STATE CHURCH PERSECUTION.
wA,„„PIVE INDIVIDUALS, Messrs. BARRETT, ED-
I.C'IuS, RANDALL, SPURR and BALL, have just been
one 1 liberated from Bodmin Gaol, in the county of Cornwall, after
month's imprisonment, and have suffered the treatment of
rntroort felons, for what has been termed a riot. The three
nrst-named are highly respectable men, in a large way of busi •
~e" in the borough of Truro, and they attended the sale of their
property, which had been seized for Church-rates. In the
!;3urse of that sale there was uproarious behaviour on the part of
terowd, and some of the auctioneer's windows were
.broken.
0 's
gave the Tory faction an opportunity for persecution, and
,ne Which they on this occasion, as on all others, readily em-
braced. They instituted criminal proceedings against the five
Persons named above, and obtained a verdict, hoping thereby to
Ptrt_a stop to a future opposition to Church-rates in the borough
onTruro. The legal expenses of the prosecution, including a
of 251. each on three of the defendants, amount to about
1., of which about 180/. has been subscribed, and an appeal
tlOnow earuestly-made to the Dissenting and the Liberal por-
;,lof the community for their pecuniary aid.
3 .Ilb Church party are not yet satiated. They have since
eutzed upon the property of three other Dissenters, for trifling
iln! due for Church-rates, and they seem determined to foster
‘..eeply malignant feelings in which the recent trial ori-
rated. It is hoped that the public will mark their detesta-
zof such bitter animosity, which, instead of promoting the
re-
sorts of religion, tends to bring discredit on the party that re-
ti to it, and on the principles they profess to espouse.
uSubserfptions will be received at the offices of the Bristol
