THE KING'S RETURN'.

wassaw•—.
lIIS MAJESTY arrived at Carlton Palace at
seven o'clock on Saturday evening, having travel-
led with post horses from Milford, at which
placehe landed at five o'clock in the morning of
Wednesday last.—The Royal squadron sailed
'roin Dunleary (now King's Town), near Dublin,
on Wednesday the .sth inst., put back the same
day, sailed again 'on Saturday, and arrived in
Milford Haven on Sunday the 9th, where it was
detained by contrary winds until Monday night.
The squadron sailed next day (Tuesday) with
intent to heat up Channel to Portsmouth, and
had reached within 30 miles of the Land's End,
when, from the boistrous state of the weather, it
was obliged to put about, and return to Milford
Ilaven, where it arrived at 4 p. m. on Wednes-
'day- At five next morning his Majesty lauded
amidst the cheers of thousands of spectators. A
band of music was in attendance, which played
several national airs, and his Majesty appeared
to receive the marked attention which was paid
to his
Royal person, with much gratitude.—He
bowed frequently, and looked remarkably well.
Three carriages were landed from the fleet, one
of which was his Majesty's private one, and in a
short time his Majesty, accompanied by Lord
.V,raves, drove off with his attendants for London.
"5 Majesty proceeded through Carmarthen and
A bergavenny. The following letter gives an
—account of his Majesty's arrival and reception at
Cheltenham :
CIIELTENII AIVI, SEPT. 14.—1 n consequence of
Intelligence having reached this place, that his
I"jEsTY would pass through in the course of
this afternoon, all classes of the inhabitants were
upon the alert to welcome his arrival, and to
I.NifY their loyalty and attachment to his Royal
rerson in the most marked and the warmest
rnatther. A meeting of the inhabitants and vi-
sitors was therefore immediately called at the
4‘rembly Rooms, when resolutions were enter-
" into, and signed by the Rev. Charles Jervis,
as Chairman of the Meeting—that the bells
should be rung, the Royal standard hoisted,
triumphant arches erected in the streets, bands
of music
the playing .the national air of " God save
King;" an escort of gentlemen on horseback,
4.411 blue favours, to conduct his Majesty through
the town ; and that Mr. Marshal, the Master of
Vie Ceremonies, should, on the part of the inha-
bitants and visitors of the town at large, address
.1"s Majesty in suitable terms of loyalty and at-
tachtuent• During the progress of these prepa-
rations, his Majesty's arrival was unexpectedly
Announced, which unfortunately prevented the
Perfect accomplishment of the intended arrange-
ments ; but during the time his Majesty was
changing horses, Mr. Marshall, accompanied by
4 deputation, approached the Royal carriage,
a;nidst the plaudits of the surrounding Specta-
l°rs, and addressed his Majesty in the following
terms:
" May it please your Majesty—l present my-
s°l' as Master of the Ceremonies of Cheltenham,
"'ail am desired by the inhabitants and visitors
t express to your Majesty their offer of dutiful
:,sPects,' regretting they have not an opportu-
l'tY, by your Majesty's longer stay, of testifP4
;1g -telr-l&-yatty and attachment to yourMa-
Jes ty 's person."
His Majesty received Mr. Marshall in the most
hacious and condescending manner, and made
e,,following reply
[ am very sensible of the 'dutiful and
kmarked attention of the persons whom you re-I
~tti nt ; I assure you I am too much fatigued

LANCASTER ASS f ZES, FRIDAY, SEPT. i 4.

[Before Mr. Justice HOLROYD and a Common Jury.]
LIBEL UPON HER LATE MAJESTY.
REX V. BLACOW, CLERti.

•
It was expected that this trial would have
come on yesterday, and the Court in consequence
was crowded to excess, especially with females.
The same curiosity being rather increased than
abated great multitudes assembled at the doors
-
of the .UOUrt.before they were opened this morn-
ing. But previously to the opening of the public
doors every part of the Court, where•any accom-
modation for sitting, or even for conveoientltand-
ing and hearing, could be found, was already
occupied. The reverend defendant was among
the first who took his seat immediately below
the crier, and directly opposite to the Jury.
When the doors were opened the rush was tre-
mendous, and in an instant every inch-oistand-
ittg room in the Court (the most spacious in the
kingdom) was occupied. At nine o'clock Mr.
Justice /lout° Ito took his seat, and the Jury
was sworn:

Mr. TINDALL stated the pleadings. It was
an indictment. against the Rev. Richard Blacow,
for a scandalous and malicious libel against the
late Queen. The first count charged, that. he
had composed and preached the words charged
as libellous; the second count charged,. that he
had composed and published the words in 'a
pamphlet,. entitled the. substance of discourse,
&Tx.; the third count charged, that he had com-
posed and published the words set forth in the
indictment.- The defendant pleaded nut
upon whirl.) issue was
,wined.
Mr.. BROUGHAM.--MaY it please your Lord-
ship, Gentlemen of the .Jury,—lt is my painful
duty to lay before you the particulars •of this
case, and it is yours to try it ; and my, part shall
be per'formed. in a very short time indeed, for I
have little, if any thing, more to do, than merely
to read—what I will not characterise by words
of my own, but what I will . leave to you, and
may leave to every man whose mind is dot -per-
-verted, to affix a .proper description. I read to
you what the defendant composed and printed.
'You have heard from my Learned Friend,—and
if you have any doubt, it will soon be removed,—
to whom the 'following passage applies. Of
the Queen it is that the passage is written and
printed :

" The term ' Cowardly,' which they have now
laid to my charge, I think you will do me the
justice to say, does not belong to me ; that feel-
ins. was never an inmate of my bosom; neither
when the Jacobin's raged around us with all
their fury ; nor in the present day of radical
uproar and delus:an. The latter, indeed, it must
be allowed, have one feature about them even
more hideous and disgusting than the Jacobins
themselves. They fell slow n and worshipped the
Goddess of Reason, a most respectable and
decent sort of being."
And you know, gentlemen, that she was a
common prostitute, taken from the stews of Paris.
" A most respectable and decent sort of being,
compared with that which the radicals have set
up as the idol of their worship. They have ele-
vated the Goddess of Lusts on -the isesksAssk of
shame, an object of all othOrs the most congenial
to their taste, the most deserving of their horna4e,
the most worthy of their adoration. After ex-
hibiting her claims to their favour in two distant
quarters of the' globe, after compassing sea and
land Kith lser guilty paramour to gratify to the
full her impure desires, and even polluting the
holy sepulchre itself with her presence, to which
she was carried in mock majesty astride upon an
ass, she returned to this hallowed soil so hardened
in sin, so bronzed w;th infamy, so callous to
every feeling of decency or of shame, as to go on
Sunday last"
[Here gentlemen, the -Reverend Preacher al.'
luded, not to the public process.; sn to St. Paul's
to return thanks, or to other processions which
might partly, at least, be considered as political,
but to her late Majesty's humble, unaffected,
pious devotion in. the church of Hammersmith.]
—" to go on devotion_
last, clothed in the mantle
of adultery, to kneel down at the altar of that
God who is of purer eyes than to behold
iniquity,' when she ought rather to have stood
barefoot in the aisle, covered with a sheet as white
as ' unsunned snow,' doing penance for her sins..
Till, this had been done, I would never have de-
filed my hands by placing the sacred symbols in
hers: and this she would have been compelled
to do in those good old clays when church dis-
cipline was in its pristine vigour and activity."
Gentlessien,theauthorof this libel is a Minister
of the Gospel. The libel is a sermon ;--the act
of publication was preaching ;—the place was his
church;—the day was the sabbath ;—the au-
dience was his congregation. Far be it from me
to treat lightly that office of which he wears the
outward vestments, and which he by his conduct
profanes. A pious, humble, inoffensive, charit-
able Minister of the Gospel of peace is duly en-
titled to the tribute of affection and respect
which is ever cheerfully bestowed. But I know
no title to our affection or veneration which is
possessed by a meddling, intriguing, turbulent
priest, even when he chooses to separate his
sacred office from his profane acts ; but far less
when he mixes up both together—when he
refrains not from entering the sanctuary with
calumny—when he not only invades the sacred
circle of domestic life with the torch of slander,
but enters the hallowed threshold of the temple
and casts it flaming on the altar—when he pol-
lutes with rank calumnies the air which he espe-
cially is bound to preserve holy and pure—when
he makes the worship of God the means of in-
juring his neighbour, and polluting the flock
committed to his care. Of the defendant's mo-
tives I say nothing. I care not what they were ;
for innocent they could not be. I care not whe-
ther he wished to pay court to some patron to
look up to the bounty of power, or whether it was
mere mischief and wickedness, or whether it was
a union of interest with spite. But be his mo-
tives of a darker or lighter shade, innocent they
cannot have been.; and unless the passage I have
read Poceeded from innocency, it would be a
libel on you to doubt that you will find it a libel.
Of the illustrious .and.unfortunate individual who
was the object of this attack: I forbear to speak.

She is now removed from such low strife, and
there is an end, with respect to her, of, I cannot
say chequered, for her life was one continued
course of injustice, oppression, and animosity
from all who either held o.r looked up to—all who
either posseised or courted, emolument and ag-
grandizement;—but the grave has closed over
her unrelenting persecutions. Unrelenting I may
well call them, for tlieS, have not spared her
ashes. The evil passions which beset her steps in
life have not ceased to, pursue her memory, 'and
with a resentment more implacable than death.
But it is yours to vindicate the iris-tilted laws of
your country. If your verdict will haVe no ef-
fect on the defendant, if he still go on tinrepent-
ing and unabashed, it will at least teach others
or deter them from violating the decency of the
law.

Mr. Thomas Burgland Johnson.—l am a printer at Liver-
pool. Mr. Blacow applied to me for printing of his sermon.
That was the sermon now handed to me. During the time
the printing was going on I saw him repeatedly. I delivered to
him the proof sheets. I have one in rii), custody. It contains
a few marks made by him. The w.ord " crisis" is altered to
" juncture." It• was delivered - back with that alteration to me
by Mr. •Blacow. The sermon was afterwards printed by me.
Mr. Blacow paid me for the printing.
' By Mr. Blaeow.—r do not know the instigators of this pro-
secution.. I don't know at whos?.-expence it is carried on. I
know Mr. Brougham. He offered himself a candidate for
Liverpool some years ago. - • .
Mr. Justice Ilor.ngrz.—What has that to do with your
dem ce ? . .
.
Mr. Blacov—l withed shca,w that Mr. Brcugham is
ecnnected with- those liivLi' ,uil who instigated the pro-,
fiatt„,
s2cation• • . , :;0.,.. -1,-,- -: ' ' ...•
MT. Justice Ho tne•iri.--Iniat is immaterial.
Mr..filacow bowed with great submisSion, and said he would
do nothing which his Lordshi? thought irregular.
Cross-examination cOntinited.—Mr. Brougham is a member
of the Concentric Society. I know Egerton Smith, the Editor
of -the " Liverpool Mercury," perfectly well: I have known
bin 9or 10 years. lis character and princiVes are perfectly
well known to me.

Mr. Justice HOIXOYD.—That can have nothing to do with
your defence.
Mr. Blacow.—My Lord, I wish to show the
,spirit of the
party in Liverpool with whom Mr. Brougham is connected.
Mr. Justice FIOLROYD--If I allowed you to go into such
inquiries, I should be guilty of perverting all justice.
Mr. ilacow.,-Nly Lord, I shall ask nothing which your
Lordship shall think irregular or improper.
Cross-examination continued.—When 1 was engaged in print.'
ing the sermon, you undoubtedly had frequent conversations
with me respecting its principles and tendency. The sub-
stance of your motives, as you stated them, was.to expose the
views of the Whigs and Radicals. Yoe never showed bitter-
ness or hostility towards the Queen on these occasions. - Yon
often expressed your regret that she had connected herself with
a desFerate faction in the State. You often lamented the dan-
cer to which the country was exposed from the intrigues of
teat faction and the dread of its consequences. There was a
procession in Liverpool .a few days before your sermon was
preached, in honour of what was called the Queen's triumphant
acquittal. I was not near the procession. I cannot testify
Whether there was confusion and uproar in consequence.
Thomas Coglan—l was present at the preaching of the ser-
mon on the 20th of November, 1820, in St. Mark's. It was a
.Sunday evening's discourse. There was a numerous audience.
believe it is the church in which Mr. Blacow usually preaches.
I never heard him but then. I took notes. I have not a note
beginning with the term " cowardly." I recollect the term
being mil. I have a note respecting the Jacobins worship-
ping the Goddess of Reason. I conceive the expressions used
were, (as read by yon,) " They fell down and worshipped the
Goddess of Besse n —a most res_pectable. and decent sort of being
compared with that which the Radice.ls have set tip AS the idol
of their worship." I have not the very words, but I have the
substance. I have the very expression—"- They bskvz elevated
the Goddess of Lust," "un object of all others the most con-
genial to their taste, the most deserving of their homage, and
the most worthy of their adoration." I recollect the very words
being used ; but I did not take them down. I have the words
down—" After compassing sea and land with her guilty para-
mour." I have the very exprocsions--" Even polluted the
Holy Sepulchre with her presence," and " returning home
hardened in sin and bronzed. with infamy."
81aeow--My rie,t ghat t`:; words be

• Dlr. Justice HOLROYD.—NO : you rnsy refresh the wit-
ness's memory, but not more.. You may suggest the subject,
and the regular way will be for burn to -read from his notes.
have these words (witness read from notes) " Last Sunday she
went clothed, &c." _

• Mr. Justice Ilcir.itovn.—You cannot support the first count,
you cannot prove the tenour.
Mr. TINDAI.I..—ft is only tlie substance that is art forth.
• Mr. Justice 1-thLitoYD.,Ves, but you must prove the te-
nour ;- you must prove the very, words.
Mr. TINDALL.—It is perfectly immaterial, my Lord ; for
the other counts are quite the same.
. (Examination continued.). I read the sermon, since printed,
yesterday. I compared my notes with the sermon; and found
a great portion word for word as I took it clown, and the sub-
stance the acme as I recollected him to ha',..c preached. •
(llere a minute exaniination as to expression took plaCe,; and
after some legal conversation, the .first count charging the pre-
cise words preached was abandoned.)
' Witness proceeded.--Without doubt the words applied to
the Queen. I haVe not the least doubt of it-, .
Ey Mr. Blaeow.—l am not in the habit of . attending St.
Mark's church. My motives -in attending that evening were,
that I had heard you intended' to preach a sermon, the chief
object of which-was to •animadvert upon the Queen. It was
from curiosity I attended. I do, not recollect any individual
that communicated it to me. I believe it was generally talked
a. I usually attend the Unitarian chapel, of which Mr. Har-
ris is minister.

Mr. Justice HoutoYD objected to the evidence.
Mr. Blacow--;.Suppose I should show him to be an Atheist.
Mr. Justice HOLROYD—The time was before he was sworn.
You cannot examine as to th;.t, now he is upon his oath.
Mr. Blacow—l am far from insinuating that the witness is an
Atheist; I only suppose a case.
Mr. Jams B.unnell-1 was at St. Marks one eVenin? ; I
don't know the date. I heard Mr. Blacow preach. [The
printed sermon was handed to the witness, and he was directed
to look at the whole passago set forth. 1 I cannot swear this to
be the.passage, verbatim et literatim, that I heard: but I be-
litve this to be the sum and substance. Looking over the' hole
passage, I certainly did understand the words to apply to the
Queen. I could not, by possibility, suppose that they applied
to any other woman. lam still of that opinion.
By Mr..Blacow—l ani not in the habit of attending St: Mark's.
I heard you thrice, with that time. There was a procession, I
think, before. that day. I saw the procession ps.sitlw,vn Castle-
street. It principally consisted of mechanics' labourers, and
others, of the town. There were at the head twenty or thirty
gentlemen whom I knew, and atom I would call respectable.
I cannot speak to the humbir; ,4 made the remark at the
tune that there were not above thirty Whom I knew. I think,
generally Speaking, there were .frorn 4,000 to 5,000. There
Were but 30 whom I'knew ; there might be many whom I did
not know, who still might be very respectable ; I wish to throw
no reflection.

Was it net your impression that they were generally the
lower orders ; I mean the very lowest, the scam and rabble ?
It certainly was a motley group, a very motley group. and there
was not that portion of respectable persons that I saw at other
processions. My Lord, I don't wish to he understood to adopt
the words " scum and rabble." They were mechal i .s, and
perms of that class, that might be very decent persons fur any
thing 1 know.
• Mr. BROUGIkAM—No, no ; we know the words are not
yours.
Re-examined.—The procession was very peaceable and well
behaved.

Mr. Millar—l purchased the printed sermon—that printed
sermon, at, the shop of Evans, Chegwynn, and Hall. It was
exposed to sal; there.
Mr. Cross, the prothonotary, now read the passage set forth
in the indictment, the defendant's attorney comparing the in-
dictment at the same time.

Mr. Blacow-31y Lord, there is a variation in the title.
The variation was, that the whole title was set forth, at least
that the words " and an appendix bearing on the radical ques-
tion" were not added to the rest of the title, after the word en-
titled.. His Lordship thought the, objection immaterial ; tut
the third count having no title 'Set forth in it, it was read and
compared, and no variance found.
Mr. BROUGIIAM—That is my case.
Mr. Blatow—lt is my desire that the whole sermon should
be read.- I don't wish the notes, except perhaps one note.
Mr. Bnoucill.ni—lf the whole sermon be-iead, I shall in-
sist upon the notes being read.
.;
Mr. Justice k 1 onto'vn—Do you wish the whole discourse to
be read, as bearing upon the charge against you, and material
for your defence?
Mr. rilaeow—Yes, that in my-desire. •
Mr. Crtoss read the printed,sermOn inabout an hour's time.
Mr. Blacow next read a sermon in manuscript, which occu-
pied about two hours and a half. We offer only a few sveci.

mens. The Jury having heard the Whole of that discourse, he,
would now proceed to state his motives, and then he would con-
clude with some reflections. He entered on this subject with
great reluctance, owing to an event so awful and sudden as the
Queen's death. That event ought to have hushed all angry
feelings.—(llere the defendant appeared to weep.)—But
Broui,liam was the first to disturb her ashes, Alas, alasl On
that party death made no impression. The malignant feeling's
which were brooding In their hearts-, vegetated in their breasts,
even beneath the cypress. The hydra of faction had reared its.
terrific head on the day of her funeral.. That disclosed the un-I.
paralleled malighity,and atrocity of the designs they had enter-
tained. Hereon:3Se. were determined to early their vindictive
feelings beyond the tomb., Her mantle was on their hezds. and.
they were endeavouring to raise trophies on her tomb. 'Phis
was a posthumous. effort of their malice ; nothing but the lowest
and most malignant feelings of revenge could have drawn him
into this court. Blasphemy and sedition had raised themselves
beneath her banner 9 • tree-son itself had been distilled from her
pen. Previously to her trial he had always felt the war. Pat in-
terest in her favour, end supposed that it was only levities and
indiscretions that were brought to the count with velocipede-
celerity on the wings of the wind. Favoured as she had been
by the late King, and widowed as she had been from the first
years she was in this country, he had felt great interest in her.
tie felt for her perhaps with greater sincerity than her vaunted
profeisional champions. But when the foul, filthy, andabiimi-
nable charges against her were established—
Mr. Bnouorram.—l should not wish unnecesaarily. to in-
terfere, and r have stayed long before I oll'ored an interruption:
but surely this is not to be endured.
Mr. Justice Hor.RolrD.—No evidence would be admitted of
what you assert, if you could produce it : and we must not,
therefore, hear assertions resorted to.
Mr. Blacow.—When the foul and filthy—
r. OUG !Init.—He is just repeating the very terms. •
Mr. Justice 110LItOYD.—No, Sir, you must not use such
language. lam sorry to interrupt you on your deftnee, but r
Cannot in law hear such assertions.

Mr. Blacow--Surely I may show what my mdtives were.
Dlr. Justice I-loLnorn.—You cannot make.- assertions of
guilt, when proof would not be admitta You may
yoar own opinion and belief.
Mr. 131acow.—Then this is my opinion. .. •
Jr. Justice iiOLROYIL—But you may r:,t proire your opi-
nion from Sewspapers or other sources. 'flic law will rot
allow it. . •

Mr. Blacow.—The highest court of taw tried the question,
and gave a vcrdict.
Mr. Justice HoLnoYD.—We don't legally know what was
done there.

Mr. Blacow.— It appeared the- highest verdict that could b 2
given.

Mr. BuouG TlAM.—There was no vcrlizt.

• Mr. Blacow read on.—No ingenuity- could pervert the evi-
dence of her own witnesses ; and then he felt indiration and
disgust in place of pity and respect. • Then there wes a meek.
procession in the place he • lived in. The howling ternotst d
scanted the land.. Then, and not till then, it was fat he troll
up his pan. Every man who had a spark of loyalty, a gain
of religion, a partiCle of affection for his country, wes beued
to arrest the pores of the desolating storm. He was- satis-
fied that it was his duty to bringall the energies of the pulpit to
beer upon it. Party politics were far beneath their notice,
but there. were Christian politics which had. r.. steict chim on
their attention. (Here the defendant quoted the several pas-
seees of Scripture that are usually applied to politics.)With
ell-the symptoms of dissenters disloyalty and eh:elf:cam were
interwoven ; and;f they were not checked, they would soon re-
vive an Oliverien dynasty. Having made these remarks, he
would .go on next to show thet the symptoms which had pee-
ieft'ted the French Revolution heel begun to appear in this coun-
try wheel he preached his sermon. " %Then bad men conspire,
good men must comleine." It was a cool and deliberate aet he
did. He had yet to learn the head anc . front of his Oa:lending.
He had supported the sacred shield of protection, the banner of
the Sovereign, against the standard of anarchy, tumult, and
rebellion. If the moral desolation had not been turned by the
pen, where would the dialerne where the stars of nobility, where
the mitres have been ? The democratic mob, under the many-
beaded monster, the Majesty of the people, would have tri-
umphed. " Thank (led, who r 2.7, me courage to do nay duty
in ifiliction, &c." (quoting the tine peroration of Burke to the
Electors of' Pristolo thiswill be mv consolation." If they would
lead an ear to the faction which brought him there, to the ad-
vocate who had lead the audacity to threaten the Peers—

Blatiowe—lt was so reported in the newspapers.
Mr. Bitoteeilam.-- If it was, it was most feleely reported;
but it never was so reported.

of every radical.

Mr. Justice HOLROYD.—N.OU must not express your opi-
nion here tipon matters before t;..;-Peers.

ratively humble Court; if similar et)ressiors 'were' addrc3sed to

Mr. Justice II onnovro.—She did act stand on the same
footing as other subjects.
Mr: rflacow.— She is a subject.

Mr. liitouottAm.—lt was tendered.

Mr. tilacow.-111 talk to you by and by.—(The Rev. Gen-
tleman next talked of what he called .Mr. Denman's filthy
Greek.)
Mr. Justice HOLRO*D.—Yue have nothing to 'do with per-
sons who tire not here.

N 1 r. Elno•.v.—As public men
Justice D.---No, when they have nothing to do
with this issue:

Mr. Elacow.—. This is material, being:used in the Queen's de-
fence.

M r. Justice HOLROYD—BUt you must accompany it with no
Mr. Liscove.—Then put out " filthy," though every one
who understands Greek /mews it to be so. He would much
rather regard what Mr. Brougham did than. What he said.—
He refased the meney to be voted by Parliament for the Queen.
Would he itet up and deny that ? This was noble. Not a penny
of John Bull's money would she receiek till. her name. was re-
stored to the Liturgy. This war, worthy of the " brave Bruns-
wicker," as The Times called her; but Mr. Brougham advised
her to take what Parliament gave with far too generous a feeling.
Mr. pe DI: A )1.-,HO'has no right, my Lord, to make such
asserti f.ee especially as they are notoriously false.
Mr. ,—lt is reported. •
34,131t0r't TiAst.—No, it is not. I was more than 200 miles
from town when the money was accepted.
Mr. Justice HoLnoYD.-4 hope, Sir, you have good sense
and feeling enough not to go on in this war.
•Mr. Blaeow.-.--Hoae and Cathie were alfoweil to go very far,
and am lerlot to heedlowed to go so far .?
31r.. Justice floa:stotri.—Tire Chief Justice doubted since
whether he was justified in letting him go so far. In the case
of another person, we were all of opinion that it, ought not to
be done.
Mr: 131acow.--I calculated on going on so; if this be cut off,
I may as well sit down. -
Mr. Justice lIOLROYD.—You are not to be suffered to go on
because vote calculated on it.
Mr. filacow next spoke of " such reptiles as Wood and
Waithman, who had talent only to weigh a drug or measure a
yard of tape, regular traders in guile and deception."
Mr. Tustize HOLROYD.—If you go on so, I must stop you.
Mr. Blacow.—Then I cannot go on. •
Mr. J ustice ii oast° I'D.—No slanders are to be repeated here.
Mr. Blecora-3a pablic men ?
Mr. Justice- iloance YD.—Not on another transaction.
Mr. Blacow.—lt was said that the Queen had been ready to
make an affidavit, as it had been said, that the would not re-
ceive the money. Let them not believe it, as comings.from
Ilroaghain. He had been guilty of a moral degradation which
he hoped would never agaia be seen at the bar. But the good
and great old Chancellor nobly replied to him fiat justitia ruat
emluni : he was like a venerable oak in his native soil. Mr.
Beoughatalad endeavoured to intimidate by his threats when
he could net cajole by his sophistry. That was the practice of
Ins 'ferocious school. - He borrowed the word from i‘lr. Cree-
. vey, of Whig-radical notoriety--for Liverpool had the hOnour
of giving that Statesman birth. (The reverend defendant
again plunged into the vortex of the French Revolution, and
the comparison to the ferocious monster Nero.) They crept
into Parliament after all, through the crannies of rotten boroughs.
Mr. Brougham and Sir Francis Burdett, and others of that pes-
.tilent faction, were :',:embers of the Concentric Club, that horde
of ferocious persons. He (Mr. Elacow) had not defamed the
Queen ; and he was prosecuted, not for deft ming the Queen, but
for the many editions of his sermon, against the Whigs and
Radicals. When it went through two editions, a full conclave
of raging Liverpool Radicals•resolved to prosecute him.--(Here
quotations of proceedings in the Lords and Cornrows . were
;repeatedly checked in vain.)—ln the picture between the fero-
cious Nero and our generous King, was it not' a dirett call'to
rebellion ? This hate been the intention of the Radical Faction

in taking up the Queeo case. The vr:11 known Journal of this
faction was the " Liverpool Mercury," the common receptacle
of sedition and blasphemy, and Attacks on private character.—
He (Mi. Illzcow) knew the faction. • They had fury on their
lips, vengeance in their hearts, and blood on thcir hands.— (The
Rev. derndant next entered into a long history of his efforts to
deprive an AtiterAt of parish ofiiccs, and of his failure, through
tje conduct of ." the Well-known colleague of s radical Counsel
for the Queen, and' Member for. Nottingham.") •
• Mr. Justice. libi:norn,—No, Sir._

Blacow.—As public characters ?.
Mr. Justice 110L491-D.—As a ;nail ethicat'on, conducting
yeni own defence, and professing zeal for submission to autho-
rity, I am surprised that you can go, en so.
Mr. Blacow again reverted to Nero, and the comparisonn to
Liar, alluded to blasphemies against Ministers; and said the
Queen's answers, to use a well-known expression of Mr. Sear-
le:es, smelt of blood. Why was this prosecution brought
against him after the Queen's demise ? Why was he -selected?
(Ile next lauded the Judges of the land, end lamented the au-
dacious slanders even riponthem, and concluded this part by
claiming)—" Parish the arm that would not be raised at such'..;
crisis--silent for over be the tongue that would dot speak."--
Ile defamed not the Queen. It was utterly impossible, if he
had had the eloquence of Sir Harcourt Lees in Ireland
or of that man of straw John Bull, against width he understoeed
Sir John Copley set his face. (The interruptions w!"ra incessant
licee and unavailing.) His arm had &opt from the shoulder--
blade befcfre he had suffered thefinger of pollution to touch the
i'acred symbols of Christ'A bOdy. (He next proposed to read
passages much stronger than he had used, from a volume talled
Ounaikocrec," but he wets prevented from thet:t:ourse
irrelevant. He pleaded the example of 'Hone. and Cathie, and
complained that the whole of his' defence would be cut up.)
Mr. Bitoucfrar.texplained, that Hone had quoted pe:odics,
'not to show that others had not been prosecuted, but to 4ow
that he was not guilty Of profane or blasphemous parody,
inasmuch as parodies as liable to that charge had been written
by,persona of and -;uhtcd piety, and ornaments of the el umh. •
Mr.. racks, tortures, even the ~.^11:-bet were his
reward, he would not abate one word of what he bad said. The
image of the" Pedestal of Shame" he borrowed fr?lu.a letter
in a fietuVrn paper—not the leading journal ;"no. it was not
iron The Times, the most false, most pestilential, meet
liemtrous, Irlait inflammatory paper that . eve.r,.clisgratod
any Ceuntry ; re:: from John Bull, the rays .:bf whose
honest truth ei&p,?ll-xl the mists of tlelusinr: which anarchy
had raised. Mat honest .;ohn was sometimes besidc
himself, for he attacked • even Mr. rougham., whose
malignity now rankled in the gloomy recesses of his
ver.gefel heart. ; but they would deliver line (Mr. Blacow)
from his mercilcss grasp, and let him • and John Bull fight it
out. John by interrogatoriea,':put truss-,grained ques-
tines. Of the purity of Mr. Brougham's family he knew rat
thing ; but the Duke of Wellington said to the 'mob May all
your wives be lik e the Queen." If the.cap fitted Mr. Brougham
he might take it.
Mr. Justice Hor.noYn.—lt is quite irregular.
Mr. Blacia*.-13ut the letter he alluded to was in the Courier,
Ithieli prided its elf en decorous and gentlemanly language, anal
whiz!: admitted notlzin low or scandalous. Ile had heen.hapny
to bozzow from its well-attempered page. He mentioned tt.'is
to show that there were some other reasons for fixing Mr.
Brougham's legal harpoon in him. He had probed the c^ple
of his eye when lee had praised the .Ring's Ministers. Irene
was nreperly acquitted because he had not had the intention far
whic'n he was prosecuted : so ought lie (Mr. Bheow) to be
now acquitted.
Mr. BRouoraam,—lt is quite untrue that you clone are se-
lected. Bills are found by the Grand Jury against others, and
it is well known. . ,

• Mr. Blacow.—Bcfore God t e solemnly swore ha was notgus:_y.
The Common Council of London was a viperous brood, a nest
of Distilential Radicals; and mountebank d-ealers in dis!opity.
When they talked of " her eminent virtues," the very stones
of this house would start from their beds and speak. (A gain
be struggled to go into the evidence bcfcre the Lords, but
after much resistance to the authority of the Court, he was
restrained.) Who instigated this trial? Was it Alderman
Wood—Billy Austin—or that paragon of wit and wisdom
and- fine writing, Lady Hood ?—the Escort Cotnmittee?—or
the Common Council! No, it was the Whig-Rath:Ms, be-
cause he had " confounded their politics, and frustrated their
knavish tricks." 'lf a London Jury acquitted Hone, surely a
Lancaster Jury would acquit him (Blacow.) The Queen 'eft
nothing in her will to Alderman W 00.4 ; and it was said. that
Mr. Brougham had said of him, that except the Wait-lard anima/.
who eats thistle, there was not a more stupid animal ; fram
*Lich be supposed he called him absolute wisdom.
Mr. Baot;oHaar.—There isnot a syllable of truth in that.
Mr. Bia:Jiw was very glad to hear it. The W'higs in office
were always tyrants ; out of office always traitcra. They v.-ere
seemly for ca-st off' Q.l CTI when she should have answered
tilatold crazy hoadod'gcat, Lord.,Erskirre,
cast off h s concubine.

Mr, linoucurax.-0! 0 ! There's a hliisi r of the

gospsi. . •
Mr. Blaeow then eulogized the Constitutional' Association,
the joyous acclamations of the Irish, and poured forth a fervett
prayer for every earthly and eternal blessirg to Cho; ;e V.
Justice HOLROTD, in the most guarded and tempe-
rate language., gave his opinion that it was a libel. • TLe
epitlatts were most abusive and derezatcry. Could he be
rant that he was tradudng and vilifying the Que:.n ? ;By
particular statute they were to juice wl,ttlier the attendant was
guilty. As a clergyman of the Church cf England, holding
himself out as• very 'loyal and very desirous of the pres;:riation of
the State, he gave his opinion of the ;,I.vweris guilt, left act
the people to their own reflections, and thus he aistaibed the
peace. But it was for them to jud.,,:e whether it was libel or
not. They were to lay out or their minds all ocher considera-
tions, and totally their own opinion, respecting the q-acstion of
&.e Quern's guilt or innocence. The only qinstion-was, N.:I-e-
-ther the publication tende,d to degrade ttc, Queen, to tradan!r
her; and was published with intent to vilify her, and bleak the
peace. In his opinion it w3...s a libel.
The Jury retired for a quarter of an hour, and found a ver-
dict of GUILTY.
