THE EXPRESS,

brought them into court, asserting that they were libela.
He (Mr. lloviil) submitted that the whole matter was
a fair discussion of a public question, and that so
far from there being any malice on the part
of Mr. Bird he had only done what it was his duty to do,
occupying the position which he did. It was said that Mr.
Turnbull lied reaWned his situation in consequence of these
WWI of Mr. Bird, but it was clear that he Ltd offered to
resign long before these letters were published, and that
because he found publi' opinion IVRY “gaiost him, and
because he was unwilling to imperil confidence in
these public records. Mr. &will thee proceeded to
read extracts from the " Legend re Catholics:. a Lytle Boke
of fleyntlie Codes," which was published by Mr. Turnbull,
as he said as a mere jeu d'esprit, and which was
said to be "Imprinted at Edinburgh in the year
of the incarnation 1,410." The author said, "And
these legends were • fabricated for the promotion of
fanaticism.' Is fantail= extinct now that noriachimm

Within two years, however, from this time Mr.

in maser appointed to his position at the Iterard-oflioe
than the AtAnsaum drew attention to the matter, saying
that they could not believe the statesman of his moult..
sit; and added, that the papers "derail* the Wars of
the Armada, the War of Independence in Holland, and the
Thirty Years' War. in all which events Mr. Turnbull be-
lieves the waken this country to have been deplocable, undo-
and fake. They abound in particulars of those writings

the pesos of the family and that of the State. They pre-
serve for as mesh multifarious information relative to those
priestly pine which the government of Elizabeth crushed
with a drone head. Mr. Turnbull Woke the
council, parbaasug, and people of England barbermegaea
malignant in the um they made of this preservative power.
They contain many allusions to the miracle-impostures
by which the Ransil& priests preserved their amend-
annoy over ignorant and fanatical minds." Under

might have been ia preparing his calendar, it would still
have bola mid that it was prepared by a violent Roman
catholic, and the book would never have obtained a reputa-
tion for impartiality. The learned gentleman proceeded to
read extracts from some books referred to in the alleged
libels, to show that the principles of the Jesuit, was to
mutilate books and documents in the interests of their
church, and that this principle had been acted on, and he
wee about to refer to other books not mentioned in the
alleged libels and which had not been before referred to in
the course of the trial, but his Lordship, upon objection by
the plaintiff's ossesel, held that the books could not
