The learned gentlemen' eteaseuted at some lug* au the
palms of the alleged libel, essaparing It with the patine
Ibte above abase alluded to, and coalualled k was
iltirly impossible the article complained of was meant km
•sy other individual. He was sere the jury would see the
fallegy of the plea of the defendant, who, when he band
himself likely to get into difficulties, said " Oh, it was aot
pm, but some other person I mosat," and condemn the
tardy act of jambe of the oil...dant, who, lath the fear of
the Quern's Beach before him, then published a denial. The
yarned counsel called the following witnesses:
The Rev. Oeorge Rundle Pries, incumbent of Bided
Chapel, was instituted to Saint Peter'., Eldad, in September,
1848, and was 'married September, 1849, to • daughter of

hie solicitor, and the same day Mr. Leiser milled on him,
woes his curate, the R7.T. Goo. Mottling, was with him.
He said be bad "'Seder/id' reference to an article I. the
paper, first baying asked fee • private interview, which he
declined. Plainuff replied that it be had called with refe-
rence to that article, be must refer him to his solicitor, in
whose hands be had placed the matter. The defendant re-
plied, he did not wish to interfere with say proceedings wit.
sees bad thought fit to institute, but to *spleen =teethe article
was meant to apply to Mr. Burgess, and not himself. Wit-
, nem remarked he had been attacked so enemy times by him
sad in m gross • meaner, that he was compelled to places it
in the kends of his solicitor.

there ; he heel been living with his wife on terms of the at-

of affection between him and his wife before the publication
of this article, or affective" his moral character in any respect.
Hs could not recollect who lint poiuted out to him the article
of the 24th Jan. He might have purchased it. It was
not by Mr. Jose ph Beer, who was one of the lay secretaries
to the Church Union S =sty, which promotes those forme
and practices called Puseyiera. It was composed of a mixed'
body of Churchmen, sad not Paseyites, as they were termed.
He supposed they would promote the Anglican Cathebe
Cavell. His chapel and congregation were not commie*,
called • Puseyite asp= and congregation. They wade' be
very indignant at its being done es. Mr. Leaner anomaly
called it so. His affidavit for the Queen's Bench was made
the Monday following to the publication of the libel.
He knew of a chapel called &coed Advsat Clapp!,
in • straight line with Se Peat's Church. He knew Mr.
Burgess by eight, and believed he lived in • house next
to the Second Advent Chapel; it was about 10G yards Irons

leigb, in the same home with Mr. Burgess. lie never heard
before the publication of this article of a yoga, lady residing
near Elded Chapel being delivered of • child; and sever
declared the situation of such mother a delimit' one, ace took
• pare in it. Had any one stated each, it was false. Were it
not toe the r. Anil= to the " priest of Eel= Chapel sad
Pus. yite pi iruiples," in the article, he should not have sp.
plied it to himself. The libel in his judgment ended with
the word " daughter." He might ban men Mr. Jcseph
Beer on the Suiday at St. Peter's Church. The paper he
first sew is has own house. lie did not consider he had
been told of :he publication, and although be did not
habitually reed the paper he could not recollect bow be
came by it. He could not underetand the =este eg of the
church :acting as well as that with reference to the escape-
ion. A band-all, similar to the one produced, was left at
witnese's house, sod was posted about the neighbeirhood,

obtained. (ether readers would have their conviction

articles published in this jeureal. If they Lad not steatite=
they mien have applied this artieleto plaintiff. He was the
only Fiat at Bided, Mr. Heeling being in deacon's orders.
Learner had designated Hailing a " priest," although he
the plaintiff was the priest par exceLence. The learned
(outset headset the wt ass a paper containing an article
beaded " MOTIDOIIiteO." of Dee. 27. lle had not read
that before the article in queetien—to-day was for tee first
time. It seams to refer to similar facts as that in the
libel. Had he seen this paper he might have thought it to
apply to Mr. Burgess as well as himself.
The Rev. G. H. Hettlirg, curate of the last witness, proved
being sent for by the plaintiff on the Saturday; be had seen
the article complained of on the Thursday. Had been
stopped by a gentleman in the High-street. Plymouth, and
asked what Mr. Pryoue tad been about lie considered the
article referred to the plaintiff. He corroborated Mr.
Prynne'e statement as to the iuterview of the plaintiff and
defendant. No offer of denial of the libel was made by the
Never heard any imputation against the plaintiff's
moral character previous to this.
Rev. Peter Holmes, master of the Plymouth Grammar-
mho 1, bad read the article in question, and applied it to
Mr. Prynne. He was a member of the I.:blush Union, ad
oae of the secretaries. The union paid nothing towards this
prosecution.
Ceptain Joka Haynes, R.N., of Plymouth, proved reading
the ariele in question. He only knew the plaintiff by sight,
bu-. as loon as Ys read the article he applied it to him. He
could not get a copy of the paper until • fortnight after, and
that he seat to a friend.
Cross-examined —Hs epplied this to the plaintiff from the
allusion to " the priest of Eldad."
liev. Phil. Haynes, curate of St. Phillip'., Liverpool, re-
etived • paper containing the libel from his uncle, the pre-
vious wham; be knew the plaintiff by name only as offi-
ciating at Eldad Chapel. He considered it to apply to Mr.
Pram", or whoever was the priest of that chapel.
Cress-examined.—He should have thought it applied to
the incumbent of Bided, whoever he was. He knew naught
of the carat*.
Mr. John Down, hoeier,of Plymouth, and a member of
the plaintiff's congregation, heard reed the article com-
plained of on the Sunday after the publication. He applied
it to Mr. Perm*.
Ur. W. E. Brendon saw the article the day of its publics-
dos. He was secretary to the Church Union. They had
nothing to do with paying the expenses of this prosecution.
Cross-examined.—After the rule was made absolute, the
matter was brought before the committee, in enema los of
a statement made by the defendant's counsel. They denied
having anything to do with it. He attended the Eldad
Church from its being his district church. The part ra
leering to the grey. headed marriage be could not apply te
the plaintiff. There were two or three church meetings at
the first coming of Mr. Prynne to Bided, and called as such.
The previous part of the paragraph and the church meetings
Ito connected—tbe latter having been held for the purpose
of doing away with the" peculiarities," of the rev. gentle-
man which were earaplaked of.
Lieut. Digby, h.N. had no arsenal knowledge of the
plaintiff. He etensidend the article to apply to the plaintiff.
Oa Friday, after the publication, he met the defendant, and
said, "You have put your band in a hornet.' nest in need-
ding with Mr. Permit." He replied, "You must have
read it very carelessly, to think it alluded to Mr. Pepin.; it was
meant for Mr. Burgess and another party be could not re-
collect, one of whom had Ad an illegitimate child, end who
was gone to America."
Mr. Thomas Pearson, proprietor of the Cann slate quar-
ries at Ply istptou, proved reading the paragraph at the time
and attributed it to Mr. Pricey, but from what he bad nails
heard and =quirks he had made, he del not now think it
did so apply to the plaintiff. He did not at the time coal
etive that the term " priest" was to be applied to Mr.
Burgess.
Mi. William Wills, assistant to Mr Joseph Beer, read
the paper regularly. He applied the =lisle in queen' ee
the plaintiff.
Mr. Joseph Bear saw the paper first in his own house, and
after at the libelee'', where the article was hilted of by a
number of gentlemen, amongst the rest the Rev. J. Me go
chard, all of wheat applied it to Mr. Prynne.
Mr. Greenwood handed the wiener an affidavit man to
by II fa, stating that the libel having been read, all present
concurred in its being meant for Mr. Prynne, bat he did ant
eta'. In it that Mr. Hatchard that same evening altered his
opinion ; that was omitted by the solicitor,. Witness wished
it to appear in the affidavit. On the following day he was
present at a meeting of the guardians of the poor of Devoe-
port, when the article was read aloud, and all agreed that
the plsiatiff was meant. Mr. Harris, the governor, Mr.
Gullet, the deputy.governor, with Mr. Bennett, and others,
were there. Witares could not recollect meeting Mr.
nation, the 24. h January, and raying, " Now, we've get

plural, and ha had been whining young ladies' hearts

progenitive arose from Mr. Latimer opueleg Mr. Prypee
and his hinds, and wag caught at es a reuibutioa on the
defendant, and the origin of the prosecution was for the
attacks on what was vulgarly called " Paseyisia." He
would prove that Mr. Burgess was the only party alluded
to is this paragraph. Mr. Burgess was a serried maa,
who was separated from his wile; but with him lived •
Mr. Stoodleigh sad Miss Middleton, and abut twelve
menthe since remarks were made on Miss Middleton%

the lady had been married to • esrtain party, but them
was • reason for easualiag that feet. lb* young lady
was ultimately .slued in Mr. Burgess's house, his sister
attending to her. Up to this time the marriage had not
been made knows, and probably had never taken place,
and the congregation were much annoyed at tbe medal;
and Mr. Mickiewood, the " priest," al he ethed himself,
of
another chapel of the same denomination to Plymouth, who
wee satisfied Mr. Burgess had cast disgrace on the body be
belonged to, sent the article is question to Mr. Lotion,
and who he (the learned counsel) intended to put into

lag at the " Advent nigh," and because the plaintiff had
been preaching on the Advent, it was monstrous to sup-
pose that he wee intended. H. (the learned counsel)
was mueb surprised at the plaintiff so hastily adoptiag this ,
utiele, and was inclined to believe his mated was warped by
the peevione attacks on Puseyine, and in • spirit that
ought lot to have led him on. Then be we. certain it wee
applied to him because his curate was in deseon's orders, bat
the people did not snake e 3 nice a distinction, for some time
sloop they would recollect the minister was spoken of as the
or clergyman, and it was only of later days by the
parses
potty these nice distinctions were made, and the
term priest more generally used ; and to show that the
word priest" alluded to Me. Pique by the defendant, be
had pr.duted other articles in which the term applied to
him was used by the defendant in his writing'. The leaned
counsel then referred to • former reticle, ?deeds, to the
Mornionites, which was introductory to the article ama-
plained if, and insinuating that which the subsequent article
in plainer terms stated. All Mr. Lstimer eould do was to
publish a refutation of the imputation on Mr. Fusee, which
he did by hand-bills placarded about the towns, and, fur-
thermore, he had cowed it to be inserted in a number of
newspapers. The eharre of " abhorrent Pseuds doetrieni,"
there could be no doubt was meant for Mr. Prynne, bat the
immoral practices were attributed to another person. Re
(the learned counsel) could only me.; this by calling a body
of evidence of ovary class, whol would say they did sot read
the article as applying to Mr. Prynne, nor could it he attri-
buted to him in the slighted shape or form, and that the
feeling was universally believed that the charge was applies-
hie to Mr. Barges., whom it fitted, except in the ponies
allusion to Puteyissi.
The court rose at half put ten o'clock.
Ar oral' 7.
His lordship took his seat at nice o'clock, when the ems
was resumed.
The folloniag witnesses were called for the defence :
Mr. W. P. Heals, surgeon, dke , of Plymouth, attended a
young lady in her confinement in a house, No. 2, Wyndham.
street, adjoining the Second Advent Chapel; he did net
know wise her it was at the residence of Mr. Burgett. The
lady's name was given to him as Middleton. He was paid
his fee by a young woman named Eiwick, who he under
stood was Mr. Bergen's sister.
Mr. Ri-hard Densham, of Stonehonse : The Seemed
Advent Chapel is situated in Wyndham-street, and Mr.
Burgess resided clog* by. Mr. Stoodleigh, an old gentleman,
eighty years of age, resided with Mr. Burgess. Wi,nsu
read the article in question end applied it to Mr. Burge',,
from what he had heard before its publication, as to the
birth of • child.
Mr. D. Petherwick, who resides in the vests y of the
Second Advent Chapel, said no building adjoining the above
chapel was occupied before June last The district near is
celled Eldsd. Ile knew Mr. Bursdis, who lived adjoining
the chapel. Wands knew Miss Middleton, who lived with
him up to the close of lot year. and was one of the congress. I

The young lady was considered as Mr. Stoodleigh's -house.
keeper, and her appetranee was the subject of conversation in
the neighbourhood, which occasioned scandal on the couple-
reins. In consequence of that, the deacons and elders met,
which was called a " deacon snd elder meeting ;" but what
was called a church meeting, which was for the t maladies of
private business, and confined to the members, bad not been
held for 12 months. There had been no church meeting
since the congregation left the Central hall. A church meet-
ing is confined to the members of the congregation, and at
which the deacons and elders attend. After the mediae
of the deacons and elders, they waited on Mr. Burgess, to
know the truth of the rumour that was flying about respect-
ing Miss Middletnn's pregnancy, and, to clear !dwell, he
replied " he stied with • cons, ienee clear of the charge ;"
the deacons considered he gave no satisfutory answer to the
charge. This occurred the latter end of November. He said,
however, at the fir.t meeting, Miss Middleton might have
been married to some person unknown. At • second inter-
view with Mr. Burgess he gave the same reply. The inquiry
of him took place each time in his own house.
Mr. George Chirp, one of the deacons of the chapel,
proved the meeting of the deacon and elders, with reference
tr. the rumours about Miss Middleton, and waiting on Mr.
Burgess. Witness saw the article on the Sunday following
its publication; and, knowing the cute, considered it ap-
plied to Mr. Burgess, with the exception of the charge of
Poseyism.
Cross-examined.—Mr. Burgess still continues to preach at
Ithe chattel.
William Tante', member of Mr. Burgess's chapel—On
reading the alleged libel he attributed it to Mr. Burgess.
Ridded Winenr, beeketuker. at Devonport, a member
of this chapel and one of the deacons, gave similar test'mony
to the above witness.
Mt. Ed. Mkklewood, the alleged author of the paregreph,
was then called. He preached at one of the Second Advent
dispels in Wilson-street, Plymouth, about half a
mile from the one at Hided. He had preached there
two year', and was aeqnainted with Mr. Burgess. The dee-
trines taught were different. The chief topic, *MOM MI
both, WY the near approach of the Saviour's wooed coals/.
He had bus on terms of intimacy with Mr. Bathes', who is
a married MS, and separated from his wife. In Jemmy
last witness had correspondence with the wife. Shortly be-
fore the 24th January he furnished the article produced is
MS. to Mr. Latimer. It was in his own handwriting end
was his own composition. It was seat to him in an VIVI.
lope, sad the first time he had any counsel= with Mr.
Latimer on the subject was the week following its publics-
lion and these proceedings talked of. The first article he
wrote was the one compisined of. He did not write the
" llornesite " article, neither did he know who did.
Be disagreed with Pomba, and believed the mime-
aim and practice both " abhorrent and objedionable."
He adopted this mode of correcting Mr. Burgess's con-
duit, undemanding the matter was so extensively ebrell-
Wed shot it could not but be g Ily understood who was
must; and that woe his reason for not referring to him
straightforward like a nuts. He bad not denied writhe, this
article in question to a person named John Eaeott, saying,
that "Now Latimer had got lido • scrape he must get him
out of it the best way he scald." He had not said any smih
thing to any person. He thought it was no use he um.
audits privately to Mr. Burgeon to improve his seado4
but that the better way was to publish this In the pww,
that was the reel and main object be had in view: Re had
bee* as bad terms with Mr. Burgess for three years.
Rev. William Payne, Chsplain of the Navel Hoepital at
fitonshove.—l read the alleged libel on the day of its
publication. I understood It to apply to the minister of the
Second Advent Chapel.
Cressexandsied.—Was not aware that the Sewed Advent
Chapel practised the "abhorrent doctrines " of nuayisra.
Rev. Mr. Hatchard, Vicar of St. Andrew's, Plymouth—l
thought that the article smelled to Mr. Prynne. I thought
of it afterwards, sad within an hour my realise was altered.
