyers. The present prosecution had been first brought against him by the Society for.the Sup pression of Vice, of which the Bishop of Clogher was a Member. He should call no evidence, as these produced on the part of the prosecution answered his purpose, they showed that he neither gave nor received money for the work. The innocent little girl proved that he slept in one of those rooms out of which he can e, and what would be the condition of every man in the country if he were made responsible for the acts of others, who may have access to the apartments of a house in which he dwelt. The CHIEF JusTlcE summed up the evidence. There was no doubt as to the paragraphs being libellous ; it was for them to say whether , the defendant published it. , . A JURYMAN asked, whether a publication denying the Divinity of our Saviour was illegal ? The LORD CHIEF JUSTlCE—Undoubtedly it is; in thoie words to deny the Divinity of Christ, and call him an im postor is a libel, for Christianity is a part of the law of, the land. The Jury, without leaving the box, found the defendant Guilt y. Sittings appointed in Middlesex. and London, before the Right Hon.
