FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR--Having lived to witness the
Trial of a nefarious publisher of the most im-
pious doctrines, calculated to unhinge the portals
of peaceable Society, and intended to eradicate
the Wholesome principles of our Holy Religion,
and to see this Patricide and his infatnouS Sup-
porters treated with that deference by our highs
Judicature which only belongs to merit and virtue,
1 cannot refrain from expressing toy astonish-
ment at the whole of this extraordinary spectacle.
By what infatuation was it that an indictment
was so framed, as to give this worthless Member
of Society an opportunity of multiplying and ex-
tending his mischiefs throughout the loWest and
most ignorant ranks, by means of Newspapers
;hat disgrace the Nation and the Press ? And to
what extraordinary species of moderation are we
to attribute to a Court not only suffering this dis-
gusting scene of hardened and blasphemous ex-
pressions to be ()fret ed to a Jury fur days toge-
ther ? Avowals that made all but the ignorant
and unhappy Speaker shudder ; and that it did
not even exert that power which is lodged in every
Court, of restricting the publication of all the
vile hod vulgar attacks which Atheism has launched
against a Religion that • has bstood its foes for
eighteen hundred years, and constitutes the moult=
dation of the security and happiness of millions :
the inflated arrogance of such a Publisher was
perfectly in character with the object of such pub-
lications--which all may now see were intender)
to demoralize the young, the ignorant, and the
needy ; and-hence to make of them instruments of
raliellionamd worder--as soon as such "Igen ts should
be necessary to coroplara the plunder
and respectable inhabitaOts of this County.--We
need not Hunt long to see, who was to take the
lead, when it should be sate so to do, in these
abominable transactions, and who still lut ks like
a cowardly Hyena, howling and famished in the
rear of these insidious butchers of the human soul:
But, are we to be the victims of our own Laws,
and their heterogeneous application ? Or, shall we
arouse ourselves, and be guided by common po-
licy ? Protect our Religion resolutely, and our
Constitution like men ! Put Iron) us the contatiti.;
nated part of the Press, by refusing a licence to
those who support themselves by corrupting the
morals of the Country—and rallying round Pro-
perly and Votne for common safety, under the
standard of the Nation, cut off at once the roue's
branches that disgrace the Country,-and pollute
the Land ? But, alas ! we are told, this is Law,
and that such arrogance cannot be rest; mitred in a
tree Cotintty.—Let us then correct those Lila 8
that tolerate licentiousness, and by a new Cole,
let the Parliament put an end to the power of these
ignorant, arrogant, and wicked spirits, who seek
only to promote disorder, anarchy, and the deso-
lation of our native Lind.

I am, Sir &e.

THISTLEWOOD FOR EVER.

Mn. EDITOR-1 Om very much obliged to yon
for having published my son Tut STLEWOOD'A
modest, candid, and explanatmy Letter in answer
to General Llus:r. whohaving fought his'good fight;
now beats a parley, proves recreant, and begins
to shew a white feather in his tail, as if to con es.-
pond with the white hat on his head.
So open and undisguised as are my Son's senti-
ments, I am chat wed with him, and who can he
otherwise white he speaks out plminly, and as-
slues us that Ministers are monsters, and Judges
and Counsel wear big wigs, only to answer their
own ends ; but what can be more to the point in
view, than that the people should help themselves
in contempt of them, and not wait for their de-
cision of delinquency, hut that all should tine
simultaneously into an immediate and general in.
snrrection, which will save those sage dispensers
of justice the trouble of trying any one in Che.
shire, Lancashire, I...eindon, or elsewhere, and be
a radical cure of our grievances ?

lo short, Sir, if a fond father can be allowed to
indulge a little vanity, I cannot help saying, if my
Son TinsTt.ewoon live and be not cot off by mad-
ness, or a premature death, he will prove hints: If
one of She greatest wonders that ever the world
wondered at, even greater than the Parasite its
Gil Bias, who ff“tered him out. of a good supper,
and all his money.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SERGEANT'S INv, Nov. 2.

THE KING V. THOMAS LEWIS PENNAL, ESQ.

This was an indictment against the defendant,
for refusing to serve the office of one of the Over-
seers of the Poor of the borough of Queeobo-
rough, having been duly appointed thereto by an
order of Justic,s, pursuant to the statute. At
the trial before the lion. Baron Graham, at the
Lent Assizes 1818, for the county of Kent, the
defendant was found guilty, subject to the opinion
of this Court upon a special verdict. The de-
fendant, who is clerk to the surveyor of the Ord.
nonce Department at Sheerness, and a substantial
housekeeper in the borough of Queeoborough,
was in the 72d year of his age appointed to the
office of Overseer, which he refused to serve, on
the round of an alleged exemption from serving
any parish offices, by virtue of an order of King
Charles 11., dated Bth June, 1664, requiring the
personal attendance of the officers engag,d in the
Ordnance Department of Sheerness to the duties
of their office, and forbidding their employment
in any parish office, &c. In 1792 the defendant
was appointed to the office of clerk to the Sur-
veyor of Ordnance, and sued out an exemplifica•
thin of his appointment in the Court of Exche-
y“..r. piestion was, whether the defendant
was exempted limn serving the office of overseer
by virtue of 1 is appointment.
Mr. ‘VALForID was proceeding to argue the case
on the part of the Crown, when

The COURT interposed, and said, that the spe-
cial verdict vas defective, inasmuch as it did not
state that the defendant was a resident house-
holder in Queennorough at the tune of his ap-
pointment to the office of Overseer. Unless this
objLetion seas waved, the case was not in a state
for argument.
Mt. GUENEY, for the defendant, said, that the
case being now reduced to a Cl,le6tion of costs, he
could not, on the part of his client, wave any ob-
jection in point of form.
Under these cirentustarces the COURT directed
judgment to be entered for the defendant.

Several other cases, mo9t. ot them hying paro-
rhinl seulemeut cases, %v. r e disposed ot, but none
were of pubhc incerest.

INQUEST
ON THE UNFORTUNATE sUFFF,RERS BY THE FIRE

IN ‘VHITECII APE (.-ROAD.

An Inquisition was held yesterday before J. W.
UN WIN. Esq. Coroner for the Eastern Division
of the (...:onoty of Middlesex, at the Red Lion,
Whiteehapel-road, on the bodies of George, Ed-
ward, and Mary Oran) ; the first aged six years,
the second seven, and the third nine years of age,
children of Mr Aaron ()lam, liner draper, in
Whiteenapel, who tell victims to the flames,whieh
consumed his premises, as stated in our Paper of
Monday.—The bodies were in a dreadful mutilved
state, several of the limbs being burned off. The
only wi'ness examined was the housemaid, who
gave the following evidence :
Sarah Baker.-1 was hoinemaid to Mr. (Dram;
abort lial:-bast eleven o'clock on Sunday evening
I went to bed, and left every thing safe as I sop-
posed. My master and mistress, and two children,
slept on th, first floor, my fellow servant and I
slept on the second floor ; she had a child sleep-
ing with her, and I had two children with nre
the tltree deceased children slept in air adjoining
room to us, and the rest of !he family, consist-
ing of three sons and a servant man, slept on the
third floor. About half-past twelve o'clock I was
awoke by my mistress crying out Fire, and calling
to me to loony up, or ,ke we should be de-
stroyed. I immediately ran down stairs, and
teturned up again for the three children who slept
svith rite and the other serrant. ‘Ve brought them
down to my toaster, who threw them, and the.
two children that slept in his room, out of the
window. The persons who slept on the third
Hoot, escaped by the ladders. The fire raged
with such fury, that my master and mistress
bad to escape at the first floor window ; the
floor under us was on fire, and our feet were
scorching front the flames, so that one could not
return to save the three children who slept it; the
adjoining room to US ; we escaped with our lives,
when the roof fell in, and the three child/en pe-
rished in the flames. I cannot tell how the fire
originated.
The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
Death."

The. remains of the bodies, which were runti-
iated in a most hotrid wanner, were placed to-
gether ti► a square elm box, and being laid on a
bier, were conveyed to the Jews' Burial-ground
in Landon-fields, where the funeral service was
read by the Rev. Solomon Aarons, the Deputy
Rabbi. Multitudes of persons were assembled to
witness the awful scene.

REMAIIKA3LE INSTINCE OF CaNtNr. SAGACITY.
Sunday last, the tvind blowing strong, oc-
casioned a heavy swell On Yarmouth beach, by
which a boat mooted to the jetty, with one man
on hoard, was upset. At this instant a dog (be-
longing to Mr. W. Smith) leaped into the sea,
and after a considerable stinggle, succeeded in
drawing the main from under the boat, and sup-
ported him till a foituitous wave actuilly threw
him upon its limtwo, whence he was taken by a
rope from the jetty. The dog then swam atter the
oars and tit,. man's hat, which he severally brought
to the shore. This is the third time of this dog
per Forming the same act, having before rescued a
six years old, out of the river.

Nothing seems to operate as a warning to pre-
veut Ore very dangerous praci ice of locking
children into an apartment where a fire is kept.—
At Glasgow, .on Wednesday night, a fine
about five years old, was so shockingly hnrnt by
her clothes catching fire, that she only survived
the accident about two hours. When the neigh-
bour.: forced open the dour, they found mother
chip), not of -the same farniiy, but who haul also
been locked in with the above girl, clinging to
the roof of a bed to avoid the flames twin her
cbuipaaion.
