DOkING.

w 7 bad job he was employed in, as he was obliged
to 'attend four or five times before he could obtain
admission. Had not received any promise, nor did
witness .expect .any reward. All he had done was
to obey the orders of his superior Officer. Witness
went to the mieting for the purpose of taking down
what was said, without reference to any par.
ocular subject. Alderman Atkins directed me to
tale down what might be sail, and present it to him ;
I tool notes the first time that I went to the Meeting.
Had never before been employed to take notes ; Alder-
man Atkins advised me to take notes; when I took
notes I sat in the body of the Areopagus. There
was no noise abbot witness that disturbed him:—
'Knew Cornelius Pugh, but had never conversed wish
him on the subjecr. Was dot aware that he had
omitted a word, but was positive that what he had
put down was correct. Did not, know the difference
between Greek and Latin. The notes now pro-
duced were the same as those produced before the
Lord Mayor—was very much shocked at some of
the things he beard, but was not frightened out of his
wits. The defendant spoke for an hour, so that witness
ould not have taken more than a twelfth part, and
those sentences, according to his. opinion, were the
worst. Wircess heard nothing that would expliin the
offensive expressions so as to do away with their tnean-
-mw. If he had heard anything that would haek ex-
prai,,,t them away, would certainly have put them

thing that would has: altered the sense of the passages.
By the Defendant.—He might or might not have
(looted from infidel writers; should certainly have
known whether defendant spoke in his own person or
from other writers. Past of the arpmeat was certainly
very learned and above the witness "comprehension. The
general style of defendant's argument was not above his
comprehension. Wi ness is a member of the church of
England, and was in the habit of 'attending his Chris-
tian duties. Must bate read the 5 h chapter of St. Luke,
as he had read the whole of the New Testament.
Defendant.—Are not the words " Swear not at all ?•'
Witness read the words—
Defendant —"I have nothlnglmore to say to you,Sir."
Re.examioed.—l heard the defendant say the whole,
of the New Testament was false.
This closed the case for the prosecution, mid
Mr. nikow was now called on for his defence. He
called the particular attention of the 'Jury to thw, very
peculiar nature of ilia ease. In alI proceedings of the,
nature of the- prel'ent, the odds were very great
against the defendant ; • but in his, the odds were
fearfully enlarged. He trusted, that thoie who heard
him, would join him iu the feeling, that the wisest and
best of learned men had fallen v'ctims to blind
prejudice. In noticing the expressions that had
fallen from the lips of the Attorney Gmeral, he cal.
led on the Jury to :ay whether it was the language
of charity or of justice? He, the defendant, solemnly
declared that he was not the man he was represented to
be. He would pledge himself not to utter one word,
nor breathe one se_ ntence. that the most virtuous mar,
could condemn. He would not believe that the Jury
could be brought to the belief that helras BD Atheist.
He was nut an Atheist—he *as not a Christian.- " 1

am,' said he emphatically, is A DZIST:' He had in this
muse sacrificed every thing that was dear to him in life
ID rapport of his theological opinions. He should return
to pri without losing any confidence in his faith,
without losing any ofhis fortitude, as he was convinced
that it would be giving a fatal blow to religious liberty.
What same the real facts of this ease? By whom was this
prosecution commenced against him?By the Lord May or,
who was himself a Dissenter to the Established Church,
aod yet denied him, the thfendant, theme'e right that he
• claimed for himself; therefore on what ground was the
right of the Lord Mayor or the City of London founded,
that they were justified in restraining him from incul,
• sating religious and moral doctsines? With respect to
the formation of the Society of the Areopagus, the
Jury were not probably aware.: The late Lord Mayor
had been applied to, and bad actually sanctioned for
two whole years the promalgation of the doctrines pro-
pounded there. Had any svil consequences arisen
daring that time? No. What necessity then was there
at this time so interfere with the mmiing ? There were
no obscene books put forth. The gravamen of the
present charge was the direful effects that would ensue
on the youthful mind. The defendant here launched
out into an anathema against the Missionary Society,
which induced
Lord TENTUIDIII to remark—You had better confine
yourself to answering the charges against you. •
The defendant desisted, and proceeded to remark, that
the question here was, whether what was orthodoxy at
Cambridge should be declared blasphemy in London ?
It was really barbarous that they who now prosecuted
him should do so, because he was an honest disbeliever
of what they professed to believe, and in doing so had
merely the object of opening the eyes of the deluded
. and convincing them of their errors. The defendant
here begged to have some passages read from the Lec-
tuie by another person. •
Lord TENTREDEN—rfeinnot impose that task on any
person here; you ate perfectly able to read them your-
self, and if you wiih. for refreshment you shall have it
afforded you, but I must proceed in this case as in all
irJ.ers.

Defendant—My Lord, my wish is that a friend may
be allowed to read for me.
Lord fiNTRIIDIM-•—i cannot order any person to do
that. may read any part or parts you may mean
to prove in evidence, in answer to what has already been
read which is in evidence.
The defendant here read a few theological passages
from his lecture, and thea proceeded to comment on the
`tiidiice in support of the prosecution. Was it, he ob-
served, very likely that a person who had never before
taken notes—who was wholly unaccianialed with discus-
sions onths*gical points—should twilit person to be
deputed Oh the active, and in fact the only. agent, to
bring ho grave, and to him, defendant, important
a charge? kith, if allowed to be proved on such evi-
dence, must Consign him to a gaol. The only effect an
adverse verdict against him would have, would be to
prove thernseves guilty of the very charge they had
brought against bins, and thus tend more to shake
that religion which they so strongly pretended to sup-
port. Was he, the defendant, to be d. clued guilty
of blasphemy because those who now appeared against
him held a different opinion? That the witness did not
wider:tato:l the sentences he had taken down; that the
ware he had put on them was not their reel meaning,
he should clearly show. That he did not go with a
view of taking a fair report, is cleat by his own conies.
sins, The defendant here proceeded trt read a comment
frorn the Lecture on the Scriptures in a strain that
called fotth so marked a disgust on the whole auditory,
that it was with difficulty restrained. 'lie again pro.
seeded to comment on the charge that he had treated
the Heir Testament with levity, but submitted that in
doing so he had only remarked on those very passages
which the sound Theologians and most eminent

criti'a bad deseribe,d, as the most flagrant dial melt!
be peraied. From the nature of the formation .41
the A reopagui. and the lectures that intik place them, it
was impossible that any thing but hypothetical elm.-
skin could be uttered in the course of arguing on. the
respective points of discussion. If such evidence as
that adduced on the present occasion were to be taken
as-conclusive, there was en end to all' idea of trial,
as no defence could alter the determination come to;
and to call ft a tri.il wars mere mockery of the term—
he must be the victim, and the distant faggot would
.have served for the funeral fuel. It was not the-witness
whose feelipgs were roused against hint, it was others
who stood behind, ashamed to come forward, who were
ihisreal prosecutors, and who themselves were disbe-
lievers, but not in theaame honest sense as himself. Wete,
he asked, public speaters and public lecturers to be
ruled with a rod of iron at the will of such a faction as
Whitfield's, and their asscciates. He submitted, that on
the evidence adduced he ought to be acquitted, or the
ground that the witness did not come forward spon-
taneously, sod that the prosecution originated in wicked
and corrupt motives ; and after speaking for upwards
of four hours, called on the Jury to actinic him, on. the
ground that there was no law, either legal or ecclesias•
trial, under- which he could be convicted.

Lord 'fIIIITiRDIIII summoned up the evidence to the
9 Jury who were left in deliberation when our Repenter

he endeavoured to comply with. The enemy which he

One di last week, a poor woman accompanied by
he! Erisbaod, both in a stye of wretched destitution,
came into Stamford, and, as is usual with persons of
their class, the woman walked to Burghley House to
solicit alms, either in the shape of money or broken
victuals. Perhaps, since the tender S4rah Hog ins
first adorned the splendonr of Burghley by beconking
its mistress, a greater surprise has not been experienced
within its precincts. The wretched supplicant rung the
bell, and the porter, a portly, handsome looking fellow,
appeared, but became agitated by the object bet.; re him.
She craved charity ; he answered by anterrogatoriei
and who was she? what was she? where did she
come horn? how came she there and in that coed.
twin? To all which answers were given truly and trem.
blingly. She had married against the wish of her pa.
rents, whose cite she had deserted for that of her bus.
baud ; he had been a soldier nine years ; but uow em.
bittered poverty was their lot. The honest fellow had
known the applicant from the moment she that day
met his vision, though he had not seen her for 14 years
previously, and now, unable longer to refrain, the tears
twit from his eyes, and taking the poor creature bribe
hasd, be subtilised, " You ale—you ire—my sister !"

'The astonishment of the woman may be conceived
.;
an explanation followed; her brother was younger, and
bad retained a recollection of her features, whilst his

were not to be le:copied by her, for he had advaoced
from youth to manhood since she last saw him. It is
needless to add, that prompt relief was given to her
who had thus found a brother in a stranger far froth
her native vales, and that that brother, with commend.
able generosity, afforded to his sister and her husband
the pecuniary assistance becoming his and their 'elec-
tive stations.
