The next judgment moved was that of Samuel Waddington.
The defendant, addressing the Court, said he stood there
zlaiming his right to be heard ou a motion for a new trial, and
he should insist on that right. He wits silenced by the Court.
The Lord Chief Justice read the libellous passages selected
from •. Palmer's Principles of Nature," and the evidence on
the trial ; and observed the defendant urged strongly to the
Jury that tire witnesses were out to be believed who stated that
Ire was the publisher.
The defendant proceeded to comment upon the term special
and petty jury.
Mr. Justice Bayley cited Blackstone to show that a petty
jury meant a special Jury, as cuntradistioguished fwra a grand
jury.
The derentlant then referred to the Unitarians being sane
tioned by the Legislature, and the Judge's answer to the ques-
tion of the Jury.
The Solicitor General explained, referring to the short-hand
writer's notes. His Lordship merely des! fired, that to speak of
our Saviour as he did, was against law, and a line',.
The Lord ChrefJustice affirmed the truth of this interpreta-
tiou of what he meant by lire explanation.
Mr. Justice Bayley—The Act of Parliament for the relief of
the Luiturians was merely as to penalties for denying the God-
head of the Trinity. It tippears to nine w hat his Lordship said
was perfectly legal, and the venlig of the Jury given upon that
answer on,lit to stand.
Defendant proceeded—The labels attached to the books sold,
as well as the hooks themselves, might tie hrought there by the
Bow-street ollicers, and sold in conspiracy with the person who
kept the shop.
Lord ChieiJustice—You ir tie concluded t—Yes.

Mr. Justice Bayley thought it perfectly clear, it such pamph-
lets were sold in that shop, Ilial the person keeping the Amp
was auswerable ; such person lending himself to the publication
WAS guilty as yuriiceps It was for tile Jury to Oeter-
mine the fact that be had lent himself to the publication.
Mr. Justice Holroyd was of opinion there was no ground for
a new trial, and that the obeet vatiun of the Lord CliiefJostice
to the Jury was perfectly correct, " that to deny the truth of
the divinity of Chihli was a label," and the Jury, meter that di-
rection, had gi•en that veriiiu,, which was also perfectly correct.
There was nu doubt of the evidence vs ailioiting the Jury its
bailing defendant guilty
Mr. Justice Beet concurred with his brother Judges.
Def.wdaut being asked wheat he bad to sty Ire tuitigrfion,pro-
oeeded in an audible voice. Ile tailed their Lordships' atbm-
,tion to the recollection, that for the judgment they pissed upon
him this day, they would be called upon to remit e th.l judg
meut of all nations before that august Being the Aniline of the
UillTerar, who was outraged in his character of cZeillti tllllll
and wisdom by this prosteutimi.
