LAW INTELLIGHNCE.

COURT or KING'S BENCH, GUILDIIALL,
MONDAY, OCTOBER 23.

THE RING V. JANE CARI.ILI.
This Wag an indictment at the prosecution of
11. e Svcietv for the Suppiession of Vice ; and it
t'aivir,rd Mrs. Carlite with publishing and uttering
two hissphoorino. slid profane works—the one being
44 'rile Life of Thomas Paine," and the other the
'9th number of " The Republican."
Mr. GURNEY, in opening the cuae, lamented the
necessity of prosecuting a woman ; but if that wo-
man, unmoved by the lenity which tiw prosecutors
had shown to her—onwarned by the fate which had
attended bee husband—would persist to violating
the law, the law must be vindicated.

The libels Inivisig been read—
Mr. HILL addressed the Jury on lehalf of the
.1-)feililairit. The Learned Gentleman adverted
strolgly to the destitute situation of Mrs. Cantle,
arid to the necessity which had compelled her to
earn bread for herself and fol. her children by car-
rvi::g on, as well as she could, the trade of her hus-
band. Ile declared that, personally, the Defendant
professed none of the doctrines inculcated in the books
she had sold; and maintained that the cause
of Christianity was hurt, not aided, by prosecutions
like that which was maintained against his client.
Mr. Justice BEST, in charging the Jury, observed
lipid the very able and judicious address which had
been offered to them by the Counsel for the de-
fendant. Illy Lordship admitted the painful na-
ture of the duly which was cast upon the Court and
upon the Jury ; but, while he deeply regretted the
situation of the defendant, lie could trot but be asto-
nished at seeing a woman stand forward as the op-
ponent of that system from which every thing TOO
lusble to woman was derived. It was strange to
see a woman forgetting that before Christianity pre.
vaited her sex bad been bat slaves to the passion
of their masters; that Christianity had raised her
at least to a level with man—had made her his torn-
paniou and his equal in this would, and the joint
partaker of his hopes in the neat. Of the libellous
Enure of the publication charged his Lordahlt had
no doubt..

The Jury, without retiring, found the Defendant
Guilty.

Establishment have the honour to report to your
Lordship, that the number of pe►sons vaccinated
during the last year. in London and it. vicinity, ex-
ceerls the number of any former year; it amounts
to 8357. Within, the some yea►, 31,003 charges
of Vaccine Lymph have been distributed to the
public.
Au abmirlant, no unceasing supply, which could
only be atforded by 'trek an Institution as that
which the Board have the honour to direct. has
enabled no to answer the earnest demands for Vac-
cine Lymph, fom various parts of Great Britain
hid Ird:old—from Jamaica. St. Vincent's,
Domi-
nica. Tortola. Grenada. Nevis" Montserrat. Au.
tsgua, Si. Christopher's, Demerara, Hayti, and the
Cape of Good Hope.
Lymph has also been occasionally requested from
the Colitinent or Europe, and charges were lately
transmitted to HanthrirAlt and Hanover.
Dar correspondents in Great Britain and Ireland
have reported to this Board, that the trendier of
persons vaccinated by them, during the year 1819.

vaccinated in London and its vicinity. a total of
83.897 persons in one year; vet many send DO
returns. or the her would be considerably
greater.
From these facts the Board think themselves
entitled to conclude, that the practice of Vaccine-
noir in his Majesty's domiutuns coutinnee to ad-
vance, and therefore that the coulidence of XPedical
Practitioners, and the confidence of the public in
that practice, remain utishikeit, notwithstanding
many unfavourable occurrences, with winch it will
be our duly to acquaint your Lordship.
The reports transmitted to this Board likewise
warrant the conclusion, that wherever small Poe

of that fatal distemper is known to have occurred
during the list year.
The career of Vaccination appears, however. to
have been less brilliant its its native country, than
its sinus parts of the Continent of Europe, where
the practice of it is essiorcrd by legal enactments,
and lonoculation for Small Pox is prohibited by
revere penalties. Under such regulations, it is
alirined, that the Small Pox has ceased to exist in
Drumm k fur the last eight years ; and that the
knowledge of this fact has slow induced hi■ Dullish
Majesty to proclaim the 611111 e Decrees in his West
India Colonies.

never been a single case to weaken his confidence in
the elf cacy of that practice.
Ass important Letter, together with a Treatise on
thissobject. has also been transmitted to the Board
from Dr. Krauss, un intelligent Physician, who is
charged with the eupernitendance of Vaccination in
the circleof Reed in Bavaria. Ile affirms. that in
that circle, containing half a million of pimple,
Small Pox has never occurred since the year 1807.
If these facts be correctly reported to. us, they
would appear to atlnrel COM/11611g proof that the ea-
titict;on of Small I'ux is entirely within our own
power.
The testimonies of same of our Correspondents

conviction in favour of the experiment of Universal
Vaccination is unshaken. _

It is • painful duly for us to state to your Lord-
ship, that 711 per.ons are reported, he the Bills of
Mortality of London, to have died of Small Pox
within the List year ; and Olt the ravages com-
mitted by this disease, in many other crtirr, and
iu mauy parts of the country, have also been great;
