T.LASPIIEMOUS
Tilt. KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF Tilt ATTORNEY-GENE-
RAL, V. SAMUEL WADDINGTON, FOR EUBLISHIND " PAL-
slues PRINCIPLES OF RAMIE."
The Jury being impannelled,
Mr. Waddinion addressed the Court as Counsel per se. I
have an oujeclion ; it is, that the case I ain upon the boaids
for, should not be tried by • apeeisl jury.
The Lord Chief Justice-1 ant buutid to try you by a special
Jury.
_ _

iVaddinzton then referred to a book, upon which he contended
be 11,0111 entitled to be tried by a cosunnn, jury, unless his offence
was of a 1101111i.ms charaeter, as against the king's Coverninent.
lie submitted that this was not such an offence an could
war-
rant an ex-tblciu infortultion.
The !.urd Chief Justice a iid lie should proceed to try—the
defendant might, if he chose, more for a new trial.
NVadiling-tnn—Your Lordship knows I sin entitled to a new
trial ; and I shall have something to nay to you before I Lase
dune.

The Solicitor General stated, that the defendan ' was accused
of a blasphemous libel, %birth, as it must be read by the °Meer
of the court, lie should merely state, that no person could doubt
as to the sacrilegious character of the libel. It reflected upon
the Old and New 'lrestament, and our Saviour, in the coarsest
language. The question would merely be, if the defetitlaut aus
guilty of publishing that a Itich bail already been pronoutteed a
libel in this court. Carlile's effects being taken in execution,
it ass thought there would be an end of such prosecntions.—
The defendant took a shop in the Strand, and inscribed his
name over the door in large characters. Placards were posted
in the window —" Paine's Age of Reason and Palmer's Prin-
ciples of Nature are now selling behind the curtain—no con-
nection with Waddington the fanatic."—Waddington himself
sold beliiiid the curtain. Another—" This is to give notice
that Waddington does not sell any thiug seditious or blaeplie-

There was a string like a bell rope mid kind a of trap a judo.

seen the defendant a that shop frequently. Several written
placards were exhibited at the Amp window. Willie*, made
copies of two of them.
Mr. Litchfield served a notice on defendant to produce those
placards.
Mr. Waddington-1 never received such notice.
Lord Chief Justice-1 don't think such notice was necessary.
I reserve that ler 'nether consideration.
W *Mess read—" Paine's A,r.e of Reeson, and Palmer's

several days—made the copy on the 4th of May, the day of
defendant's second apprelieneion. As witness was watching
the shop, observed the moaner in which the loudness ass con-
ducted. There was a spout counected with the floor above—

was drawn up to the first floor—there were one or two in the
shop occasionally seeing. There was a speaking trumpet

to serve each book—a !mots for each book, and but one ring.--
The person indicated what books lie wanted by putting the ring
upon that hook. They were Palmer's Principles, and Pain's
Age of Reason—these placards attracted a great number of

He-esatained by Mr. Curney.—The witness said the placard
he had been speaking of he copied with a pealed on paper. Ile
copied both the placards in the defendant's shop at the same
time.

The witness having 'Ailed bin inability to recollect when he
copied the placards, the Chief Justice repeated the evidence
Le had previously given on that point.
Witness—Copied these both at one time.
Waddington.—My Lord, I wish hint to refresh Lis own me-
snory —lie wants no assistance from you. I don't know what to
do where a witness in determined oat sweating falsely.
Mr. Smith, Bow-street °Meer, accompanied last witness to
defendant's shop ; Duke went with them ; part of it was Mr.
Poole's shop. Mr. P. allowed him to remain in bit house durbir4
the day. Duke was stationed on the staircase, for the purpose
of observing the house ; he some time after came Jowl', and
remained with Mr. Poole and Parton in the parlour. Whilst
they were there, Poole's daughter came into the parlour ; in
consequence of what she said, the witness and Parton went
out. Ile went into Wadilington's shop ; defendant was nut
there. Ile saw the names of books written On the wall, with
a mini and ham; attached it. The witness pulled a bell-rope
opposite the book he wanted (Palmer's Principles of Nalare),
There was a speaking trumpet which went up by the side of the
spout. lie said loudly through the trumpet Have you got
this r' lie at the smile time sent up the price allised to the
book. The witness put two half crowns in the hag which went
up. The defendant was not in the shop at the time, but came
in soon after. me wituess had nmt f reel% lit the book when lie
name in. W lieu IVaddi. ;Jon came into the shop he offered
the witness a chair to sit down. Stonily after the book pur-
chased came down the spout and fell on the door. The wituess
marked it.

Cross-examined by Waddington:—lfe said, when the de-
fendant offered him a chair, he was only in the shop upon pri-
♦ate business'. On a fanner day the is itness purchased of the
defendant Pope's Universal Prayer.
The Lord Chief Justice having interrupted the defendant
whilst putting an improper question, lie said. My Lord, I
know you sit here as the representative of the King ; but you
are well paid for the discharge of your ollicial duties. You
are all, from the Judge down to the Crier, Public Szrvants, and
we are entitled to have justice."
The Lord Chief Justice.—l t is my duty to inform you, when
you are putting improper questions, that you are wrong. You
are not at It[icily to put questions the law will not allow.
Waddington.-1 ask whether he did not swear at Bow-
street.

Lord Chief Justice.—That is a question you cannot ask iii
law.

Waddington.—Genilemen of the Jury, I have no law, and
)Oa are what a situation we are in•

- The defendant was proc. citing with irrelevant questions,
when he was stopped by Mr. Gurney. in consevence of which
he etclaimed--" Mr. Gurney, I will be et en with you this day
before I have done with you."
'the witness then said, upon further cross-examination, that
the defendant did not give him the hook, nor did the defendant
reeeive the looney.
Robert Duke went in May ►ast, with Smith and Porton, to
the house of Mr. Poole. Ile loosed *Moo gli the key hole of a
door up stairs and saw the d, Imiraut mid a little boy. Ile heard
at the same time the amind of Smith's voice up the trumpet.—

June Poole, daughter of the last witness, corroborated the
evidence giant by the officers. She saw the defendant go into
the first fluor of his premises, and she immediately told the
officers.

Passages from the book were then read.
The Solicitor General.—Thin is the case for the prosecution.
The defendant, after some preparation, then addressed the
Jury. It was not necessary, he said, to tell them who he was.
Phis Diavidu ( /Ante)lus Regius), the Attorney General,
had taken ou himself to prosecute him fur publishing a hook,
which, according to the evidence, he had neither sold nor re-
ceived money for. As to the merit or demerit of the book he
knew nothitig. lie bud never read one line of it. Ile was at a
loss to know what lie was prosecuted fur. Let them prove
that uny person bud been led away from his duty to God and
his country by the hook, and lie would answer for it. Black-
stone said, a man might be guilty of a crime without knowledge
of his offence. Ile certainly stood in • situation of ignorance,
before the officers dragged Gin to Bow-street ,where he was
committed, nut on the oaths of witnesses that the work was a
libel, but the bare opinion of )Ir. Vincent, the Magistrate. Ile
called upon the Jury to pause before they gave elect to this
es-ujiriuiuforwation, which he considered a relict of the old
Star Chamber. Ile reminded the Jury that little credit was
to be given to police ollicers since the blood-money conspiracy.
Ile was prosecuted by the society for the suppression of vice.

The Lord Chief Justice.—luu had better confute yourself
to your own case.

iVaddington.—My case, mr Lord, is well known to the Jnry.
I wish to say a few words abont other cases—l wish to let the
Jury know what the Government and the Bishops are about.
The defendant then read a hook, to prove that the Clergy
were not honest; but the Lord Chief Justice interfered. sod
refused is permit the defendant to make indecent ohservations.
One of the Jury said, they were ready to hear the defendant
speak for himself, but they had no desire to bear the work he
was r..ading.
Waddingtnn.—lf a verdict is given against me, the conse-
quence will be, that sour Lordship will be banded down to
posterity as the most tyrannical dredge of the day.
After having read several passages of another work, and
the Jury expressed a desire not s r hear him, Vie defendant de-
tailed a violent outrage tarred to hi niu the prison. lie de-

The Lord ChierJustice.—This is a question of considerable
importance; therefore it would be better to take the facts upon

ence.

lIAMSDEN V. ASIPTON.

Mr. Campbell opened the pleadings.
Mr. Gurney stated that Rini's'len and Sharp, farmers of post
horse duty, sought by this action to recover a considerable
2IUUI of money of the defendant, under the act 57 George 111.
and another 4 •1, 2.1 George 111. ap. 21, the question turn-
ing upon the construction of these acts. Forty • ourth Gen. 3d.
ch. 8. s. 3. where the distance shell not lie ascertained, and
where any horse, mare, or gelding, shall he hired at par mile,
then 14. t, per mile shall he paid." The defendant cariird mn
the business of letting horses to hire, having *tattles in Gray'.
Ina-lane. It was greatly more to the advantage of the stable-
keeper to pay Is. 9d. for each lime by the day, than to p.•y
10. per mile. The act says, wherever the distance is ascer-
tained, the duty shall he' paid per mile ; and in this the act is
imperative. Now, in cases of funerals, the distance can cud
must be ascertained. And in the ett..e of a nobleman's funeral
* great way from town, and the title:Omit pay Mg by the
day instead of the mile, would be a great loss to the plait/till,
unless, as the act directs, that the defendant shall pay a duty
of out-fourth of the money he !recites. Then the 9th Anne,
c. 23, bas a regulation with respect to hackney coaches with
more than two horses. Then the Ist: George I. pi or Me., that
nu person shall let any horses to attend any funeral, unless li-
censed as hackney coach prop worm and if any pension sliJi
drive any hackney coach to any funer.d without a uuuttwr stail

be subject to a penally. Apiet 24th George 111. c. 21, enacts
a penalty for every liaeln.y coach plying within ten miler of
Temple Bar without ■ number. The 42d George lit. c. 27,
gives au exemption front assessed taxes for two horses for each
backuey coach ; the other is 43d George 111. Then there are
hares fur hackney coaches. Now ut funerals, hackney coaches
we see every day, will have four or live horses, the defendant
in such ease paying no assessed ditty. The Leetned Counsel
contended the plainta, who paid a large auto of mu ey fur
farming these duties, was entitled to be ;mid by the defendant
fur every extra horse at funerals, as likewise by the mile fur
every horse so employed where the journey can be ascertained,
otherwise our-fourth of the money received.
Mr. Seat-lett-1 he defence we wean to set np in this case is.
that persons who travel to be buried don't travel post, and that
therefore the plaintiff, as farmer of post duties, has no claim
upon us in relyeet to funerals.-- (Laughter.)
Lord Chief Justice.—Well, well, we shall see bow that is
by the Act of Parliament.

Mr. Searlett buboiiiteti that the defendant paid assessed razes
for eighteen home, at one guinea a year each, it would there-
fore be fur the defendant to prove that any other than those
horses were so used.

N itnesses were examined upon the facts, and the parties
■greed to a verdict of nominal datum:es, with the view of Mill-
ing the question before the Court in the form of a special case.

THE KM V. HOWARD AND GIRNs.
This was an indictment against Edward Howard and Job.
Gibbs, persons well known tt the public, charging them with
a conspiracy, by subille means nod contrivances, to cheat and
defraud R M. Darknell, of 11071.

The case H as staled by 111 r. Scarlet], and afterwards detailed
in evidence.

Mr. Dark:nen, the prosecutor, said be was a stationer in St.
Martiu's•court. He employed the defendants as agents, to lend
out his money to interest. Ile supposed at the time there was
a partnership. Ile saw both the defendants doin4 business ;
the first transaction was in 1812. In 1817 the defendants re-
ceived 110/1. as the redemption of annuity granted to the NI ar-
gusts of Silo, by vvituess. lle applied fur the money, but
obtain it. One of the defendunta pointed to a bundle of papers.
and said, " 1 have his father's. will." The witness said, " what
is the 11. e of that, I want my money 1" They promised the
money several times—and one of them said--"ph, my boy,
we have done the IllarlborimAb annuity for you." The witness
saw Cildni several times, and always expressed complaints that
he was not paid the .Marquis of Sligo's money. They repeat-
edly told him of the Duke of Marlborough's annuity, and on
one occasion Gibbs threw down a bank note toy one thousand
pounds exclaiming " look at that, my boy !" The witness said
" then you can pay me." lie promised he woold pay the wit-
neon the next morning, provided he would not tell the other
annuitants. They never did pay him, hut expended his money
in the purchase of the Duke of Marlborough's annuity, which
became invalid by a decision of the Lord High Chancellor.
The witness, on his cross examination, said he bad been in bu-
siness forty years. He lirst employed the defendants in 1812.
They got ham II per cent for his money for four yenrs. The
plaintiff never gave them any general authority to lay out Ilia
Marquis of Sligo's money. lie signed the debenture for the
annuity in April,

The Snlieitur-General addressed the Jury, and I Wit-
IlelifeS were then called in support of the delendants' case, and
after an able charAe from the Lord Chief Justice, the Jury ac.
quitted both the titientbisiOl.
