L,_4•lr INTIVLLIGENCE—Feb. 2.

press for any punishment to be inflicted upon him,
but consented that he should go at large upon his
entering into a recognisauce to appear end receive
judgment if ho should be called upon to do so, but
with the understanding that no further proceedings
would be taken if the offence complained of were
not repeated.
Mr. Bodkin, having briefly called the attention
of his lordship to what had before taken place, said
that the defendant had not redeemed the pledge
he had given, but on the 18th of January he had
exhibited a most offensive placard, and on the 25th
of the same month, the day of the marriage of the
great crowd to assemble,
Princess Royal, a second, still more disgusting and
was disturbed,
and the Com•
offensive, referring to that event, was also exhibited.
aand This
the
proceeding
publicpceaatieseo l a
missioners of Police therefore felt it to be their
duty to pub the law in force, and call upon the
defendant to appear and receive judgment upon the
indictment to which he had pleaded guilty.
The defendant when called upon to state whether
he had anything to urge why judgment should not
be passed upon him, addressed the court in a very
excited manner, and after declaring that the plea
of guilty was given without his sanction, and that
he had been deprived thereby of his rights as an
Englishman, to be tried by a jury, he went on to
justify what he had done, and said that his only
object was to ameliorate the condition of his coun-
trymen, and show them the wrongs they 'were
suffering at the hands of the government. He also
said that he had effected more cures in his profes•
eion than any other medical man had done, and
that he had a great number of cases now under his
hands, which no one but himself could cure. He
went on for some time in a very excited and inco-
lte :'rain, and asserted that he had expended a
fortune in berietitting the condition of his fellow
creatures, and he said he had written six hundred
letters to Lord Palmerston with the same object.
The Recorder, upon whom the demeanour and
language of the defendant had evidently impressed
the idea that his mind was affecled, inquired
whether he had eny friends present who would take
care of him
Mr. Bodkin said he was informed that the defen-
dant exercised the profession of a medical man, and
from all ho could learn there did not appear to be
any ground for believing that his mind was at all
affected, but, on the contrary, he appeared to know
perfectly well what ho was about.
A person in the body of the court said he had
known the defendant for some time, and he had at-
tendedelvas
veryhi and his
infamhiis rof
l ypession. He also said, and he considered that
b
ha believed that the prisoner was actuated by
humane views in the proceedings he had adopted.
The Recorder observed that if the mind of the

defendant was really not affected, it took away the
only excuse, as it appeared to him, that could be
offered for his conduct.
The defendant here exclaimed that it order that
he might obtain his liberty and. a tend. to the
patients that were under his charge, and which he
was sure nobody else could cure, he would promise,
if they would let him go 1107, that he would not
repeat the OfiollC3.
The Recorder said he should not now pass sen-
tence, but the defendant would be brought up again
on Thursd.:ty, and if he had any friends they had
better attend on that day.

Lime-street, as far as London-road, and then
turned, the cortege being followed by an immense
crowd. The rev. gentleman seemed bewildered
and astonished, but much affected. The design
evidently was to take the car in triumph as far as
the Prince's park ; but on reaching the middle of
Renshaw-street Mr. Gent appeared to remonstrate
against such a kindly, but overpowering, demon-
stration. The horse was brought up, and one or
two more immediate friends having leaped into the
car along with him, he was driven rapidly away.
Lime-street was crowded with people for a long
time afterwards.

The witnesses Ware and Gilpin, and some others
who had given evidence, were got out of the court
by a hack way, and were escorted by a body of
police until they reached the street, where they ar-
rived unmolested. The female witnesses were so
terrified at the demonstrations of the crowd that
they refused to leave the court till evening. Few
local occurrences have created a greater sensation
in Liverpool of late years than this clerical inves-
tiga' ion.
